The American Society of Health- System Pharmacists (ASHP) believes that specially trained pharmacy technicians can assume important supportive roles in pharmacy informatics. These roles include automation and technology systems management, management of projects, training and education, policy and governance, customer service, charge integrity, and reporting. Such roles require pharmacy technicians to gain expertise in information technology (IT) systems, including knowledge of interfaces, computer management techniques, problem resolution, and database maintenance. This knowledge could be acquired through specialized training or experience in a health science or allied scientific field (e.g., health informatics). With appropriate safeguards and supervision, pharmacy technician informaticists (PTIs) will manage IT processes in health-system pharmacy services, ensuring a safe and efficient medication-use process.
美国卫生系统药剂师学会（ASHP）认为，经过专门培训的药学技术人员可以在药学信息学中承担重要的支持性角色。这些角色包括自动化和技术系统管理、项目管理、培训和教育、政策和治理、客户服务、收费完整性和报告。此类角色要求药学技术人员在信息技术（IT）系统方面获得专业知识，包括接口知识、计算机管理技术、问题解决和数据库维护。这些知识可以通过在健康科学或相关科学领域（例如，健康信息学）的专门培训或经验获得。有了适当的安全措施和监督，药学技术人员信息专家（PTI）将管理卫生系统药学服务中的 IT 流程，确保安全有效的用药流程。
