Bartell Drugs receives The Compliance Team accreditation

SPRING HOUSE, Pa. — Bartell Drugs was recently recognized by accreditation organization The Compliance team for its services and medical equipment. All 64 of Bartell Drug’s stores were awarded The Compliance Team’s Community Pharmacy accreditation and its Exemplary Provider status for DMEPOS (Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies). Additionally its location in Renton, Wash. was accredited for its non-sterile compounding. 

 

“Bartell Drugs throughout their organization have done a terrific job. They are tremendous examples of safe, honest and caring providers and most deserving of this recognition,” TCT President and CEO Sandra C. Canally said. 

 

To earn its accreditations, Bartell Drugs completed The Compliance Team’s series of expert-led implementation webinars. Afterwards, they had to achieve scores of 90% or better during unannounced company-wide validation visits.  In addition, Bartell’s set in place fraud and abuse awareness safeguards as well as a corporate quality improvement program. They also had to upload satisfaction reports to TCT’s database, which benchmarks the chain against its peers. 

 

“We are honored to have the nation’s oldest family-owned pharmacy chain become part of The Compliance Team’s League of Exemplary Providers,” Billy Chow, Bartell Drugs’ VP pharmacy operations and clinical services said. “We commend all of our staff for their dedication and daily efforts to provide quality patient care.”
