The practice of compounding in both the community and hospital pharmacy settings has undergone constant change since the 1980s. Although standards and guidelines have been established, additional standards and guidelines are being developed to ensure that compounded preparations are of high quality. Although hospital compounding and community compounding have some differences in their pracitce, both must comply with the standards for drug preparations set forth by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention. The strict standards published in 2003 by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention in the area of sterile compounding have become a major concern for hospital pharmacies, which have been given an extended compliance date of January 1, 2008, by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Because of the high standards for the practice of compounding and the new, complex dosage forms that are being prescribed to meet patients' individual needs, pharmacists and technicians involved in compounding need to have additional training to learn these new compounding skills and quality assurance techniques.
自20世纪80年代以来，社区药房和医院药房的调配操作一直在不断变化。尽管已经制定了标准和指南，但仍在制定更多的标准和指南，以确保调配制剂的质量。虽然医院调配和社区调配在操作上存在一些差异，但两者都必须符合美国药典委员会制定的药品制剂标准。美国药典委员会2003年在无菌调配领域发布的严格标准已成为医院药房的主要关注点，医疗保健机构认证联合委员会已将医院药房的合规截止日期延长至2008年1月1日。由于调配操作的高标准以及为满足患者个体需求而开具的新的、复杂剂型，参与调配的药剂师和技术人员需要接受额外培训，以学习这些新的调配技能和质量保证技术。
