NACDS provided comments encouraging the Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) to include in their FY 2023-2027 strategic plan statute and rule changes to permanently codify the scope of practice expansion authorized under the PREP Act for all pharmacy personnel, and to further modernize scope of practice for Texas pharmacists to allow for practices now authorized in other states. We also urged the Board to modernize their in-person counseling rules to permanently allow the option of telephonic counseling that has allowed pharmacies to deploy innovative workflow models to meet increased patient demand for pharmacy services.
