Modifies provisions relating to pharmacy services in hospitals
This bill updates Missouri laws to clarify how pharmacy services are regulated within hospitals. It assigns rule-making authority for inpatient pharmacy services to the Department of Health and Senior Services, while the Board of Pharmacy retains control over inspecting and licensing hospital pharmacies. The legislation also requires pharmacists providing medication therapy services to obtain a specific certificate and establishes protocols for managing patient care plans. Additionally, it removes the need for a drug distributor license when moving medications between a hospital pharmacy and its affiliated clinics for patient treatment.
