Outsourcing Anesthesia Preparation, Part I: Quality and Safety |
The economic downturn that has gripped the United States since early 2008 has placed added pressure on hospital administrators and medical staff already concerned about issues of cost containment and fiscal responsibility within health care. This, coupled with recent changes to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter <797> regarding compounded sterile preparations (CSPs), has led many health systems to consider outsourcing these functions.
The first installment of a 2-part series, this monograph will focus on how outsourcing compounding services can assist health systems in meeting the requirements set by USP Chapter <797>, allowing them to better reach quality and patient safety standards. It also will provide health-system administrators, pharmacists, nurses, anesthesiologists, and physicians with the information needed to facilitate the outsourcing decision-making process.
