The University awarded a contract for compound total parenteral nutrition solution(TPN)..
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
Hospital Pharmacy Services is not currently able to compound total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions in-house due to its cleanroom being renovated. As a result, pharmacy needed to outsource TPN preparation until its cleanroom renovation was completed. CAPS was chosen as the 503B outsourcing facility as it is located in Chicago, approximately 20 minutes from the hospital. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires compounding companies to register with them as a 503B outsourcing facility. CAPS is State-licensed and FDA-registered, CAPS pharmacies deliver solutions from more locations than any other national compounder. TPN solutions must be prepared for patients on a daily basis, with the formulation frequently changing from day to day. Hence, we needed an outsourcing facility that we could easily transmit TPN orders to and which was local so as to ensure that delivery occurred in the correct timeframe on a daily basis. CAPS fully met our needs.
