What is Telepharmacy?

Licensed pharmacists provide traditional pharmacy services over a secure interactive television network. Pharmacists are able to provide drug utilization review, prescription verification, and patient counseling to a remote site via telepharmacy technology. Retaining the active role of the pharmacist helps assure the delivery of safe, high-quality pharmacy services that can be at risk when the pharmacist is left out as in the case of internet and mail-order pharmacies.
