Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To advocate for independent pharmacy to embrace digital health as a means to improve patient outcomes and compete more strongly in an increasingly competitive business environment.
UNASSIGNED: Independent pharmacies are positioned to be at the forefront of adopting digital health tools for a variety of reasons. They often can make changes to their business model faster than a major retail chain, are often in rural locations where few other providers are located, and are already starting to offer the types of clinical services that can be greatly aided by digital health. This commentary presents the case for a change in the current model of pharmacy practice to one which embraces digital health. The role of the pharmacist would grow beyond exclusively medication management to incorporate tools such as wearable health trackers and mobile phone applications. By utilizing digital health, the pharmacist can obtain a greater amount of patient health data via an asynchronous electronic uploading process, and then use that data to further improve their ability to offer clinical services.
UNASSIGNED: Digital health is a powerful tool that should be embraced by independent pharmacy. By leveraging digital health, pharmacies can improve both accessibility and quality of care, thus providing a competitive advantage in the retail marketplace.

摘要：
■倡导独立药房将数字健康作为改善患者预后的手段，并在竞争日益激烈的商业环境中进行更激烈的竞争。
■出于各种原因，独立药房处于采用数字健康工具的最前沿。他们通常可以比主要的零售连锁店更快地改变他们的商业模式，通常在农村地区，其他供应商很少，并且已经开始提供数字健康可以极大帮助的临床服务。本评论介绍了将当前的药学实践模式更改为采用数字健康的模式的案例。药剂师的角色将超越专门的药物管理，纳入可穿戴健康跟踪器和手机应用程序等工具。通过利用数字健康，药剂师可以通过异步电子上传过程获得更多的患者健康数据，然后利用这些数据进一步提高他们提供临床服务的能力。
■数字健康是一个强大的工具，应该被独立药房所接受。通过利用数字健康，药房可以提高护理的可及性和质量，从而在零售市场上提供竞争优势。
