The Accreditation Commission for Health Care is launching a mail order pharmacy accreditation service with standards that meet the specific needs of pharmacies that want to highlight their dedication to a higher level of patient care and safety.
Pharmacies that undergo this accreditation demonstrate compliance with standards that address pharmacy licensure, shipping methodology, patient and employee safety, prescription intake and review, patient records and communication, personnel training, organizational oversight, and ongoing quality improvement.
“This accreditation will allow a pharmacy to demonstrate to their customers, insurance providers, and regulatory agencies that they have quality systems in place to accurately and safely deliver medications to patients,” said Jon Pritchett, ACHC program director.
ACHC offers a broad suite of pharmacy compliance solutions, including accreditation programs for specialty, infusion, long-term care, and sterile/non-sterile compounding services.
