National Home Infusion Company Option Care Receives Accreditation from the PCAB.BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Oct. 3, 2017 — Option Care Enterprises, Inc., one of the leading providers of home and alternate treatment site infusion therapy services, is the first national home infusion company to achieve accreditation at each of its compounding pharmacies by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB). This ensures they meet or exceed the most rigorous standards.

The accreditation verifies all Option Care cleanroom pharmacies — in which sterile compounding of intravenous (IV) medications for specific physician orders is performed — meet the highest-level standards, far and above what is required in most states. A service of Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), PCAB accreditation offers the most comprehensive compliance solution in the industry based on more than 40 sterile compounding standards in the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) guidelines, or USP 797.

Ранее Option Care уже прошла аккредитацию ACHC, присуждаемую организациям здравоохранения, отвечающим нормативным требованиям и стандартам аккредитации. Теперь все наши производственные аптеки прошли аккредитацию PCAB, подтверждая наше стремление к высокому качеству работы и соответствию наивысшим стандартам.

“PCAB accreditation of all of our compounding pharmacies provides an objective, external validation of our commitment to quality,” said Brenda Wright, Vice President of Clinical Services, Option Care. “Going above and beyond what is required is what we do. It’s how we approach our clinical services from the perspective of total quality management. This accreditation speaks to our pledge to drive continuous quality improvement and provide optimal outcomes for our patients.”

Аккредитация PCAB — это комплексный аудит аптеки, который проводится независимым экспертом на месте с целью проверки соответствия требованиям к смешиванию нестерильных и стерильных лекарственных препаратов, предусмотренным фармакопейными статьями USP 795 и USP 797. Организация ACHC отмечает, что аккредитация PCAB в сочетании со стремлением аптеки постоянно работать над качеством услуг, значительно сокращает риски, связанные с использованием составных препаратов, и подтверждает намерение соответствовать высочайшим отраслевым стандартам качества и безопасности.

“We are thrilled that Option Care has chosen to leverage the breadth of pharmacy accreditation programs ACHC offers,” said José Domingos, CEO of ACHC. “This demonstrates a commitment to delivering quality care for patients.”

До аккредитации PCAB все корпоративные аптеки и три специализированных фармацевтических центра Option Care прошли аккредитацию для специализированных аптек URAC с высочайшим баллом 100 %.

Об организации ACHC

ACHC is a non-profit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. ACHC is the provider’s choice for compliance solutions because of its personal Account Advisors, relevant and realistic standards, competitive pricing, and a friendly, consultative approach to accreditation. Beginning July 2014, PCAB became a service of ACHC, offering programs for non-sterile (ref. USP 795) and sterile (ref. USP 797) compounding services. PCAB assesses the compounding process based on a specific set of standards that concentrate on the quality and consistency of compounded medications while incorporating performance improvement and ongoing compliance requirements. PCAB Accreditation reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.
