PROPOSAL: To reaffirm, modify and reaffirm, or delete CSHP professional policies that are five (5) years or older

SUBMITTED BY: Board of Directors

DATE: October 4, 2017

Situation

1.  CSHP Professional Policies have been catalogued since 1980.

2.  One of the duties of Board of Directors is to review any professional policy that is 5 years old or older. For this review, each professional policy that is five years old was reviewed for applicability and current relevance and recommendations to reaffirm, modify, and reaffirm, or delete were outlined.

3.  While analyzing professional policies, ASHP’s professional policy catalogue was checked for any policies that relate to the topic.

TARGET

1.  A mechanism exists to review periodically CSHP policies for their continued relevance and applicability (CSHP Board of Directors action is generally guided by existing policy.)

2.  CSHP’s professional policies accurately reflect current practice and professional standards.

3.  The annual review process of professional policy is continued as an opportunity for CSHP to reflect the most current and contemporary positions on pharmacy practice and organizational guidelines for our members.
