Technician Product Verification
Technician Product Verification (TPV) is an opportunity to improve patient care and expand the role of pharmacy technician professionals. Pharmacy technicians who choose to take on advanced roles allow pharmacists to apply more time to activities involving pharmacist-specific clinical judgment and optimization of patient care.
TPV empowers pharmacy technicians to expand their professional technical oversight and unique knowledge of medication products. TPV is also called Tech-Check-Tech, Final Product Verification, or Delegate-Check-Delegate. TPV Certified Technicians are specially trained and validated professional staff who can be delegated the task of medication product verification. TPV Certified Technicians can assist in decreasing interruptions to the filling workflow and are poised to advance the role of pharmacy technicians. Additionally, TPV Certified Technicians can reduce the need for pharmacists to perform product verification, improve efficiencies in the preparation and delivery of medications, and allow for the redeployment of pharmacists to provide clinical services and participate in direct patient care activities.
