How do we read the Inspection report?

The VPP inspection report is comprised of information observed and collected during the inspection of your facility. The VPP inspection form includes the following applicable modules: Pharmacy Information, General Pharmacy, Nonsterile <795>, Sterile <797>, and Hazardous Drug Compounding <800>.

Pharmacy Information Module

This module documents the demographic information of your facility, scope of practice, and activities performed.

General Pharmacy Module

This module documents the review of general pharmacy practices and activities. As this is a general inspection, some items may not be required by the state of residence. NABP does not make a determination of “passed” with regard to any specific state regulations.

Hazardous Drug Compounding

This module documents whether the pharmacy’s activities align with USP <800>, as applicable. Each state determines that pharmacy’s compliance based on the observations of the Verified Pharmacy Program (VPP) inspection report and other information. NABP does not make licensure decisions; the boards of pharmacy have authority over pharmacy licensing.

Nonsterile <795> and Sterile <797> Modules

These modules document whether the pharmacy’s activities align with USP <795> and <797>, as applicable. Each state determines compliance based on the observations of the VPP inspection report, among other information that may be considered. NABP does not make licensure decisions; the boards of pharmacy have authority over pharmacy licensing.

Module Layout

The Nonsterile and Sterile Compounding modules are color-coded to assist the inspector during the documentation process. Each module is divided and labeled into sections of differing topics. The sections are further divided using, Questions, Statements, and Informational Questions, to separate differing topics within each section. Observations will be documented as “Yes,” “No,” “N/A,” or “Unknown.” The Notes column may also contain additional details from the inspector.
