Chemotherapy has shifted from hospital care to ambulatory care. To ensure safe and certain ambulatory chemotherapy, a community pharmacist is expected to feed back information about the medicine-taking situation at home to hospital staff.
In this study, we estimated the establishment of a tracing-report system using telephone communication, with the aim of organizing concerted intervention among physicians, hospital pharmacists and community pharmacists.
Among the outpatients who were treated S-1 from June 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015, 25 patients agreed to receive an inquiry call at home. Medication compliance and the number of unused medicines were monitored by a community pharmacist and this information was reported to a physician via a hospital pharmacist by using ‘The Tracing Report.’ The names of diseases were confirmed in 24 patients, and the chemotherapy method was confirmed in 23 patients. Physicians accepted recommendations from pharmacists in 30 out of 47 cases.
In conclusion, the results suggest that an inquiry call from a community pharmacist during ambulatory care, verifying their medicine taking situation, contributed to safe chemotherapy.
