Pharmacy Technician - Medication History

Job Description

With the help of more than 600 employees, 150 credentialed physicians, and more than $12 million of recent capital upgrades and renovations, North Okaloosa Medical Center is a caring place where clinical expertise and advanced technology blend seamlessly with sincerity and compassion.

We pride ourselves on our unique dedication to patient experience. While offering the latest techniques using modern technology, we prioritize the human interaction that is crucial to providing quality care. Our goal is to anticipate the needs and exceed the expectations of our patients and their families.

It's also our goal to provide a workplace where you are respected, valued and where your work is purposeful and fulfilling. A place where your talent is recognized, professional development is encouraged and career advancement is possible.

Position Purpose:

The "Medication Reconciliation" Pharmacy Technician will primarily be responsible for obtaining a complete and accurate personal medication history, including allergies and other intolerances, for patients that are admitted or still in the ED and are likely to be admitted to the facility. The goal will be to complete the list as early in the patient's stay as possible and will consist of as much 'direct patient interaction' as is practicable. However, other resources, (ie patient family members, caregivers, medication lists provided by the patient, outside pharmacies, prescription bottles, past medical history, medical clinics, and other healthcare

providers) may be consulted in order to facilitate completion of the "Home Medication List". This person will be responsible for communicating relevant information to facility providers who are (or will be) involved in the patient's care. (ie. Notification of the Home Medication List 'readiness' status, pending clarifications, etc.)

This person will also have responsibility for all "quality assurance" activities and unit inspections for the Emergency Department.

This employee may also be called upon to perform other duties typical to those of a "Registered Pharmacy Technician".
