How many technicians can one pharmacist supervise in a hospital or closed door pharmacy setting?

In North Dakota, the regulations regarding the supervision of pharmacy technicians stipulate that one pharmacist may supervise up to four pharmacy technicians in a hospital or closed-door pharmacy setting. This regulation is designed to ensure that pharmacists can adequately oversee the work of their technicians while maintaining the quality and safety of pharmaceutical care. By limiting the number of technicians a pharmacist can supervise to four, the law promotes effective communication and oversight, which is vital in environments where medication management is critical for patient safety. This helps pharmacists maintain a high standard of practice, ensuring that all tasks carried out by technicians are completed accurately and efficiently.
