Overview / Abstract: |
Compounding is an integral part of pharmacy practice and is essential to the provision of healthcare. In response to numerous tragic patient outcomes, a result of the lack of attention to the main principles of USP , the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy implemented Continuing Education requirements for those pharmacists performing and/or overseeing complex non-sterile compounding. Personnel involved in compounding require additional, specific training and periodic retraining beyond the training needed for routine dispensing duties. A thorough quality assurance program for compounded preparations requires documentation of both training and skill and competency. Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to: Describe the changes between current and proposed USP 795 Determine the assigned beyond use date for a non-sterile preparation based on its dosage form and water activity. Develop a training program for Non-Sterile Compounding personnel. Determine appropriate components that are used in non-sterile compounding. |
