Mr. Walker reviewed several bills that were passed
during the 2013 Legislative Session. Dr. Young led
the Board in discussing rule amendments that need to
made due to action taken by the legislature.
3. 11:00 a.m. - Discussion regarding Kroger
distribution plan to assist with addressing
issues in rule
Mr. Paige Patterick, Mr. Blair Woolf, and Mr.
Brody White, representatives of Kroger Stores, met
with the Board. Kroger has a call center to help the
Kroger Pharmacies provide better customer service.
These representatives reviewed how call center
technicians take calls from customers with a variety of
questions such as is my prescription ready, how much
is my prescription, and can you refill my prescription?
When a customer contacts the call center and the
technician cannot help the customer, the customer is
transferred to the store pharmacist. These types of
calls would include drug interactions. The Board
indicated that they may recommend rule amendments
to be made to the Division in the future that would
impact what Kroger is hoping to set up in Utah. The
Board requested this topic be discussed at the June
or July Board meeting.
4. 11:20 a.m. - Division’s response to
Compounding Task Force Report
