I understand that the signature of the individual administering a controlled substance to a patient must be documented in the permanent controlled substance record that is maintained by the pharmacy. The AcuDose-Rx system maintains the permanent records therefore the person removing the medication from the cabinet must be the one administering the medication unless additional paperwork is used in conjunction with the electronic documentation.

I understand that my user ID and password are my LEGAL electronic signature and will be used to track all of my transactions on the system and will be permanently attached to those transactions with the time stamp and date. These records will be routinely audited against patients’ chart records by the pharmacy to assure proper usage. The records will be maintained and archived as per SDMC policies and will be available for inspection by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Texas State Board of Pharmacy.

I am responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of my user ID and password and will be held accountable for ALL transactions performed with this User ID. Unauthorized use of another user’s password will lead to corrective action up to and including discharge.
