Leveraging Pharmacy Technicians to Advance the Reach of Modern Antiretroviral Therapy (PHARM ART) in Community Clinics
Sponsor: University of Chicago
Summary
Long-acting injectable HIV medication is an important new innovation in HIV treatment, but complex delivery logistics have resulted in limited access for people with HIV (PWH). The goal of this study is to use clinic-based pharmacy technicians to improve delivery of long-acting injectable HIV medication at federally qualified health centers in Chicago. Participants at the community clinics may be invited to take part in study surveys or interviews. Participants at the community clinics will be part of an observational cohort.

Pharmacy-technician based model
The pharmacy technician will be integrated into the HIV care team, taking referrals, documenting contact information for patients, assessing patient-level barriers to receipt of LA CAB/RPV (social determinants) for discussion with the care team, ensuring drug coverage, coordinating medication delivery and storage, tracking injections, scheduling injections, and completing clinical documentation.
