Sec. 5. For purposes of this article, "supervision" means the physical or real-time act of oversight and management by a managing pharmacist, pharmacist in charge, or qualifying pharmacist of another individual's work or work product. Unless otherwise stated in this article, individuals practicing pharmacy must be directly supervised either through a direct line of sight and hearing, or via technological means that allow a supervisor to adequately ensure quality of care and patient services. In accordance with other sections in this article, if a facility is using technology to allow indirect supervision, they must have documented policies and procedures and other adequate safeguards to protect against patient harm, diversion, and privacy incidents.
