Now Available on CD: Baxa Corporation Exhibitor’s Theatre Offering, 'What’s Next with USP 797?'
Baxa Corporation now has a CD available of the presentation, 'What’s Next with USP 797?' from the annual American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting in Las Vegas this past December. The presentation detailed the changes under discussion and their likely impact on pharmacy practice.
The CD provides pharmacy directors and managers with an overview of the new requirements and the reason for the changes, and includes a discussion of the steps that healthcare providers can take to influence the final revision. Expected to help pharmacy directors and operational managers better understand the requirements for meeting the environmental controls outlined for sterile compounding under the new Chapter, the program includes a discussion of current state for pharmacy compliance and the necessary next steps in moving from gap analysis to action plan for addressing the pharmacy changes to comply with USP 797.
The presenter, Eric Kastango, MBA, RPh, is a Fellow of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and has served on the ASHP's Council of Education Affairs and as a pharmacy surveyor for the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC). Kastango travels across the United States to make professional presentations on a variety of pharmacy practice topics, including USP General Chapter 797 compliance, sterile preparation and pharmacy compounding errors, quality systems and collaborative pharmacy/nursing practice models. He is an elected member of the United States Pharmacopeia Council of Experts (Sterile Compounding Committee).
ASHP is a 30,000-member national organization representing pharmacists practicing in hospitals, homecare, HMOs and alternate-site facilities. The Society provides extensive published and educational resources that help pharmacists improve their professional standards and make the best use of medicines and technology for patient safety and improved outcomes. ASHP holds two annual meetings for members and industry representatives.
To receive a complimentary copy of the CD, please submit your name, title, organization affiliation and mailing address information to: marketing @ baxa.com or 800.567.BAXA (2292).
