There must be a continuously accessible, two-way audiovisual link between the central pharmacy and the remote pharmacy. The transmission of information through the computer link must make information available to the central pharmacy and the remote pharmacy simultaneously. The video camera used for the certification of prescriptions must be of sufficient quality and resolution so that the certifying pharmacist can visually identify the markings on tablets and capsules. A second camera is required to meet security needs if the camera used to certify prescriptions is not able to monitor activities in other parts of the remote site.
