Hawaii disciplinary grounds

The Board may revoke, suspend, or restrict a license, impose fines, or require remediation for unprofessional conduct, impairment, fraud, or dispensing without a valid prescription.

Dispensers report controlled substance prescriptions to the state prescription monitoring program within Board-specified timeframes; access is limited to authorized prescribers and pharmacists.

Hawaii pharmacy permit

A pharmacy must hold a current Board-issued permit for its physical location; changes in ownership, location, or pharmacist-in-charge require notification and Board approval.

Hawaii unprofessional conduct

Conduct subject to discipline includes practicing beyond scope, falsifying records, dispensing without a valid prescription, and failing to maintain required records or report adverse events.

Hawaii continuing education

Each renewal cycle requires Board-approved CE hours, including mandated topics such as law and patient safety; certificates must be retained and produced on audit.
