Grays Harbor County pharmacist suspended on allegations of not verifying patient prescriptions in the pharmacy software system
OLYMPIA – The Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission immediately suspended the license of Grays Harbor County pharmacist Douglas L. Morrill (PH.00010338) pending further legal action.
Allegations state Morrill didn’t check or verify the drug utilization review (DUR) on patient prescriptions.

Morrill allegedly admitted he depended on technicians to show him the DURs.
Morrill cannot practice as a pharmacist in Washington until the charges are resolved. He has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges and the suspension.
