If the pharmacy is computerized, what must the PIC provide to the receiving pharmacy?

When a pharmacy is computerized, the PIC (Pharmacist-in-Charge) is required to provide a printout of all patient profiles to the receiving pharmacy during a transfer of pharmacy operations. This requirement ensures that the new pharmacy has access to complete and accurate patient information, which is critical for continuity of care. Patient profiles include important medication history, allergies, and other relevant health information, allowing the receiving pharmacy to safely manage medication therapy for patients without interruption.

The transfer of patient profiles is essential in maintaining patient safety and ensuring that medications are dispensed correctly according to the individual's needs. This practice is aligned with regulations that promote the secure and efficient transfer of sensitive patient data, facilitating appropriate medication management and minimizing the risks of medication errors.
