TCT program requirements: which statements are required?

• A. All of the above
• B. designate 1 RPh
• C. include TCT as tech duty in utilization plan
• D. develop site specific training programs tailored to the pt pop and med distribution system

Answer: (A)

A TCT program must have proper supervision, explicit utilization plan duties, and site-specific training to be safe and compliant. Having one designated pharmacist to oversee the program provides clear accountability and professional oversight for all checks and workflows. Including the TCT function as a tech duty in the utilization plan ensures there is a defined scope of practice, who performs the checks, under what conditions, and how any issues are handled. Developing training that is tailored to the specific patient population and the medication distribution system ensures that technicians understand the real-world workflows and risks they will encounter in that setting. Because all three elements are required, the correct choice is that every statement is necessary.
