Top Five Board Violations Noted
Following the Board directive to educate registrants on
continuing issues presented for disciplinary action, Executive
Director Reggie Dilliard reported the top five complaints brought
to the Board.
1. Patient counseling (prescription and pseudoephedrine)
2. Pharmacy technician registrations (expired or never
registered), affidavits, and technician registry documents
maintained by the PIC
3. Readily retrievable records (if the PIC is not available, the
pharmacist-on-duty should know where all documents,
including Drug Enforcement Administration biennial
inventory, invoices, technician registry, prescription
records, etc, are)
4. Pharmacists/manufacturers/wholesaler-distributors
unaware of requirements, including notification of
relocation, recognizing board authority, opening oxygen
locations without licensing, etc
5. Proper documentation of verbal orders (ie, they must be
recorded completely with the initials of the pharmacist
or certified pharmacy technician recorded per Board rule)
Fines and/or other discipline may increase if these issues
continue to escalate. The Board advises all registrants to take
note of these violations and correct these issues immediately to
avoid additional consequence
