| Action Summary | Regulations do not specifically address when the data entry of on-hold prescriptions must be performed, so some pharmacies store this prescriptions in a single file until needed. Others perform data entry of the prescription and file by the date of entry into the computer which is non-compliant with the current regulation, but find it burdensome to retrieve and move the prescription to the file associated with the date of initial dispensing. Additionally, when the data entry is performed on a separate date than the date of initial dispensing a pharmacist may not be verifying the accuracy of the data entered at the time of entry. The Board has amended the requirements to allow for more flexibility and less burden in recordkeeping. |
