Medical care measures of Japan strongly encourage a reduction of medical costs. In such a climate, hospitals encourage inpatients to return home as early as possible, thereby reducing the number of days in their hospital stay to reduce the medical cost. Consequently, the number of patients who receive home-care services has been increasing. Meanwhile, there are many areas that need to be improved for pharmacy to adequately support such advanced home-care services. For example, when a patient switches from inpatient-care to home-care, a pharmacy staff is suddenly asked to provide drugs or to have a home visit to take care the patient. In addition to that, the pharmacy will not receive the medical treatment information of the patient from the hospital. To improve such a case, we report our discussion based on how patient information should be provided to the pharmacy.
日本的医疗保健措施大力鼓励降低医疗成本。在这样的环境下，医院鼓励住院患者尽早回家，从而减少住院天数以降低医疗成本。因此，接受居家护理服务的患者数量一直在增加。与此同时，药房要充分支持此类先进的居家护理服务，还有许多方面需要改进。例如，当患者从住院护理转为居家护理时，药房工作人员会突然被要求提供药品或上门照顾患者。除此之外，药房无法从医院获取患者的治疗信息。为改善这种情况，我们将基于应如何向药房提供患者信息来汇报我们的讨论。
