CPAs - HIV PEP/PrEP Pharmacists' Services

Overview

This resource provides a comprehensive guide to assist pharmacists in understanding and implementing CPAs. It outlines how to determine if utilizing a CPA is the right approach for the clinical services you offer, the essential elements of a CPA, including regulatory requirements, and best practices for implementation. By leveraging CPAs, pharmacists can expand their roles in patient care, improve health outcomes, and collaborate with other health care providers.

A CPA that allows pharmacists to provide HIV PEP/PrEP services supports public health priorities as well as provides patients with early detection and preventative health services. States authorize pharmacists to perform HIV PEP/PrEP services in a variety of ways, using statewide protocols and standing orders, as well as allowing collaboration with physicians and other health care providers to provide these services.

Practice Administration

The Practice Implementation Center Practice Administration resources assist with workflow development, training, billing, and navigating government rules and regulations when launching a new service. These resources will help ensure you have considered all aspects of your service from start to finish, promoting both efficiency and patient satisfaction.
