Abstract

As healthcare finances become tighter with the aging society, several studies have aimed at optimizing healthcare costs. One promising approach to reducing healthcare costs is academic detailing, a method of outreach in which academic detailers provide medical information on medical supplies to medical professionals. This activity has existed for over 40 years in other countries; however, it is still in its nascent stage in Japan. In this study, we discuss the development and deployment of an academic detailer training program aimed at fostering human resources for academic detailing in the Japanese medical field. In developing this training program, which brought together highly specialized professionals from different fields, members demonstrated shared leadership based on their professional expertise for a clear shared mission. In addition, the management control system functioned as a mechanism to support organizational operations in which members could incorporate a shared mission into specific activities and act under shared leadership. To implement academic detailing in healthcare settings in the future, pharmacists will need to learn leadership and management skills.
