“…An exploration of consumer willingness to pay for POCT found that patients are willing to pay out of pocket for testing in a pharmacy, but the amount that they are willing to pay is nominal, with 79% endorsing a willingness to pay only up to $50. 29 Another study looking at patient willingness to receive HCV testing found that 71.7% were willing to be screened in a pharmacy, but only 34.5% were willing to pay more than $20. 30 Although financial challenges exist, they are not insurmountable.…”

Background: The uptake of point-of-care testing (POCT) within community pharmacies at state and national levels is largely unknown despite the endorsement and advocacy efforts of pharmacy organizations, recent legislative advances, and numerous models for successful POCT implementation within individual pharmacy sites.Objectives: The study aimed to describe the current landscape of POCT in Wisconsin community pharmacies and identify opportunities for the advancement of testing and the key factors influencing the realization of these opportunities. Methods: A survey was administered over the telephone to pharmacy managers of community pharmacies in Wisconsin. The sites were randomly selected from predefined geographic regions to mirror pharmacy distribution across Wisconsin. The survey items evaluated provision of POCT, future direction of POCT, barriers and motivators to offering POCT, and pharmacy demographics. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyze data. Results: Pharmacy managers from 147 of the 938 registered community pharmacies (15.7%) participated in the survey. Only 17.1% of the pharmacies were offering POCT; however, 48.3% of managers reported that their pharmacy would likely implement or expand POCT within the next 5 years. The most commonly reported barriers to initiating or expanding POCT were the limitations on pharmacist availability to oversee testing and workflow restrictions. Continuing to advance the pharmacy profession was a top reason for offering or expanding testing services. Discussion: While few pharmacies are offering POCT in Wisconsin, there is motivation for expansion in coming years. Understanding, anticipating and addressing common barriers can faciliate this process. Conclusion: This needs analysis offers a blueprint for researchers, educators, and clinicians to shape POCT efforts by examining the landscape of pharmacy-based testing in their own states and communities.

“…Participants also stated concerns about confidentiality given limited privacy within most community pharmacies today. Additionally, a second study 16 found that surveyed consumers preferred point-of-care laboratory testing be performed within their physician's office, instead of within their community pharmacy. Our study showed similar results, where 61% of participants were unwilling to visit with their community pharmacist for diabetes-related monitoring and point-of-care testing if they had to pay for the service.…”

“…Despite previous and current initiatives to expand community pharmacist services, 2,8 pharmacists continue to remain underutilized. 8,[16][17] Consumers are an important stakeholder group to support the evolution of the pharmacist's role within the community. Consumer advocacy organizations can add the voice of consumer support to expand such services.…”

Consumer unfamiliarity with non-traditional community pharmacist services is likely an influencer of consumers' hesitancy to utilize such services; therefore, an opportunity exists to engage consumers and advocacy organizations in supporting expanded community pharmacist roles. This study can inform consumers, advocates, community pharmacists, primary care providers, and community-based organizations on methods to shape consumer perceptions on the value of community pharmacist expanded services.

“…Igualando a derivada a zero, é possível calcular a variação na renda que compensa exatamente uma mudança marginal no atributo k (Greene et al, 2018). Existem estudos que uniram CA e WTP (Hohmeier et al, 2018), porém em cenários distintos e sem avaliar as utilidades em conjunto, 6 desconsiderando uma solução completa integrada da oferta ótima com seus atributos preferidos e WTP.…”
