Established
in 1983, this non-tax exempt organization has an 8-member (non-paid) advisory
board that provides education programs on topics in the field of substance
abuse to pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, students, etc.... It also acts as a
liaison to the Schools of Pharmacy, and between WSPA and the Board of Pharmacy,
and the WRAPP monitoring program manager. WRAPP receives funding through the
State Board of Pharmacy. It accepts: 1) Voluntary admits; 2) Board
referred (in lieu of discipline); 3) Board ordered admits. The program manager
provides monthly reports to the Board of Pharmacy, the WSPA, and the WRAPP
Advisory Board. Funds from the State Board of Pharmacy are transferred to the
WSPA and are then executed for services by the WRAPP monitoring program
manager, or for other expenses of the WRAPP program. It does not carry general
liability insurance. It is exempt from liability because of state codes. It
utilizes substance abuse professionals with credentials in the evaluation for
treatment. Some advisory board members are licensed CDCs. WRAPP has a written
"statement of work" contract for services provided with the Board of
Pharmacy. It has enabling legislation: the Washington Administrative Code
WAC 246-867 Impaired Pharmacist Rehabilitation. WRAPP publishes articles in the
Washington Pharmacist published by the WSPA.
What about funding? The organization does not charge client fees.It does not receive funding through license renewal fees. There is, at this time, no specific fee assessed per license. It started out with a licensing surcharge, but now uses a Board of Pharmacy line item budget. Technically this money does come from all licensee fees, although not specifically assessed as such.
Active clients include: Pharmacists, Pharmacy Students, Pharmacy Technicians, and Pharmacy Assistants.
