Reviews of Policy & Procedure for Remote Medication Order Processing Services must be done ----------

• A. Monthly
• B. Quarterly
• C. Annually
• D. Biennially

Answer: (C)

Policies and procedures for remote medication order processing services are living documents that must be kept up to date as laws, technology, and workflows evolve. Reviewing them on an annual cycle ensures changes in regulations, privacy and security requirements, and safety practices are reflected, and that staff training stays aligned with current practices. While more frequent reviews (monthly or quarterly) can be useful for rapid changes, standard practice is to conduct a formal review once a year to maintain compliance and consistency without becoming unnecessarily burdensome. Biennial review risks outdated procedures, so annual review is the appropriate cadence.
