Long Term Care Automated Pharmacy

Long-term care automated pharmacy means a designated area in a long-term care facility where an automated medication system is located. The Long-term care automated pharmacy stores medications for dispensing from a medical order to residents in said long-term care facility. The Long-term care automated pharmacy is installed and operated by a Nebraska licensed pharmacy.

Inspections – Long-term care automated dispensing pharmacies are inspected prior to issuing the permit.  They are required to submit an annual Pharmacy Quality Assurance Report (PQAR) from the date they are first inspected.

Remote Dispensing Pharmacy

A pharmacy that owns and runs a remote dispensing pharmacy is a supervising pharmacy. The supervising pharmacy must have a separate remote dispensing pharmacy license.


The remote pharmacy must be at least 10 miles from the nearest pharmacy when it is issued the license. It is staffed by Nebraska certified pharmacy technicians. The Pharmacy Practice Act defines remote dispensing as using remote supervision. A real-time audiovisual communication system used by a Nebraska licensed pharmacist is used to supervise the pharmacy technician. Nothing can be dispensed if that system is not working properly.

Inspections Remote dispensing pharmacies are inspected before a license is issued. They must submit a Pharmacy Quality Assurance Report (PQAR) annually.
