Summary


Formatting changes are made throughout these sections for clarification. In Section R156-37f-102, the proposed amendments add the following definitions: 1) new Subsections (6) and (12) define the terms "null report" and "zero report", respectively, meaning a report containing the data fields required by Subsection R156-37f-203(5), indicating that no controlled substance required to be reported has been dispensed since the previous submission of data; 2) new Subsection (8) defines the terms "point of sale date", "POS date", and "Date Sold" as the date that the prescription drug leaves the pharmacy (and not the date that the prescription was filled, if the dates differ). This definition also clarifies that ASAP Version 4.2 uses the "DSP17" field to identify the point of sale date. In Subsections R156-37f-203(1) and (2), the proposed amendments make formatting changes for clarity, by renumbering previous subsections (3) and (4) to subsections (1) and (2), respectively, in order to conform the provisions of this rule more closely with the provisions of the Controlled Substance Database Act. These proposed amendments also change the working title of the CSD "Manager" to CSD "Administrator", and, together with the definitions established in Section R156-37f-102, clarify that the data submitted to the Database shall be from the date the drug leaves the pharmacy. In Subsection R156-37f-203(3) and (4), the proposed amendments update and clarify what data must be submitted to the Database, by deleting references to obsolete or unclear data requirements, and specifying the ASAP Version 4.2 data fields that must be completed to capture data in accordance with the intent of the Controlled Substance Database Act and the capability or functionality of Database collection instruments. In Subsection R156-37f-203(5), the proposed amendments require "zero reporting" to the Database if no controlled substance required to be reported has been dispensed since the previous submission of data, and specify the data fields that must be completed to submit a zero report in accordance with ASAP Version 4.2. In Subsection R156-37f-203(6), minor formatting changes are made to this subsection for clarification. In Subsection R156-37f-301(2), the proposed amendments further conform the requirements for Database access to the Controlled Substance Database Act, by 1) requiring each registered user to apply for an online account and user name only under the specific Controlled Substance Database Act provision under which he or she qualifies; and 2) prohibiting a registered user from permitting another person to have knowledge of or use his or her assigned password or PIN.
