ACHC announces partnership with IACP

The Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) on Wednesday announced a newly formed partnership with the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP).

“IACP is proud to partner with Accreditation Commission for Health Care,” IACP President Dale Coker said. “We deeply value the role accreditation plays in the development of a compounding pharmacy. Over the last several years, IACP has appreciated its long-standing relationship with PCAB, which now has become a part of ACHC "

IACP is an association that represents more than 4,000 pharmacists, technicians, students and members of the compounding community who focus on the specialty practice of pharmacy compounding. The new partnership will enable IACP to provide its compounding pharmacy members with special pricing for ACHC’s nationally recognized PCAB accreditation and resources.

Through PCAB accreditation, pharmacies can exhibit their commitment to delivering the highest quality medications and services through fulfilling national regulations and industry best practices.

“IACP plays a significant role in supporting compounding pharmacies and we believe this partnership will enhance the ability for ACHC to offer relevant compliance solutions and educational resources to compounding pharmacies,” Matt Hughes, ACHC director of business development and customer service, said. "ACHC is eager to begin growing our new partnership with IACP and we look forward to the many future opportunities our organizations have ahead of us.”
