Description

This online prescribing policy is a document that outlines the guidelines and procedures for prescribing medications via an online platform. It is designed to ensure that online prescribing is conducted safely and ethically and that it meets all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. Key aspects this online prescribing policy covers includes:

  1. Patient Eligibility:
  • Online prescribing is sometimes only appropriate for patients who have previously been seen in person by the prescribing provider or for established patients who have a valid relationship with the provider. However, for less complicated cases online prescribing in some cases is appropriate for new patients or for patients who have not been seen in person by the provider in the past.
  1. Patient Assessment:
  • The online prescriber must conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s medical history, current medications, and current health status before prescribing any medications.
  • This assessment may include a review of the patient’s medical records, a review of any relevant laboratory or diagnostic tests, and a review of the patient’s current symptoms and conditions.
  1. Medication Selection:
  • The prescribing provider must carefully consider the appropriateness of any medications being prescribed, taking into account the patient’s medical history, current medications, and current health status.
  • The prescribing provider must also consider the potential risks and benefits of the medications being prescribed and ensure that the patient is aware of any potential side effects or adverse reactions.
  1. Documentation:
  • The prescribing provider must maintain detailed and accurate records of all online prescribing activities, including patient assessment, medication selection, and any follow-up care.
  • These records must be readily accessible for review by the provider and any regulatory agencies.
  1. Communication:
  • The prescribing provider must maintain clear and timely communication with the patient, including providing appropriate follow-up care and monitoring the patient’s progress.
  • The prescribing provider must also ensure that the patient has access to appropriate resources and support, such as information on how to take the medication safely and effectively.
  1. Training and Certification:
  • All providers who engage in online prescribing must be trained and certified in the proper use of online prescribing platforms and in the appropriate prescribing of medications.
  • Training must be regularly updated to ensure that all providers are knowledgeable and compliant with the online prescribing policy.
