In the fast-paced world of healthcare, there's a dynamic team of professionals working tirelessly to ensure that patients receive the medications they need accurately and efficiently. These unsung heroes are none other than pharmacy technicians, and at ChenMed, they play a pivotal role in delivering patient-centered care.

What Sets ChenMed Apart

ChenMed's approach to healthcare is unique and patient-centered. Unlike traditional retail pharmacies, where a multitude of patients from the public come and go, ChenMed's pharmacy technicians exclusively serve their own patient population. This closed-door approach allows for a more intimate understanding of their patients' needs, and it's what makes ChenMed stand out.

The Advocates for Patient Well-being

Pharmacy technicians at ChenMed are not just medication dispensers; they are advocates for their patients' well-being. They take on a multifaceted role that involves filling and refilling medications, collaborating with care teams, and advocating for patients' needs. When patients have questions or concerns about their medications, it's the pharmacy technicians who step in, liaising with physicians and ensuring that the patient's concerns are addressed promptly.

Super Techs of the Healthcare World

One distinctive aspect of pharmacy technicians at ChenMed is their level of independence. Unlike their counterparts in retail pharmacies, who often work under the direct supervision of pharmacists, ChenMed's pharmacy technicians operate with a high degree of autonomy. They are, in a sense, "super techs." They have a deep understanding of pharmacy operations and are responsible for managing medication fills, following regulations set forth by the Board of Pharmacy and the Board of Medicine, and ensuring the smooth operation of medication distribution.

The Glue That Holds It All Together

The pharmacy technicians are integral members of the care teams at ChenMed. They bridge communication gaps between various healthcare professionals, from front desk staff to physicians, ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding medication-related matters. This open communication is crucial to maintaining patient safety and quality care.

Building Relationships for Better Adherence

One of the keys to success for pharmacy technicians at ChenMed is building relationships with patients. This is especially important for medication adherence. Patients trust their pharmacy technicians, making it easier for them to discuss concerns, side effects, and medication-related issues. Pharmacy technicians play a vital role in identifying when patients may not be taking their medications as prescribed, alerting the physician to address the issue promptly.
