Has anyone ever worked for a telepharmacy company? Something like Pipeline RX. I work in informatics and currently have a weekend job at a community hospital, but it's a bit of a hike for me when I have to drive out there.
What were your hours like? What is the time obligation? Pay? Did you have any clinical involvement, or was it just verifying orders?
I'd really like a gig that lets me keep up my clinical skills while I'm working in IT, and the comfort of working from home sounds appealing. My current side job is pretty relaxed compared to what I'm used to. I don't attend codes, patient acuity is fairly low due to it being a community hospital, and it's rare that I find myself in some sort of emergency situation that I'm not prepared for. We still have a lot of clinical involvement due to pretty decent hospital policies which give me a lot of freedom to order things for patients being seen by the hospitalists.
I'd appreciate the feedback. I'm just a simple IT pharmacist who wants to buy an expensive car next year and also maintain and acceptable baseline knowledge of clinical practice in case I'm ever kicked to the curb at my main job.
