A Hospital Pharmacy Technician’s Role in Reverse Distribution

October 19, 2018

By: Pharma Logistics
Category: Hospital & IDN

As a hospital pharmacy technician, a key function of your job is inventory management. And the pharmaceutical drug return process is an important part of inventory management:

  1. The first step in the returns process is clearing your pharmacy’s shelves of expired, damaged, or otherwise unusable inventory.
  2. The next step is sending back returnable items to the manufacturer or wholesaler for credit and arranging for the proper disposal of non-returnable items in compliance with federal laws.
  3. Return credits are then sent back to your pharmacy or hospital as coordinated by the reverse distributor.

This is quite a bit of work. Some pharmacy teams choose to handle this work themselves.
