This conversation is about the essential role of pharmacy technicians in the medication preparation process. The lessons highlight their primary function in interpreting prescriptions and preparing medications while working collaboratively with pharmacists.
The hosts also detail specific tasks, such as prescription processing, inventory management, compounding, and patient interaction. Importantly, they differentiate between discretionary duties, where technicians can exercise judgment, and non-discretionary duties, which require pharmacist oversight.
Finally, they discuss examples of scenarios that technicians may encounter, such as look-alike/sound-alike medications and prescription discrepancies, along with recommended practices for handling them. Thank you for listening to the first season of Pharm Yaks. Season 2 will be here after a short break.
