Motions for Contested Cases & Disciplinary Action – see the end of this document

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION Rules Review Rulemaking Hearing Report and Comments Rachel Melvin, Rules Coordinator and Hearings Officer provided an overview of the Hearing report.

• 35- 40 people attended, 26 signed in • 1 person spoke who hadn’t sent in written testimony • 8 people spoke and submitted written testimony • 26 people total submitted written comments • Compounding - most comments centered around costs, accreditation, suggested

language revisions for the Board to consider and general questions • Prescribing – all comments received support the purposed language with one

suggestion proposed.

MOTION Motion to accept the 9/24/19 Rulemaking Hearing Report was made and unanimously carried (Motion by DeBarmore, seconded by Armstrong).

Consider Adoption of Rules Division 006 & 045 Drug Compounding & Definitions Fiona Karbowicz reviewed the current proposed language and stated that there are policy items and language revisions due to the number of comments received from the Rulemaking Hearing in the areas of accreditation, as well as USP’s recent announcement that due to appeals they are delaying their 12/1/19 implementation date. Some of the written comments received asked several questions for which there are no specific answers; she suggested FAQs could reconcile the inquiries during the interim until USP provides solid guidance via standards in the future. The Board reviewed the proposed edits in the Registration section and recommended dropping the requirement for outside accreditation at this time. Concerns still exist related to overall patient safety. The Board noted that more insurance companies and payers are requiring accreditation, and outlets and licensees should be ready and know what to expect and they still have to follow the chapters regardless if additional accreditation requirements are in the rules. From the testimony received, patient access is a concern. These proposed rules do not explicitly address USP’s current stance on outpatient medication flavoring. Joe Schnabel stated that he just returned from NABP Executive Directors meeting with multiple state boards and stated that the general conclusion from his other state colleagues will not be requiring accreditation and are using the critical point training for their inspectors similar to what our state is doing. The Board had a brief discussion, including inspectors’ qualifications and awaiting final USP standards. The Board proceeded to review, discussing edits to the rule language in various

sections of the rules; policy items identified to revisit include compounding for veterinary office use, non-patient specific compounded drug distribution, and the definition of compounding.

MOTION Motion to send Compounding rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 006 and 045 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Murray).

Division 019 and 020 – Prescribing Practices and Formulary Fiona Karbowicz reviewed the current proposed language; the Board had a few comments about the “face to face” language and reaffirmed the requirement for the pharmacist to provide a face-to-face patient assessment. They agreed to adopt rule as proposed.

MOTION Motion to adopt amended rules in OAR Chapter 855, Division 019 and 020 was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Armstrong, seconded by Ayoub).

Consider Adoption of Temporary Rules – none

Consider sending rules to Rulemaking Hearing Division 010 – Military Spouse/Domestic Partner Temporary Authorization SB 688/HB 3030 Licensing Manager Chrisy Hennigan reviewed the proposed language for this new rule initiated by Senate Bill 688 and House Bill 3030 that establish a temporary authorization for Military Spouse/Domestic Partner.

Individuals under these circumstances are directed to contact the office for additional information so that they can make an informed licensing decision. The requirements of a background check, the MPJE and required documentation for licensure are not changed by these rules. If a temporary authorization is obtained, license expiration dates are dependent on the date of licensure; when the military duty is completed in Oregon or; the date the person’s authorization issued by another state expires and are nonrenewable. Licensure via reciprocity would not have the date restrictions of a temporary authorization and is renewable. MOTION Motion to send Military Spouse/Domestic Partner Temporary Authorization rule in OAR 855 Division 010 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by DeBarmore, seconded by Armstrong). For clarification, one minor edit was identified for grammar a correction and the Board re-motioned to make the record accurate. MOTION Motion to send Military Spouse/Domestic Partner Temporary Authorization rule in OAR 855 Division 010 as revised to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by DeBarmore, seconded by Armstrong).

Division 019 & 041 – Naloxone SB 910 Fiona Karbowicz reviewed the proposed rule and suggested edits to meet new statutory requirements that pharmacists may offer naloxone to a patient when filling an opioid prescription for greater than an opiate in excess of a morphine milligram equivalent (MME) per day dosage, established by Board rule. The Board determined that 50MME corresponds to standard guidelines. These proposed language edits also incorporate the requirement for outlets to provide written notice of naloxone availability in a pharmacy that provides naloxone services. She stated that the intent of this statute is to increase the patient’s access to naloxone and the outlet’s flexibility on how to implement.

MOTION Motion to send Naloxone policy rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 019 and 041 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Murray). The Board discussed the provision of naloxone services at a pharmacy is voluntary. The Board reviewed the statutory language and made a revision to the proposed rule language. MOTION Motion to send as revised Naloxone policy rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 019 and 041 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by DeBarmore, seconded by Murray).

Division 019 - Contraception prescribing (age 18 law sunset) ORS 689.689 Fiona Karbowicz reviewed the proposed revisions related to repealing language from the original contraceptive bill which noted a restriction of “at least 18 years of age” and evidence of a previous prescription. The legislation noted a repeal of that restriction effective 1/1/2020, if there we no identified problems. Repealing the age restriction accomplishes the directive of the sunset clause.

MOTION Motion to send Contraceptive Prescribing rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 019 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Armstrong).

Division 019 & 031 – FPGEC SB 855

Chrisy Hennigan reviewed SB 855, which requires licensing boards to study the manner in which an agency can reduce licensure barriers to immigrants or refugees. In response, the rule is revised to permit an applicant to provide a copy of the original FPGEC certificate (that cannot be replaced), to rulemaking. The agency will report this proposed change in its report to the legislature. MOTION Motion to send Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 019 and 031 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Beaman, seconded by Armstrong).

Division 080 – Controlled Substances – Animal Euthanasia SB 71

Fiona Karbowicz provided the Board a second look at the animal euthanasia drug outlet rules. The proposed language will incorporate controlled substance accountability, oversight and expectations for animal euthanasia drug outlets, particularly due to Senate Bill 71’s addition of sedative & analgesic drugs used for humane euthanasia. The Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board (OVMEB) plans to create a formulary of about three sedative/analgesic drugs that will be permitted. She stated that not all outlets have on-site veterinarians; therefore, the accountability lines need to be more defined. The drugs will be ordered on the outlet’s DEA registration, not on that of the veterinarian. OBOP will be inspecting the locations in 2020, and will work in tandem with OVMEB regarding identified concerns. We have asked for clarity from OVMEB about Certified Euthanasia Technician (CET) certification – staff to keep OBOP informed as we learn more. FYI: Limited disciplinary options in both OBOP and OVMEB regulations (per statute) – essentially there is only the ability to suspend or revoke the outlet, which is not ideal if the people (CET, veterinarian, manager, etc.) are responsible for compliance or diversion issues at the outlet. Staff are working with OVMEB for options to reconcile this. MOTION Motion to send Animal Euthanasia Drug Outlet rule revisions in OAR 855 Division 080 to rulemaking hearing was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Murray).

Public Health and Pharmacy Formulary Advisory Committee Fiona Karbowicz stated that they approved the Committees meeting minutes from their last meeting and have an upcoming meeting on October 25th. Follow up work will continue at the next Committee meeting on Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and Non-NRT Smoking Cessation, Pre-Travel Medications and Non-Occupational Post Exposure Prophylaxis.

Discussion Items Policy Items for Discussion/Updates: APhA Contraceptive Training Program Fiona Karbowicz reported that APhA provided some answers to Board member questions from the August meeting and they indicated that they would provide the rest of the information possibly for the Board to review at an upcoming meeting. Fiona asked the Board if they had any additional questions for APhA and the Board provided no additional directives.

OSU Emergency Refills of Insulin Training Program

Fiona Karbowicz stated that the rules in Division 019 and 020 were adopted earlier during this Board meeting; scope for a pharmacist’s prescribing emergency refills of insulin was added to the rules. In response to SB 9 there is a required “Board approved” ACPE training program specifically related to a pharmacist prescribing emergency insulin refills. The Board received an outlined program and associated documents from OSU for the Board’s review and approval. The Board discussed the content and it’s alignment with the law.

Pharmacists and subject matter experts, Craig Williams, Sharon Rask from OSU College of Pharmacy were invited to join the conversation with Lorinda Anderson who attended by phone, along with Christina Heinrich a Clinical Specialty Pharmacist from the Eugene VA Clinic. After a robust discussion, the Board asked staff to work with OSU to modify the program’s legal elements and provide for clear boundaries and referral points, when necessary. The second portion of the program may provide for a diabetes clinical refresher for pharmacists.

Waiver Requests Fiona Karbowicz presented Petnet’s request to extend their current pharmacy security waiver for 5 years.

MOTION Motion to approve Petnet Solutions Security request to extend pharmacy security waiver [OAR 855-041-1020(5)] for 5 years, to return in October 2024 was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Logan).

Bay Area Hospital request

Chrisy Hennigan presented a request for Bay Area Hospital that was previously approved for a different individual at this location in June 2019, who has since retired. This location has a new PIC in place and Board approval is required for the PIC, not the outlet. The Board agreed to approve the request for the new PIC. MOTION Motion to approve Heather Loudon-Howley RPH-0017301 request to be the PIC at Bay Area Hospital’s three pharmacies (IP-0000616 and RP-0000822 and RP-0003512) for five years was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Beaman, seconded by Ayoub).

TCVP - Columbia Memorial Hospital – 1-year report

Fiona Karbowicz advised the Board was provided a 1-year report from Columbia Memorial Hospital for their TCVP program and asked the Board if they had any questions for the outlet prior to approval of the report. MOTION Motion to accept Columbia Memorial Hospital’s TCVP one-year implementation report was made and unanimously carried. (Motion by Murray, seconded by Beaman).

Other Strategic Planning update

Joe Schnabel gave an update on the upcoming Strategic Planning meeting. After the August meeting, Karen MacLean had surveyed the Board for input on the mission, vision and values. Joe read the Board the mission statement language they selected. He also gave the results of the survey in order of preferred language for a vision statement and list of values, which will all be finalized at the upcoming Strategic Planning meeting. Karen is actively seeking to procure the facilitator and hopes to have the contract in place soon.

Page 8 of 11

Karen MacLean reported that the report was completed for 2019 with 2018 data and stated that as the Board moves to a new strategic plan, we need to think about current key performance measures and determine if they need to be revised to better reflect the agency’s performance goals. Karen advised if changes are needed, they need to be submitted by early April 2020 as part of the budget process.

Affirm Use of 2019 Attorney General’s Model Rules of Procedure Tom Cowan stated that we are now using the July 2019 version of the Attorney General’s Model Rules of Procedure and needed to update the rules associated with this date. The law allows this date to be changed outside the normal rulemaking procedures.

MOTION Motion to affirm the use of July 2019 Attorney General’s Model Rules of Procedure was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Armstrong, seconded by Ayoub).

Probation Policy Review

Brianne Efremoff stated that this was simply an update for only section (f) of the Probation Policy and it was revised per a discussion at the August meeting and the Board agreed. MOTION Motion to approve agency’s revised probation policy was made and unanimously carried (Motion by Ayoub, seconded by Murray).
