Abstract
Hitachi Mito General Hospital (215 beds) has developed a new system and injection order sheet allowing the pharmacists to prepare all anticancer drugs although there was no computer order entry system. With the new system, modifications to a prescription can now be made daily as needed. Furthermore, all modifications are entered into the hospital's intranet system and through its search function, not only the physician who registered a regimen, but any medical workers can now easily perform the confirmation of a regimen. In addition, because patient education and guidance by pharmacists and nurses start from the beginning of the ambulatory cancer chemotherapy, all patient's treatment and care are now recorded on just 1 sheet per treatment day on the patients' record papers to facilitate sharing of patient's information.
