The new USP <797> standards impose stricter requirements for hospital-based compounding pharmacies, including personnel training, cleaning, garb, and microbiological testing. Navigating these complexities can be challenging, but partnering with an expert like Omnicell can help health systems achieve compliance while optimizing efficiency and patient safety.
This article covers three key areas for USP <797> compliance:

- Balancing beyond-use date (BUD) assignments to maximize BUDs while minimizing costs
- Adopting a flexible approach to adapt the compounding program
