A compounded preparation is needed when

no commercially manufactured medication is

available to adequately address a patient’s

medical needs. Among the greatest therapeutic

challenges faced by both patients and caregivers

is the treatment required by individuals who

have a terminal condition. It is difficult to find

evidence-based studies on the management

of end-of-life situations because each patient’s

medical case is unique. In addition, maintaining

a controlled environment for such patients is

difficult. End-of-life care is multifaceted; it does

not lend itself to “cookbook medicine,” and

people with a terminal illness are among the

most vulnerable patients in need of effective and

compassionate care. When those patients suffer

in spite of commercially available therapies,

the innovation and experience of clinicians

and compounding pharmacists can often yield

a solution to the most challenging treatment

problems. In this presentation, we discuss some

of the most often prescribed compounds used

in outpatient hospice and palliative care to

treat common conditions (wounds, pain and

dyspnea, intractable cough, nausea and vomiting,

depression, bladder infections caused by an

indwelling catheter, rectal pain). The effectiveness

of the preparations we describe is substantiated

in the medical literature and by our personal

experience, which together encompasses nearly

100 years of clinical practice. The medications

described in this report have been shown over

time to be effective.

What Hospitals Need to Know about the New Drug Compounding Law

 


Tuesday, July 29, 20142:00-3:30 pm Eastern (90 minutes) (1:00-2:30 pm Central; 12:00-1:30 pm Mountain; 11:00 am-12:30 pm Pacific; 10:00-11:30 am Alaska; 8:00-9:30 am Hawaii)
 
This webinar is brought to you by the Children’s Hospital Affinity Group of the In-House Counsel and Teaching Hospitals and Academic Medical Centers Practice Groups and is co-sponsored by the Hospitals and Health Systems and Life Sciences Practice Groups.
Description         
This webinar will describe the new drug compounding law passed by Congress last year, the safety issues that precipitated it, and the timeline for implementation. Hospitals often depend on customized medications, particularly for sterile injectable products and for non-sterile drugs for special populations, such as customized dosages for children, infants, neonates, and geriatric patients. Hospitals sometimes compound medications in their own pharmacies, or rely on outside sources for their compounded medications. In 2012, an outbreak of fungal meningitis and other infections among patients who received a contaminated version of a compounded steroid injection prompted Congress to clarify federal and state oversight of drug compounding.  
This webinar will analyze what the changes in the Drug Quality and Security Act mean for hospitals, both for their own drug compounding and their acquisition of compounded drugs from outside pharmacies and outsourcers. Additionally, the presenters will discuss strategies that health systems can employ to ensure the safety and effectiveness of compounded drug preparations.
