How many new prescriptions can a pharmacist at a remote pharmacy supervise on a peak day?

In Vermont, the regulations governing the supervision of remote pharmacies specify that a pharmacist can supervise a maximum of 150 new prescriptions on a peak day. This limit is established to ensure that pharmacists can maintain a high level of patient care and safety. Supervision includes the review and verification of prescriptions, consulting with patients, and overseeing the pharmacy's operations. The cap on new prescriptions helps balance the operational demands of a pharmacy with the necessity for thorough scrutiny of each prescription processed. Exceeding this limit may compromise the pharmacist's ability to ensure accuracy and patient safety, which is a core responsibility in pharmaceutical care.
