Several years ago, the Board of Pharmacy conducted the Nevada Pharmacist Workplace and Patient Safety Survey. As a result, a proposed rule dictating staffing will be debated and possibly adopted at the June 4 Board meeting. The purpose of the proposed regulation is to set minimum staffing standards in certain chain pharmacies so that patient care and safety are prioritized in the process of meeting pharmacy workloads. Members are encouraged to submit their comments to the Nevada Board of Pharmacy at teambc@pharmacy.nv.gov before the meeting.
