   6830.   Standardized   patient-centered   data  elements.  1.  The
  commissioner shall develop rules and regulations requiring  standardized
  patient-centered  data  elements consistent with existing technology and
  equipment to be used on all prescription medicine dispensed to  patients
  in this state.
2. When developing the requirements for patient-centered data elements
  on prescription drug labels, the commissioner shall consider:
(a)  medical  literacy  research  that identifies factors that improve
  understandability of labels and promotes  increased  compliance  with  a
  drug's intended use;
(b) factors that improve the clarity of directions for use;
(c) font types and sizes;
(d) inclusion of only patient-centered information; and
(e) the needs of special populations.
  To  ensure  public  input, the commissioner shall solicit input from the
  state board of pharmacy  and  the  state  board  of  medicine,  consumer
  groups,  advocates  for  special  populations,  pharmacists, physicians,
  other health care  professionals  authorized  to  prescribe,  and  other
  interested parties.
