Delegates Approve Five Resolutions at the NABP 107th Annual Meeting
Delegates from the member boards of pharmacy adopted five resolutions during the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) 107th Annual Meeting, held May 21-24, 2011, in San Antonio, TX. The resolutions addressed the following:
- Establishing a task force to review the current use of technology systems in pharmacy practice and recommend revisions to the Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to accommodate advances in technology and promote standardization among state laws and regulations;
- Supporting the development and implementation of a centralized interconnect hub by NABP to facilitate interoperability and data sharing among state prescription monitoring programs;
- Establishing a task force to recommend revisions to the Model Act to address the responsibility of licensed pharmacies and pharmacists to maintain control over prescription medications and provide workable examples of controls and monitoring measures that can be used to prevent, detect, and investigate losses of prescription drugs;
- Encouraging efforts by the profession to study the primary health care activities in which pharmacists can be engaged and methods by which pharmacists could be incorporated into the medical home model, as well as working with relevant stakeholders to facilitate a broader understanding of the potential for pharmacists to engage in primary health care activities; and
- A recognition resolution honoring members of the Association who have passed away.
The complete text of the resolutions will be available in the Members section of the NABP Web site at the end of May 2011, and will also be published in the forthcoming Special Annual Meeting Issue of the NABP Newsletter.
