Section 200. Automated data processing records of sale  


Latest version.
  • A. An automated data processing system may be used for the storage and retrieval of the sale of controlled substances instead of manual recordkeeping requirements, subject to the following conditions:

    1. Any computerized system shall also provide retrieval via computer monitor display or printout of the sale of all controlled substances during the past two years, the listing to be in chronological order and shall include all information required by the manual method; and

    2. If the system provides a printout of each day's selling activity, the printout shall be verified, dated and signed by the licensee. The licensee shall verify that the data indicated is correct and then sign the document in the same manner as he would sign a check or legal document (e.g., J.H. Smith or John H. Smith). In place of such printout, the licensee shall maintain a bound log book, or separate file, in which the licensee shall sign a statement each day, in the manner previously described, attesting to the fact that the selling information entered into the computer that day under his initials has been reviewed by him and is correct as shown.

    B. Any computerized system shall have the capability of producing a printout of any selling data which the practitioner is responsible for maintaining under the Drug Control Act and such printout shall be provided within 48 hours of a request of an authorized agent.
