This document discusses telepharmacy, which is the delivery of pharmaceutical care via telecommunications to patients who may not have direct contact with a pharmacist. It can involve a small rural site being connected to an urban pharmacy center to provide services like dispensing, counseling, and clinical monitoring remotely. Telepharmacy aims to improve access to pharmacy services in rural areas facing pharmacist shortages by allowing one pharmacist to oversee multiple remote sites. It discusses the implementation, technologies used, and different types of telepharmacy including inpatient order review, remote dispensing, IV admixture, and remote counseling. The benefits are seen as improved access to care, patient satisfaction, and economic advantages over opening new pharmacies.
