For Prescription Medications MedTrak includes two questions about samples: 1. How many samples did the physician dispense? 2. What is the lot number of the sample medication? If there was a recall on the sample medication given to the
patient the facility could run a report and see which patients received that lot number of the sample and notify the patients about the recall
