When transferring a prescription out, which of the following details must be recorded?

When transferring a prescription to another pharmacy, it is essential to document specific information to ensure continuity of care and compliance with legal requirements. Recording the pharmacist's name, the date of the transfer, and the details of the receiving pharmacy is crucial. This information helps maintain accurate records, ensures that both pharmacies are aware of the transfer, and provides a clear audit trail. It also facilitates any necessary follow-up or verification that may be required regarding the prescription.

While patient identification and prescribing physician details are important in the context of pharmacy practice, they are not specifically mandated for recording during the transfer process as required by regulations. The focus on the receiving pharmacy’s information provides clarity on where the prescription has gone and who handled the transfer, thereby promoting accountability and professionalism within pharmacy operations.
