“At Duke University Hospital we struggled with meeting USP 797 documentation requirements in a consistent and standardized fashion across the enterprise,” said Michael DeCoske, PharmD, Pharmacy Administrative Services Coordinator at Duke University Hospital. “Simplifi797 gives us a one-stop dashboard for all documentation requirements. Its diverse functionality allows us to customize to our site-specific practice.”  

Simplifi 797 is a web-based application that automates, integrates and streamlines the quality activities and documentation required to meet USP Chapter 797. Simplifi 797 manages task scheduling for environmental monitoring and automates the reporting of exceptions and compliance.
