  • Ashp Accreditation Standard for Specialty Pharmacy Practice
    ASHP ACCREDITATION STANDARD FOR SPECIALTY PHARMACY PRACTICE Introduction The ASHP Accreditation Standard for Specialty Pharmacy Practice reflects contemporary best practice for specialty pharmacy. The accreditation process is designed to be easy to understand, flexible, and consultative in nature and can be tailored to different models of care. The accreditation focuses on optimal care delivery through evaluation of: Effective patient care plans to achieve desired medication therapy outcomes Patient-specific assessments and optimal collection, use, and documentation of information Inclusion of specialty drug-specific assessment and disease state-specific assessment requirements Comprehensive review of the patient’s medication history and medication list prior to each fill Documentation of all pharmacy case management activities Patient consultation and education Quality metrics and quality improvement plans This standard combines the Center for Pharmacy Practice Accreditation (CPPA) standards1 with the support of ASHP’s pharmacy expertise and accreditation history. Successful accreditation signifies to payers, patients, and other healthcare providers that the pharmacy provides an advanced level of high- quality, safe, and efficient patient care in a predictable and measurable way. Purpose of the Standard for Specialty Pharmacy Practice Specialty pharmacy generally revolves around the provision of 1) high cost medications with 2) special handling procedures and 3) requiring complex patient care.2 Specialty pharmaceuticals have at least four of the following characteristics: 3 Typically high in cost ($600 or more per month) 1 Version III, February 27, 2019; Standards used with permission of Center for Pharmacy Practice Accreditation (CPPA) 2 Blaser DA, Lewtas AJ, et al.
