From information provided by Cindy Hamilton, D. Ph. Chief Compliance Officer for the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy, the Oklahoma Board of Pharmacy conducted 1173 inspections in 2011 and 1155 inspections in 2012. Oklahoma has 1142 pharmacies and 400 facilities located in the State of Oklahoma. These inspections include pharmacies and facilities (medical gas suppliers, wholesalers, manufacturers, etc.) The Oklahoma Pharmacy Board attempts to inspect each registrant once a year unannounced. However, for the past two years the Oklahoma Pharmacy Board has been short a compliance officer. The board does not keep individual statistics on the number of compounding pharmacies inspected.
