A community pharmacy provides outpatient pharmacy services, and is open for a minimum of 20 hours per week unless reduced hours have been approved by the Board. Section 465.018, Florida Statutes (F.S.), requires a permit holder to designate a pharmacist licensed in the State of Florida as the manager of the prescription department. The Prescription Department Manager (PDM) is responsible for maintaining all drug records, providing for the security of the prescription department and following other such rules as relates to the practice of pharmacy. Rule 64B16-27.104(5), F.A.C., mandates that a pharmacist may not be registered as the pharmacy manager for more than one pharmacy.
