title: [Usefulness of sharing medication-related reviews based on questionnaire survey, and the cooperation between hospital and community pharmacist at conference prior to discharge].
abstract: Owing to the Japanese healthcare system reform, the place where patients receive medical care is beginning to shift from hospital to home. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of sharing medication-related reviews through a questionnaire survey and hospital pharmacist intervention survey. It appears that almost all community pharmacists have inadequate information at the time of dispensing medication to, monitoring adverse effects of, and counseling cancer patients. There is no doubt that hospital pharmacists should provide more information to community pharmacists at conference prior to discharge. Fortunately, at the Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital, hospital pharmacists and community pharmacists work closely to contribute to an effective patient care at discharge. Thus, there is an urgent need to ensure greater cooperation between hospital pharmacists and community pharmacists in Japan.
