Georgia Board of Pharmacy revises policy on Schedule II prescription forms
The Georgia Board of Pharmacy (GBP) has revised its policy on Schedule II prescription form requirements, which are scheduled to go into effect on October 1. Under the revised ruling, prescribers and pharmacists will be allowed to write and fill Schedule II prescriptions on the existing forms through the end of the calendar year if the prescriber notes that an emergency exists in the prescription. GBP is stressing that all Schedule II prescriptions issued after September 30 must contain this statement.
This new legislation is sneaking up on physicians in Georgia and we're surprised to find out that this has flown under the radar for months! No worries though, as we have been in constant touch with our manufacturer (the FIRST manufacturer approved, and the only one in attendance at the hearing) and they are ready to go into production on Monday, September 26, 2011. Pricing is still in a state of flux since their are still some questions about the sequential numbering requirement.

QR Codes
Marketing in the 21st century is all about being ahead of the curve. One of the newest marketing trends is QR barcodes. "QR Codes" stands for Quick Response Codes, but really this square box of funny looking images stands for a whole lot more. It can be a direct link to a webpage, a text message, a video, or contact information on a business card. One of the most convenient features about QR codes is that the information behind the code can be changed at any point, whether it points to a different body of information, or a change of information within the body. This allows you to use a printed piece of marketing material for various reasons.
How do you use QR codes?
Most smartphones with a built-in camera can decode QR Codes. By downloading FREE software "apps", you can scan a QR code, which will point you to a webpage, text message, YouTube video, or even put contact information directly into your phones address book. The scanning of the code takes the person using it directly to the desired destination without having to type or search for a link.
