[An approach to the safety management of ambulant cancer chemotherapy].
As for ambulant cancer chemotherapy at Tokai University Hachioji Hospital, we have been employing computerized methods with electronic medical charts for a series of operations, such as receiving medication instructions by doctors, preparation of drugs, chemotherapy regimen-checks and quantitative calculations for admixtures of anticancer drugs. Additionally, we have introduced new features that print information such as chemical data needed for regimen-checks and doctors' answers to questions about prescriptions on the prescriptions of injections. The system is enabled by pharmacists accurately and effectively to check prescriptions of injections, to calculate the precise quantity for admixtures of drugs, and also to share information among pharmacists. It has contributed to the efficiency and medical safety of the ambulant cancer chemotherapy.
