[A contribution of the hospital pharmacy for home parenteral nutrition--utilization of a HPN report form].

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a useful measure when terminal cancer patients are hoping to have a transition from the hospital to a home medical care arrangement. Our department has been supporting their family by mixing injections at our clean room. We created a HPN report form to check for an incompatibility of injections, and to prepare an infusion set by our department. By using this report form, the introduction of HPN to the patient's family became smooth. This report form is useful for contacting the accounting section and the visiting nurse station. We report a contribution of the hospital pharmacy for HPN.
