石川県における循環器疾患の薬・薬連携に関するアンケート調査

抄録

We conducted a questionnaire survey to evaluate the state of cooperation between the hospitals and the community pharmacies (CPs) in Ishikawa Prefecture with relevance to cardiovascular disease patients and the methods of cooperation expected by both parties. The response rates were 48.7％ (38/78) and 27.5％ (101/367) for the hospitals and the CPs, respectively. 71％ and 73％ of the hospitals and the CPs, respectively, rarely or never provided spontaneous information. The information format provided by the hospitals to the CPs was found to be consistent with CPs’ desires. The most common form of information provided by the CPs to the hospitals was tracing reports (70％), whereas the most common form of information preferred by the hospitals was medication notebooks (61％). The most common information provided to the CPs by the hospitals was prescription details (96％), which were different from the information types desired by the CPs, that is, disease name (84％) and progress during hospitalization (82％). The most common information provided to the hospitals by the CPs was prescription details (56％) and medication adherence/compliance (56％), which were also the most common information types desired by the hospitals. Therefore, cooperation going on between the hospitals and the CPs in Ishikawa Prefecture is insufficient. Differences were found in the format and content of information desired by both parties. A discrepancy was noted between the actual and desired formats and content of information provision, as well. Establishing cooperation rules fulfilled the needs of both parties will further promote cooperation between hospitals and CPs.
