The purpose of these rules is to provide for the use of a
Certified Oregon Pharmacy Technician functioning outside of a pharmacy to
prepare drugs only for administration to a patient by another healthcare
provider, and where requisite pharmacist supervision and verification is
provided remotely by an Oregon licensed pharmacist via an audiovisual
communication system.
(1) A pharmacy
physically located in Oregon may make written application to operate a
RDF.
(2) The board may approve an
application for registration as a RDF which includes the following:
(a) An operation plan;
(b) Policies and Procedures;
(c) A training plan;
(d) A quality assurance plan for ensuring
that there is a planned and systematic process for the monitoring and
evaluation of the quality and appropriateness of pharmacy services and for
identifying and resolving problems; and
(e) The fee specified in Division
110.
(3) Notwithstanding
the definition of "supervision by a pharmacist" in Division 006, supervision in
a RDF may be accomplished by a pharmacist via an audiovisual communication
system from the applying pharmacy.
(4) Notwithstanding rules in this Division
and in Divisions 115 and 125, a Certified Oregon Pharmacy Technician who works
in a RDF may have access to the facility without the physical presence of a
pharmacist, but may only perform Board approved functions when under the
supervision of a pharmacist.
