title: [Challenge of providing pharmaceutical products for use in home care].
abstract: Due to a rapidly aging society, the exact nature and organization of medical services in Japan are now being reviewed. Consequently, medical services have been divided into three distinct sectors; hospitalization services, outpatient services, and at-home services. In such a situation, the basic function of pharmacies is about to change radically. In this study, I report on the challenge of providing pharmaceutical products for use in home care.
