A pharmacy technician’s primary job is to receive and fill prescription requests for patients. These prescription requests can come from hospitals, physicians, nurses or directly from the patient. Their work is overseen by a licensed pharmacist.

The preparation of a prescription requires several tasks. The duties carried out by pharmacy technicians can include:

• · Retrieving and reviewing prescription orders to ensure accuracy and determine formulas and ingredients needed.
• · Enter data such as patient name, prescribed medication, and cost, to maintain pharmacy files, charge systems, and maintain inventory counts.
• · Counting, pouring, measuring, and weighing tablets and medications
• · Assays medications to determine the identity, purity, and strength.
• · mixing medications (if applicable)
• · Selecting the proper prescription container
• · Creating prescription labels
• · Prepare the prescription to the point of verification, where the Pharmacist will review for patient dispersion.

The pharmacy tech’s job also extends to the daily operation of the pharmacy itself, including interactions with hospitals and patients. Some other, non-medication-related duties include:

• · Preparing insurance claim forms
• · Maintaining patient profiles
• · Completing cash register transactions
• · Taking inventory of medications
• · Being aware of the latest medicines and their availability

This list may not include every task or responsibility of the pharmacy technician but should be used as an outline.

Team members are expected to Go the Extra Mile for their patients, their team, and their community, which means they will sometimes have to step outside of their normal job duties.
