What is the responsibility of the pharmacist after a written protocol is terminated?

After a written protocol is terminated, the pharmacist has the responsibility to notify the board in writing within 30 days. This requirement ensures that the regulatory body is updated on changes in the practice protocols, helping to maintain transparency and accountability in pharmacy operations. The timely notification allows the board to keep accurate records regarding the practice activities of pharmacists and ensures compliance with state regulations.

Maintaining accurate and current knowledge about protocol status is crucial for the safety and effectiveness of care provided to patients. It also facilitates appropriate oversight and allows the board to intervene if necessary, should any issues arise from the termination of the protocol.

While other responsibilities, such as maintaining records or communication with the authorizing practitioner, may also be important, they do not take precedence over the legal obligation to inform the board of the termination.
