Patient Care Technician
A patient care technician is a healthcare professional who supports nurses, doctors and other medical staff in caring for patients during hospital stays or other visits. Patient care technicians observe, catalog and communicate needs and concerns to medical staff while reporting any changes in status to the patient’s care team.
Pharmacology
Pharmacology provides detailed explanation of topics essential to a thorough understanding of drug sources, legislation relating to drugs, drug references, forms of drugs, drug classifications and actions, the medication order, basic principles for the administration of medications, universal precautions, standard precautions, nonparenteral medications, parenteral equipment and supplies, preventing needlestick injuries in health care settings.
OSHA/HIPAA Training
HIPAA and OSHA training are both focused on high standards of quality. Where HIPAA protects a healthcare patient’s information, OSHA provides a safe workplace for employees and customers/patients. Training is necessary to promote safe and healthy working conditions.
Career & Certification
The American Medical Certification Association is a provider of national certification exams in the allied healthcare industry.
The Nationally Registered Certified Patient Care Technician (NRCPCT) designation demonstrates to colleagues, patients, employers and the public at large that certified individuals have the medical knowledge and medical assistance skills to provide direct patient care in health care settings.
Patient care technicians who are NHA certified (CPCT/A) are better prepared to tackle these responsibilities than CNAs or PCTs who are not certified.
