Abstract
According to an APhA Foundation consortium report, collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) are used to create formal relationships between pharmacists and physicians or other providers that allow for expanded services the pharmacist can provide to patients and the health care team. 1 Bluml B.M. Consortium recommendations for advancing pharmacists' patient care services and collaborative practice agreements. J Am Pharm Assoc (2003). 2013; 53: e132-e141 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (27) Google Scholar At their core, CPAs provide an efficient arrangement for a physician, or other prescriber, to delegate some authority to the pharmacist for all patients meeting certain criteria rather than having a prior conversation about each case as it arises. CPAs can also be a useful tool for researchers seeking to implement and evaluate novel services. Donald G.
