The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists will discuss the ongoing meningitis outbreak and highlight ways to prevent similar future events, according to Med Page Today. The session at the group’s annual meeting will feature an FDA speaker, a representative of ASHP and a member of the National Association of Boards of Pharamacy.
The society has already put checklists in place for sterile compounding services to avoid contamination, such as occurred at the New England Compounding Center with its epidural steroid injections.
