Telepharmacy - Benefits and drawbacks
1
Telepharmacy can potentially give
patients in remote locations access to
professional pharmacy care that
could not be received locally, which
can lower costs and improve patient
safety through better patient
counseling, drug administration
monitoring, and compliance
monitoring

Telepharmacy - Benefits and drawbacks
The potential costs of telepharmacy are
broadly the same as those associated with all
forms of telemedicine: potentially decreased
human interaction between medical
professionals and patients, an increased risk
of error when medical services are delivered
in the absence of a registered professional,
and an increased risk that protected health
information may be compromised through
electronic information storage and
transmission.

Another application of telepharmacy in
Queensland has been the provision of
pharmaceutical reviews in rural
hospitals that lack on-staff pharmacists.
Although broader use of telepharmacy
could help alleviate a shortage of
pharmacists, Australia has lagged the
United States in its implementation of
telepharmacy, partly because doctors,
nurses, and other health care workers
provide pharmacy services in rural and
remote areas where there are no
pharmacists.

means of delivering pharmacy in
services in rural communities lacking

and implementation methods for

telepharmacy delivered the same
quality of pharmacy services as
traditional facilities, and a study of the
operation of one North Dakota
telepharmacy business from 2002

medication inventory turnover was
lower than the industry average, the
remote sites were able to be operated

The American Society of Health-System
Pharmacists gave the program its 2006
Award for Excellence in Medication-Use
Safety, concluding that the use of
telepharmacy had improved access to
pharmaceutical care and enabled
pharmacists to monitor medication safety
and encourage medication adherence, as
well as making pharmacy care more costeffective.
