RxCELLENCE SPOTLIGHT

Shining the Spotlight on Connecticut's Pharmacy Professionals

Quality Assurance Team - Yale New Haven Health System

Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) follows a system-based model of approach to address the Pharmacy Department’s compliance with USP <797> & <800> as it pertains to pharmacy personnel & contracted cleaning services staff competencies.

This model entails a Sterile Compounding Quality Assurance (QA) Team dedicated to tracking, assigning, scheduling & administering competencies, evaluating results, and performing remediation training, as applicable. The QA Team consists of a pharmacy manager, a pharmacy technician manager, and four pharmacy technicians. It supports YNHHS’ 500+ pharmacy personnel and 60+ contracted cleaning services staff across twenty-two Sterile Compounding Complexes (SCC) stretching over Connecticut and Rhode Island. This equates to over 900+ competencies a year.

The QA Technicians are trained, validated, and proficient with the evaluations they administer and use competency assessment evaluation forms to execute standardized unbiased assessments. They also complete unscheduled observations of SCC activities to highlight good practices, identify and correct deficiencies, offer constructive feedback, and provide real-time notifications to Designated Pharmacists for the prevention of reoccurrence.

The QA team upholds the system’s standards of professional behavior and contributes to its commitment to organizational resilience by utilizing champion behavior guidelines to mentor with 200% accountability. The Sterile Compounding Quality Assurance Team is a valuable asset to YNHHS and strives to not only meet minimum requirements but also encourage best practice standards.
