The individual pharmacist who makes use of the pharmacy prescription application shall provide documentation of the fact that the fill information entered into the pharmacy prescription application each time the pharmacist fills a prescription order for a controlled substance is correct. If the pharmacy prescription application provides a hard-copy printout of each day's controlled substance prescription order fill data, that printout shall be verified, dated, and signed by each individual pharmacist who filled a controlled substance prescription order. Each individual pharmacist must verify that the data indicated is correct and sign this document in the same manner as the pharmacist would sign a check or legal document (e.g., J. H. Smith or John H. Smith). This document shall be maintained in a separate file at that pharmacy for a period of two years from the dispensing date. This printout of the day's controlled substance prescription order fill data shall be generated by and available at each pharmacy using a computerized pharmacy prescription application within 48 hours of the date on which the prescription was dispensed. The printout shall be verified and signed by each pharmacist involved with such dispensing. In lieu of preparing and maintaining printouts as provided above, the pharmacy may maintain a bound logbook or separate file. The logbook or file shall include a statement signed each day by each individual pharmacist involved in each day's dispensing that attests to the fact that the prescription information entered into the pharmacy prescription application that day has been reviewed by the pharmacist and is correct as shown. Pharmacist statements shall be signed in the manner previously described. The logbook or file shall be maintained at the pharmacy for a period of two years after the date of dispensing.
