Requires hospital pharmacists to obtain medication profiles for high-risk patients in hospitals with over 100 beds.
This bill amends the Occupations Code to mandate that hospital pharmacists obtain accurate medication profiles for high-risk patients admitted to hospitals with more than 100 beds. A pharmacist-intern or pharmacy technician may obtain these profiles if they meet specific training requirements set by board rules. The pharmacist-in-charge must develop and implement policies for obtaining these profiles, including timeframes. The board is tasked with adopting rules specifying the contents of a patient medication profile and the training requirements for pharmacist-interns.
