Abstract
This study explores the perspectives of Australian community pharmacists regarding digital health interventions, examining adoption rates, advantages, and barriers.
A national voluntary online survey was conducted with Australian community pharmacists from September 2022 to June 2023.
Of the 120 responses received, 118 were analysed. The main benefits identified included improved access to health records and patient care quality while major concerns included technical issues and data security. Suggestions for increased digital health adoption included digital health education and regulation.
Australian community pharmacists play a crucial role in adopting digital health yet face significant challenges. Despite the potential of telehealth, community pharmacists have not widely embraced its adoption in their practice. The digital healthcare transformation necessitates collaborative efforts and strict guideline adherence for effective integration.
