What you will demonstrate
Prepare like the role is already yours.
- Produces accurately entered prescriptions and medication orders with verified patient, prescriber, drug, strength, dosage form, route, directions, quantity, refills, allergies, and required identifiers.
- Uses two-identifier patient matching, prescription and order-entry validation, sig translation, dosage and quantity calculations, days-supply calculation, NDC and stock-product selection, barcode use, and independent recheck before pharmacist verification with appropriate safeguards.
- Partners effectively with patients, caregivers, and people needing language, disability, affordability, or access support.
- Balances patient, drug, strength, dosage-form, quantity, NDC, label, and data-entry accuracy; pharmacist intervention; near misses; and dispensing-error prevention.
- Guards against selecting the wrong patient, drug, strength, dosage form, NDC, quantity, directions, or label; overriding an allergy, interaction, duplicate-therapy, refill, or DUR alert without pharmacist review; counseling, recommending therapy, changing a prescription, or making a clinical override outside technician scope; bypassing final verification; mishandling controlled substances, recalls, suspect product, cold chain, hazardous drugs, or sterile compounding; falsifying inventory or temperature records; exposing patient information; or trading safe checks for queue speed.
