[The cooperation between pharmacists and nurses in outpatient cancer chemotherapy]

The cooperation between each section and exchange of information are important in outpatient cancer chemotherapy. At Tokai University Hachioji hospital, we adopted a sheet that supports aseptic preparation of anticancer agents and a sheet for exchanging information. The purpose of the sheet is to grasp the information that we get in each section. The main information that we exchanged was its contents about an order input, drip infusion rate and a dosage order of antiemetic or anticancer drugs. By having added the sheet, we could unify a mixture preparation and show a clear presentation to nursing of a preparation method that can be enabled. In addition, acquisition of information obtained in each of the section became easy. In this way, by cooperating between sections and sharing information that we obtain, it is thought that it leads to improving the safety of outpatient cancer chemotherapy.
