A system that included both images and voice using a personal computer was developed to provide pharmaceutical instructions for outpatients at the medication counter. A touch panel was adopted for easy use by a wide range of age groups. The system consisted of such items as the “usage of externally applied drug”, “information on disease”, “patient education” and comprised eight items over all. A survey of 105 patients was conducted and almost all patients (95%) understood the drug-related information provided. This system was found to be an effective method for providing patients with easily understood drug-related information and most patients actually enjoyed using this system which led to an improved dissemination of important medication related information.
