Pharmacists Should Deliver Injectable Therapy, JAPhA Report Says
A new report published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association (JAPhA), summarizing the APhA’s Stakeholder Conference on Improving Patient Access to Injectable Medications, states that pharmacists should expand their injectable medication administration beyond immunizations.
The APhA Conference brought together representatives from all practice areas to discuss how pharmacists can enhance outcomes for patients on injectable medications and fill a gap in care, and in the end recommended more than 150 strategies for establishing pharmacists as injectable medication administrators.
