Tennessee Board of Pharmacy Policy on Medication Take Back Program
• Allowed If DEA Regulations are “STRICTLY FOLLOWED” • Recent changes in federal regulations allow licensed retail
pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and reverse distributors that have a valid DEA registration to accept returns of unused legend drugs from end-users. These registrants may do so by modifying their DEA registration to serve as collectors of unused legend drugs, and by further complying with all DEA regulations pertaining to this activity.
• Therefore, any retail pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, or reverse distributor that is licensed by the Board and complies with all applicable DEA regulations pertaining to drug disposal MAY accept returns of unused legend drugs pursuant to DEA rules.
Tennessee Board Policy on Medication Take Back Program (cont.)
• If DEA regulations are not strictly followed, Board of Pharmacy Rule 1140-03-.04(8) will apply. Rule 1140-03-.04(8) prohibits pharmacy practice sites, pharmacists, pharmacist interns, technicians, or any other place involved in the compounding and dispensing of prescription drugs and devices (except institutional pharmacies pursuant to Rule 1140-04-.10) from accepting returns of any order that has been taken from the premises of that pharmacy practice site or any other place of business.
• DEA resources pertaining to drug disposal, including a complete text of the applicable DEA rules, are available at: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/
• See TN Board of Pharmacy website or call board office for questions
Next DEA Take-Back Day
Potential RED FLAGS for Pharmacists
• Many patients receiving the same combination of prescriptions (cocktail)
• Many patients receiving the same strength of controlled substances
• Many patients paying cash for their prescriptions • Prescriptions resulting in therapeutic conflicts• Many patients with the same diagnosis
https://www.nabp.net/
Potential RED FLAGS for Pharmacists
• Individuals driving long distances to visit physicians and/or to fill prescriptions
• Patients coming into the pharmacy in groups, each with the same prescriptions from the same physician
• Constant requests for early refills
• MULTIPLE RED FLAGS COULD BE A REASON TO DENY pending consultation with prescriber
https://www.nabp.net/
Regulatory and Controlled Substance Update
– CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ISSUES• Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations• PART 1306 — PRESCRIPTIONS• GENERAL INFORMATION• §1306.04 Purpose of issue of prescription. • (a) A prescription for a controlled substance to be effective must be issued
for a legitimate medical purpose by an individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his professional practice. The responsibility for the proper prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who fills the prescription. An order purporting to be a prescription issued not in the usual course of professional treatment or in legitimate and authorized research is not a prescription within the meaning and intent of section 309 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 829) and the person knowingly filling such a purported prescription, as well as the person issuing it, shall be subject to the penalties provided for violations of the provisions of law relating to controlled substances

Armed Robbery Thoughts to supplement your practice site policies to aid surviving the robbery and assisting law enforcement
• Cooperate with robber • Be a good witness and study what is touched or moved• If a weapon is displayed, note the type and color • Keep the note if used to make robbery demands for police• Stay as calm as possible (Indicate you and your team will
comply with demands)• If possible, get the escape vehicle description, license number,
and escape direction for police• Lock the building down after the event and call police• Wait for police and cooperate fully

Public Chapter 898
Since June 15, 2015 any APN or PA who fails to have a supervisor listed in the CSMD is blocked from running patient reports (includes any healthcare practitioner extenders).
The supervisor has the right to revoke Entering your supervisor in the CSMD does not
relieve you from notifying your regulatory board of their board specific requirements.
If you change your supervisor you have 30 days to make that change within the CSMD and your regulatory board (as directed).
Improve Practice Site Partnership with CSMD Program
• Assure Supervisor Relationships are documented in the CSMD (See Frequently Asked Questions on CSMD Website http://tn.gov/health/article/CSMD-faq)
• See Questions 36 – 39• Best Process for correction of Wrong Prescriber name in
CSMD (Contact the pharmacy and discuss each prescription number in question with pharmacist to reconcile correct prescriber name)
• Protect you password and assure your extenders do the same
• Support Dispensers with entering the correct patient names, addresses, birthdates, and prescriber name
Conclusion
• Recent outcomes from the use of the Tennessee Controlled Substances Monitoring Database (CSMD) Program are encouraging
• Clinicians value and respond to their assessment of TN CSMD Patient Reports
• Prescribers, Dispensers and Practice Sites partnership is needed and valued by the CSMD Program
