Article Synopsis
- The review examines the effectiveness of telephone and video consultations in telepharmacy for adult outpatients since June 2016, specifically noting the increased use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Conducted as a systematic review, the study analyzed data from 2129 articles and included 103 eligible studies, revealing that most telepharmacy services relied on telephone consultations (87%) compared to video (13%).
- Results indicated that patients found telepharmacy consultations delivered comparable or superior care to traditional in-person services, with success factors including access to training, technical support, and digital literacy.
Aim: COVID-19 accelerated telehealth (video and telephone) use for cancer care to reduce disease exposure and transmission. Understanding consumers' health service delivery needs is required to sustain telehealth activity and develop new models of care. We explored consumers' experiences of telehealth in cancer care and their perspectives on improving and sustaining telehealth uptake in the future.
