Have a PharmE® consultant assess your organization’s hazardous pharmaceutical waste management practices, policies, and procedures to develop a gap analysis and to determine your level of risk relative to the federal EPA Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations and the regulations of your state environmental protection agency.

Your one day PharmE® On-Site Risk Assessment includes:

• A 90 minute seminar for all relevant managers;
• A walk-through of the following areas to determine current pharmaceutical waste management practices: Pharmacy, Oncology, Cardiac Care, Med Surg, ER, OR, Environmental Services, Safety;

"The pharmaceutical waste review provided by PharmEcology Associates saved our staff a great deal of time and effort and provided an external audit for our recent JCAHO accreditation survey. We now have a blueprint for insuring our hazardous waste management system for pharmaceutical waste is in compliance with state and federal regulations."

Steven D. Kastendieck, R.Ph. , MS
Pharmacy Operations Manager
Abbott Northwestern Hospital
Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Using what PharmEcology showed us, and with consultation we received after the report, we were able to develop a pilot process, underway at this time, to capture and separate pharmaceutical waste. The background work performed by PharmEcology saved us scores of man hours of detail work and guesswork, allowing us to implement our pilot processes in a time frame to demonstrate our commitment to this solution to environmental pollution. In addition, our subscription to the PharmE® Waste Wizard allows us web access to a resource that quickly confirms the published hazard rating of any pharmaceutical about which we have questions."
