    Introduction to Pharmacy Brokerage

    Whether you’ve worked your whole career building your business, inherited or purchased from family, or more recently acquired the business, at some point, all owners start to think about the next chapters of their life and selling their business.  The world of pharmacy isn’t much different from other businesses in this sense, and it can be hard for an entrepreneur, visionary, and owner to start forecasting life without the business they’ve given so much of their time, energy, focus, and money.

    How will USP 800 Impact My Retail and LTC Pharmacy

    USP-800 was designed to address the proper handling of hazardous drugs (HDs) in a pharmacy setting. Its guidelines are plainly aimed at promoting patient and worker safety in and around non-sterile and sterile compounding. The first section clearly covers compounding in its purest form. However, when you move into section two, you quickly realize the dispensing of pills, capsules, liquids and manufactured packaged items are also covered by USP-800 Different types of terms are being used to describe types of hazardous drugs, such as antineoplastic, non-antineoplastic, reproductive risk only; dosage form, risk of exposure, packaging, and manipulation. This may sound like a whole lot of mumbo jumbo, but it is the new language of hazardous drugs.

    Keeping in Compliance when Terminating Employees

    We know that no employer likes to terminate an employee; from the business standpoint- there’s an open position that we must re-hire and re-train, it can be taxing on the rest of the staff and difficult for managers to try to work in interviews and screening processes into their already jam packed schedules.  And then there’s the additional emotional tie as well- these folks maybe leaving unexpectedly or under strained situations, and there’s personal friendships have been forged and they’re now kind of dicey, so it can be very difficult. With so many regulations, PHI, and privacy concerns how in the world do you prepare for an employee termination way before it even becomes a necessary discussion?  What should the Employee Handbook include?  What documents do parting employees need to complete?  Are there entities that need notified when employees leave?
