Question

question 2/3
what is the purpose of the tech-check-tech program in institutional pharmacies?
to automate the dispensing process for all medication orders.
to enable pharmacists to conduct thorough reviews of medication orders.
to provide an additional layer of safety by having one technician verify the work of another.
to replace the role of pharmacy technicians in medication management.

Explanation:

The Tech-Check-Tech program is a pharmacy safety protocol where a second trained pharmacy technician verifies the medication preparation work of the first technician, adding a safety check before pharmacist review. It does not automate dispensing, replace technicians, or directly focus on pharmacist order reviews.

Answer:

To provide an additional layer of safety by having one technician verify the work of another.
