When does a long term care pharmacy have to be involved in performing and documenting the quality assurance activities?
If they are: 1) the primary provider for the long term care facility or 2) the contracted pharmacist consultant for the long term care facility or community based care facility or 3) they are accepting medication back for redispensing or 4) they are supplying an emergency drug kit to the long term care or community based care facility, they must comply with these rules. If they are a secondary provider for a long term care facility, they must confirm that the primary provider or consultant is doing these things for them and their patients or the secondary provider must do this for their own patients.
