BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications are highly effective at reducing HIV transmission despite their underutilization. Pharmacists can be involved in HIV PrEP management through collaborative practice agreements (CPAs).
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to (1) describe the development of a CPA for a pharmacist-led HIV PrEP service within an outpatient primary care clinic and (2) describe the growth of the HIV PrEP CPA service after implementation.
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION: The service was developed and implemented within a network of 7 outpatient general internal medicine (GIM) clinics associated with a large academic medical center. Pharmacists are embedded in the clinics and provide care alongside an interprofessional team.
PRACTICE INNOVATION: An HIV PrEP CPA was developed and implemented by primary care pharmacists to increase access to HIV PrEP therapy through pharmacist-led visits. The pharmacist-led visits were piloted at one site before expanding to the other primary care clinics.
EVALUATION METHODS: Data were analyzed using an electronic health record-generated report that included all patients prescribed HIV PrEP medications by a GIM primary care provider (PCP) within the last year. The report was generated before the start of the intervention in October 2021 and again in May 2022. Retrospective chart review was then used to identify prescribing patterns and referrals to the pharmacy HIV PrEP CPA.
RESULTS: Seven months after the start of the HIV PrEP CPA, 122 patients were prescribed HIV PrEP by a GIM PCP. Thirty-four patients (27.9%) were newly started on HIV PrEP by a GIM PCP since the beginning of the initiative. A total of 53 patient referrals (43.4%) were placed to the pharmacy team. Five of the 7 GIM clinics have established pharmacist-led HIV PrEP services.
CONCLUSION: This report describes the successful development and implementation of a pharmacist-led HIV PrEP CPA in Ohio.
