Join me to learn about the best practices to clean and maintain a sterile compounding suite
Join me three times during the NHIA conference! I’ll be answering questions, talking about cleaning, and sharing thoughts on EM.
Wonder why your compounders don’t conform to your best practices? Join me to learn the reasons and solutions!
This presentation will discuss how to overcome the challenges associated with training both pharmacy and non-pharmacy cleaning personnel, explain how to build a training program that will result in a competent cleaning team, and include a review of an actual training program, highlighting critical elements.
Hazardous drugs are those that could harm care givers. How can we protect ourselves while still providing compassionate care to our home care patients? This session will provide information that focuses on practical approaches to protecting health care professionals from risk.
Cleaning is crucial to maintain control of the compounding suite. This session will provide SCC participants with examples and best practices for cleaning, disinfecting, deactivation, and decontamination.
NHIA announced the recipients of the Exhibitor Innovation Award and Outstanding Abstract Achievement Awards. We also saw several examples of how important it is to make every moment count and how this can impact the lives of your colleagues and especially patients. Attendees engaged in all-new Interactive Workshops in the afternoon and closed the day with an event to honor members of the industry at Banger’s on historic Rainey Street.
Monday morning began with a brand-new flow for the NHIA Annual Conference with a high-octane networking breakfast before the General Session. We were fortunate to hear from 9th Secretary of Veterans Affairs David J. Shulkin, M.D., who shared lessons learned during his time in public service leading the largest integrated health care system in the country.
Don’t believe everything that you see, hear, or read. Sterile compounding myths persist because people adopt a “that’s the way we always do it” attitude. Dan Kyes, CPhT, CSPT, BCSCPT, New England Life Care, and Abby Roth, CMQ/OE, Pure Microbiology dispelled a variety of common myths in home infusion compounding at NHIA 2024.
NHIA 2024 convened the largest gathering dedicated to the home and alternate site infusion in Austin for the 5-day event and shattered previous participation records. The event saw more than 1,600 industry professionals register to attend, including over 530 first time attendees.
