Innovation, makers of PharmASSIST pharmacy automation solutions, has announced that its product line has been granted the authority to operate (ATO) and authority to connect (ATC) to the Air Force Global Information Grid under the Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP).

Innovation’s PharmASSIST products are deployed in over 130 U.S. Air Force, Army, and Joint Forces pharmacies around the world. All DoD information systems must be certified and accredited. The process is complex and lengthy, and is completed in five phases. It can take months or even years, depending on the size of the system and the availability of the personnel responsible for completing different aspects of the process.
