After first saying the Ohio Board of Pharmacy didn’t have the authority to impose sweeping new regulations, pharmacy giant CVS now says it’s OK with much of what the agency wants to do.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Inspectors also found that the remaining workers were so harried that they didn’t have time to keep proper track of dangerous drugs — including opioids — or to remove expired or adulterated drugs from the shelves. In addition, they found several instances in which CVS medication labels gave patients the wrong instructions and one instance in which a patient was harmed by being given the wrong drug.
CVS didn’t respond when asked about the employees’ contention that regional and district managers receive bonuses that are partly based on controlling costs — including payroll. Last November — when a subset of the rule changes were proposed and before the CVS citations were publicized — CVS said that the state’s pharmacy regulator didn’t have the legal authority to prohibit quotas for ancillary services such as vaccines.
“… the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has standing to regulate the practice of pharmacy through an authorized business entity ,” wrote the group’s executive director, David Burke. “Specifically, Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs License holders are required to utilize the services of a pharmacist, and provide the ability of the pharmacist to practice in a safe and effective manner. Within this framework, the pharmacist is required to be in full and actual charge of the pharmacy.
“Our pharmacists are worried that they’re going to get caught up equally when they’re not the problem here,” he said.
