Board approves short-term funding to keep KTrax gateway running
Summary
The board unanimously approved temporary funding to maintain the statewide KTrax gateway from July 1 to Sept. 30 while the Board of Pharmacy awaits federal funds; staff said federal funding is expected by Oct. 1.
The board approved a one-time, short-term funding request to keep the statewide KTrax gateway operating until federal funding becomes available.
Staff presented the Board of Pharmacy’s request for temporary funding from July 1 through Sept. 30 to maintain the statewide gateway that integrates the prescription-monitoring tool with clinical workflows. Staff said the funding would ensure uninterrupted access while the pharmacy board awaits federal grant funding expected to begin Oct. 1. Chris noted the legislation requires a $200,000 contribution and that the requested funding is intended as gap support in addition to that legislatively required contribution.
Board members asked whether October funding was confirmed; staff replied that their understanding is funding is expected to be available starting Oct. 1. The board moved to approve the request; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote.
Next steps: staff will process the short-term funding to maintain KTrax access while federal funding is secured.
