PCAB ACCREDITATION

Why is Accreditation Important?

Compounding medications is an integral part of the practice of pharmacy, and with the demand of patient-specific compounded medications increasing each year, there is a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While compounding pharmacy is regulated by the state, accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy is meeting the highest quality and safety standards.

Pharmacists also want to give patients and prescribers a way to select a quality pharmacy. The pharmacies seeking PCAB™ Accreditation want to be able to demonstrate that they are “the best.”

The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board Process

The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) is a not-for-profit corporation formed and lead by eight national pharmacy organizations that recognized the need for a national standards organization for compounding pharmacy. Together, these leading organizations developed the industry principles, policies and standards for the practice of compounding pharmacy, as well as the PCAB Accreditation criteria and processes.

Compliance with the industry’s highest standards

Pharmacies seeking accreditation must submit documented proof that they meet PCAB quality standards, submit their policies and procedures for regular review, and open their doors to regular physical inspections.

PCAB was founded by the American College of Apothecaries, American Pharmacists Association, International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations, National Association of Boards of Pharmacy National Community Pharmacists Association, National Home Infusion Association and United States Pharmacopeia.
