The Center for Pharmacy Practice Accreditation (CPPA), a joint
initiative by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) seeks your input on
draft standards for community pharmacy practice accreditation (read
press release). These standards will serve as the basis for
community pharmacy practice accreditation and are designed to both
facilitate the provision of quality pharmacy services to patients and
stimulate and recognize innovative community pharmacy practices.
Comments will be accepted from July 1 to August 15,
2012 via the
online comment submission form.
