When receiving a transferred prescription, which of the following must be included in the computer recording?

When receiving a transferred prescription, it is essential to include the date of the last fill in the computer recording because this piece of information helps to ensure continuity of care and appropriate medication management for the patient. The date of the last fill provides context regarding how long the patient has been using the medication and can be crucial for determining refills and any potential issues with adherence.

Having this information also assists in verifying the prescription's validity and in assessing whether the medication is being used as intended. It ensures the pharmacist can monitor the patient’s therapy accurately and provides a historical reference that aids in the medication reconciliation process. This is particularly important for determining when the patient may need a new prescription, as it informs the pharmacist if the medication has been recently filled or is approaching refill time.

The inclusion of the original pharmacy's office location, transfer pharmacy's website, or the original prescription's color is not standard practice for recording during a prescription transfer. These pieces of information do not contribute directly to patient safety or medication management in the same way that the date of the last fill does.
