Pharmacists have a “corresponding responsibility” to ensure that controlled substance prescriptions they fill are issued for legitimate medical purposes.  Many, however, aren’t fully confident in having conversations with patients to ensure they get the help they need.  Attend this session to hear strategies and best practices for communication to fulfill your corresponding responsibility, but more importantly keep people safe.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Recall prescribing red flags and the pharmacist's corresponding responsibility to resolve such red flags. 
  • Discuss ways to efficiently recognize and address red flags in pharmacy practice. 
  • Select stigma free communication strategies to use when a patient with red flags is identified. 
  • Explain best practices for documentation related to the pharmacist’s corresponding responsibility.
