The CAP, alongside the American Medical Association (AMA) and other medical societies, has co-signed a letter opposing the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services (ECAPS) Act (S. 2426), citing patient safety concerns.
The impact: If enacted, the bill could lead to pharmacists managing patient care for illnesses like COVID-19 and influenza, without adequate oversight.
What they’re saying: The letter calls on lawmakers to reject the bill, emphasizing the need for physician-led, team-based treatment to maintain quality patient care.
