Regulatory Inspections
The Joint Commission (TJC) and state boards of
pharmacy continue to demonstrate a strong interest in <797> compliance. Over half of all facilities (53%) report being surveyed by TJC within the past two years, and 58% of these report being asked about <797> compliance, despite the fact that only 4% of facilities had a pharmacist as their TJC surveyor. While compounding-related citations remain very low, nearly one third of facilities report having a patient incident involving a compounding error in the previous five years.
