Our genitourinary medicine service implemented an automated telephone results system in 2010. This system is used in other services but few are able to upload negative results automatically from laboratory software. The use of this system reduced unanswered calls to a telephone results line and also the number of calls that had to be connected to clinical staff. Patients have better access to their results in a timely manner, as per the requirements of the recent Standards for the Management of Sexually Transmitted Infections document.

A 73-year-old, dependent, polymedicated, multi-pathological patient contacts the Community Pharmacy by telephone to request information on a newly prescribed treatment for a urinary tract infection and vitamin D deficiency. The dispensing of the medication to her caregiver leads to further doubts for the patient, so she is offered the Medication Use Review (MUR) service. During the service, several incidences are detected in her treatment, so it is decided to make a referral report to the Primary Care Physician for a complete review of the treatment and thus be able to refer the patient to the Personalized Dosage System (SPD) service in order to guarantee the patient's pharmacotherapeutic safety and improve her adherence to the treatment.
