Cambridge Hospital, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This inpatient pharmacy renovation was a meticulously planned and executed project aimed at reconfiguring the clean rooms to meet USP 797 standards through comprehensive HVAC upgrades. Given the critical nature of the pharmacy’s operations, the project required careful phasing and stringent infection control measures to ensure continuous functionality and patient safety throughout the construction period.
The renovation focused on enhancing the clean rooms’ HVAC systems to comply with USP 797 guidelines, which are essential for maintaining sterile environments in pharmaceutical compounding. The project team worked in close coordination with hospital staff to implement a phased approach, allowing the pharmacy to remain operational without compromising service quality. Advanced infection control protocols, including temporary barriers, negative air pressure systems, and rigorous dust containment strategies, were employed to protect both staff and sensitive medical supplies.
This renovation not only brought the pharmacy’s clean rooms up to the latest regulatory standards but also improved overall efficiency and safety, ensuring that Cambridge Hospital can continue to provide high-quality pharmaceutical care. The successful completion of this project underscores the importance of careful planning and collaboration in healthcare facility renovations.
