/24-7PressRelease/ - BELLEVUE, WA, May 08, 2008 -- Pharmacy OneSource, Inc., software as a service provider to more than 1,000 hospitals in the United States, announced today that BJC Medical Center has adopted Simplifi 797 to simplify meeting all of the requirements of USP Chapter 797 for compounding sites throughout the hospital.
In a rural health facility such as BJC Medical Center, the responsibilities of each pharmacy personnel are expanded to include the clinical, administrative, staffing and physical aspects of the profession. Although these responsibilities must be shared, the quality of each is expected to be uncompromised.
"Simplifi 797 provides our department with a way to keep real-time QA data for review without dedicating additional resources to the task," said Michael Azzolin, Director of Pharmacy at BJC Medical Center. "The efficiency and effectiveness of this system have made the transition to USP-797 compliance effortless."
Simplifi 797 is a web-based application that automates, integrates and streamlines the quality activities and documentation required to meet USP Chapter 797. Simplifi 797 manages task scheduling and monitoring and automates the reporting of exceptions and compliance.
"BJC Medical Center has taken a great step forward in protecting their patients with the adoption of Simplifi 797," said Keith Streckenbach, Chief Strategy Office of Pharmacy OneSource. "Well-documented processes carried out by trained personnel with ongoing quality monitoring have been proven to reduce the likelihood of contaminated medication."
