Episode 24 | Credentialing and Privileging of Pharmacists - Ryan Steadman and Shannon Steele
Description
Pharmacists have long desired to practice at the "top of their license," and this ideal is becoming more of a reality in the United States. A number of states have granted pharmacists the ability to provide chronic disease state management and test-to-treat services, which can both include prescribing. However, practicing according to this status as a provider requires a demonstration of expertise and competency that is new to many pharmacists. So, what are credentialing and privileging, and what do these ideas mean for pharmacy practice advancement today? Dr. Ryan Steadman, Senior Vice President of Pharmacy at CareSource, and Shannon Steele, Pharmacy Community Program Manager at CareSource, join us in the studio to discuss pharmacy practice advancement and the roles that credentialing and privileging play in these efforts.
