Webinar: Who’s Cleaning Medical Equipment? The Answer Affects Patient Flow, August 13

Ambiguous responsibilities for cleaning and equipment handling are costing hospitals more than time. They’re risking compliance, delaying care and compromising safety.

You’ll hear real-world insights on how centralized service models can reduce confusion, drive throughput and keep hospitals survey ready.

Key Takeaways:

  • How IFU uncertainty leads to delayed care and equipment downtime,
  • Why shared responsibility models fail – and how centralizing can improve throughput, and
  • How to protect uptime, safety and staff satisfaction with clear ownership of disinfection and storage.

2025 340B Program Hospital Recertification Announcement

The 2025 340B Program Recertification period for hospitals will be August 1 – September 8, 2025.

Prior to being able to recertify, Authorizing Officials (AOs) and Primary Contacts (PCs) must set up a user account in the 340B office of Pharmacy Affairs Information System (340B OPAIS). Failure to set up user accounts will result in not being able to view accounts or conduct recertification, thus termination from the 340B Program.

AOs and PCs must create individual user accounts; they will not be able to share access.

All active 340B ID’s associated with an AOs user account must be updated for recertification to be completed by the established deadline. Failure to recertify by the established deadline will result in termination from the 340B Program.

For assistance with the 340B OPAIS, it is strongly encouraged to utilize the online help that is available for your convenience. In addition, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has information and tutorials available on their website at https://www.hrsa.gov/opa/340b-opais/index.html.
