PEER conducted a follow-up of its February 3, 1992, review of the State Board of Pharmacy and determined that the board has made significant progress in correcting deficiencies cited in the initial report.
The Board of Pharmacy has established a uniform penalty policy and a functioning Investigative Review Committee to hear reports on ongoing and potential investigations, as required by Senate Bill 2335 (1992 session). The board has improved its internal custody, control, and reporting procedures for the staff’s destruction of excess or unwanted controlled substances sent in by registrants. In an effort to improve the effectiveness of its compliance agents, the Board of Pharmacy has compiled a “how-to” inspection/investigative manual and provided basic firearms training.
