Abstract (English):	Introduction: Pharmaceutical interventions (PI) are important for the resolution of drug-related problems (DRP). An alternative to efficiently meet this need is telepharmacy, defined as a modality of pharmaceutical services provided remotely through information and communication technologies (ICT). Objectives: To evaluate PI through telepharmacy in terms of their benefit to treatment effectiveness and/or safety. Methods: Retrospective observational study. Data were obtained from the pharmacotherapeutic records of eight community pharmacies that carried out PI through telepharmacy from November 2020 to October 2021. PI were evaluated using impact codes (benefit to treatment effectiveness and/or safety). Results: A total of 21 patients participated, of whom 11 were men. The median age was 61 years (Q1-Q3: 55-67). According to the ATC code, the most prevalent drug groups were: A--Alimentary tract and metabolism (n=38; 24.2%) and C--Cardiovascular system (n=31; 19.8%). A total of 183 DRP were identified (90 potential and 93 actual) and 121 PI, of which 51.2% could be evaluated (n=62; 44 PI on effectiveness and 18 PI on safety). Conclusion: The PI carried out by community pharmacists were assessable and improved both the effectiveness and safety of medications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción. Las intervenciones farmacéuticas (IF) son importantes para la resolución de problemas relacionados con los medicamentos (PRM). Una alternativa para cubrir eficientemente esta necesidad es la telefarmacia, que se define como una modalidad de servicios farmacéuticos a distancia que utiliza las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). Objetivos: evaluar las IF a través de telefarmacia en cuanto al beneficio en la efectividad y/o seguridad del tratamiento. Métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se obtuvieron datos de las historias farmacoterapéuticas de ocho farmacias comunitarias, que desarrollaron IF (Intervenciones Farmacéuticas) a través de telefarmacia desde noviembre de 2020 hasta octubre de 2021. Las IF se evaluaron mediante códigos de impacto (beneficio de la efectividad y/o seguridad del tratamiento). Resultados: participaron un total de 21 pacientes, de los cuales 11 fueron varones. La mediana de la edad fue 61 años (Q1-Q3: 55-67). Según el código ATC, los fármacos más prevalentes fueron: A-Tracto alimentario y metabolismo (n=38; 24,2%) y C-Sistema cardiovascular (n=31; 19,8%). Se identificaron 183 PRM (90 potenciales y 93 reales) y 121 IF de los que se pudieron valorar el 51,2% (n=62; 44 IF de efectividad y 18 IF de seguridad). Conclusión: Las IF realizadas por los farmacéuticos comunitarios fueron evaluables, mejoraron la efectividad y la seguridad de los medicamentos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
