Which requirement is included in the TCT program?

• A. All of the above
• B. P&P listing types
• C. Include TCT as tech duty
• D. RPh review all orders against med profile

Answer: (A)

A Tech-Check-Tech program works only when there are clear policies, a defined tech duty, and pharmacist oversight. Documented policies and procedures (P&P) that list which medication types and situations are eligible for TCT create a safe, repeatable process and remove ambiguity about scope. Officially including TCT as a tech duty formalizes who is authorized to perform the second check, giving technicians a recognized role within the workflow while still maintaining accountability. And the pharmacist’s review of all orders against the patient’s medication profile ensures that, even with a tech performing checks, every order is evaluated for safety—looking at allergies, interactions, dosing appropriateness, and overall therapy goals. Because all three elements support safe, efficient operation, each is included in a well-designed TCT program.
