Study Summary

This trial will compare two ways of caring for adults with COVID-19, looking at how well they are cared for and how much time & money it costs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with COVID-19 who request Paxlovid through electronic visits (e-visits) on weekdays from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm during the study period. There are no specific exclusion criteria, so it's open to all patients meeting the inclusion conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of managing e-visit requests for Paxlovid: one where pharmacists handle them and another where a group of adult and family medicine doctors do. It looks at how well each method works by checking counseling quality on drug interactions and how fast prescriptions are given.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on management methods rather than new medications, side effects relate more to potential issues in care like delays or inadequate drug interaction counseling rather than physical health symptoms.
