Familiarity with pharmacy information systems, electronic health records (EHRs), and certifications such as BCPS or CPHIMS are typically required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, project management, and strong communication skills help bridge the gap between IT and clinical teams. These competencies are crucial to ensure safe, efficient medication management and to improve patient care through optimized technology solutions.
