This informational reference map is being presented to assist you in understanding your state's laws and regulations relative to USP Chapter 797. You will also find specific information on your state's continuing education (CE) requirements. This research project was conducted by CriticalPoint, LLC and NABP. Please click on your state balloon to read the details of this research. By clicking on any state balloon you are indicating you have read and agreed to the clinicaliq.com Terms of Use. For additional information about this survey please read the information below the map. Note: this information is a starting point for analysis, check directly with your state board before proceeding with any project, to make sure you have the latest or pending data from that state.

To use the map move your mouse over the state you want to view and click on the colored balloon which will display a summary screen showing your boards contact information, link to the state’s website, state’s 797 Compliance status and a link to the detailed research information which includes information on license renewal requirements.

The three status levels are Direct (green), Indirect (yellow), or No Reference (red). If the state level is Direct (green) then the laws and regulation are harmonized with USP Chapter 797. If the state level is Indirect (yellow) then the laws and regulations do not specifically site USP Chapter 797 but there are laws and regulations for Sterile Compounding and/or Parenteral Nutrition. If the state level is No Reference (red) then there are currently no laws or regulations referencing USP Chapter 797 or Sterile Compounding/Parenteral Nutrition.
