Simplifi+ Pharmacy Compliance solutions from Wolters Kluwer have been a “game-changer” for Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, says Val Lupo, pharmacy operations manager.
In her managerial role at the hospital, Lupo is in charge of cleanroom operations and planning for compliance with USP 795, USP 797, and USP 800.
Data collection for quality assurance is one area, in particular, where Lupo witnesses a time savings with Simplifi 797, the USP compliance solution in the Simplifi+ suite. “There are thousands of points of data that you’re required to document on a daily and a monthly basis,” says Lupo.
“It was so hard to wrangle everything on paper. All told, doing data collection for quality assurance for the hospital would take me three days because I often had to track down what was missing and compile it, and then put it in a chart to present to hospital administration.”
While she describes her previous experience with quality assurance-related data collection as “one of my most dreaded tasks,” with Simplifi 797, the data collection process now takes Lupo about 20 minutes.
