The provision of contracted compounding pharmacy services from off-site providers is a growing model in healthcare. Beginning in the early 1990’s hospitals have moved high volume, fixed formulations to contract compounders (outsourcing providers) rather than compound these preparations themselves. LDT can assist at several junctures in this service paradigm.

First, with our experience in construction, developing and running successful multi-state compounding facilities under both Board of Pharmacy and cGMP regulation, LDT can guide you through the selection process if your organization, health system, or health network is contemplating such a shift in your medication delivery model.

Our services include:

• Development of your selection criteria
• Formulation of your RFP
• On-Site Compliance Visits (both initial and on-going)
• On-going QA Visits and Audits

Secondly, LDT can develop as part of your overall outsourcing strategy, a comprehensive plan to accommodate the remaining compounding demands of your organization once you have moved your fixed formulations off-site. This type of strategy can reduce your organization’s overall expense in complying with Federal, State, and Local regulatory burdens, while still maintaining your organization’s ability to compound on site.

This comprehensive strategy includes:

• Clean Room Design & Contruction Expertise
• Policy & Procedure Review and Development
• On-Going QA Visits and Audits

Finally, if you are part of a larger organization or perhaps have excess capacity in your compounding suite, LDT has unique technologies and procedures to aid you in "in sourcing" your organization’s compounding needs. By centralizing your compounding your organization may benefit from reduced overhead costs, better control, and total autonomy over your processes.

LDT has several business models for "In sourcing" that may apply inside or outside your organization. Please contact us for more specific information regarding this unique opportunity.
