Kimberly Griffin
@kimberlygriffin
Certified Pharmacy Technician with 15+ years in hospital clinical pharmacy, Medicare Star compliance, and patient advocacy.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Pharmacy Technician with 15+ years of hospital experience, blending clinical pharmacy operations with patient advocacy and compliance oversight. I focus on keeping patients safe through precise medication workflows and strong documentation practices.
In my current population health role, I conduct 1,000+ post-discharge medication reconciliations annually and drive Medicare Star measure adherence through targeted outreach and patient education. I analyze population health data to identify adherence gaps, support compliance audits, and improve performance reporting—contributing to 4- and 5-Star quality ratings.
I’ve also led sterile compounding and medication safety work under USP <797>/<800>, overseen 340B program and patient assistance compliance, and supervised a team of 12 technicians while maintaining QA standards and zero major deficiencies during inspections. I’m now pursuing a Juris Master’s in Health Law and Regulation to deepen my impact at the intersection of healthcare compliance and patient-centered outcomes.
