Tri Valley Health System has implemented a telepharmacy service through Avera eCARE. This service improves patient safety by allowing a remote pharmacist to verify appropriate medication therapy and provide a source of pharmaceutical expertise during hours outside of regular pharmacy operation.

The Avera eCARE Pharmacy team works within Avera eCARE’s centralized telemedicine facility.
