ABOUT THIS PODCAST
Collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) are formal agreements between pharmacists and other healthcare providers that allow pharmacists to perform specific tasks independently at the top of their license. CPAs are a powerful tool widely used in the outpatient setting but not used as frequently in the inpatient setting. This episode discusses the considerations for developing and implementing a successful inpatient CPA and the benefits to patient care quality, safety, and efficiency.
