New Advice to the Professions helps licensees understand how other regulated health professionals can be part of the pharmacy team.
As more pharmacies in Alberta look to incorporate the services of other regulated health professionals to collaborate and expand patient care, it is important for licensees and pharmacy teams to understand the additional complexities involved.
ACP has created a new Advice to the Professions that outlines what you need to know, including
- what oversight is required for restricted activities and how to ensure other health professionals are appropriately authorized;
- how policies, procedures, and CQI+ processes must reflect expanded services in order to mitigate risk; and
- how to determine when other health professionals are part of the pharmacy team versus practising independently in a shared premises.
