説明

<p>In 2020, the Japan Community Healthcare Organization (JCHO) Hoshigaoka Medical Center started providing information to community pharmacies about patients admitted to the acute care ward using discharge medication summaries (the summaries). We conducted an online self-recording survey of 149 pharmacies belonging to the Hirakata City Pharmacists Association to clarify the usability of the summaries, any related issues, and to further discuss future collaboration between hospitals and pharmacies. 46 pharmacies have received the summaries in the past, of which 44 pharmacies answered that they have utilized the summaries with patient instruction and prescription queries of doctors. However, two pharmacies responded they did not utilize the summaries, and the reasons were (a) the information was not timely and (b) patients whom the discharge medical summary was sent for did not come to the pharmacy. There were some requests regarding the summaries such as, “I would like to know what kind of information hospital pharmacists want from community pharmacists.” Preference for sharing information other than the summaries (e.g., online tools) with hospital pharmacists was related to whether the pharmacy was providing home pharmaceutical visit services. The survey revealed that, in addition to the usability of the summaries, there are also events that prevent them from being utilized. Some of the challenges include the timing of sending the summaries, the accurate identification of the family pharmacy and the communication of follow-up after discharge from hospital. Collaborating with pharmacies providing home pharmaceutical visit services would be beneficial in creating new system of bidirectional information sharing.</p>
