Abstract: Ensuring the safe and effective use of medications is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery, directly impacting patient outcomes and overall quality of care. Technician-driven quality improvement initiatives have emerged as a powerful approach to enhance medication safety and optimize medication use processes. By actively involving pharmacy technicians and nursing technicians in data collection, error reporting, and process analysis, healthcare organizations can gain valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. This paper explores the roles of technicians in driving quality improvement efforts related to medication use, highlighting their contributions to data collection, error reporting, process gap identification, and opportunities for standardization. Additionally, it examines the pivotal role of nurse coordinators in leading and facilitating these quality improvement initiatives, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and implementing systemic changes to enhance medication safety and effectiveness.
