First Trusted Rx is a prescription drug verification system designed to combat prescription fraud and ensure patient safety. It uses a secure, multi-layered approach to validate prescriptions in real-time, reducing the risk of dispensing counterfeit or altered medications.
The system works by integrating with pharmacies’ existing workflows. Pharmacists receive an electronic prescription. First Trusted Rx then verifies the prescription details against multiple databases, including the prescriber’s license, the patient’s identification, and the prescription drug database. This process involves several checks for authenticity and inconsistencies.
Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process:
| 1 | Pharmacist receives electronic prescription. |
| 2 | System automatically verifies prescriber’s license and credentials. |
| 3 | System checks for prescription validity against the relevant database(s). |
| 4 | System verifies patient’s identity using various authentication methods. |
| 5 | System flags potential inconsistencies or red flags, such as unusual prescribing patterns. |
| 6 | Pharmacist receives a clear indication of whether the prescription is valid. |
This automated verification significantly speeds up the dispensing process while enhancing security. Immediate alerts regarding potentially fraudulent prescriptions help prevent dangerous medications from reaching patients. The system provides detailed audit trails for compliance and investigation purposes. Regular updates ensure it adapts to evolving threats and regulations.
