Abstract

Telehealth is an emerging sector in Singapore. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, telehealth enabled patients to access medical and medication-related services while supporting social distancing efforts. In this article, we provided an overview of the roles of community pharmacists in telehealth in Singapore. In collaboration with various telehealth providers, Watsons Singapore offered medication-related services including reviewing electronic prescriptions and optimizing medication regimens, for both local and international patients. While there were challenges to resolve, these collaborations allowed community pharmacists to continue to utilize their specialized skills in medication management and optimization in the new digital telehealth workflows.
