In response to the “Pharmacy Vision for Patients in Japan,” the family pharmacist system began in 2016. Gifu Pharmaceutical University, in collaboration with the Gifu Prefectural Pharmaceutical Association, investigated the correspondence situation of pharmacies one year after the system commenced. Items surveyed in this study were dispensing fees, prescription checking fees, and so forth. We divided the pharmacies into family pharmacies (certified as a family pharmacist), and control (not certified as a family pharmacist) groups. The dispensing fees and prescription checking fees, such as preventing duplicate administration and drug interactions, were significantly higher in the family pharmacy group. We also investigated the awareness of the function and role of pharmacists. Most pharmacists in the family pharmacy group recognized the role of pharmacists as consultants for residents. Findings suggest that family pharmacies fulfill the function required by the pharmacy vision for patients, and have a high awareness of community health consultation.
