Recordkeeping


Maintaining Complete and Accurate Records

DEA regulation and policy require that NTPs provide complete and accurate records. In an effort to assist programs in their attempt to comply with these requirements, DEA strongly recommends that the following strategies be adopted:

  • Ensure that employees understand how to operate relevant equipment, including computers;
     
  • Maintain appropriate back-ups for computer and other recordkeeping systems; and
     
  • Establish appropriate shut-down procedures to be used both at the time of dispenser shift changes and at the end of the work day.

DEA is aware that in dealing with liquid controlled substance medications, absolute accountability is not always attainable. An NTP's overall processes, procedures, and results will be taken into account in the evaluation of the outcomes of an investigation.
