4.  An article in the American Journal of Medical Research defines telepharmacy as
"… the delivery of pharmaceutical care to outpatients at a distance through the
use of telecommunication and other advanced technologies.”

5. The American Pharmacists Association noted, "Just like
telemedicine has been essential during the COVID-19
crisis, the same can be said for telepharmacy." We
recently highlighted how telepharmacy is making a
difference during the health crisis.

6. 1. Medication Adherence.
Clinical Pharmacist Shortage.
Pharmaceutical Counselling Activity:
Home drug delivery (HDD).
2. Remote Education and Handling of
“Special Pharmacies”:
Medical Staff Training and Patient
Education.
Remote Surveillance of Anti-Neoplastic
Medication Preparation.
Control of Medicine Chests in Seagoing
Vessels

7. 3. Prescription and Reconciliation of Drug Therapies:
Remote prescription checking.
Medication reconciliation checking.
Drug dispensing supervision by pharmacy staff.
A Telepharmacy Robotic Supply Service (TPRSS).

8.  The adoption of telepharmacy can represent a solution to the problem of
pharmacist shortage and can contribute to guarantee a proper pharmaceutical
assistance in underserved areas.

9.  the cooperation between public and
private sectors as well as scientific
institutions and academia is of
paramount importance to obtain
relevant results and an effective
improvement in healthcare.

13.  Store-and-forward systems of
teledermatology
 Videoconferencing

20.  Telecardiology is a modern medical practice, which uses the power of
telecommunications to achieve remote diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
This includes coronary heart disease, chronic and acute, as well as arrhythmias,
congestive cardiac failure and sudden cardiac arrest.

21. Pre-Hospital:
Recent advances in telecardiology have allowed for rapid and
reliable remote ECG interpretation. Using a specialized hand-
held ECG unit the user takes a 12-lead ECG in the usual
manner.

22.  In addition to the 12-lead ECG device, there is
also a 1-lead variant. These devices are available
in the form of a watch which may be worn on the
wrist quite comfortably for long periods at a
time.

23.  In-Hospital:
 It consists in the exchange of medical information across hospitals, aimed at
improving patient outcomes. In-hospital telecardiology has been used with
increased frequency between rural small hospitals and tertiary care
centeres

24.  Post-Hospital:
 Post hospital telecardiology is an integrated approach that involves the
patient, the family, the GP and specialized cardiac centers. Real-time
transmission of objective data (physiological data and biological signals) in
association with personal data given by the patient is a new approach to the
problem.

25.  Empowering GPs
 Reducing referrals to secondary care
 Reducing missed diagnoses
 Reducing door-to-balloon time
