How often does the Rx Drug registry Advisory Board meet?

• A. Quarterly
• B. Monthly
• C. At least once a year
• D. Every two years

Answer: (C)

The board is meant to provide ongoing governance of theRx Drug Registry, and the rule sets a minimum cadence for oversight. Meeting at least once a year gives the group a regular opportunity to review the year's registry data, discuss operations and policy implications, consider recommendations, and prepare an annual report. More frequent meetings aren’t required by the statute, while waiting two years between meetings would leave gaps in oversight. So the minimum, and best, understanding is that the board meets at least annually.
