Vermont Telepharmacy Pilot Program Keeps Outpatient Pharmacy Services Alive in Rural Vermont
Keith McGilvery of WCAX News writes about a state-board approved rural outpatient telepharmacy program that has been running in Plainfield, Vermont for 2.5 years. Even though there's no pharmacist in town, one from Colchester remotely councils patients via a live video link, with a vending machine dispensing drugs to a technician.
The program is expanding Hardwick soon, and "telepharmacies are also up for discussion in Danville, Barton, Concord."
