Clinical support role for a pharmacy technician within a primary care resource center.

Purpose: The creation of a clinical support role for a pharmacy technician within a primary care resource center is described.

Summary: In the Primary Care Resource Center (PCRC) Project, hospital-based care transition coordination hubs staffed by nurses and pharmacist teams were created in 6 independent community hospitals. At the largest site, patient volume for targeted diseases challenged the ability of the PCRC pharmacist to provide expected elements of care to targeted patients.
