Demanding identification from every individual who presents a controlled substance prescription

Rationale: The simplest prevention technique to greatly reduce controlled substance prescription fraud in pharmacies is to know prescribers and their signatures. It is more difficult to know all of the patients who might visit the pharmacy, to demand identification from everyone presenting prescriptions for controlled substances, and to be familiar with the DEA registration numbers of a large amount of prescribers.
