Pharmacy Purchasing & Products magazine is pleased to present its October issue, as well as our robust Cleanrooms & Compounding supplement. The material in this month�s issue and supplement provide insight and actionable guidance on smart pump data mining, developing a waste management committee, contracting with technology vendors, outsourcing OR syringes, and developing a regional compounding program, among others.

With all this great information in mind, we want to remind our readers who have not done so recently to resubscribe to PP&P. The process is simple and easy, and the best part is, it�s free! Just go to www.pppmag.com/subscribe, fill out the simple questionnaire�providing any feedback you might like to include�and hit submit. By resubscribing to PP&P, you will be helping us to continue delivering the magazine, as well as area-specific supplements and surveys, in a timely manner, all while remaining free of charge to you.

So we ask you to take just a few moments to renew. If you can�t remember the last time you did so, then now is the perfect time. As autumn arrives and with winter right around the corner, we have great hopes of finishing 2010 strong with information that positively affects your practice. We look forward to seeing you at the ASHP Midyear!
