Background

The information required for a pharmacy prescription transfer is as follows:

All basic information from the original prescription

Patient name, Drug name, strength and dosage form, Quantity, Sig, Prescriber name, Name of the person who called in prescription (if not the prescriber)

Additional requirements for RECEIVING a transferred prescription include:

Name and address of the pharmacy which the prescription is transferred from
Full name of the pharmacist giving you the information
Date of the transfer request
Date prescription was written
Date of original filling
Date of last filling
Original refills allowed and number of refills remaining
Original Rx number
The word Transfer must be written on the face of the prescription. If the drug is a CIII, CIV, or CV include the DEA # of prescriber and pharmacy

If you are the one GIVING the transfer information, you must record the following:

Full name of the pharmacist
Pharmacy name and address where you transferred the prescription.
Once you have transferred a prescription out of your pharmacy, you must write VOID on the original hard copy and/or in the pharmacy computer system.

Remember - different voice accents and pronunciation can lead to miscommunication.

Instructions

Listen to each pharmacy transfer and record all of the information on a piece of paper.

Note: all patient and prescriber names used in this activity can be found using the simulated pharmacy computer system.

Enter the information about each prescription into the appropriate fields and click "Check Answer."

If the grade box changes from "Ungraded" to "CORRECT" you may proceed to the next prescription.
If the grade box changes to "WRONG" then some information is incorrect and must be changed before proceeding.

When all five transfers display "CORRECT" you may print a certificate of completion with completion code by clicking the button above.
