The Connecting to Care Act allows pharmacists to administer certain medications under specific conditions.
The Connecting to Care Act amends Florida statutes to allow pharmacists to administer long-acting antipsychotic medications or medications for the treatment of opiate addiction by injection under certain conditions. This includes being authorized by an established protocol with a prescribing physician, practicing at a facility that accommodates privacy for nondeltoid injections, and completing an 8-hour continuing education course. The act also requires each licensed service provider that provides medication-assisted treatment to adopt written protocols as specified by the department.
