” 100 yr dash” for a chain pharmacy technician ?

How do i get faster? I’m told I’m too slow. 80 seconds to grab medication. Count it. And label the bottle and place in the rack is too slow. 150 seconds to greet the customer. Get their medication. Take care of any issues and bag their stuff is too slow. I need to cut that time in half according to my boss.

60 seconds max per customer and 30-40 seconds to dispense. And maybe 30 seconds or less on data entry.

I’ve only improved by a couple seconds in 90 days.

What happened to ensuring patient safety these chains market to their customers?

 

 

How to find a local independent pharmacy/Pharmacist

  1. I switched to a small pharmacy and saw the manager of the large pharmacy refuse to fill my pain prescription afterwards. When switching pharmacies here, opioid prescriptions cannot be transferred.Because my pain medication Rx was written by my old Dr the original pharmacy had a choice to either fill it ,or refuse to fill it, at their discretion. I got a taste of what things might be like if the chain made silly policies re-opioid Rx. so I am glad to have switched.
