Batch Documentation
Records from the source compounding pharmacy that accompany each shipment, identifying the batch, its preparation, and any storage or handling requirements.
Batch documentation refers to records from the source compounding pharmacy that accompany each shipment of compounded preparations. Documentation typically includes batch identifiers, the preparation lot, expiration dating, storage requirements, and any cold-chain records for temperature-controlled shipments.
For clinic procurement and recordkeeping, batch documentation is the audit trail. A wholesale supplier should attach batch documentation to every order in a way that's accessible from the clinic's portal account indefinitely. If a question arises later about a specific preparation, the batch records are how it gets answered.
