Validation of a Scorecard of Quality and Activity Indicators for Telepharmacy Pharmaceutical Care Services in Spanish Hospitals.
Article in Integrated pharmacy research & practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Telepharmacy must be monitored within a quality management system in order to guarantee the efficiency, safety and quality of the activities it encompasses. The Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy has proposed the first scorecard of quality and activity indicators for Telepharmacy (TIS). The objective of this project is to validate this TIS for its implementation in hospital pharmacy services. Material and Methods: The project was developed in 4 phases: elaboration of the validation questionnaire/validation criteria; selection of hospitals where the study will be carried out; completion of the validation questionnaire by the selected hospitals; analysis of the results, a proposal of conclusions, and preparation of the final document. The validation criteria were performed using the RAND/UCLA methodology for each of the 5 TIS characteristics: holistic, practical, quantitative, usability, and continuous improvement. Characteristics were considered validated when the median was found to be within the score range 5-9 and at least 2/3 (66.66%) of the respondents scored in the range containing the median. Results: Forty-four hospitals were included and the responses related to TIS characteristics were: holistic=8.2 and 98.5% of responses >5; practical=7.9 and 98.9% of responses >5; quantitative=7.9 and 98.6% of responses >5; usability=6.9 and 87.37% of responses >5; continuous improvement= 7.9 and 100% of responses >5. Discussion: TIS has been validated for use in hospital pharmacy services and its tools and supporting documents are very useful and comprehensive. Hospital informatics systems are needed to allow efficient extraction of the data necessary to obtain the TIS indices.
