OPEN Resources... for Oncology Pharmacists and Their Team

Presentations

About a hundred oncology pharmacists, administrators, and others attended ACCC’s Oncology Pharmacy Education Network (OPEN) in St. Louis in 2010. Among the issues examined was white bagging, the practice of having patient-specific medications or supplies delivered directly to the practice setting (hospital outpatient infusion center or physician office) by specialty pharmacies for use by a specific patient. Under white bagging, practice sites lose the opportunity to bill for the product while retaining the responsibility for storing and handling. Practice sites are responsible for the costs of ancillary meds and drug administration and only some of these are reimbursable.
