11 Pharmacy Technicians in a Nursing Home Pharmacy NURSING HOME 1. Policy and Procedures must define: a. What the technician will do in the Pharmacy. b. How they will do the functions identified. c. What they may not do in the Pharmacy. 2. Activities allowed a. Entry of information into the computer, unit dose, facility re-supply, return of medications 3. Activities not allowed a. May not engage in professional communication with licensed practitioners 4. Ratio/supervision - suggest getting 3:1 ratio approved even if you may not need this many techs at the present time 5. Name badges -- worn clearly visible and identified as a technician or nurse consultant 29.11

12 NOTE: rule 64B governs the practice of pharmacy with regard to the use of pharmacy technicians. This rule lists certain functions to be personally performed by a pharmacist, or a duly registered intern acting under the direct and immediate personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist. This list of pharmacist functions is not meant to be conclusive and all encompassing, but may be used to help define functions that may not be delegated to a pharmacy technician. Noteworthy from the list of functions that may not be delegated by the pharmacist are: 1. Engage in consultation with a practitioner regarding interpretation of the prescription and data in a patient profile; 2. Engage in professional communication with licensed practitioners, nurses or other health professions, and 3. Advise or consult with a patient, both as to the prescription and the patient profile record. From the above, it is clear that a pharmacy technician should not make the telephone call to a practitioner s office to request additional refills for a patient. Also if the patient should be consulted concerning his/her prescription it should be a direct pharmacistpatient exchange and not relayed via the pharmacy technician. Other points from this section include: No licensed pharmacist shall supervise more than one pharmacy technician unless otherwise permitted by the Florida Board of Pharmacy; All pharmacy technicians shall wear a type of identification badge that is clearly visible which specifically identifies the employee by stating pharmacy technician ; Any pharmacy utilizing pharmacy technicians shall be required to have written policies and procedures regarding the number of positions and their utilization, including the specific scope of responsibilities of technicians, available for inspection. These are a few of the issues addressed in the rule. It is suggested a pharmacist utilizing pharmacy technicians completely review Rule 64B ; , , and copies of which are at the end of this chapter
