Pharmacists' attitudes toward PAs. Results of a Wisconsin study
Physician Assistant (American Academy of Physician Assistants)
|August 8, 1987
Abstract:
Eight months after physician assistants in Wisconsin were given the authority to write prescriptions, a survey of pharmacists in that state indicated that PAs were utilizing the privilege. The survey further concluded that the technical quality of prescriptions written by PAs was appropriate, that pharmacists have confidence in prescription writing by PAs, and that other professionals in health care and the public need to be informed about PA prescribing authority.
