Systemwide Review of Proposed Presidential Policy: Externally Supplied Medications in UC Outpatient and Clinic Settings |
The University of California Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy on Use of Externally Supplied Medications in UC Outpatient and Clinic Settings. The policy is proposed to be revised and includes the following key issues:
|
-
DSCSA is a federal law that requires UC to be able to track and trace all medications given to patients. Currently, there are medications coming into our UC system that we can’t track and trace because they are externally supplied by outside pharmacies. This policy would ban the use of medications that were externally supplied outside of our contracted distributors.
-
UC has identified that externally supplied medications not only go against the DSCSA, but also lead to gaps in patient care and wastage of medication.
- Rare exceptions to this policy exist in cases of first time patient education and in patient assistance programs.
|
The draft policy is posted here. If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Paula Johnson in Policy and Records Administration at policy@ucsd.edu no later than October 28, 2024.
