[Pharmwaste] Question

[Gayle Gray]

I don't know if you have to start a new volume for this question, but could
you please list it. It would be very helpful.

Thanks

Help!



Research has lead me to the understanding of how complicated pharmaceutical
disposal is.  Below is a list of the different agencies that I know of that
have “their finger in the pie” of pharmaceutical waste.


Does anyone know which rules and regulations facilities have to assure that
they are in full compliance with more than others? In other words if they
work to be in full compliance, for example, with local and Board of Pharmacy
rules and regulations would they be safe
from repercussion and consequences from the other governing agencies? This
is considering that the facilities hope that the rules and regulations for
their local and board of pharmacy rules and regulations would be the same of
more strict than the others, therefore if it complies with one it should
comply with all?

Does anyone know of other agencies that need to be on the list?  I just
don’t want to miss any of the issues that each one addresses.


DEA

RCRA

DEQ

EPA

FDA

DOT

Hazardous Waste

US Post Office

Boards of Pharmacy/Medicine/Nursing

Boards of Veterinarian Medicine and anything surrounding Veterinarian
medicine.

JCAHO

State Survey for Health Care Facilities (will have tags that they will
survey for pharmaceutical waste processes and documentation)

Rules governing Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Centers, Home
Health, Hospice that state how medication must be disposed of.



Thanks for the assistance
