Updates to a pharmacy-technician driven centralized medication refill service in a large community health system
Abstract:
In 2020, we published a description of the newly implemented centralized refill service (CRS) led by pharmacy technicians in our large community health system. Since that time, the CRS has been refined, updated, and expanded. We have also received many inquiries with common questions about the process from those who seek to implement a similar process. The purpose of this commentary is to 1) provide updates to the process in the 5 years since its implementation, and 2) provide additional insights on specific topics from inquiries to the organization.
