§ 1-1918.1. Dispensation of certain drugs in bubble pack units--Pilot program
A. The purpose of this section is to reduce expensive and unnecessary wastage of excess drugs dispensed to residents of nursing homes. In order to determine if the use of bubble pack units and the return and reissuance of unadulterated drugs is cost-effective and administratively efficient there is hereby established a pilot program for dispensing and returning anti-ulcer and antiarthritics in bubble pack units. The pilot program shall terminate January 1, 1998.
C. Any prescription for anti-ulcer and antiarthritics dispensed by a pharmacist in bubble pack units for a resident of a nursing home that is unused and is unadulterated may be returned for credit to the issuing pharmacy. Such medication may be dispensed by the pharmacist to other nursing home patients. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority in concert with the State Board of Pharmacy shall promulgate permanent rules that will provide for the implementation of this subsection. The permanent rules shall be promulgated by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act.1
D. The Oklahoma State Board of Health in concert with the State Board of Pharmacy shall promulgate rules to ensure the integrity of the collection of unadulterated anti-ulcer and antiarthritics within nursing facilities. The rules shall provide for a drug manifest form that shall accompany each shipment of unadulterated anti-ulcer and antiarthritics in bubble pack units from the nursing facility to the dispensing pharmacy.
