Story Behind the Curve
This measure reviewed annual renewal inspections of each Utah medical cannabis pharmacy. A total of 14 pharmacies were inspected in 2022. The inspection sheet carefully looked at 48 items. All items are considered equally important.
Beginning July 1, 2023, the pharmacy regulatory duties, including inspections, moved to the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. After that time we no longer collected information about this measure.
The measure was broadened to include all CMC audit types.
