Pharmacy Commission
Inspections
Pharmacy inspections will follow a statement of deficiency-plan of correction model. Once an inspection occurs, pharmaceutical firms will receive an inspection report that may include deficiencies found during the inspection. Pharmaceutical firms must then submit to PQAC a plan of correction addressing how it will correct deficiencies cited on the inspection report.
WAC 246-945-005 requires responsible pharmacy managers (or equivalent managers) of pharmaceutical firms to conduct an annual self-inspection of the pharmaceutical firm on the self-inspection worksheet(s) provided by the commission. Self-inspections must occur within the month of March each year and within 30 days of naming a new responsible pharmacy manager.
