Hello everyone,

I am Kamini a retail tech. We have a counter in our pharmacy which is visible

but not accesible to customers This is where we keep our Psuedoohedrine products

behind locked glass doors. So they can ask us for it and we have a log where we

note down their name, item purchased, their DL#, address and signature. We are

going to have a meeting where we will discuss the various legal aspects of this

new practice.

So, here is what we are doing might have missed afew points there but tried my

best.

If you are a hospital tech expect to see more cases of unmanaged

decongestion or complications of the same in ER as people may have no

idea that pseudoephedrine is replaced or what it was once in or that

it is behind the counter.

IS YOUR pharmacy in compliance now? Will they be by September 30,2006?

Tell us about what is going on in your pharmacy with this issue? How

is your pharmacy handling or storing or shelving the new BEHIND the

counter requirements for pseudoephedrine and Plan B??? Is ther eenough

room for BEHIND the counter products? Do you place Pseudoephrine on

the Rx shelves or else where?

Dear Kamini,

Thank you for sharing this. I would make one suggestion. Make sure

that the log is not seen by the patients, otherwise the previous pts

names will be seen and this will break HIPAA laws.

So it is filled out by RPh? or Rx tech? If pt has to sign the logbook

then they can see the previouse patient info and signature.

If the log book must be signed by the pt then how will you deal with

HIPAA?

Please inform us!

Hi Jeanetta,

We've all PSE products behind the counter since sometime near the beginning of

2006. At first they were behind the pharmacy counter. But in my store (I'm not

sure if it's all CVS's) the pharmacy opens an hour later and closes 1/2 hour

earlier than the front store. So as not to inconvenience our customers, all PSE

products and the log are kept behind the front register. I can't speak as to

the log itself since I haven't seen it. I do know that when the product is

scanned at the register the amount of PSE in grams purchased prints on the

receipt. We have no age limit for the purchasers in NJ just a 3.6 gram per day

limit. Also all store employees had to take a (very) short but informative

class about the dangers of PSE and why it's now being regulated. We then had to

sign a confirmation that we understood the law and we could be prosecuted

(personally) should we neglect it.

Sincerely,

--

in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,

champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up,

Dear ,

Thank you for the input. While I knew many states had already sent PSE behind

counter, I wondered if any individual pharmacies were laggi;ng behind, with

new law if the corresponding state was following only Fed law.

In addition, I wondered about the 'logistics' which you so eloquently pointed

out. Thanks.

Now I just don't understand the part about 'convenience' for the customer. If

the pharmacist has to sell it and the pt must sign a log book what does it

matter if it is locked up or just under the register for other employees to get

to? OR is it NOT law that a RPh must sell it? Can anyone get it from behind

counter to sell to the customer? If so then the 'convenience' factor makes

sense.

Appreciate your enlightening me.

IF you out there who are reading this are handling this another way, please give

us your input. I had expected some pharmacies to place it on the Rx shelves due

of lack of space behind the counter. With all the behind the counter drugs

lately we just may need to build bigger, wider pharmacies! :)

Thanks

Hi Jeanetta,

In NJ, anyone can sell PSE products; it's not a requirement that the RPh sell

it.

Now, from what I've read, Plan-B is a totally different game plan.

Dear Jeanetta,

Thank you for diverting my attetion to this issue. The last I worked on friday

we did not think about covering our pse log but if they havent come up with

something over the weekend I will surely suggest this.

The way we would do it I think is cover the signatures with a cardboard or

something so the person signing cannot see those in front of them. This is what

we do with our HIPPA log.

Thanks Kamini

You are MOST welcome!

While at the eye doctor last year I noticed when I signed in that all of the

names and signatures had been 'blackend' out with a magic marker. (area smelled

like it too! Receptionist was probably 'high' all day long ) . What THEY did is

AS SOON as someone logs in they check the appointment book/calander and get back

to them as to how soon the doc can see them. They photo copy it and KEEP that,

while placing the original, now blackened at the 'window' for new pts to sign

in. At the end of the day they have one photo copy with all sign-ins on it. The

blackened sheet is thrown away.

The above works for them. BUT with logs that you/Rx MUST have to keep MUST for

insurance pick up of meds, sell PSE, etc have original ink I think. So we could

not use a copy or blacke them out.

My suggestion is a pies of pater just before the one that they are signing that

can be 'foldedd' toth enew length each time (longer or lwered each time) . the

cardboard over the signature only is not good enough IF there is any other

HIPAA info. But if not other PHI then it is okay. PHI like address, phone

number, etc MUST be covered EVEN if you do not see the pts name..

For example: if one signs that they are apicking up a med that just happens to

be a Class II drug, and the signature only is covered, the next person to sign

that log maynot know who picked up the med, but may recognize the address as the

'neighbor's house' OR they could be a criminal and want to ransack the house for

drugs.

Now your HIPAA compliance Officer would KNOW better than I. But these are things

to think about!

Please keep us informed how things change or are done! Operations is a very

important part of pharmacy, especially in RETAIL!

Jeanetta,

At my store here in south Texas, we handle ALL PSE sales under the

same (Corporate) rules which SHOULD be the same at all of our outlets

no matter which state:

1. ANY O.T.C. that contains PSE is kept behind the Pharmacy counter.

2. ANY 'store employee' can sell PSE products. At my store, many

employees cross-train to work in the Pharmacy as a PA. So this past

month every store employee had to 'take the coporate IVR (hint..

hint..)' phone PSE 'Exam' no matter what their position happens to be.

3. We keep a PSE logbook behind the Pharmacy counter that anyone who

wishes to purchase PSE products must sign. The logbook records the

following information: Name, D.L. or State/Military Photo I.D.

#/Address/DOB/Product Purchased (It is not an absolute, but I always

record both the product name and NDC#)/Total 'Weight' (Mass) in grams

of PSE purchased/Employee Initials/Patient Signature.

4. Yes, Jeanetta.... This is ANNOYING!!! Especially since now it is

not PSE ONLY that we have to log but all products that contain PSE!

It does take take up time and the way that the PSE logbook is 'setup'

might expose this community's valueable store chain to possible HIIPA

violations of Patient Sensitive Information PERHAPS. Call Corporate

Legal on the HIIPA issues, but since there is not a SS#, Diagnosis

Code, Doctor Name, or Patient Sensitive Payment or TP/Insurance

Information on the actual logbook that I fill out and the patient

signs... Well, as I stated As An Employee of a pharmacy chain that

campers visually see as they drive by our stores, or more

specifically since I live right on the Gulf Coast of Texas

and 'Snowbirds' (especially those from Rhode Island) can recognize us

because of our clearly visable storefronts... I believe that my

company's PSE policies concerning PSE products will not get our

corporation of valuable services into legal trouble.
