Brief summary

Hormonal contraceptives are medications that require a prescription, traditionally from a physician or advanced practice provider. Over the past decade, pharmacists have gained the authority to prescribe contraceptives in many states, allowing patients to access these medications directly in pharmacies without first seeing another healthcare provider. The Pharmacist Resource to Implement Services as Modules (PRISM) is an Electronic Health Record platform designed to streamline workflows and provide clinical decision support, making it easier and safer to deliver clinical services in community pharmacies. This pilot study will evaluate patient-reported outcomes for women receiving contraceptive services from pharmacists using the PRISM platform at five community pharmacies across the United States over a 12-week period. The study will assess the quality of care, contraception continuation and failure rates, side effect rates, preventative healthcare utilization, and overall patient experience with pharmacy contraceptive services.

Interventions
