Pharmacies are included among the facilities inspected across the state; Both Section 456.069, Florida Statutes, and Section 465.17, Florida Statutes, provide inspectors in MQA with the legal authority to inspect pharmacies. During an inspection, components such as proper record-keeping, inventory maintenance, and security of controlled substances are evaluated to ensure that facilities meet minimum standards of operation and practice. While pharmaceutical compliance is complex and can differ depending on the type of pharmacy at issue, pharmacies are generally subjected to inspection prior to permitting and licensing, after receipt of an application for a change in location or change of ownership, and routinely to ensure compliance. Like is required of M.O.D.E. facilities, pharmacy inspections are statutorily required to be completed within 30 days – a benchmark that MQA consistently outperforms. In fact, over the last five years, MQA continues to complete each pharmacy inspection within 14 days, including all initial inspections where the applicant did not formally request a delay (Figure 4.1).
