2 Looking back to look forward Flashback: 1969 ASHP workshop defines professional versus nonprofessional tasks for hospital pharmacy services and recommends education/training for nonprofessional personnel Rhode Island Hospital initiates a formal pharmacy technician training program APhA conducts analysis of functions in providing community and hospital pharmacy services and whether pharmacists or pharmacy technicians should perform the tasks 1970s: Policy Process 1971: APhA House of Delegates endorses the appropriate use of supportive personnel as a positive step toward improving quality and quantity of pharmacy services 1972: NABP calls for a review of pharmacist s roles before assigning professional functions to nonprofessionals 1973: NACDS supports greater use of pharmacy technicians and favors on-the-job training programs 1974: NARD opposes use of pharmacy technicians of limited training in the practice of pharmacy as a protection to the public 1981 & 1987: Exams 1981: Michigan Pharmacists Association initiates an exam-based certification program for pharmacy technicians 1983: ASHP begins accrediting technician training programs 1987: Illinois Council of Hospital Pharmacists begins to develop a pharmacy technician certification exam 1992: Scope of Pharmacy Practice Project Sponsored by AACP, APhA, ASHP, and NABP, the Scope of Pharmacy project identified the functions and responsibilities of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, along with the skills and knowledge required to perform those responsibilities This project was considered to be the snapshot of pharmacy practice at the time 1995: Formation of PTCB 1993: Announcement was made at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in December 1993 that a new organization would be formed to develop one national exam for pharmacy technician certification ASHP, APhA, the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists (ICHP), and the Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA), creates the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) as an independent body to create and administer national voluntary certification examinations. PTCB delivers the first exams in 1995.
3 2001: NABP Joins PTCB PTCB expands its Board of Governors to include the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). 2002: ASHP-Accredited Training The number of ASHP-accredited technician training programs reaches a total of 91 across 26 states. 2005: Launch of the ExCPT Exam In 2005, the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ICPT) launched another certification program for pharmacy technicians. As of 2010, it was in the hands of the National Healthcareer Association (part of Ascend Learning), and is now referred to as the Exam for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ExCPT). 2009: NABP Task Force An NABP Task Force on Pharmacy Technician Education and Training Programs issued several recommendations that were subsequently accepted by NABP s executive committee. Among these recommendations were to encourage states to Clarify the terms licensure, registration, and certification, License or register pharmacy technicians, Accept PTCB certification, Report pharmacy technician disciplinary information to a central clearinghouse, Require pharmacy technician education that meets standardized guidelines, and By 2015, require pharmacy technicians to have completed an accredited education and training program as a condition of certification. 2010: ASHP PPMI In 2010, ASHP embarked on the Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI). The Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative recommended: Uniform national standards should apply to the education and training of pharmacy technicians. To support optimal pharmacy practice models, pharmacy technicians must be PTCB certified. By 2015, PTCB should require completion of an accredited training program before an individual may take the PTCE. To support optimal pharmacy practice models, pharmacy technicians must be licensed by State Boards of Pharmacy. All distributive functions that do not require clinical judgment should be assigned to pharmacy technicians. Opportunities for pharmacy technician specialization should be developed. 2011: C.R.E.S.T. Initiative C.R.E.S.T. Summit Consumer Awareness Resources Education State Policy Testing 2 National Surveys Recommendations similar to NABP and PPMI
4 C.R.E.S.T. Recommendations Summit recommendations pertaining to the PTCB Certification Program: Require a minimum period of practical experience. Mandate criminal background checks. Accept only pharmacy technician-targeted CE. Require one of the 20 required CE hours to be medication or patient safety. Require completion of an accredited education program. March 2012 survey reaffirmed the initial 2011 survey. Today s Reality Tech Requirements There are no standard nationwide requirements to work as a pharmacy technician Employers may require: Formal pharmacy technician education Prior experience National certification (Certified Technician -- CPhT) through PTCB or ExCPT State registration Continuing education Formal Education Programs ~750 in the United States 258 accredited by American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Career (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2014) 2012, Median Pay $14.10 hr / $29,320 yr 2012, Number of Jobs 355,300 Job Outlook, % increase Employment increase faster than average for all occupations State Regulations Vary Widely Today: State Regulations 45 states regulate pharmacy technicians 18 states require national certification 5 states require and accept only the PTCE 17 states require a background check 18 states require CE 5 states have a pharmacy technician serving on the state Board of Pharmacy 6 states do not regulate pharmacy technicians Many states have pending legislation or regulations
