Written by Laura Paxton | Mar 15, 2023 4:08:30 PM
After years of limbo working to meet USP <800> guidelines without a firm deadline, we know you are now hustling to finish up the hazardous drug safety work you’ve started or, in a lot of cases, you’re just beginning your efforts to be ready by November 1, 2023. 

We’ve helped many healthcare systems and hospitals of all sizes work through the USP <800> hazardous drugs safety requirements, and we are now sharing all that we know with you in the USP <800> Preparedness Lunch + Learn webinar series. In each session, we’ll cover a specific requirement and challenge, leaving plenty of time for questions and discussion so you can walk away with the information and tools you need to prepare for USP <800> inspections. 

New USP <800> Updates Coming! 
As if preparing for USP <800> wasn’t already stressful, we’re expecting USP <800> updates on April 5. Don’t worry! Rpharmy’s CEO Laura Paxton and Rpharmy’s USP <800> Subject Matter Expert, Sherlene Christen, will fill you in on all you need to know about the updates when we kick off the Lunch + Learn series on April 6. 

The free, 30-minute webinars will run through May and will cover:
