39 28 nonjudgmental dispensing functions to staff assistants only
39 29 when verification of the accuracy and completeness of the
39 30 prescription is determined by the pharmacist or practitioner
39 31 in the pharmacist's or practitioner's physical presence.
39 32 However, the physical presence requirement does not apply when
39 33 a pharmacist or practitioner is utilizing an automated
39 34 dispensing system.	When using an automated dispensing system
35 the pharmacist or practitioner shall utilize an internal
1 quality control assurance plan that ensures accuracy for
40	2 dispensing.	Verification of automated dispensing accuracy and

40 26 the patient, a quantity of properly packaged and labeled
40 27 prescription drugs, controlled substances, or medical devices
40 28 necessary to complete a course of therapy.	However, a remote

40 31 regular advice and consultation of a pharmacist regarding the
40 32 distribution, storage, and appropriate use of such drugs,

41	4 assistant.	If prescription drug supplying authority is
41	5 delegated by a supervising physician to a physician assistant,
41	6 a nurse or staff assistant may assist the physician assistant
41	7 in providing that service.	Rules shall be adopted by the

41 13 function of prescribing drugs, controlled substances, and
41 14 medical devices to a physician assistant licensed pursuant to
41 15 chapter 148C.	When delegated prescribing occurs, the
41 16 supervising physician's name shall be used, recorded, or
41 17 otherwise indicated in connection with each individual
41 18 prescription so that the individual who dispenses or
41 19 administers the prescription knows under whose delegated
41 20 authority the physician assistant is prescribing.	Rules
41 21 relating to the authority of physician assistants to prescribe
41 22 drugs, controlled substances, and medical devices pursuant to
41 23 this subsection shall be adopted by the board of physician
41 24 assistant examiners assistants, after consultation with the

43 27 to licensee discipline may be disclosed to an appropriate
43 28 licensing authority in any jurisdiction in which the licensee

43 32 subsection shall not preclude the discovery of the
43 33 identification of witnesses or documents known to a peer
43 34 review committee.	Any final written decision and finding of
35 fact by a licensing board in a disciplinary proceeding is a

44 21 committee information in subsection 2.	Persons making these
44 22 reports and persons participating in resulting proceedings
44 23 related to these reports shall be immune from civil liability

48 26	Sec. 91.	Section 148.6, Code 2007, is amended to read as

49 10 without regard to its designation elsewhere, or a criminal
49 11 proceeding in which a finding or verdict of guilt is made or

50 17 or drug screening shall constitute admission to the
50 18 allegations made against the physician and the finding of fact
50 19 and decision of the medical examiners board may be entered
50 20 without the taking of testimony or presentation of evidence.
50 21 At reasonable intervals, a physician shall be afforded an

50 33 grounds that they constitute privileged communication.	The
50 34 medical testimony or examination reports shall not be used
35 against a physician in another proceeding and shall be
1 confidential, except for other actions filed against a
51	2 physician to revoke or suspend a license.
51	3	i.	Willful or repeated violation of lawful rule or
51	4 regulation adopted by the board or violating a lawful order of
