An automated pharmacy system may be used for a patient profile dispensing system only if operation of the system is controlled by a pharmacist in all respects. For purposes of this chapter, such control includes but is not limited to the ability to fill prescription drug orders; control access to the machine; permit, block and monitor all stocking and dispensing activity; check inventory levels inside the machine; authenticate users of the system; authorize different levels of user access to the system; and deactivate or shut down the system.
