Two new Best Practices docs: IV clinics, vendor validation

You know we always want to help you stay at the top of your game. The latest way we’re doing that? Two brand-spankin’-new (and very timely) best-practices guides.

The first is all about IV clinics, aka “med spas,” and it covers everything from the broad compounding and distribution standards to specific issues such as physician and in-office compounding and prep — along with oversight, USP compliance, BUDs, and billing. And more.

The second is all about vendor validation. Whether it’s one of your wholesalers or a delivery of individual ingredients, you want to do the proper due diligence — be sure they’re 100% up to snuff. This is the guide that will show you the best ways to do that.

No, neither tells you how to do your job. They’re there to help you be sure you’re doing your absolute best, and maybe give you a new perspective or a gentle reminder. 

“Best Practices for Compounding in IV Therapy” (8-page PDF) and “Best Practices for Vendor Validation” (11-page PDF) are available as free downloads for all APC members. And don’t forget to check out the rest of our compounding best practices documents at a4pc.org/bestpractices.
