New Approaches to Pharmacy Practice: Telepharmacy

Bhavinkumar B Shah ^[2]

Abstract: Telepharmacy refers to providing pharmaceutical treatment when pharmacists and patients are not physically present in the exact location but may communicate and engage using information and communication technology (ICT) facilities [1]. However, due to demographic and geographical considerations, healthcare services are not always accessible to rural residents and communities. Telepharmacy is an emerging term for pharmaceutical service provision that allows qualified pharmacists to provide healthcare services to patients who live far away from a hospital, pharmacy, or other healthcare facility. These services include medication review, patient counseling, and prescription verification [2]. This article offers an in - depth review of the workings of Telepharmacy, along with its advantages and disadvantages in the pharmacy field.
