The United States Pharmacopeia organization, also known as USP, is the only independent, not-for-profit, non-governmental pharmacopeia in the world. It is a volunteer organization that was founded in 1820. USP is global and has offices in China, India, Brazil, Ethiopia, Ghana and Switzerland. It provides a global compendium of over 4,500 monographs for prescription and OTC drugs, dietary supplements, and medical devices. The USP also establishes standards for the production of drugs and supplements. One of those newly established standards is USP <800>. The USP <800> was published to help ensure a quality environment and protect pharmacists and technicians compounding Hazardous Drugs. There exists a growing evidence highlights acute and chronic health effects can occur due to occupational exposure to over 200 Hazardous Drugs. The standard was published 9/29/17 to become official on 7/1/18. Deadline has been extended multiple times, with current deadline for hospitals to be compliant is 12/1/19.
