Each patient was followed for 48 weeks on both face-to-face and telematic visits, scheduled and unscheduled at the patients’ request. Patient experience (IEXPAC questionnaire), and satisfaction (EVASAF) were determined. Secondary variables included pharmaceutical care interventions, care coordination and clinical variables (compliance with pharmacotherapeutic objectives according to the clinical conditions of each patient), additionally measurement of individual holistic results (EQ5D-5L score) was evaluated.Results: A new telepharmacy tool (called Telemaco) was developed for a multidisciplinary healthcare team (available at: https://inteligeniapps.com/telemaco/) that includes seven different functionalities. We evaluated the first 20 patients (50% women) were included. Their median age was 66.0 years (IQR=14). A total of 215 visits were made (adding 150 video calls). A total of 64 visits were unscheduled (29.7%). The patient´s experience showed improvement (7.4 vs 9.5, p< 0.005). The results of the EVASAF questionnaire were also higher (44 vs 48, p 0.05).Conclusion: Telepharmacy based on the CMO-PC model, using the “Telemaco” tool, has improved the patient experience, satisfaction, and offered other advantages over the traditional model, including more pharmaceutical interventions adapted to the needs of each patient.Keywords: telepharmacy, pharmaceutical care, patient satisfaction, outcome assessment |
