    64B16-28.141Requirements for an Automated Pharmacy System in a Community Pharmacy

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 26, 2018, the Board of Pharmacy, received a petition for variance or waiver filed by Orlando Health Inc. d/b/a Scripts Pharmacy, seeking a waiver of the requirement of subsection 64B16-28.141(1), F.A.C, which defines an “Automated pharmacy system” as a mechanical system, located within or adjacent to the prescription department, that performs operations or activities, other than compounding or administration, relative to storage, packaging, dispensing, or distribution of medication, and which collects, controls, and maintains all transaction information. Petitioner is also seeking a waiver of the requirement of paragraph 64B16-28.100(1)(a), F.A.C, which states that a permit is valid only for the name and address to which it is issued. The name in which the permit is issued must be the name in which the company is doing business, i.e., the name that appears on purchase and sales invoices. A permit shall be issued only to a single entity at a single location. The service provided by the permit shall be consistent with the issued permit. A single location shall be defined as a contiguous area under the control of the permit holder. For purposes of this rule, a public thoroughfare will be considered to have not broken the area of contiguity; and an area not more than one half (1/2) mile from the central location of the permit.

    A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: C. Erica White, Executive Director, Board of Pharmacy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C04, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3254 or at info@Floridaspharmacy.gov.
