Telepharmacology in clinical practice?
The role and collaboration of a pharmacologist with other members of the health care team is very important with his/her knowledge about prescribing, administration and pharmacodynamics of drugs as well as about using the existing drug related information systems. It seems optimal for a health care system to use telepharmacology which means a special pharmacological team (and information system) on duty available 24h to different medical specialists via remote multimedia link.
