title: [Drug consultation and at home care--the present situation and the point at issue in our hospital].
abstract: We began drug consultation in our hospital and at home care about one year ago, because of progress in the quality of medical care. As the method for drug consultation, we tried to educate patients using our own pamphlets. It was assumed that the education was important not only for the patients but also for their family. Again, it was assumed that the usefulness of a conference with doctors, nurses, MSW and us made for better compliance in taking drugs, assured early detection of side effects and better management of the disease. With home care, it is supposed that the drug consultation will be carried out by clinical pharmacists will make for progress in the quality of medical care.
