Pharmacy OneSource Announces Free Webinar on Clarifying Training Requirements of USP 797

Online, January 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Bellevue, WA - Pharmacy OneSource, creator of the Simplifi 797 quality assurance web application, is pleased to announce a complimentary webinar presented by industry expert Eric S. Kastango, MBA, RPh, FASHP, CEO of Clinical IQ, on "Clarifying Training Requirements of USP 797."

A critical element of compliance to USP 797 involves training and competency around sterile compounding. There are often questions about how to ensure those who perform sterile compounding are trained to meet the Chapter requirements. While each facility is different in terms of work streams and processes, the underlying concepts around training and competency are the same, and include several critical areas that should be considered regardless of facility type.

During this webinar, Eric will present the rationale for the training guidelines within the chapter, offer some practical advice on evaluating current training activities, and discuss critical elements of any training program.
