The Prescription Monitoring Program’s Interagency Advisory Committee Group will meet on Tuesday, October 15 to discuss implementing certain requirements in several new laws, including setting standards for waivers from the electronic prescription requirements in HB 2174.
Also in Texas… In response to a request from the State Board of Pharmacy, NACDS submitted comments identifying issues that the Board should address as it works to develop its Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021 through 2025. Among these issues, NACDS urged the Board to implement policy changes that expand the scope of services that pharmacists can provide to Texans, optimize the use of pharmacy technicians, enable pharmacies to utilize new technologies and implement innovate practices to better serve their patients and to address other burdensome provisions in the existing rules and regulations.
