General News New NCAP COVID-Testing Resource NCAP unveils our COVID-19 Testing Toolkit. This resource is set up as four modules: 1) general testing information
2) diagnostic testing information
3) antibody serology testing information 4) documentation and billing information.
This toolkit was created to assist NC pharmacists who are interested in getting involved in the provision of COVID-19 testing. NCAP used a work group of pharmacists involved in testing, and a Masters of Public Health and Doctor of Pharmacy student team from Campbell University to create this comprehensive resource. As we all know, new information is emerging every week regarding COVID-19 testing, we have a process in place to periodically update the toolkit as new information becomes available. We also have plans to create a Q/A
portal for members to ask questions about COVID testing, and we plan to offer a webinar in July to accompany the toolkit but will use a panel approach to address more of the ‘art’ of testing vs. ‘the science’ of testing. Stay tuned for more information about these additions. To access the toolkit click here.
