Abstract:
To clarify the issues associated with promoting pharmacists' participation in home medical care(HMC), we performed a questionnaire survey for pharmacists who participated in a HMC training workshop. The cumulative number of participants in the workshop was 284; the majority of the participants was from mid-sized pharmacies and had been working for over 10 years. The rate of pharmacists engaged in HMC was 69% and their main practices were "drug delivery to patients" and "drug administration guidance for patients at home". Many participants responded that the key items for HMC were "cooperation with people with different type of jobs", "a wide pharmaceutical knowledge", and "effective involvement with patients and their families". The present main issues regarding HMC were "low pharmaceutical care fees", "deficiency of pharmacists", and "insufficient collaboration with people with different type of jobs". In order to resolve these issues, it is necessary to construct a cooperation system with other medical and welfare-related societies and to continuously organize such workshop.
