The American Society for Automation in Pharmacy (ASAP) has announced two new standards that complement its prescription-monitoring program (PMP) standard. One standard addresses the error reports that pharmacies receive when there is invalid or missing information for prescription records transmitted to a PMP. This error report standard uses a data structure and a minimum data set to allow pharmacies to quickly identify the prescription records and the specific data elements within that need to be corrected. Standardizing this process should improve compliance in correcting and resending the information.
The other is a zero report standard to inform a PMP electronically that no reportable controlled substances were dispensed during the reporting period. Both standards are available at asapnet.org.
