C. Checking the Prescription

1. Visual Check: The pharmacist or technician performs a check to verify all scripts that are filled by the SP 200 or SPUD as well as those filled manually by the staff using the SP Central Workflow System.

a. The pharmacist or technician scans the system-generated barcode on the filled prescription.

b. This scan produces an on-screen drug image (front and back) of the medication, so that the pharmacist may easily compare it to the contents of the vial and/or package. (Scripts filled by the SP 200 are left uncapped for easy visual assessment.) All of the prescription information is also on the verification screen.

c. The system records who verifies each prescription in the pharmacy and at what time, by matching Personal Identification Numbers with the initials for that staff member.
