New York (MedscapeWire) Dec 13 — Five teams of pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians were declared the winners of this year's Innovations in Pharmaceutical Care Award on December 4th at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Winners included a team at Duke University Medical Center that reengineered pharmacy work functions to allow pharmacists more time to focus on patient care. Another winning team, from North Mississippi Medical Center - Department of Pharmacy Services, uses a certified pharmacy technician in the medication error tracking and reporting process, giving pharmacists and other health professionals more time to implement new patient care programs.
The award, founded in 1998 by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB), recognizes innovations in pharmaceutical care by teams of pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians in any practice setting. Each of the five winning teams received a cash award of $1,000 to be shared equally by the pharmacist and certified pharmacy technician and a framed certificate to be displayed in their respective practice settings.
"We take great pride in the Innovations Award Program," said Melissa M. Murer, RPh, PTCB Executive Director. "Efforts to enhance patient care, reduce medication errors and manage patient's chronic diseases serve as best practices for the over 70,800 certified pharmacy technicians nationwide."
