Cover Story: Protocol-Based Pharmacotherapy Management (PBPM) facilitates task shifting from physicians to pharmacists; when employed alone, however, it does not ensure effective task redistribution. Implementation requires protocols frequently used in clinical practice. Despite their critical role, few reports detail their development. In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of a protocol development process that utilised pharmacist provisional prescribing records delegated by physicians, recognising the need for clinically applicable protocols. The process increased protocol use frequency, improving prescription safety. The findings of this study underscore the importance of pharmacist-led protocol development in enhancing collaboration, optimising task sharing, and improving patient care, providing a model for broader clinical application. View this paper
