Elevating Compliance: Navigating USP <797> with Technology and Standardization

Health systems have worked diligently to ensure that they are in compliance with the revised USP Chapter <797> requirements. This educational activity will demonstrate how health systems of any size can perform a gap analysis of its facility, personnel, policy and procedure development and review, environmental monitoring, and accreditation. Recognizing the important safety features of technologies and standardization of IV compounding, the education will also address how they might be implemented in small, medium, and large institutions.
