Jordanian experience: The internet pharmacy drug delivery platform during the COVID-19.

The present study aimed to see how well the newly designed internet hospital drug delivery platform model worked in the pharmacy department during the COVID-19 pandemic to make it easier for patients to get their prescribed drugs during the home quarantine. The internet hospital drug delivery platform was designed and activated by the pharmacy department in collaboration with the information technology department. The pharmacy department, in partnership with the information technology department, built and launched the internet hospital drug delivery platform (IHDD) immediately after the Jordanian government declared a full lockdown. During the quarantine, a total of 5994 prescriptions, including 28494 medications, were delivered to 4853 patients. The majority of the patients ( = 1835; 37.8%) were aged 60 to 74.Nearly three quarters (4722; 78.8%) of the patients were from Amman, the capital of Jordan, and the top five online prescription departments were cardiology ( 1737, 31.6%), endocrinology ( 624, 11.4%), nephrology ( 557, 10.1%), respiratory ( 462, 8.4%), and neurology ( 412, 7.5%). The IHDD platform was found to be efficient and convenient because it handled the challenge of precisely delivering medications to patients on time. To meet the pandemic's challenge, the pharmacy department has extended its inventive powers. In addition to safeguarding the environment, health technology was used to provide a coordinated, systematic program for the administration of medications. The pharmacy department, in partnership with the information technology department, built and deployed the internet hospital drug distribution infrastructure shortly after Jordan's government proclaimed a full lockdown. During the quarantine, a total of 5994 prescriptions, including 28494 medications, were delivered to 4853 patients. The majority of the patients ( 1835; 37.8%) were between the ages of 60 and 74.Nearly three quarters (4722; 78.8%) of the patients were from Amman, the capital of Jordan, and the top five online prescription departments were cardiology ( 1737, 31.6%), endocrinology ( 624, 11.4%), nephrology ( 557, 10.1%), respiratory ( 462, 8.4%), and urology ( 412, 7.5%). The pharmacy department has expanded its capabilities creatively to face the challenge posed by the pandemic. Health technology was utilized to ensure a coordinated, systematic program for the delivery of medications, in addition to preserving the safety of the dedicated staff.
