At Fukuoka Rehabilitation Hospital's pharmaceutical department, in order to provide smooth and continuous medication practice, we have been providing a summary of paper, that includes the Pharmacology Management Guidance Information Summary (Patients' Medical Prescription History：PMPH)to other hospitals or nursing houses when patients leave the hospital.
As a result of providing the PMPH for 10 years, we evaluated the necessity of the PMPH by using the questionnaires attached. 90% of respondent of the questionnaires, needed the PMPH, but the low awareness of the PMPH was found in 24% of the respondents. Moreover, 67% of them thought the PMPH will be propagated in the future in Japan.
Summarizing and evaluating the answers to the questionnaires, we found that the respondents had different needs of information because each of them had different types of job；accordingly, we developed the new PMPH based on the needs of each type of medical staff.
We consider propagating the new PMPH, in order to maintain effective and safe pharmacotherapy as a medical cooperation tool.
