All 50 states now allow pharmacists and physicians to enter into Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPAs) in which one or more pharmacists establish a formal relationship with a prescriber, in which the prescriber can delegate specific tasks to a pharmacist under negotiated conditions, which would not otherwise be permitted under the pharmacist’s normal scope of practice

Although state laws vary, generally, CPAs allow prescribers to delegate specific patient care tasks to pharmacists. The pharmacist’s scope of practice under a CPA is generally defined by established protocols that are condition or disease specific. For example, under a CPA, pharmacists many be empowered to perform patient assessments, order laboratory tests, prescribe drugs, counsel patients, and make referrals for related care. They may also be permitted to select, initiate, monitor, continue, discontinue, adjust, and refill therapy regimens.
