Practice Pearls for Line Pharmacists and Technicians: USP 795, 797, and 800 | EduCon 2024 (On-demand bundle)

Overview

On November 1, 2023, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) published quality standards for non-sterile compounding (USP <795>) and sterile compounding (USP <797>). This brought hazardous drug compounding (USP <800>) to the forefront as well. Combined these three USP chapters make up the standards of practice for compounding in the United States and beyond.

This webinar explores the infrastructure and nuance to these standards bringing clarity and precision to the manner in which compounding needs to be practiced. However, it is not without the need for professional judgement, evidence-based decision-making, and reliance on additional USP chapters that the compounding community must move forward. 

Join us as we talk to the responsibilities outlined, the quality assurance and quality control needed, and the standard operating procedures necessary to practice compounding as we endeavor to bring an explanation and clarity to these new standards of practice.
