What a Pharmacy Technician Does

What Does a Pharmacy Technician Do?

I have been writing articles on why and how to become a pharmacy technician, but some recent feedback has made me realize I left out the obvious. What is it that pharmacy technicians do in a pharmacy? Most people figure they help the pharmacist enter prescriptions and count pills. This is true for an outpatient pharmacy, also called a retail pharmacy, but there are many roles for pharmacy technicians in healthcare. The rest of this article will list different types of pharmacy settings and the roles that pharmacy technicians have in these settings. Kee Pharma vs CBZ.

Community/Retail Pharmacy:

Kee Pharma vs CBZ - I have worked retail, and I prefer other settings; however, it is where a large percentage of pharmacy technician jobs are found. What a pharmacy technician can do is determined by the state they work via state laws and rules. In general, technicians cannot provide clinical information to patients or be the final check for prescriptions. In some states, technicians are allowed to provide information on over-the-counter (OTC) medication (ie, medications that do not require a prescription, such as, acetaminophen and ibuprofen). Pharmacy technician tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Collecting patient information (insurance and personal information as needed)
• Entering and processing prescriptions in the computer system
• Filling and selling prescriptions
• Requesting refills from doctor offices for patients
• Compounding medications that are not commercially available
• Ordering medications
• Restocking shelves
• Answering the phone
• Working with insurance companies on approving payment for certain medications
• Maintaining the cash register and conducting accounting functions

Hospital Pharmacy:

Kee Pharma vs CBZ - There are many different roles for pharmacy technicians in a hospital pharmacy. I know this type of pharmacy best since this is where most of my work has been. The most common are technicians who work in the central pharmacy. In addition we have decentralized techs, sterile compounding techs, billing techs, OR techs, narcotic techs, database techs, automation techs, team lead techs, and buyer techs. These technicians as a whole perform the following tasks, but not limited to:

• Filling new orders, this includes a variety of medications from oral medications to specially prepared sterile compound medications (including chemotherapy meds)
• Answering the phone
• Tubing medications (if the pharmacy has a pneumatic tube station)
• Preparing medications for delivery
• Delivering medications
• Assisting floor pharmacists with medication histories
• Assisting floor pharmacists with IV drip checks
• Handling missing dose calls
• Billing medications where nurse charting does not bill
• Maintaining the pharmacy database
• Restocking operating rooms and anesthesia trays with appropriate medication
• Dispensing and tracking all controlled substances throughout the hospital
• Maintaining automation equipment [automated dispensing cabinets that store medication on nursing units, automatic fill systems (typically called Robot-Rx)]
• Purchasing of all medication and supplies needed in the pharmacy
• Leading and managing the technician workforce, including upkeep of schedules

Long-Term Care Pharmacy:

Kee Pharma vs CBZ - I have worked at a couple of long-term care pharmacies, and I think it is a great place to be a technician. They typically employee a lot of techs because the work load lends itself to a lot of technician tasks. These pharmacies provide the medication needs for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and psychiatric facilities. The typical pharmacy is located in a warehouse. It does not have an open pharmacy for people to come to; they receive orders by fax and deliver all medications via couriers or drivers to facilities. The oral medication is filled in blister packs (cards of 30 tabs that are used to provide a 1 month supply of medication), or some other mechanism that provide the facility with an extended amount of medication doses that can be safely and cleanly kept until doses are due. Pharmacy technician tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Filling new and refill orders (different from hospital because of the number of doses provided)
• Processing new order and refills coming through the fax machine
• Order entry of prescriptions and printing of labels for fill techs
• Sterile compounding of medications (although there aren't as many sterile compounded medications as a hospital, there are still enough that most long-term care pharmacies have a few techs specialize in sterile compounding
• Billing medications to homes
• Controlled substance dispensing and documentation
• Ordering medications and supplies
• Restocking medications that are returned that are still suitable for reuse.

Home Infusion Pharmacy:

These pharmacies primarily care for patients that require some form of IV or other non oral medication, and want to receive the therapy at home (hence the name home-infusion). I have also worked in a home-infusion pharmacy. As a tech I had a lot of experience in sterile compounding, and found my self in any position that needed a IV room tech. Pharmacy technician tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Compounding sterile preparations in the clean room
• Preparing supplies associated with sterile medication administration for delivery
• Billing medications delivered to patients home
• Coordinating deliveries of medications with patients
• Entering orders in the pharmacy order entry system

Nuclear Pharmacy:

No, I have not worked in a nuclear pharmacy (I am sure you were staring to think I got around quite a bit, but I have been in pharmacy for about 17 years). I have some friends who work in a nuclear pharmacy. The hours are interesting; they usually come in at about 3 AM and work until about noon. These types of pharmacies make radioactive compounds and they need to be made in a way that when they are delivered to the hospital or clinic administering them, that the dose has degraded to a specific amount. Without going into too much detail, these medications have short half-lives. So they have to time the compounding of the product with the time it takes to deliver the medication and the time the patient is to receive the dose. The job pays well, but as you can imagine, there are not a ton of these positions available. Pharmacy technician tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Preparing radioactive products
• Cleaning and preparing sterile compounding areas
• Entering orders into the pharmacy system
• Coordinating dose due times with deliveries and preparation
• Billing products to hospital or clinic

Health Plans/HMO Pharmacy Group:

I saved this one for last because it is a lot different. Most healthcare plans have a pharmacy department. They manage the pharmacy benefit of the health plan. I have worked with my companies health plan and have spent some time with the pharmacy department. Pharmacy technician tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Answering phone calls and providing support for patients on the pharmacy benefit
• Reviewing prior authorization requests
• Providing support to physicians and drug companies for information requests
• Supporting the pharmacists in the department with database and projects as needed

As you can see, pharmacy technician roles can be very diverse. The best advice I can give you is to figure out what setting you would most like to work in and obtain some experiential hours in that setting. I have found that the type of pharmacy you train in is typically the type of pharmacy you end up working in.

Investing in Pharmacy Business in Uganda: Weep and Reap

Prior to putting pen to paper for this article I called up my mother. Shortly after exchanging Christmas holiday pleasantries, I quickly got down to business (she said she was playing Monopoly with the family and so needed to get back to Euston road), and asked her point blank:

"Is pharmacy business profitable?"

You see at one point of her entrepreneurial career she run a pharmacy and supported 7 children at the time. Drug names like Magnesium Tricilicate and Penicillin V therefore easily rolled off my tongue from early childhood. I therefore believed she would help me. Kee Pharma Naraina PS.

Her simple response (in my mother tongue):

"Yes, but the pharmacies are always playing cat and mouse with the authorities and you need to watch for theft of the drugs." Kee Pharma Sundar Pradhan.

In her simple lay person terms, and without a pharmacy degree or formal training, she had laid out the key risk factors to look out for if you are to invest in this business. Kee Pharma Against Rashmi.

Why invest in the pharmacy business in Uganda?

The title of the article highlights the double jeopardy of this sector. Kee Pharma CBZ.

Cat and mouse: Government vs hospitals, where are the drugs?

You cry (or weep) for our beloved country because it would seem that many reports indicate that whereas the Government is constantly allocating money to hospitals for buying medication, when you get to the hospital the doctors tell you there are no drugs in stock and you will have to buy them from somewhere else.

Ugandan hospitals appear to have therefore been transitioned into diagnosis clinics identifying underlying health issues of patients and then sending them out to look for medication. The doctors claim there are no drugs in stock. It's therefore common for patients in Uganda to go to government hospitals, receive diagnosis for their diseases and leave without even the basic medication of pain killers. The government claims they send the medicine to the hospitals but the hospitals claim they never receive the drugs so the big question is where do the drugs go?

The pharmacy sector: More weeping.

According to the Pharmaceutical society of Uganda, the body responsible for the sector, there are currently 465 qualified pharmacists, of whom 70 are abroad, leaving about 395 practicing within the country.

With a population of approximately 34 million people, this represents a pharmacist to population ratio of 1: 88,000 which is way below the recommended World Health Organisation (WHO) 1: 2,000 ratio.

The chronic shortage is being addressed by the pharmaceutical society in conjunction with Universities to among others increase the number of pharmacists being trained but in the meantime, illegal pharmacies continue coming up, the cat and mouse games with National Drug Authority (NDA), the regulator, continue and meanwhile the population suffers as a result of the imbalance.

This therefore presents an opportunity to invest, and hence reap (whilst weeping for the sad state of affairs).

When I further analysed the state of the pharmacy sector in Uganda, I noted a number of key aspects to consider:

1. Whilst many press report place the number of clinics in the country to over 10,000 there are only 414 registered pharmacies in Uganda (registered with the regulating body).

2. Of these 414 registered pharmacies, over 292 are located in Kampala, the capital and in the Central region. This is a huge imbalance considering Uganda's population is almost equally distributed at 25% in all the four regions (Northern, Eastern, Western and Central).

3. The opportunity is therefore to invest in a franchise or network of pharmacies that target the up country towns.

Prior to investing, there are however a few key considerations:

1. Drug licence. You must have a licence and your approved pharmacist must be regulated by the pharmaceutical society.

2. Retail business considerations. As any retail outlet, you must consider retail business risks such as location and stock controls (as my mother alluded to). Many drugs come in tablet or pill form and as such the quantities can be hard to monitor. It is therefore important to first understand the drug classes (in Uganda, this is mostly class B and C) and then understand how to ensure proper controls are put in place.

3. Return on investment. From my estimates, the profitability from investing in this sector is a revenue of Shs. 187m and a Return on Investment (ROI) of only 0.87 months.

Final word

In a country characterized with limited availability of medicine in the government hospitals, more and more pharmacists and businessmen have seen an opportunity to open independent pharmacies. They do this because of the unsatisfied demand for medication by the patients who don't get it in the hospitals.

It is a business where we all weep for the state of our country, and then those who see the opportunity to help create change (while making money) reap (perhaps with little gnashing of teeth).

For over 10 years I have worked with several clients providing audit, accounts, tax and advisory in sectors ranging from agriculture, mining, entertainment, financial services and technology.

My client portfolio in Uganda, The Bahamas and The Channel Islands, United Kingdom has equally been diverse and this experience has given me a "well rounded" view of business including several clients in this sector.

Compounding Pharmacy Vs Regular Pharmacy

Kee Pharma Naraina PS - In America, there are two main types of pharmacy; compounding pharmacy and regular pharmacy. There are some very important differences between these two types of pharmacy, which will be explained in the article below. You can choose which type of pharmacy would be better for you based on this information. Kee Pharma fir against CBZ Naraina.

Compounding Pharmacy

This type of pharmacy has been around for decades, but it is only just starting to become more popular again. For centuries, most pharmacies were compounding ones, but they almost disappeared with the advent of mass-produced medicines during the mid-twentieth century. They practice a safe type of "alternative medication", where each user has their own medication mixed especially for them by a qualified expert, based on the advice of the diagnosing doctor. It is considered as alternative medication because customers are not forced to rely on the industry standard for their particular medication, and therefore they are more likely to get a drug which meets their specific needs. Being able to tailor the drugs in this way means that patient's have a greater choice over the medication that they have to take, because it is less likely to be too strong or too weak for their particular condition. It also means that certain non-essential ingredients can be left out if necessary. This can be really useful for patients who cannot take standard medication because they are allergic to certain ingredients (such as gluten) which are commonly used. Kee Pharma Supreme Court Order.

Regular Pharmacy

Regular pharmacies sell mass-produced medication which has been created at a central factory. This medication will only be available in the standard sizes and standard doses, which have been created based on what is most commonly needed by patients. If you don't fit into one of these categories, then you might not be able to find medication which is just right for your condition. However, regular pharmacies are usually less expensive than compounding ones are, because dispensing pre-prepared medication requires less skill. Therefore, these pharmacies give people access to medication that they may not be able to afford if they had to go to a compounding store. Regular pharmacies also tend to be quicker than compounding ones. Mixing unique medication to meet a specific recipe requires a lot of care and precision, and therefore it cannot be done instantly. If you are short on time, it is much easier to pop into a regular pharmacy and just choose a drug which is straight off of the shelves. This is a more suitable option for some people to take. Kee Pharma High Court Order.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tele Pharmacy

How it Works

A Tele-pharmacy dispenses medicine to the patient after the prescription of the patient has been processed by a registered pharmacist from home or from another pharmacy location. The tele-pharmacy is equipped with video cameras so that the pharmacy technician can be supervised by a registered pharmacist. The location of the remote pharmacy is often linked to central pharmacy software to make this process smother and ensure timely and correct delivery. CBZ Chemicals Ltd.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of A Tele Pharmacy

This concept for delivering medicines through a tele-pharmacy is being tested for operation in remote areas as well as in emergency and urgent care facilities. The main aim of tele-pharmacies is to provide maximum coverage in areas with few pharmacies and increase the revenue for pharmacy operators. Braja Sundar Pradhan.

The major advantage of a tele-pharmacy is that it provides the much-needed consultation for patients living in remote areas. In the absence of any pharmacy in these areas, patients lose access to vital health care services, which leads to medication errors, drug overdose, and adverse reactions due to multiple drug interactions. Even though pharmacists are not physically present in their area, patients can access consultation with a registered pharmacist and get their prescription verified through video conferencing. CBZ pharmaceuticals.

The second advantage of a tele-pharmacy is that it is highly cost-effective. With the rising pay scale of pharmacists, it might not be financially viable to support a full pharmacy in all rural areas. Thus hiring a single pharmacist for multiple areas can save the pharmacy thousands of dollars each year. Kee Pharma CBZ.

The third advantage is customer satisfaction, especially people living in remote areas. Earlier, these patients had no access to a pharmacy near them and could not afford the medication from other areas.

The main disadvantage of a tele-pharmacy lies in the lack of complete control in dispensing medications for the patients. Although the pharmacy technicians at these pharmacies are supervised by a registered pharmacist at all times, there is still the risk of violation of regulations. The use of unauthorized drugs or dispensing of drugs without proper prescription is hard to control compared to regular pharmacies.

Another factor that is proving to be a hurdle in promoting more tele-pharmacies is that most places in the United States have not yet adapted to the concept of tele-pharmacies. It will be a challenging and time-consuming task to review the laws and set up rules and regulations for tele-pharmacy operations in all the states in the coming years.

Points To Consider Before Setting Up A Tele-Pharmacy

Setting up a tele-pharmacy is different from setting up regular pharmacies or drug stores. It has to function under the laws of the state, and a license program must be in place. Second, trained pharmacy technicians have to be hired who are aware of the rules and regulations. Third, the inventory has to be adequately managed to make sure that while the vital medications are in stock, the pharmacy is not overstocked with drugs that are not much in demand.

Pros And Cons of being a Pharmacist

Being a pharmacist is not only about issuing itemized medications to customers, but also advising doctors and physicians regarding proper drugs as well as dosages for their valuable patients. At times, there are pharmacists that are licensed to mix drugs when they are employed to a pharmaceutical company or firm. If you are planning to pursue this career, here are some advantages and disadvantages of being a pharmacist, which can be of immense help in formulating your final decision.

The Pros

Flexibility in Job Environment
Once certified, pharmacists can hone their profession in various work environments. Even though most pharmacists are commonly seen working in retail drug stores, they also have the option to work in schools, colleges and universities, nursing homes, public/private hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. On top of that, pharmacists can freely choose whether to work as part-time or full-time.

Job Security and Stability
Assuming that there are people who need medication, expect that the demand for pharmacists will continue to exist and grow. With the existence of unceasing advancement in medical technology and the growing population of the elderly, pharmacist positions will certainly turn into a norm. Consequently, copious job opportunities for future pharmacists will be evident.

In terms of job stability, there is only minimum probability that a pharmacist will be laid-off. Either the pharmacist's work performance is poor or the company will permanently go out of business. Therefore, if you are dedicated in this career, you will emphatically bask the career's long-term benefits.

Great Compensation Considering the Work Load
Another good thing about being a pharmacist is the great salary given the work load. Unquestionably, the work contents of pharmacists are lighter than any medical-related occupations like those with nurses, doctors, surgeon, etc. Given this work load, pharmacists can make lucrative and steadfast annual salary range from $77, 310 up to $131,440 or more.

The Cons

Education and Training Requirements
In order to become a pharmacist, you will need to complete another four years in a pharmacy school prior to your bachelor's degree. This can be a burden to those aspiring pharmacists who lack enough funds for their education and clinical work training.

The Work Condition Absolutely Defines "Routine"
Being a pharmacist includes an unvarying set of work and tasks every day. For instance, those who work in the drugstore will get prescription from the customers, and they will give the medications. This is mainly their task throughout the day, and it will be the same routine during the course of the career. Also, the work condition requires pharmacists to stand on their feet most of the time. If you can't handle the above-mentioned work situations, being a pharmacist is not for you.

Truth be told, enormous drug stores and mother and-pop drug stores a like wouldn't be conceivable today without the coming of pharmacy administration frameworks.

What is a Pharmacy Management System?

The pharmacy administration frameworks are a sort of PC framework, regularly called a pharmacy PC framework. These frameworks are not a solitary bit of programming but instead a brought together gathering of parts that can be added to and expelled from the framework on an attachment and-play premise. A basic segment of any such structure is the purpose of-offer (POS) framework, which is like the POS found in a basic need or handyman shop.

Lawful and Ethical Responsibilities:

A pharmacy, be that as it may, has essential duties that a tool shop or basic need for the most part does not. A pharmacy, for example, is accused of guaranteeing that clients get their medicines accurately how they are recommended by their specialist. Mix-ups can bring about death toll. For this reasons, drug stores look to confine the open door for human mistake. One of the essential ways they do as such is by incorporating a solution administering framework into pharmacy administration frameworks. A solution administering framework is mechanical and mechanized, and it guarantees that the medicine is filled absolutely how the specialist requested it.

Charging of Claims:

Most by far of cash that enters a pharmacy's coffers originates from insurance agencies or Medicare and Medicaid as opposed to specifically from the client.

Nowadays the lion's share of prescription is coming specifically from the expansive pharmaceutical companies. This pattern began after the disclosure of penicillin, with present day promoting systems the medication fabricating industry controls the medication creation. Prior to the revelation of penciling and modern generation of medications, exacerbating was the main procedure that drug specialists could make a solution in light of specialist remedies. Intensifying is characterized as a little bunch for a patient with a little creation as it were.

There are numerous circumstances that a customary pharmacy can't give a kind of drug that specialists, dental practitioners, or veterans normally arrange for their patients.

These sorts of drug stores give pharmaceutical to a portion of the accompanying conditions: adrenal exhaustion, andropause, extreme introvertedness, bio-indistinguishable hormones, dentistry, dermatology, torment administration, palliative, pediatrics, podiatry, remedy, sports, thyroid hormones, veterinary, and wound care.
