This webinar is brought to you by the Children’s Hospital Affinity Group of the In-House Counsel and Teaching Hospitals and Academic Medical Centers Practice Groups and is co-sponsored by the Hospitals and Health Systems and Life Sciences Practice Groups.
Description
This webinar will describe the new drug compounding law passed by Congress last year, the safety issues that precipitated it, and the timeline for implementation. Hospitals often depend on customized medications, particularly for sterile injectable products and for non-sterile drugs for special populations, such as customized dosages for children, infants, neonates, and geriatric patients. Hospitals sometimes compound medications in their own pharmacies, or rely on outside sources for their compounded medications. In 2012, an outbreak of fungal meningitis and other infections among patients who received a contaminated version of a compounded steroid injection prompted Congress to clarify federal and state oversight of drug compounding.
This webinar will analyze what the changes in the Drug Quality and Security Act mean for hospitals, both for their own drug compounding and their acquisition of compounded drugs from outside pharmacies and outsourcers. Additionally, the presenters will discuss strategies that health systems can employ to ensure the safety and effectiveness of compounded drug preparations.
