Abstract

Telepharmacy is devised to provide pharmacy operations and patient care at a distance and to expand access to healthcare, enhance patients' safety and improve patient outcomes. A variety of technologies, models of care and interventions are used to develop and provide telepharmacy services, serving diversified populations with different pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, very few randomized controlled studies have evaluated the clinical efficacy of the implementation of telepharmacy services in the management of various cardiovascular conditions, with the strongest evidence being limited to telemonitoring studies in the areas of hypertension and diabetes. Although the clinical efficacy of telepharmacy, and its cost effectiveness, are far from being fully proved, the inclusion of telepharmacy services in healthcare models may offer the unique opportunity to increase access to screening and improve care of cardiovascular conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
