5 Schedule III V Controlled Substance Rxs from APRNs and PAs Schedule III V Rxs from APRNs and PAs (cont.) At their December meeting, the Texas Medical Board reviewed Section (b)(2) of the Medical Practices Act that reads: the prescription, including a refill of the prescription, is for a period not to exceed 90 days. TMB has determined that this section means that an APRN or PA may issue prescriptions for a total of 90-days supply of a controlled substance including refills. TMB stated that the intent of the section is to allow 90-days supply and not to limit the patient to one refill. This means the APRN or PA could issue a prescription with more than one refill provided the total quantity does not exceed more than a 90- day supply Schedule III V Rxs from APRNs and PAs (cont.) Sterile Compounding Further discussions with staff of the Medical Board have also resulted in the interpretation that essentially a controlled substance prescription issued by an APRN or PA, expires 90-days after issuance Fungal Meningitis Outbreak After NECC Job #1. New England Compounding Center (NECC) in Framingham, MA As of October 23, states had reported cases. 751 cases of fungal infections. 64 deaths. Identify pharmacies that compound sterile products.

9 Task Force on Pharmacy Technicians (cont.) The Task Force met on: January 14, 2014; and March 19, The Recommendations of the Task Force will be presented to the Board at their May 6, 2014 meeting. Recommendations The Board should continue requiring pharmacy technicians to take and pass one national certification examination. The Board should allow a Technician Trainee to renew their registration once so that their total time as a Technician Trainee will be 4-years rather than the current 2-years The Board should review the definition of the definition of a pharmacy technician to better define what non-judgmental duties are and seek legislation to amend this definition in the Pharmacy Act. The Board shall establish a training program that the technician must complete prior to completing expanded duties. A technician may perform expanded duties provided the: technician completes Board established on-the-job training; training is documented by the PIC; and pharmacist on duty allows the technician to perform the expanded duties while that pharmacist is working The Board should allow training exemptions from required training for expanded duties for technicians in rural areas. The Board should establish a method to grandfather currently registered technicians from the requirement to have completed an ASHP accredited technician education program after 2020 when PTCB will require completion of this program prior to taking the PTCB exam. The Board should amend rules or seek legislation if necessary to expand the duties of technicians to include: Expanding Tech Check Tech in hospital pharmacies and allowing Tech Check Tech in community pharmacies for such duties as: Stocking medication carts; Checking the prepacking of drugs; and Stocking automated dispensing systems
10 Expand the duties of technicians to include: Allowing technicians to: transfer refill prescriptions for dangerous drugs. data enter prescriptions in an area other than the prescription department prior to the opening of the pharmacy). perform a final check on a refilled prescription (Note: DUR by pharmacist will still be required).
