Conn. Agencies Regs. § 20-576-14

Current through March 14, 2024
Section 20-576-14 - Security of the prescription department during momentary absences of a pharmacist

During times when the pharmacist leaves the prescription department, or leaves the area operated as the pharmacy in accordance with sections 20-576-15 and 20-576-16 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, for a few moments, measures shall be taken to insure that adequate security of the prescription department is provided and that entry by unauthorized personnel is prevented or immediately detected. The presence of a pharmacy intern or a pharmacy technician in the prescription department, or in the area operated as the pharmacy in accordance with section 20-576-15 and 20-576-16 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, during these times shall be considered to be providing adequate security. If no such personnel are available for this purpose, and the prescription department, or the area licensed as the pharmacy in accordance with sections 20-576-15 and 20-576-16 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, is not within the view of the pharmacist, a method shall be employed to physically or electronically secure the prescription department through the use of mechanisms such as a locked barrier or an alarm system that will prevent or immediately detect access to that area.
