Kan. Admin. Regs. § 68-22-5 - Minimum operating requirements
(a) A pharmacy student or pharmacy technician
may enter the pharmacy without a pharmacist present for purposes of turning on
the data, video, or audio links and determining if a pharmacist is available
for electronic supervision.
(b)
Electronic supervision shall not be permitted if an interruption occurs in any
of the data, video, or audio links. Whenever an interruption in any of the
data, video, or audio links occurs, no medication order shall be filled or
dispensed using electronic supervision.
(c) Data entry may be performed by the
electronically supervising pharmacist or the pharmacy student or pharmacy
technician being electronically supervised. Each entry performed by an
electronically supervised pharmacy student or pharmacy technician shall be
verified by the electronically supervising pharmacist before the drug leaves
the pharmacy.
(d) All medication
orders processed by a pharmacy student or a pharmacy technician being
electronically supervised shall be capable of being displayed on a computer
terminal at both the location of the electronically supervising pharmacist and
the medical care facility's pharmacy. The quality of the image viewed by the
pharmacist shall be sufficient for the pharmacist to be able to determine the
accuracy of the work of the pharmacy student or pharmacy technician.
(e) All patient demographic information shall
be viewable in real time at both the location of the electronically supervising
pharmacist and the medical care facility's pharmacy.

shall utilize the data, audio, and video links and review the patient profile,
the original scanned medication order, and the drug to be dispensed to ensure
accuracy.
(2) The supervising
pharmacist, pharmacy student, or pharmacy technician shall cause an electronic
or paper image of the medication order and the drug, as seen by the
electronically supervising pharmacist, to be captured and retained in the
electronic or paper records of the medical care facility's pharmacy for the
same time period as that required for the written medication order.
(3) The supervising pharmacist, pharmacy
student, or pharmacy technician shall cause a paper or electronic record that
includes the patient's name, the medication order number, the name of the
pharmacy student or pharmacy technician, and the name of the electronically
supervising pharmacist to be made.
(4) The pharmacist in charge of the medical
care facility's pharmacy shall ensure that controls exist to protect the
privacy and security of confidential records.
(5) The supervising pharmacist, pharmacy
student, or pharmacy technician shall cause a permanent digital record of all
duties electronically supervised and all data transmissions associated with the
electronic supervision to be made. Each record shall be maintained for at least
five years.
