How to Read the Accreditation Report Summary

The Compounding Scope of Practice Report provides several bits of information regarding the pharmacy's accreditation. It indicates the accreditation status of the pharmacy. In addition, the Compounding Scope of Practice Report gives the date on which the pharmacy was first accredited, the date of the last review (a documentation and self-inspection annual review); the date of the last survey (an in-pharmacy inspection); and the next scheduled review and survey.

Also provided is information regarding the pharmacy's compounding scope of practice. Every person using this Accreditation Report should review the Compounding Scope of Practice Report and the explanation page. The reader should review the scope of compounding practiced by the pharmacy on the date of the last in-pharmacy survey. Not every pharmacy will, or should, practice all scopes of compounding. Many pharmacies specialize in one or two areas of practice. Some pharmacy practice in all four areas or scopes of compounding.

A pharmacy may change its scope of compounding after the survey. If it does so, it must report the changes must be in accordance with PCAB Rules to which the pharmacy agreed at the time it applied for accreditation. The rule governing changes, states:
