"...offers a view on how pharmaceutical care in the digital age can improve outcomes and recognize[s] the necessity of blending technology with the human side of healthcare.... Digital enhancements rule healthcare nowadays, and this text frames this very nicely. The authors do an admirable job of providing the background and scope of the current state of digital permeation, guiding the reader with adequate examples of technological commons.... This text's audience is all levels of pharmacy practitioners and students alike.... [and] each author does a nice job creating an inclusive approach.... Overall, the text is compelling and keeps the reader engaged. The QR codes dispersed throughout the chapters led to pertinent information outside of the text and are a modern twist on the presentation of material. Readers can apply its content immediately to their own practices." -- (c)Doody's Review Service, 2024, Joseph Robert Stavish, PharmD, MSPopH (Thomas Jefferson University)
