• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Although the pharmacist must conduct education and counseling to develop the patient’s Medication Action Plan, the pharmacy technician plays a vital role in helping to support the pharmacist’s efforts. This module will define common medication related problems and prescribing errors. The impact of such errors will be discussed, as well as what information the pharmacist may review to identify interventions and recommendations about the patient’s drug therapy. The pharmacy technician, once again, plays vital role in influencing how the pharmacist may tailor their education, counseling and questioning to the patient. During the patient interview, the pharmacy technician may ask questions to determine if the patient may be experiencing any side effects or if they are using their medication appropriately. The legal limitations for pharmacy technicians will be highlighted as applicable here.
