Hi there,
Any University of Colorado Pharmacy students recently taken the law class? I'm studying for the CO MPJE....graduated in May and moved out here from WI. I read through all the laws, but I have a lot of questions of "gaps" that I would come across and want to make sure I'm interpreting them right. If anyone has a moment....here's a couple of questions I'm pondering:
How long are Sched II prescriptions valid in CO?
What are all of the requirements to be on a prescription order? (in CO law, only states
oName, initials, license #, or secure electronic ID of pharmacist making the initial interpretation
oDate dispensed
oAssigned serial #
oQty dispensed (if different than ordered)
oAdditional: documentation of any changes/clarifications; substitution documentation
What about pt name/address, drug name/strength, prescriber name??? Or are these covered federally and I'm just not looking in the right spot? (I know for Controlled substances, there are explicit federal laws, but I was just wondering for any non-controlled prescription)
Do faxed prescriptions for CIII-CV need to have a physical written signiture before being faxed? (In WI they do...treated like a paper prescription)
Are there any laws in CO regarding electronically submitted prescriptions? Is an electronic signature recognized for Schedule III to V prescriptions?
Can a pharmacist or intern verbally transfer a Schedule III to V prescription to another pharmacy for the one-time transfer? (in the Boards Rules/Regs it mentioned non-controlled prescriptions may be verbally transferred)
If anyone with some experience in CO pharmacy and law could answer any of these....I'd really appreciate the help! Or if you could refer me to someone (I don't know if I'm in the right thread- 1st time visitor
) Thanks so much in advance!
