on hold rx's
 

I truly think this regulation is both unnecessary and redundant considering the current technicology in place in most pharmacies. I certainly could see the possible need for this before the advent of computers prior to when we had readily retrievable data. These days, we are able to access data almost instantly so to have to duplicate effort by making new numberts on on-hold rxs is both archaic and unnecessary. Thank you for allowing me to comment on this matter.
