Answer to Question 1

A
E-sign effectively voids requirements that prescriptions be written on paper or printed as a hard copy. Some scheduled drugs still require written copies. Faxed copies of this drug would be allowed but are not necessary for the pharmacist to fill the prescription. The patient's electronic medical record stands as evidence of the need for a prescription of a drug but is not needed for the pharmacist to fill the prescription.

Answer to Question 2

A
Effective communication extends beyond just the patient-provider relationship. It is important to include anyone involved in the patient's care. The best way in this case is to include the information on the E-script so that there is a record of the off-label use and to help clarify or reinforce the provider's instructions.
