Tackle USP 797 Sterile Compounding Updates

Your hospital will update sterile compounding policies and procedures to reflect the latest USP <797> standards.

In 2019, USP released updates to their 2008 chapter of <797>.  But concerns and questions led to postponing the updates.  Some hospitals adopted 2019 guidance...while others stuck with 2008.

The new standards replace both versions...and become official on November 1, 2023.  But state boards may choose a different date...and The Joint Commission plans to enforce them on January 1, 2024.
