9t8-DARe6T6V0Gnx EEyOFc-U1mZ

This law now replaces the 2011 implementation date for e-Pedigree

requirements to a series of staggered implementation dates requiring:

· 50 percent of a manufacturer' s products by 2015;

· The remaining 50 percent of the manufacturer' s products by 2016;

· Wholesalers and repackagers must accept and pass e-Pedigrees by July

1, 2016, and;

· Pharmacies and pharmacy distribution centers must accept e-Pedigrees

by July 1, 2017.

There is also preemption language that would repeal California's

provisions if federal law regarding e-Pedigrees is enacted, or if

federal standards are enacted, they would take effect in CA. The board

will ultimately have to develop regulations for various components,

including inference. Senator Ridley- added a letter to the

Senate Journal, reflecting the agreement of those who worked on

amendments to California's e-Pedigree law. A copy of this letter can

be obtained at http://www.pharmacy .ca.gov/about/ e_pedigree. shtml.

Here is an update on ISMP Medication Alert!

" ISMP Medication Safety Alert

Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) Comments on Importance

of Collaboration with Recalled Medications

On October 9, 2008, ISMP released a medication safety alert regarding

" Collaboration focused on priority issues promotes safety. " The alert

was published as a result of the California Board of Pharmacy's recent

citing and fining of hospital directors of pharmacy where recalled

drugs were found in stock. California hospital pharmacies of recalled

heparin and their defense of pharmacists cited with " unprofessional

conduct " by the Board of Phramacy. To read the full article, click here. "
