The Transitions of Care (TOC) Pharmacy Technician plays a vital role in supporting safe and effective medication use during a patient’s transition between healthcare settings—such as admission, discharge, or transfer between care facilities. Under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist, the TOC Pharmacy Technician is responsible for gathering accurate medication histories, reconciling medications, coordinating communication between healthcare providers, and facilitating medication dispensing and delivery post-discharge. Technicians will play an important role in promoting the Meds to Beds program as a continuity of care service and facilitate medication dispensing activities in the pharmacy.

This role requires strong communication, attention to detail, and organizational skills to help reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes during critical points of care transition.
