We as a profession need to strive to keep our laws and regulations current with new practices that have evolved with the multitude of technologies that have improved our practice. The regulation regarding "on hold" prescriptions is an example of Law/Regulations that needs to be updated. This regulation not only increases non-productive work for physicians and pharmacies but also could increase drug diversion with lost prescriptions. Thanks!
