What should be recorded on the face of an invalidated prescription during a transfer?

When a prescription is invalidated during a transfer, it is essential to document the transaction accurately to ensure transparency and maintain accurate records. The term "transferred" is used to indicate that the prescription has moved from one pharmacy to another, effectively communicating that the original prescription is no longer active at the initial location. This helps in tracking the prescription's flow and supporting the continuity of care for the patient.

Using the term "canceled" would imply that the prescription is no longer valid for any reason, which does not accurately represent the situation where the prescription is being transferred for fulfillment. Similarly, the term "completed" could suggest that the prescription has been filled, which does not apply in the context of an invalidation during a transfer. The word "issued" could create confusion regarding the status of the prescription, as it relates more to the initial provision of the prescription rather than its transfer. Therefore, marking the prescription with "transferred" clearly conveys its status and complies with the regulations related to prescription transfers.
