Medicine Shortages: Pharmacy Technician Workflows

Your assignment: records and assessment

A medicine shortage requires a dependable workflow for the technician team. We define who checks availability, collects supply options, forwards questions and follows open cases. The responsible qualified professional assesses pharmaceutical alternatives.

• Open cases with PZN and required date
• Documented replies and sourcing attempts
• Ownership of enquiries and repeat checks

From findings to implementation

A shared case overview prevents several people repeating the same enquiry independently. Selected cases test the process, with adjustments wherever responsibility or information remains unclear.

Illustrative assessment example

A supplier has already replied about an unavailable PZN. The next team member can see the status, intended supply routes and review time. A further enquiry should add useful information. Pharmaceutical alternatives receive a separate professional assessment.
