** Scope of Position
** The Medication Management / Transitions of Care (TOC) Pharmacy Technician provides a valuable patient-centered service by focusing on facilitating TOC, including obtaining and documenting a complete and accurate admission medication history and allergy information in the electronic medical record (EMR) as well as assisting with the discharge medication process.
