Re: Re: pharmacy assistants...

Our tech jobs are spelled out like Lori mentioned. One of my jobs is to do the packaging, but most techs know how to use the machine (even though they hate it!) and do packaging when I'm not here. Liking a job isn't really a consideration.
The same is true for checking outdates. Every tech and phamacist has an area in the pharmacy, a Pyxis machine or 2 and some do offsites, too. We have 2 sign off sheets (one for pharmacy areas and one for Pyxis machines) that have to be completed monthly.

Hello,
Our pharmacy uses the MILT software. Designed and Manufactured by EPS Inc. It's a software based on a windows platform and unit doses 25 pills in one go and has a bar-code capability.
All our techs have access to the software and can unit dose whenever the need arises.

We have an Inventory Rep which does the day-to-day ordering and put stock away. She also barcodes.
