Jocelyn Freimuth Proposes Borderless Pharmacy Models at ACCP 2026

Freimuth, the owner of Camino Compass Pharmacy Consulting, presented findings from a retrospective study of 482 adult patients treated via a multi-state telemedicine network in 2024. The data indicates that combining virtual consultations with compounding services significantly improves therapy initiation and long-term treatment adherence. Her model positions the pharmacist not as a secondary actor, but as a central coordinator capable of adapting care protocols to various cultural and environmental contexts.

The presentation resonated with the conference theme of "Borderless Pharmacy Practice," which emphasized the necessity of global knowledge exchange to ensure sustainable patient outcomes. Co-authored by Michael C. Raiff and Ryan C. Woods, the study challenges the traditional view of telemedicine as a mere substitute for in-person visits, reframing it instead as a collaborative infrastructure. By leveraging these digital tools, pharmacists can maintain continuity of care in regions where workforce shortages or systemic limitations often impede access to specialized treatment.
