Pharmacists are well positioned to play a major role in increasing access to emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs). A pilot project in Washington State is testing direct pharmacist prescribing. Through a collaborative drug therapy agreement, a licensed prescriber, such as a physician, delegates to a pharmacist the authority to prescribe ECPs directly to women who meet the assessment criteria. Currently pharmacists at 111 Washington State pharmacies have collaborative agreements in place, and the number of participating pharmacies continues to increase. The response to this initiative has been extremely positive. Women who have received ECPs directly from pharmacists rate their interactions with the pharmacists positively and overwhelmingly cite convenience as the primary reason for going directly to the pharmacy. Physicians and other providers with independent prescribing authority can play a pivotal role by working with pharmacists to replicate the Washington State initiative in the states that allow it.
