摘要
OBJECTIVE:To provide a practical guide for the implementation and use of Pharmaceutical Care through Telepharmacy by healthcare professionals and patients in its different scopes of application. To establish a definition of Telepharmacy and describe the technological tools necessary, advantages, and keys to facilitating its implementation.METHOD:Between December 2020 and January 2021, the Board of Directors of the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy, along with the coordinators of the project "Outpatient Care Strategies" ("Mapa Estratégico para la Atención al Paciente Externo") designed a strategy to foster the development and expansion of Telepharmacy in Spain. This strategy involved four courses of action. To develop the first course of action, a call was made in March 2021 among the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy members to develop seven methodological guidelines. The purpose of these documents was to meet the needs for the implementation of Telepharmacy, the most relevant being the development of specific guides for professionals and patients. The guides were developed in four stages between May and October 2021, including a literature review; consensus-based interviews, online workshops, and, finally, the drafting and validation of the final documents. Once the final draft was prepared, a public evaluation of suggestions and observations was performed for a month. The documents were also presented to the Patient Committee of the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy.RESULTS:The Guide for Professionals provides guidelines for the development and implementation of Telepharmacy in its different scopes of application. These guides provide a description of specific goals, healthcare benefits, tools required, and keys to the implementation of Telepharmacy. The Guide for Patients is complementary to face-to-face pharmaceutical care from the point of view of the patient, with special emphasis being placed on the most frequently used tools, the potential benefits, and the keys to facilitating patients' understanding of the purpose and use of Telepharmacy.CONCLUSIONS:A Practical Guide for Professionals and Patients was developed to ensure the standard development, implementation, and spread of Telepharmacy in all its scopes. This guide is intended to help Hospital Pharmacy professionals benefit from Telepharmacy as a complementary tool to face-to-face pharmaceutical care.
