Synopsis:
Handling in Healthcare Settings, and all facilities must be in compliance by July 1st. Now you can find all the answers you need in ASHP's new book, The Chapter <800> Answer Book. Written in plain language in a question-and-answer format by Patricia C. Kienle, RPh, FASHP, Director of Accreditation and Medication Safety at Cardinal Health Innovative Delivery Solutions and former chair of the committee that developed the initial drafts of USP Chapter <800>, the Answer Book is an invaluable resource for any pharmacist, technician, or health professional involved in compounding and handling of hazardous drugs. The Answer Book clearly explains the differences from current practice in every area in one easy-to-use guide. Organized in a format like Chapter <800>, each of the 19 sections begins with an overview of the key issues and requirements of that section, followed by questions and answers covering the specifics of compliance. A glossary of terms, acronyms, and abbreviations, plus the NIOSH List of Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs in Healthcare Settings, adds to the ease of use. The book also includes, as an appendix, the Competency Assessment for Compounding Hazardous Drugs, updated from ASHP's, Competence Assessment Tools for Health-System Pharmacies, Fifth Edition.
