Responsibilities
·
Process prescriptions and dispersing medication.
·
Communicate with prescribers. Any time a prescription order is
unclear or potentially harmful for a patient, you need to confirm the dosage
and formulation (e.g., liquid or tablet), as well as whether brand name product
is required or if you can substitute a generic equivalent
·
Maintain health requires more than taking prescription
medications, Pharmacists can help patients heal and avoid getting sick by
sharing advice on using non-prescription remedies, taking health supplements
such as vitamins, using herbal and natural health products, exercising and
maintaining a good diet.
·
Deal with insurance companies. Pharmacists working in chain and
independent pharmacies, especially, have to submit insurance claims and work
with private insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid to ensure payment, and
resolve coverage denials so patients do not go with medications.
·
Recruiting, Training and Managing staff. Pharmacists have the
ultimate responsibility for ensuring the “three Rs” of right drug, right
patient and right dose are rightly observed. Meeting this responsibility
requires overseeing the work of and mentoring pharmacy technicians, student
interns and residents. Pharmacy owners and supervisors also have
responsibilities for making hiring decisions and setting and enforcing
workplace policies.
·
Perform administrative tasks. Everyone in a pharmacy has some
responsibilities for keeping patient files up to date, making sure needed
products are stocked and required reports get generated and filed.
·
Ensure patients' safety. Check each patient’s medication record
every time he or she gets a new or refill prescription filled. This is the best
way for a pharmacist to prevent potentially dangerous interactions between
drugs.
·
Counsel patients. This involves more than informing about
adverse reactions and interactions with other medications, food, alcohol and
other beverages. Counselling includes training patients on how and when to take
doses, following up with patients to see if medications are working, sharing
tips on how to minimize side effects while maximizing benefits and listening to
all of a patient's concerns.
·
Work with patients on general health.
·
Educate health provider colleagues, doctors, nurses and other
health care providers about new medications and drug therapy protocols.
·
Keeping statistical and financial records.
