Something happened to the pharmacy's remote reviewer

"Our shop pharmacist's father is ill in hospital, he took leave not to come", "Our shop's practicing pharmacist can be reviewed at home through mobile phone, do not have to personally in the shop", "our shop's practicing pharmacist went out to deliver medicine" ... Recently, the public interest litigation department of the Honggang District People's Procuratorate of Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, received the above-mentioned reply when it carried out supervision and inspection on the practice of pharmacy pharmacists in the district.
investigation, prosecutors in Daqing City, Honggang District, the relevant drugstore distribution sales records compared with attendance records, found that several pharmacies have a practicing pharmacist off-duty sales of prescription drugs violations.
, some pharmacy staff argued that practicing pharmacists, although not practising in the store, can use mobile phones for remote review, which can also play a practical role as practicing pharmacists.
, is it compliant to conduct remote reviews at home on your mobile phone? On August 5, 2019, heilongjiang Provincial Drug Administration officially issued a notice on the relevant provisions of the online remote network review prescription (trial) for practicing pharmacists of pharmaceutical retail chains in Heilongjiang Province, which stipulates that practicing pharmacists may conduct online remote network reviews, specifically referring to the medical practitioners equipped by drug retail chains who can provide online review and guidance for rational drug use services through the remote network review system.
, for enterprises carrying out remote review, the number of its stores, staffing, facilities and other aspects of the specific requirements.
Including practicing pharmacists remote reviewers need to comply with the relevant laws and regulations, with Internet tele-diagnosis and treatment qualifications of third-party electronic prescription platform issued by the electronic prescription sales of prescription drugs, remote review of pharmacies should provide remote review room, practicing pharmacists annual clinical expertise training and receive the relevant departments of continuing education records, stores to set up remote video.
It is clear that the drugstores involved did not meet the requirements of the remote reviewer and simply provided an electronic prescription form that was kept internally available for examination and could not play a practical role in the provision of pharmaceutical services by a licensed pharmacist.
At the same time, the practicing pharmacist is responsible for the examination and deployment of prescriptions, provides drug advice and information, guides rational drug use, conducts clinical pharmacy work such as therapeutic drug monitoring and drug efficacy evaluation, and the practicing pharmacist only approves prescriptions remotely by mobile phone, and cannot see and confirm Is the patient himself, can not be face-to-face observation of patients to understand the actual physical condition of drug buyers, can not be comprehensive and objective to guide the use of drugs, can not be timely with patients for drug consultation and communication, so the use of mobile phone remote approval prescription list can not be used as a substitute for pharmacists in pharmacies.
it is clear that the mobile phone for remote review, and does not comply with the relevant provisions, "hanging sheep head selling dog meat" type of false remote review can not be used as a reason for the practice pharmacist not on duty.
can you go if you're a remote reviewer? Since its inception, the remote review system has received high attention in the industry, and the voices are mixed.
think that it simply does not work, but based on the current shortage of practicing pharmacists in our country under the circumstances of expedididiance, compared to the "registered" compliance.
that it is worth exploring to conduct remote aditions through the Internet, and that it is the only way to make efficient use of the value of practicing pharmacists and solve the shortage of practicing pharmacists.
to this, Seberan-Pharmacy Manager Special Writer Li Sibo said: "Remote review is only a transitional phase, in the case of the insufficient number of practicing pharmacists temporarily working.
On the one hand, practicing pharmacists are not able to fully understand the customer's health, especially for the elderly with chronic diseases, can not grasp the safety and effectiveness of the drug prescriptions held by the customer as a whole.
On the other hand, compared to remote review, resident pharmacists are more understanding of the old customers, their health, drug habits, disease types are more understanding, so face-to-face review and guide customers to use drugs, can be holistic and comprehensive consideration, guidance drug use is much safer."
the implementation process, the remote reviewer also encountered different problems.
In March 2019, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, urgently suspended the pharmacy "remote reviewer" because the Wenzhou General Administration of Market Supervision and Administration found that in the actual application process, many drugstore chains used "remote review" as a means to solve the shortage of practicing pharmacists.
and, more importantly, because of this "solution", relaxes the sense of urgency and motivation for practicing pharmacists.
to stop "remote reviewers" and cut off the reality that drugstore chains rely too heavily on "remote reviewers" to deal with "problem with the staffing of practicing pharmacists".
but even if there are many problems, the remote review policy is still popular with most drugstore chains, and indeed to some extent alleviates the problem of understaffing of licensed pharmacists in stores and reduces the operating costs of pharmacies.
In this regard, Hangzhou Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy Chain Co. , Ltd. President Qi Li to SaibaiLan - pharmacy managers said: support the remote review policy, one can ensure the safety of prescription drugs in pharmacies, two can alleviate the shortage of practicing pharmacists, and three also in line with the development trend of Internet Plus.
And for the application of remote reviewers in Kyus practising pharmacy stores, Qi Li revealed to us: At present, all stores in Kyuszhou Grand Pharmacy are equipped with practicing pharmacists, so there is no use of remote review, but Kyuszhou Grand Pharmacy has always retained the qualification of remote review.
