Safe medication administration
Safe medication administration
Safe medication administration begins in the pharmacy. Pharmacy technicians are involved in the process of compounding sterile preparations for patient use. In this project, you are responsible for performing aseptic technique properly in order to ensure patient safety. It is essential in pharmacy that we are trained and follow protocol. Aseptic compounding that lacks standards of care or a quality assurance process, compromises patient safety.
USP Chapter <797>, Pharmaceutical Compounding: Sterile Preparations became official on January 1, 2004 with several revisions that followed and the most recent in 2008. This created standards to follow and quality assurance procedures all with the end goal being patient safety. Currently USP Chapter <800> is being developed which will expand the current guidelines to include hazardous materials handling.
