Pharmacists. The role of the community pharmacist operating under a CPA is to identify and resolve pa- tient-care interventions in accordance to policies and procedures delineated in the CPA. Under state licensure, pharmacists may perform many specific clinical functions without a CPA, including medication therapy management, patient counselling, and disease screening; however, CPAs allow an additional level of autonomy to community pharmacists through the expansion of a physician’s license. Pharmacists may facilitate experiential learning by serving as a preceptor for residents and interns to assist in the delivery of patient-care services relat- ed to the CPA. Following resolution of pharmacist-led interventions, pharmacists must com- municate changes to their collaborating physician in a timely manner. PHARMACY INTERNS AND TECHNICIANS Certain functions of a pharmacist may be facilitated by designees under a pharmacist’s super- vision. For pharmacists to operate sustainably at the top of their licensure, the use of design- ees in a community pharmacy is vital to efficiency. In a CPA, pharmacy interns may identify and resolve patient-care interventions when precepted by a licensed pharmacist. Though the pharmacy intern may assist in the process, the pharmacist preceptor assumes responsibility for the intern’s actions. Pharmacy technicians may assist the pharmacist in organizational functions related to the communication and documentation of CPA activities. The technician may relay therapy changes to collaborating physicians following approval by a pharmacist. Prescription processing and record keeping of communication are functions for which phar- macy technicians are well suited. MEDICAL SUPPORT STAFF The role of medical support staff is to ensure communication from the community pharmacy is documented in the patient’s electronic medical record and stored appropriately for imme- diate retrieval, if necessary. Physicians may assign medical support staff to facilitate this com- munication and subsequent documentation in the electronic medical record. When medica- tion therapy changes are made, nurses or medical assistants may update the patient’s medica- tion list based on the pharmacist’s use of the CPA. In some settings, pharmacy interns com- pleting ambulatory care experiential learning may function as medical support staff.
