Action | Less restrictive and burdensome record-keeping for on-hold prescriptions |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 8/2/2013 |
Allowing on-hold prescriptions to be entered the date they are received in the pharmacy, allowing correctness of data entered to be completed by pharmacist on duty, and allowing pharmacist on duty when dispensed to prospectively review would prevent possible filing errors or misplacement of an actual prescription. It will also allow someone performing remote dispensing to determine if prescriptions are on file at the pharmacy. I think this will make workflow simpler and cleaner without pharmacies having to keep track of paper prescriptions.
