This is to support the practice of pharmacist check of automated dispensing dispense fills at the centralized services center where the fill is done (as opposed to by pharmacist at the receiving hospital).  It's logical to do the check where the fill is done,  keeping oversight and responsibility directly connected to the work done.   The receiving hospitals are attesting to the success of the pilot and their great desire to make it permanent.  The Board setting the required safety standards while giving the impacted health system flexibility to best determine where the  work is done, also makes sense.
