https://www.learningexpressce.com/assets/ClientID_153/Kpic%20logo.png
 
Practical Compliance with USP Chapters <797> and <800>

Thursday, April 29 - Friday, April 30, 2021
Held Virtually via Zoom!
 
Registration deadline:  Thursday, April 22 at 4:00 pm
 
 
Course Description:  The course is geared towards individuals who are responsible for ensuring compliance with the USP Compounding Standards.  The training is based on USP 797 (2019) version and current best practices. Where applicable, the training program provides a comparison of the differences between the currently enforceable version of USP 797 (2008) and the (2019) version whose publication was postponed due to appeals. The course focuses on the practical application of the standards from the revised USP <797> and the new USP <800>. 
 
Target Audience:  The target audience includes pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and others who are practicing in a sterile compounding environment and/or who are designated as responsible for the performance of a sterile compounding facility. Participants who satisfactorily complete the program will receive a certificate of completion as well as 16 hours of live ACPE-accredited continuing pharmacy education credit.
 
Location of Event:  The program will be offered virtually.

The compounding pharmacy has an extensive environmental monitoring plan and performs its own end product sterility testing in compliance with USP <71>. The compounding pharmacy also repackages oral medications to support the health system. Before opening the compounding pharmacy, Richard was the Pharmacy Manager of the Greenville Memorial Hospital Pharmacy. In that role, he transitioned the pharmacy from a completely manual distribution system to a fully automated barcode assisted dispensing system. Richard was also responsible for overseeing Omnicell medication cabinets; the Alaris drug library, corporate compliance, and controlled substance diversion monitoring.
