856 IAC 1-29-1 Approval of electronic data processing system

Sec. 1. (a) No electronic data processing system may be used by a pharmacist pursuant to a category I or category III pharmacy permit as an alternative to his or her recordation of prescription information unless that system has been approved by the board. (b) No electronic data processing system may be used by a pharmacist as an alternative to his or her recordation of information directly on the original prescription under IC 25-26-13-25(e), without the approval of the board, and such an electronic data processing system does not qualify for approval unless it satisfies at a minimum the requirements found in this rule. Any such system must be approved by the board before initial installation in Indiana. Any pharmacy installing such a system must make a written request to the board for approval. Approval is subject to withdrawal for cause so that the pharmacist must in such a case discontinue use of the system as an alternative.
