A.If a pharmacy permittee contracts to
provide pharmacy services to the patients of a hospice inpatient facility as
defined in
R4-23-110, the
pharmacy permittee shall ensure that:
1. A
prescription medication is provided only by a valid prescription order for an
individual hospice inpatient facility patient, properly labeled for that
patient, as specified in this subsection. Nothing in this section shall prevent
a provider pharmacy from supplying non-prescription drugs in a manufacturer's
unopened container;
2. A
prescription medication label for a hospice inpatient facility patient complies
with A.R.S. §§
32-1968
and
36-2525
and contains:
a. The drug name, strength,
dosage form, and quantity; and
b.
The beyond-use date; and
3. If the label on the hospice inpatient
facility patient's drug container becomes damaged or soiled, a pharmacist
employed by the pharmacy that dispensed the drug container, through the
exercise of professional judgment, may relabel the drug container. Only a
pharmacist is permitted to label a drug container or alter the label of a drug
container.
B.A
pharmacist may help hospice inpatient facility personnel develop written
policies and procedures for the procurement, administration, storage, control,
recordkeeping, and disposal of drugs in the facility.
C.The provider pharmacy may contract with the
hospice inpatient facility to provide pharmacist services at the facility that
include evaluation of the patient's response to medication therapy,
identification of potential adverse drug reactions, and recommended appropriate
corrective action.
D.A provider
pharmacy that places an emergency drug supply unit at a hospice inpatient
facility shall comply with the requirements of

dispensing system as defined in
