Answer: Administrator. The pharmacist shall notify the ADMINISTRATOR if the prescribing practitioner fails to deliver a written prescription to the pharmacy within the allotted time, [Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 329 Section 329-38(a)(1)(C)].
Failure of the pharmacist to do so shall void the authority conferred by this paragraph to dispense without a written prescription of a prescribing individual practitioner.
Any practitioner who fails to deliver a written prescription within the SEVEN-DAY period shall be in violation of this section.
