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 conditions, stating that "chronic health condition" will not include heart failure, coronary heart disease, and cardiac rhythm disorders. This change aims to clarify which conditions are eligible for collaborative pharmacy practices related to chronic health management.
The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. By excluding these specific cardiac conditions from the definition, the bill seeks to streamline the focus of collaborative pharmacy practices on other chronic health issues, potentially improving the management and treatment of those conditions.
