You are probably familiar with the quote “If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done.” This quote pertains to pharmacies as documentation is critical for patient care, reimbursement of services provided, and legal purposes. There are rules governing how pharmacy entities are to store and maintain their records as well as retrieve them if they are requested by the Alabama Board of Pharmacy or law enforcement agencies. The pharmacy’s supervising pharmacist is responsible for ensuring that accurate records of all prescription medications received and dispensed are appropriately maintained and readily accessible for the required amount of time as set forth by the ALBOP. Pharmacies involved with compounded prescriptions, mail order prescriptions, or central prescription filling must also maintain compliance with documentation regulations.
