45:14-68 Patient profile system.
29. a. A patient profile system shall be maintained by all pharmacies for persons for whom medications are dispensed. The patient profile record system shall enable the dispensing pharmacist to identify previously dispensed medication at the time a prescription is presented for dispensing.
b. The following information generated or transferred to the individual pharmacy practice site shall be recorded in the patient profile system:
(1) The family and the first name of the person for whom the medication is intended (the patient);
(2) The street address and telephone number of the patient;
(3) Indication of the patient's age, birth date or age group (infant, child, adult) and gender;
(4) The height, weight and other patient specific criteria for those medications that are height or weight dose dependent;
(5) The original or refill date the medication is dispensed and the initials of the dispensing pharmacist, if those initials and date are not recorded on the original prescription or in any other record approved by the board;
(6) The number or designation identifying the prescription;
(7) The practitioner's name;
(8) The name, strength and quantity of the drug dispensed;
(9) The individual history, if significant, including known allergies and drug reactions, known diagnosed disease states and a comprehensive list of medications and relevant devices; and
(10) Any additional comments relevant to the patient's drug use, which may include any failure to accept the pharmacist's offer to counsel.
c. The information obtained shall be recorded in the patient's manual or electronic profile, or in the prescription signature log, or in any other system of records, and may be considered by the pharmacist in the exercise of his professional judgment concerning both the offer to counsel and content of counseling. The absence of any record of a failure to accept the pharmacist's offer to counsel shall be presumed to signify that the offer was accepted and that the counseling was provided.
