In this episode of Post-Scrip, our host Henry Hine is joined by Scott Pace, PharmD, JD of Impact Management Group / Kavanaugh Pharmacy. Scott gives us a preview of his upcoming presentation of Test & Treat for community pharmacies and shares a bit about his fascinating background in the industry.
Pharmacy-based Test and Treat programs increase access to health care by allowing pharmacists to perform appropriate assessments and diagnostic tests and to treat patients based on the results of those tests. Throughout COVID-19, pharmacies have stepped up to close a gap in care and improve health equity throughout the United States. Many states lack the regulatory framework to continue this valuable patient care service in the absence of the PreP Act allowances. This program will serve to review the regulatory framework of Arkansas and Florida and provide lessons learned for other states to work with regulatory agencies to maintain this standard of care. Scott will be presenting with Jeff Mesaros, PharmD, JD - Ro to dive deeper into this topic at the ASPL National Conference.
