Abstract
Medical facilities in the United States are faced with the challenge of meeting the December 2019 requirements of U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention General Chapter <800> (USP <800>) Hazardous Drugs-Handling in Healthcare Settings. A 300-bed hospital in western Washington formed a practice improvement group to address the requirements of USP <800>. The development of a hazardous drug control program at the hospital not only met the requirements of USP <800> but also helped staff members understand what hazardous drugs are and the safety measures that are necessary when handling them.
