executed by a pharmacist. The Prescriber Care Plan shall be written by a
physician or physician assistant licensed pursuant to Chapter 458 or 459, F.S.,
a podiatric physician licensed under Chapter 461, F.S., or a dentist licensed
under Chapter 466, F.S., or similar statutory provision in another
jurisdiction, and may be transmitted by any means of communication. The

shall order laboratory tests, interpret laboratory values ordered for a
patient, execute drug therapy orders for a patient, and notify the
prescriber.
(2) "Drug Therapy
Management" means any act or service by a pharmacist in compliance with orders
in a Prescriber Care Plan.
(3) A
pharmacist may provide Drug Therapy Management services for a patient,
incidental to the dispensing of medicinal drugs or as a part of consulting
concerning therapeutic values of medicinal drugs or as part of managing and
monitoring the patient's drug therapy. A pharmacist who provides Drug Therapy
Management services for a patient shall comply with orders in a Prescriber Care
Plan, insofar as they specify:
(a) Drug
therapy to be initially dispensed to the patient by the pharmacist,
or

section noted as "orders" from a duly licensed prescriber for each patient for
whom a pharmacist provides Drug Therapy Management services,
2. Progress notes; and,
