Just recently, two organizations have released draft Community Pharmacy Practice Accreditation standards for public comments.
Center for Pharmacy Practice Accreditation
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.
