KY Enhanced Services CPA FAQs
What is the Kentucky Enhanced Services Collaborative Practice Agreement?
The Outcomes Kentucky Enhanced Services Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) helps eligible Kentucky pharmacists expand the clinical services they can provide to patients through a physician-signed, state-specific agreement.
The CPA includes a broad range of clinical service protocols, including point-of-care test-and-treat services, preventive care, self-care services, and medication-related services. Outcomes coordinates the physician-signed protocol, annual protocol maintenance, and access to the current agreement so pharmacies can focus on delivering patient care.
