Study Notes
Pharmacy Practice Overview
- Pharmacy practice involves administering, preparing, compounding, preserving, and dispensing drugs and therapeutic devices based on prescriptions or legal authority.
- Licensed pharmacists can execute non-patient-specific regimens prescribed by licensed physicians or certified nurse practitioners.
Immunization Administration
- Pharmacists must report immunization administration electronically to the patient's primary healthcare practitioner and necessary immunization registries.
- Patients must receive information on the importance of having a primary health care practitioner.
- A total cost disclosure for the immunization is required before administration, considering health insurance subsidies.
- Immunizations must follow the latest recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
- Training is mandatory for pharmacists administering injectable medications for mental health and substance use disorders.
Privacy and Education
- A designated area in the pharmacy must be provided for immunizations to ensure patient privacy.
- The area should display the current "Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule" and educational materials on influenza vaccinations for children.
Emergency and Non-Patient Specific Orders
- Pharmacists can dispense a seven-day starter pack of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis medications based on a non-patient-specific order.
- Pharmacists can administer insulin for individuals with expired prescriptions under emergency protocols.
- Emergency dispensing requires attempted authorization from the prescriber, compliance with prescription directions, and notification to the prescriber within 72 hours.
Testing and Laboratory Services
- Licensed pharmacists qualify as healthcare professionals to direct limited service laboratories and administer COVID-19 and influenza tests, following FDA authorization and compliance with clinical laboratory regulations.
Self-Administered Hormonal Contraceptives
- Pharmacists may dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives based on non-patient-specific orders issued by health authorities or licensed practitioners.
- A self-screening risk assessment questionnaire must be reviewed with each patient, at least every twelve months, to identify risk factors.
- Patients receive fact sheets outlining usage recommendations, follow-up healthcare importance, and opt-out options for reporting.
Notification and Patient Consultation
- Pharmacists need to inform the patient's primary healthcare practitioner of dispensed self-administered hormonal contraceptives within 72 hours, unless the patient opts out.
- If a patient lacks a primary healthcare practitioner, pharmacists provide a written record of the contraceptives handed out and advise consulting a healthcare provider.
Refusal of Dispensing
- Pharmacists can refuse to dispense non-patient-specific hormonal contraceptives based on professional judgment regarding potential adverse effects or health risks to the patient.
