Expanding scope: Impact and preferred implementation strategies for statewide test and treat protocols.

Background: Arkansas Act 503 allows pharmacists to test and treat health conditions performed with waived tests using a statewide protocol. To guide development and implementation of these protocols, this study was conducted after enactment of Act 503 and before protocols were published.

Objectives: The objectives were to determine pharmacy leaderships' perceived impact on point-of-care testing (POCT) services in Arkansas and preferred implementation strategies for expanding scope of practice.
