Upcoming meetings...
At the business meeting on September 23, 2022, the Pharmacy Quality Assurance Commission (commission) decided to extend its enforcement discretion regarding USP 800 until it is officially withdrawn during an open public meeting. The commission’s previous policy on the enforcement of USP 800 was set to expire on September 30, 2022, but will be updated to reflect the new position. When available, the updated policy will be posted here.
Also at the September 23 business meeting, the commission approved the guidance document, Pharmacy Lockers for Filled Prescription Pick-up, to assist licensees and stakeholders in understanding the commission’s interpretation of its laws and rules to permit pharmacies to use pharmacy-owned lockers to deliver filled prescriptions for non-controlled drugs. The document will also be available soon on the Pharmacy Commission’s webpage.

All surveys must be completed and submitted no later than Sunday, October 16, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Please address any inquiries or comments to Joshua Munroe, Rules and Legislative Consultant, at PharmacyRules@doh.wa.gov.
