Asked by michelle
A health system uses an AI tool that flags antibiotic orders with potential dosing risks (eg, renal dysfunction). During cart fill, a technician sees a vancomycin order marked “review required: renal function change.” Which is the appropriate role of the pharmacy technician in this scenario?

Notify the pharmacist and do not change, withhold, or adjust the order yourself.
Pharmacy technicians are not authorized to interpret renal function or make dosing decisions — their role is to flag the item for pharmacist clinical review (for example, set the item aside/hold the cart fill per local policy and alert the pharmacist so the pharmacist can review labs, adjust dose or frequency, or contact the prescriber).
