Section 560-X-16-.11 - Pharmacist Consultant Services In Nursing Facilities

(1) Federal regulations require pharmacy consultant services in nursing facilities as a condition of participation. This requirement recognizes the professional status of the pharmacist and makes him an integral part of the health care team.

(2) The requirement that there be pharmacy consultant services is imposed on the facility as a condition of participation. Thus, compensation is appropriately an arrangement between the facility and the consultant.
