This Agreement then makes it possible to frame the remuneration during a unit dispensation - Short interviews with pregnant women: these are not interviews as we have known so far at the pharmacy! These new interviews can be carried out directly at the counter, and last about 5 minutes. They consist of making pregnant women aware of the risks associated with certain teratogenic substances for pregnancy, and reminding them of the importance of vaccination. The pharmacist sends after the interview, by secure messaging on My Health Space, additional documentation on medication and pregnancy Corresponding pharmacist: due to their proximity to the patient, the corresponding pharmacist can, in collaboration with a general practitioner, renew treatment by adjusting a dosage if necessary. To be implemented, the pharmacist and the doctor must indeed be in the same coordinated exercise structure and in an area with difficult access to care. The corresponding pharmacist is chosen by the patient. - Digital health: digital technology, an essential tool for the proper functioning of pharmacies, has been given special attention in the Agreement She gave a series of indicators to be achieved for pharmacies to receive remuneration, for example: development of E-Prescription, use of Secure Health Messaging, implementation of the Carte Vitale application, realization and remuneration of teleconsultations in the pharmacy
