Hi, I've been in practice for about 4 years and now preparing for another states MPJE. Here's my confusion on DEA laws related to 'hardcopy printout of each day's controlled substance prescription refill data.'
DEA states [21 CFR § 1306.22 (f) (3).] that each pharmacist who refills a CS Rx must accept responsibility for having refilled a CS Rx by signing a log. In practice however, everyday a log of all CS Rx refills prints out, which is required to be signed and kept on record by the next day pharmacist (who could be different the one who refilled the CS).
My confusion is, according to the fed law, does the next day opening pharmacist have to sign and acknowledge the accuracy of refills for the previous day's refills? or the original filling pharmacist? Because that's not what we do in practice
