Popis: Teleneurology had been best studied in acute stroke care, but the Coronavirus (COVID)-19 pandemic has highlighted applicability in outpatient practice. Telepharmacy is a convenient method for pharmacists to provide medication management to enhance care. Studies in the outpatient space suggest non-inferiority of teleneurology to increase access to specialized care for patients in rural locations. The role of telemedicine based interdisciplinary collaborations in a metropolitan and under-resourced setting has not been explored. We describe our approach to a teleneurology-telepharmacy collaboration at an urban academic medical center. Since its implementation pre-COVID, the program has expanded and transformed to serve the community further.
