Tucker (TN) Introduction: The Task Force on Automation met January 3, 1997, at NABP headquarters in Park Ridge, Illinois. The Task Force on Automation TFA) was established by the NABP Executive Committee in response to Recommendation #7 of the Committee on Law Enforcement/legislation, which read: The Committee on Law Enforcement/Legislation recommends that the Executive Committee appoint a Task Force to prepare model regulations addressing automated pharmacy systems. Review of the Task Force Charge: Task Force members reviewed their charge, proposing no changes, it remained as follows: 1. Investigate the subject of automation in pharmacy; and 2. Draft enabling, not restrictive, language addressing automation in pharmacy for incorporation into the NABP Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules, and to do so with appropriate input from interested pharmacy organizations. TFA Recommendation #1 The Task Force on Automation recommends to the Committee on Law Enforcement/Legislation (Committee that the following language be adopted for incorporation into the NABP Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules (Model Act). Article I Title, Purpose, and Definitions Section 105. Definitions. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF PHARMACY (P) 847/ (F) 847/

3 by a pharmacist in accordance with established policies and procedures and good pharmacy practice. (3) All policies and procedures must be maintained in the pharmacy responsible for the system and, if the system is not located within the facility where the pharmacy is located, at the location where the system is being used. (4) Automated Pharmacy Systems shall have adequate security systems and procedures, evidenced by written policies and procedures, to: (a) prevent unauthorized access and to comply with federal and state reulations; and (b) maintain patient confidentiality. (5) Records and/or electronic data kept by Automated Pharmacy Systems shall meet the following requirements.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF PHARMACY (P) 847/ (F) 847/
4 [NOTE: The above new Section 3L would be inserted in Section 3 with sequential relettering of all subsequent sections.] Comments Section 3L(2). Each state should determine whether or not the dispensing of a first dose or an emergency dose may take place without prior order review by a pharmacist but with appropriate security and patient medication management controls in place. Section 3L(3). The use of Automated Pharmacy Systems requires written policies and procedures in place prior to installation to ensure safety, accuracy, security, and patient confidentiality and to define access and limits to access to equipment and medications. Section 3L(6). This section anticipates that decisions regarding which health care professionals may access the Automated Pharmacy System and the level of access allowed (e.g., access to medications, access to patient profiles for viewing only, access to patient profiles for modification) will be left up to the individual(s) responsible for the Automated Pharmacy System; however, states may decide to take on this responsibility and define those who may have access to the system and the levels of access allowed. Section 3L(9). This section anticipates that states will allow non-pharmacist personnel to fill/stock Automated Pharmacy Systems under a pharmacist s supervision; however, the state may decide to only allow a pharmacist to perform this function. Should the state allow non-pharmacist personnel to perform this function, it should define the level of pharmacist supervision necessary e.g., immediate, direct, general). Additionally, each state should decide whether the person checking the accuracy of the work of the person who is filling/stocking must be a pharmacist. Section 3L(12). The state may require that each licensed pharmacy or facility have in place written policies and procedures to address situations in which medications removed form the system remain unused and must be secured and accounted for. Section 3L(13). The state may require that each licensed pharmacy or facility have in place written policies and procedures to address situation in which medications removed from the system are wasted and must be secured and accounted for. Background: Task Force members discussed Automated Pharmacy Systems and expressed concern that many systems have already been placed into use without board involvement. It was agreed that there was a need for boards to regulate such system implementation and usage. Task Force members further agreed that model regulations addressing this subject should be developed and that these model regulations must affect outcomes, not processes, while being flexible enough to adapt to future technologies. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF PHARMACY (P) 847/ (F) 847/
5 For assistance in the development of such regulations, the Task Force reviewed model language addressing Automated Pharmacy Systems prepared by the Automation in Pharmacy Initiative (API), a coalition of national pharmacy associations, representatives from the automation industry, and pharmacy practitioners, established to identify and address regulatory and legislative issues surrounding automation in pharmacy across all practice sites. Task force members noted that API coalition participants drafted the model language following a year-long review that included an overview of current and proposed regulations concerning automation in pharmacy, the identification of areas of particular concern to boards of pharmacy, and considerable input from a wide spectrum of pharmacy organizations, including the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, the American Pharmaceutical Association, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, the National Community Pharmacists Association, and the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association. Finding the model language drafted by API to be well-organized and thorough, the Task Force agreed to utilize it as a basis for the development of model language to be incorporated into the NABP Model Act. The Task Force insisted, however, that the following principles be observed: model regulations must be worded in such a manner so as to be flexible enough for boards to adapt to their own needs; such regulations must not conflict with or duplicate regulations already found within the Model Act; and the language must not be limiting in scope. Task Force members also insisted that the regulations include certain concepts; for example, that much of the documentation for Automated Pharmacy Systems be kept on-site and not be submitted to the board, that control of the system remain with the pharmacy department and/or the pharmacist-in-charge, and that electronic storage of documentation, data, and records be allowed rather than requiring paper copies of all records. Finally, the Task Force reviewed the following subjects and agreed that specific model language was sufficient or because those subject areas would be more appropriately addressed within individual pharmacy or facility policies and procedures. Inventory/Inspection Floor Stock Malfunction Storage Conditions Drug Recalls Electronic Transmission of Data TFA Recommendation #2 The Task Force on Automation recommends the following Sample Pharmacy Automation Policy and Procedure Outline be incorporated into the Model Act (perhaps within an appropriate Comments section) to assist the reader in the development of pharmacy automation policy and procedures.

System Set-up Background: The Task Force members agreed this sample Pharmacy Automation Policy and Procedure Outline would be helpful for board members, compliance officers, and practitioners who are not familiar with the issues surrounding Automated Pharmacy Systems, and for those persons in the process of implementing such systems within their practice. TFA Recommendation #3 The Task Force on Automation recommends the NABP Executive Committee work with the appropriate federal agencies and officials to remove statutory and regulatory language that requires paper-based recordkeeping for the drug dispensing process. Once such language has been removed at the federal level, the Task Force recommends that NABP encourage the boards of pharmacy to enable electronic recordkeeping procedures in their state practice acts. Background: Several Task Force members expressed concern about the increased documentation, data, and record maintenance being required of pharmacy practitioners obey federal and sate authorities, and the fact that many regulations require paper-based maintenance of such records. Recognizing that paper-based recordkeeping is space-consuming, resource-depleting, and expensive, members questioned the need for such requirements. They noted that current technology allows for accurate and easily accessible storage of such items in an electronic form. The Task Force agreed to encourage federal and state officials to end requirements for paper-based recordkeeping and to allow the use of electronic data storage.
