Can an electronic prescription indicate that it was issued by a person who does not have prescribing privileges?
No. The electronic prescription laws did not change the basic requirement that all prescriptions must be issued by a practitioner with prescribing privileges. Prescriptions that do not contain an indication that the practitioner himself or herself issued the prescription cannot be filled.
