Pharmacy Policies & Procedures
Policies & Procedures (SOPs)
At Empire Pharmacy Consultants (EPC), we stay current with changes in pharmacy practice and regulatory requirements. Our policies and procedures, or standard operating procedures (SOPs), are regularly reviewed and updated throughout the year to reflect the most relevant and compliant standards required by pharmacies.
Pharmacies are expected to review and update their policies and procedures at least annually. In addition, Boards of Pharmacy require every pharmacy to maintain a complete and up-to-date set of SOPs as part of ongoing compliance.
If your pharmacy does not have a current set of policies and procedures, or if your existing SOPs need to be updated, EPC can assist.
We provide customized SOPs for:
- Retail pharmacies
- Specialty pharmacies
- Non-sterile compounding pharmacies
- Sterile compounding pharmacies
All policies are tailored to meet state-specific requirements, ensuring alignment with the regulations applicable to your location.
Our consultants work closely with you to develop or update your SOPs so they are accurate, complete, and compliant with current standards.
What Pharmacy Owners Say
"I have worked with at least eight different agencies in the last nine years. Of all of those agencies, I feel that only three have serviced my account properly and the staff cared about my needs. With most other firms, the customer service mentality does not permeate throughout the organization. This is the key to EPC’s success. It has become apparent to me that the service and values demonstrated by your staff comes from the top. I firmly believe that you hire and maintain employees that share your service mentality and values. Your entire organization has shown itself to be very caring and committed to the customer, to your staff, and to the employees you place. For these reasons and many others, I look forward to a long and favorable relationship between our company and EPC.”

What Pharmacy Owners Say
“The people of EPC know what building a business relationship means. Business people are people first and if you connect on that level, you’ll have loyal customers. TERRA is very good at doing this, they care. They don’t just want your business today, they want you to be satisfied with their services so they’ll have your business forever. When you talk with people from EPC, you don’t feel like you’re getting a sales job. It is purely a realization that you should be using their services because they’re the best.”
