Cooperation between pharmacies and hospitals necessary to continue drug treatment safely and securely. In order to realize the comprehensive community care system promoted by the government, cooperation between hospitals and local medical institutions is indispensable. This is because if there is no information about drug therapy at the time of admission or discharge, or if it is "wrong" or "old", adverse events may occur in the patient. Therefore, in order to provide patients with "safe and secure drug therapy", seamless drug–drug cooperation between hospitals and pharmacies is necessary. There are two means of drug–drug collaboration practiced at Shion Hospital: "joint guidance at discharge" and "drug management summary for pharmacy pharmacists". Among the joint guidance at discharge and the drug management summary, the five hospitals with abundant medical resources are "central parenteral nutrition management", "enteric nutrition management", "pressure ulcer management", "blood glucose control", and "medication management". Information sharing is important because there are differences between facilities and homes with limited medical resources. In particular, two types of information are objective work such as "administration of medication that adherence can be observed" and interpersonal work such as "proper use of medicines". It is important to continue to follow after giving the medicine.
