COVID-19 spurred rapid expansion of pharmacy-based point-of-care testing (POCT). This growth was aided, in part, by federal guidance that removed state-level regulatory uncertainty surrounding the ability of pharmacists to administer, interpret, and act on the results of tests. Surveys suggest there is considerable confusion about the legality of these services by state regulators. To ensure the sustainability of POCT services over time, states should consider adopting a standard of care approach to regulation, allowing a flexible framework for practice innovation and expansion over time.
新冠疫情促使基于药房的即时检验（POCT）迅速扩张。这一增长部分得益于联邦指导意见，该意见消除了各州层面围绕药剂师进行检测、解读检测结果并据此采取行动的能力的监管不确定性。调查显示，州监管机构对这些服务的合法性存在相当大的困惑。为确保即时检验服务长期可持续，各州应考虑采用护理标准监管方法，允许随着时间推移形成一个灵活的实践创新与扩张框架。
