I just learned from a Friend in Florida that a “remote pharmacy bills “ that are moving forward. If they pass, pharmacist won't be needed in about 60% pharmacies or maybe more... Remote is technician in a place and pharmacist supervising offsite. Not sure about controlled substances, may be not for C2s.......Oh well

Hawaii has a provision like that for mega rural areas where there would be no pharmacy access without it. It’s basically a technician and a Pyxis/omnicell who can grab drugs released by the remote pharmacist. Hopefully FL will restrict this similarly.

They were pushing for this in California too. I'm thinking it benefits chain pharmacies and introduces unwanted competition for independents in small towns.

What about 1st fill counseling if no rph on site? I guess that can be done via phone.

This would be great for independent pharmacies in Texas. Patients already hate dealing with their chain pharmacist and now they great replaced with a tv screen talking to you. What was that? The connection is cracking. Hello?! Can you hear me?!

The law about it is here: 461-10.5 http://files.hawaii.gov/dcca/pvl/pvl/hrs/hrs_pvl_461.pdf

But it was amended to include the provision that no more could be opened, and the two in existence at the time could remain. I don’t know if they still operate, but if they do, at least one is probably on the island that non-natives aren’t allowed on.

I can just see such sites being vandalized and even hacked.

I'll apprehensive of anything that allows you to remove a pharmacist from the pharmacy.

You can blame chain pharmacists who are helping to destroy the profession along with PBMs.

It would give me enough time to complete the three $12 MTM cases that I've got in my queue. That's enough money to feed a family in Angola for a week!

What's frightening is the amount of pharmacists that actually believe this. I just don't understand how someone can be so naive. The moment your employer doesn't HAVE to pay you, guess who is getting cut?
