Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / August 2005Filing hard copies
Someone told me one of the big chains is starting to scan their hard copies, and will no longer bother to put them in order, but just bundle them up day by day. Why didn't I think of that? I hear they also intend to have the RPh compare what the entry person types into the computer against the scan of the hard copy, before counting the pills. Seems like a good idea: You could clean up the errors before printing and labeling. I thought that sequenced filing of hard copies was required by law in most states, and that the hard paper copies had to be readily retrievable. Didn't CVS et al start scanning rxs years ago? > Someone told me one of the big chains is starting to scan their hard > copies, and will no longer bother to put them in order, but just bundle [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > counting the pills.

I believe the separation of controls from non-controls is required in some states, but how you organize them is up to you. As an employee of a pharmacy that scans their hard copies, I'll share how we do it around here (other area's might be different). CIIs and CIII-Vs are filed separately in numerical order (prescription number). Non-Cs are bundled by the 100s, but not in order. They are still retrievable. If I need to pull Rx 1234, I just have to find it in the pack of 1200-1299. I asked the auditor from an insurance company, and at the time, they had no policy to accept reprints of the scanned Rxs as hard copies. We will still probably save time vs. putting everything in order.
