Immunization Certification Ensures Safety and Quality for Covid-19
March 2021, Spring House, Pennsylvania – The Compliance Team, Inc., (TCT) a Medicare-approved national healthcare accreditation organization, recently launched its Exemplary Provider® Immunization Certification program, with emphasis on COVID-19 Vaccination.
TCT’s Immunization Certification supports CDC’s COVID-19 requirements for both pharmacy network administrators as well as independent pharmacies, reassuring pharmacies’ patients, payers, and employees that their facility and patient safety and quality standards have been verified and validated by a trusted and nationally recognized third party.
The standards for the new certification program are derived from the standards that define The Compliance Team’s long-standing Exemplary Provider® accreditation programs. Certification includes but is not limited to dealing with drug storage and handling, needle safety, drug interaction, and adherence to vaccine schedules.
Immunization Certification is a stand-alone program, so a pharmacy need not be accredited by The Compliance Team for any other service. Once a pharmacy has completed the program, it will receive Exemplary Provider designation. The certification is valid for 2 years.
