856 IAC 1-29-4 Auxiliary system

Sec. 4. In the event that a pharmacy which employs such an electronic data processing system experiences system down time, the pharmacy must have an auxiliary procedure which will be used for documentation of refills of prescription orders. This auxiliary procedure must insure that refills are authorized by the original prescription order, that the maximum number of refills has not been exceeded, and that all of the appropriate data is retained for on-line service. However, nothing in this section shall preclude a pharmacist from using his professional judgment to benefit the health of the patient.
