Sterile and nonsterile compounding records were evaluated using both electronic data and ethnographic observations over two 90-day periods. The workflow before and after implementation was assessed for percentage of ancillary tasks completed, timeliness of completion, percentage of storage area inspections completed, and time required to document compliance activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis indicated that while sites B and C saw significant improvement in on-time completion of ancillary activities, site A did not. Site B increased its on-time completion from 42.3% of all activities to 79.1%, while site C increased the completion rate from 72.1% to 98.1% (P &amp;lt; 0.0001 for both comparisons). Similarly, sites B and C increased the percentage of completed medication storage area inspections both overall and across the majority of evaluated subcategories. Timely completion of inspections remained relatively consistent at all 3 sites; site A saw a slight increase. Finally, the total time that staff used to document ancillary compounding activities declined by 6 to 92\u2005seconds at each of the 3 sites during the postimplementation period.<\/jats:p>\n
