Which situation requires immediate notification to the Board?

The situation that requires immediate notification to the Board is the change of ownership of the pharmacy. This is a significant event because ownership changes can affect everything from the operational compliance of the pharmacy to its license status. When a pharmacy has a new owner, the state Board of Pharmacy needs to ensure the new ownership meets all regulatory requirements and maintains the standards necessary for safe and legal pharmacy practices. It also affects the pharmacy's registration and potentially its ability to operate under its current license.

In contrast, temporary staffing changes, internal staff meetings, and renovations, while they may need to be documented or may require notice under certain circumstances, do not necessitate immediate notification to the Board as they are typically operational matters. These types of changes are generally within the pharmacy's discretion to manage without needing to trigger an immediate regulatory review.
