This is the best training yet to get your HD list in alignment with USP 800! https://lnkd.in/g96YtZyi Need a concise, yet complete training on how to update your HD list and AORs? Watch this and download the slides below. Fred Massoomi, Pharm.D, BCSCP, FASHP really distilled it down. By now everyone knows about the NIOSH update and probably has attended at least 1 or 2 or maybe even 4 webinars on it. USP covered it. NIOSH covered it. Pharmacy Stars alone has done three (with thousands of healthcare facilities represented). While not focused on the broader issue of your HD list, an absolutely spectacular and very specific presentation in ectopic pregnancy and methotrexate by Kevin Hansen, PharmD, MS, BCSCP, Michael Freudiger, PharmD, APh, BCPS, BCSCP and Fred Massoomi, Pharm.D, BCSCP, FASHP and it received nearly 100% positive ratings. Replay here https://lnkd.in/gK2Gj4Mk That stated, if you haven't seen one of Pharmacy Stars or want another very clear, concise training.

In this month's issue of SCQM (Sterile Compounding Quality Matters), Christine Hong writes about Building a Strong Foundation: The Importance of Training Content for New Compounder. We especially like "Interactive activities like this provide valuable opportunities for learners to practice decision-making in the context of aseptic technique, ensuring they are equipped to handle challenges that arise in the compounding space. Trainers should guide learners through these exercises, helping them develop a mindset that prioritizes patient safety and sterility while ensuring that they can make informed decisions, even when faced with obstacles. A great approach to this is to seek a training program that has case-based learning embedded, and to also incorporate real cases found at your facility and possibly ones that triggered corrective action plans into your training program. This is an opportunity to instill a culture where compounders feel safe, confident and comfortable questioning and challenging each other when things do not happen the way they are supposed to. For example, does a compounder recognize if a teammate is not following good material disinfection practices? Would they know what to do next?" Download and read.
