Telepharmacy Takes Hold in Jersey City
Jersey City, New Jersey, is embracing telepharmacy as a viable solution to improve access to pharmacy services for its residents. Telepharmacy, the provision of pharmacy services remotely via telecommunications technology, is revolutionizing the way patients in Jersey City access medication and consultation services.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, telepharmacy emerged as an essential service. It enabled residents to continue receiving their medications without risking exposure to the virus. This led to a 45% increase in telepharmacy usage among Jersey City residents in 2022 compared to the previous year, according to a report from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
The growing aging population in Jersey City, which constitutes about 12% of its population of over 260,000 residents, is also a driving factor. Telepharmacy provides a convenient option for elderly patients who may have mobility issues or lack transportation.
Moreover, healthcare institutions such as the Jersey City Medical Center have been instrumental in promoting telepharmacy through partnerships with telehealth providers. This ensures the integration of pharmacy services into the broader telehealth ecosystem.
As telepharmacy continues to thrive in Jersey City, it’s imperative to address regulatory hurdles and ensure that quality standards are maintained to protect patient safety.
