The bill amends section 465.1865 of the Florida Statutes to refine the definition of "chronic health condition" within the context of collaborative pharmacy practice. Specifically, it adds exclusions for certain heart-related conditions, stating that "chronic health condition" will not include heart failure, coronary heart disease, and cardiac rhythm disorders. This change is made in consultation with the Board of Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine.
The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. By clarifying which conditions are considered chronic health conditions, the bill aims to streamline the collaborative pharmacy practice framework and ensure that specific heart-related issues are treated separately.
