Collaborative Practice Agreements

Building Better Care Through Collaboration and Consulting

At Wright Geriatric Consulting, we believe that collaboration between healthcare professionals is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Through Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPAs), we work alongside physicians in community-based clinics to provide enhanced medication management and patient care services. These agreements allow pharmacists to take an active role in patient care, helping to improve medication adherence, chronic disease management, and overall health outcomes.

We prioritize face-to-face patient interactions and offer in-clinic services, ensuring that our consulting services integrate seamlessly into clinical workflows.

How Collaborative Practice Works in Texas

In Texas, CPAs enable physicians and pharmacists to collaborate on direct patient care. Under these agreements, a physician authorizes a pharmacist to provide specific patient care services within an agreed-upon scope. Wright Geriatric Consulting works within these guidelines to offer safe, effective, and compliant pharmacy services.

Through CPAs, pharmacists can:

• Adjust medication therapy based on clinical guidelines, patient response, and laboratory values.

• Monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

• Order and interpret laboratory tests related to medication management.

• Provide direct patient education and counseling to ensure safe and effective medication use.

• Reduce medication-related problems, including adverse drug reactions, polypharmacy risks, and drug interactions.

• Optimize deprescribing strategies when appropriate to minimize unnecessary medications and improve patient quality of life.

Wright Geriatric Consulting’s Approach to Collaborative Practice

Our collaborative approach is designed to enhance the physician’s treatment plan while offering patients a higher level of medication-focused care. We provide:

• Personalized Medication Management
  Every patient is unique, and our medication management services are tailored to individual health needs, considering age-related changes, chronic conditions, and lifestyle factors.

• Face-to-Face Patient Consultations
  We meet with patients in person, either in-clinic or through structured appointments, to assess medication adherence, identify barriers to treatment success, and provide education on their prescriptions.

• Integrated Chronic Disease Management
  Working closely with physicians, we help patients manage chronic conditions more effectively by adjusting medications, providing lifestyle guidance, and tracking progress over time.

• In-Clinic Pharmacist Support
  Our pharmacists can be available on-site in community clinics, offering real-time consultations, medication reviews, and clinical support for both providers and patients.

• Regulatory Compliance & Documentation
  We ensure that all pharmacist interventions, medication adjustments, and patient interactions are well-documented and aligned with Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) regulations and physician oversight requirements.
