Idaho Board of Pharmacy 2009 Year in Review: Telepharmacy eases pharmacist shortage, restores services

The Idaho Board of Pharmacy just released their 2009 Performance Measurement Report. A retail telepharmacy project makes the Performance Highlights list:
We extended a temporary rule that will bring pharmacy services to a remote location in Idaho by means of a telepharmacy. This was a joint effort by the board, the community, our Governor, legislators and Idaho Congressman. We are seeing more of our remote areas lose their community pharmacies and we hope this will be a means of providing our citizens [with a way] to continue to have access to pharmacy services and needed medications.
