Hoye's Pharmacy Earns PCAB Accreditation!
Hoye’s Pharmacy proudly announces that it has received full accreditation status through the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB). Hoye’s Pharmacy is the seventh (7th) pharmacy in the state of Florida to earn the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board Seal of Accreditation and one of only 100 nationwide pharmacies to earn this distinctive accreditation.
“Our new PCAB Accreditation status and our designation as a PCAB Accredited™ compounding pharmacy lets the public know that Hoye’s Pharmacy ranks among the best for quality and safety,” said owner Robert S. Hoye, R.Ph, F.I.A.C.P. “The PCAB Seal of Accreditation shows our dedication to protecting our patients by practicing safe, high-quality compounding.”
With the high volume of prescriptions that are compounded each year, there has been a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While compounding pharmacy is regulated by the state, PCAB Accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy is meeting the highest quality and safety standards.
To earn PCAB Accreditation, Hoye’s Pharmacy had to complete an extensive application, document its written policies and provide an analysis of its quality control procedures that were reviewed by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board and some of the leading figures in the field of compounding. Next, the pharmacy opened its doors for an extensive on-site inspection led by compounding experts. Only when these stringent evaluations were completed did the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board officially grant Hoye’s Pharmacy the PCAB Seal of Accreditation and the right to use the designation “PCAB Accredited™ compounding pharmacy.”
“We are honored by this new accreditation. It confirms our commitment to providing safe, personalized solutions that meet the medical needs of our patients – and the needs of the healthcare providers in our community who rely on us for these specialized medicines,” said Robert S. Hoye, owner and pharmacist. “We believe this will further strengthen the bond of trust between our pharmacy and the Tampa Bay community.”
