I have extensive experience working with pharmacy data management systems such as Rx30, PioneerRx, and EPIC. My responsibilities included entering and updating patient and medication data, ensuring accuracy, and generating reports for pharmacists. I am proficient in troubleshooting system issues and maintaining compliance with HIPAA regulations. My attention to detail and organizational skills ensure that data is managed efficiently and securely.

To ensure accuracy, I follow a systematic approach that includes double-checking entries, cross-referencing data with source documents, and using validation tools within the software. I also maintain a checklist for common errors and stay updated on pharmacy regulations. Regular audits and peer reviews further help in identifying and correcting discrepancies, ensuring the integrity of the data.

In my previous role, I noticed a discrepancy in patient medication records during a routine audit. I immediately cross-referenced the data with the prescription logs and identified a data entry error. I corrected the error, informed the pharmacist, and implemented a new verification step in our data entry process to prevent future occurrences. This proactive approach ensured patient safety and maintained data accuracy.

Handling confidential patient information requires strict adherence to HIPAA regulations and company policies. I ensure that all data is accessed only by authorized personnel and stored securely. I use encrypted systems for data entry and transmission, and I am vigilant about logging out of systems when not in use. Regular training on data privacy practices keeps me updated on best practices for maintaining confidentiality.

I stay current by attending industry webinars, subscribing to pharmacy journals, and participating in continuing education courses. I also follow updates from regulatory bodies like the FDA and DEA. Networking with peers and joining professional organizations like the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) helps me stay informed about the latest trends and best practices in pharmacy data management.
