PharmaSmart Programs
Remote access to a validated reading
In rural and underserved communities, the barrier to blood pressure control is often the drive. A PharmaSmart station in the local health unit, pharmacy or community center puts a clinically validated reading within reach between provider visits — and sends the result to the person's phone, where telehealth follow-up can act on it.
Why it works here
What the station does for you
- A fixed screening point —
for communities without a clinic nearby — self-service, no staffing to find
- Results by text or email —
, so follow-up can happen by phone or telehealth
- Network reporting —
across every county site, for the public health program funding the placements
Built for public health reach
Durable, unattended and remotely managed — one coordinator can run a statewide network of stations without leaving the office.
Readings flow to the Digital Health Tracker and, where integrated, the patient record — so a reading taken in a town of 900 still lands in the chart.
In the field
The Arkansas Department of Health placed PharmaSmart stations in 90 Local Health Units statewide to expand remote access to blood pressure monitoring in rural and underserved communities.
Data capture & reporting
Coverage you can map
Rural programs are judged on access. The station's reporting shows exactly where screening reach grew, county by county — and who was reached for the first time. Every reading the station takes becomes data you own — two of the reports it builds for you:
Readings by region
First-time vs repeat users by month
- County and site coverage — readings per Local Health Unit, mapped against the population served
- First-time screener rate — how many users had no recent reading anywhere
- Telehealth referral conversions — flagged readings that became a phone or video visit
- Remote fleet health — uptime per site, so a station three counties away never sits dark
Who reads it: state and county public health leadership, FQHC and rural health clinic directors, grant managers.
Cadence: monthly site report · quarterly county coverage review · grant-period exports.
