In this study, a telepharmacy service in primary care for home-living older adults in Northern Sweden's rural areas will be developed and evaluated. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of the service regarding the identification, classification, and resolution of medication-related problems (MRPs). Secondary objectives are to evaluate participants' medication adherence, health-related quality of life, and beliefs about medicines through self-report questionnaires. The telepharmacy service include medication interviews, structured medication reviews, interdisciplinary patient-centred discussions, and follow-ups.
