Until I got around to hooking up a network fax machine - I simply printed them to a printer, walked out with the pt. picked up the scrips and dropped them in the fax with programmed numbers for 5 of my most common pharmacies. You can even put a period and the name of the pharmacy they use as a med and it will print first (mult. scrips per page) to make it easier to remember. In my community the pharmacies have no issues with the e signatures - when it used to say just e signature they usually took it since I called each of them and told them, now they never push back (except rare mail order) with the scanned in signature on the default scrips.
I currently either print the Schedule II's on the printer or handwrite for medicaid - sign and copy. Our Board of Pharmacy advised me that they wanted a copy of the actual scrip with my signature on it if they came to audit scrips - they actually said that my scanned were okay, but the law is old and actually they want a carbon copy or photocopy (did not argue any further).
