Abstract
These results highlight both the public readiness to access point-of-care services in community pharmacies and the ability of pharmacists to expedite management of patients with GAS. Pharmacy-based Streptococcus testing can facilitate prompt and appropriate access to antibiotic therapy, as was demonstrated in regions with advanced prescribing authority. Communication of recommendations to the physician remains a barrier.
