[Risk assessment for outpatients for cancer chemotherapy].
Outpatient treatment in the cancer chemotherapy center was begun in April 2005 at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health Hospital. Drugs were prescribed 2,590 times during the past year. Times for intravenous drip for various regimens and outpatient chemotherapy desired by patients showed a rough. The number of incidents was three (0.12%) and no accidents occurred. There were 74 consultations with pharmacists about prescriptions (2.6%) and 286 (11.0%) with nurses. Both types of consultation decreased and their contents were different. The number of consultations about prescriptions by special staff at the cancer chemotherapy center was less than at other departments. Therefore, a system assuring safe management is critically required for the establishment of a system for outpatient cancer chemotherapy treatment.
