Transcription Transcribing
Prescription documents are sent for transcribing by pharmacy technicians. In the transcription process, the technician reviews the original prescription prepared by a doctor or veterinarian and records the prescription instructions, dosage, drug, strength and number of refills for all prescriptions on the supplied documentation.
Once the prescription is validated, the system searches for any orders in the ‘Ordered‘ queue for the customer. If there are any available, it attempts to process the orders on the presumption that the prescription may fill outstanding requirements for the order(s), and if successful, the order can move on to the next queue for appropriate handling.
