Do pharmacies link prescription information with personally identifiable information?
Federal and state laws for medical and public health reasons require pharmacies to keep records of what prescription drugs they dispense including the name of the patient for whom the drug is prescribed. This linking of prescription information with personally identifiable information takes place now without using EPC tags. The addition of EPC tags to pharmaceutical packaging or labeling will not change this record keeping requirement.
