Design and Implementation of Tech-Check-Tech Programs in North Dakota Pharmacies.

Tech-check-tech (TCT) programs in pharmacies are beneficial in facilitating a transition from fee for service dispensing tasks to advanced patient care, but they are underutilized. To describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a transferable TCT program in several North Dakota pharmacies, with the goal of facilitating future efforts in other states. We developed a universal TCT implementation toolkit, recruited 6 pharmacies to implement it, developed an educational program for the pharmacies, and worked with the pharmacies over a year to assess success of the program.
