H 2134 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to collaborative drug therapy management optimization

This bill allows collaborative drug therapy management in ambulatory care clinics licensed under Massachusetts law. It directly affects these clinics, attending physicians, and collaborating pharmacists by permitting them to work together on medication management plans. The key provision requires that such management be supervised by both the physician and pharmacist, either on-site or off-site, and approved by the clinic's medical leadership. This change expands the scope of practice for pharmacists in specific clinic settings to optimize patient care.
