Healthcare Equity and Access Demands Pharmacists as Providers

View On Demand

Amidst healthcare deserts, physician shortages, and the quest for more affordable care our panel of experts tackle one of healthcare’s most crucial topics — pharmacists as providers.  During the pandemic, pharmacy practice policies were suspended and pharmacists rose to the challenge to administer COVID-19 testing and treating under their newly expanded roles. Now that the public health emergency (PHE) is over, should the pharmacist’s role as a provider of clinical services be expanded and made permanent? The answer to this question will significantly impact what the future of pharmacy, as well as our entire healthcare system, looks like.
