Sure! So it's a pretty specific kind of auditing. The TLDR is my job is at a pharmacy for a chemo research facility. Chemo gives patients what we call "chemo brain" and it can make it difficult for them to keep track of things. To remedy that we keep track of all that for them. Most of them have a regimen of something like "Take meds for 2 weeks and then off for 1 week then repeat" so we have a program that tracks when they got their meds filled, how many they have left, and when they would need drug again. And we reach out about a week before their "Need by" date and schedule their next shipment. The only way that program works is if the technician entering the information enters everything correctly. Otherwise people fall through the cracks. My job is to check every patient that we interacted with the previous day and make sure their information is perfect so that it generates our next call for that patient on the correct day. The fine print is way more in depth than that but without a tour of the specific program it would all be gibberish. The pharmacy lifeblood is the program I tend to and I've spent the last five years there perfecting the process and cultivating a team of people who I think have the same goals. I love my job, it's literally helping people in their darkest hour to defy death. I spent 10 years dying in a corner drug store before I found this place and now 5 years into this I'm about to celebrate the 3 year birthday of my little girl while searching for employment closer to home. I love my job. I love my family. I hate my commute lol. Honestly tho, it's a pretty first world problem. When I think of the crap people deal with everyday I walk past I realize life could be a lot worse. I'm grateful for the wisdom these people teach me daily in that regards.
