Abstract
From the survey conducted last year, we were able to grasp, to a certain extent, what kind of issues there are with drug treatment and medication administration at Saiseikai facilities for the elderly and how pharmacists at Saiseikai Hospital are involved.
Saiseikai has many facilities for the elderly, and most of the residents continue to receive medication. In the treatment of drugs in the elderly, there is an increase in the complexity of medication administration methods and confirmation of interactions with polypharmacy. In nursing care at facilities for the elderly, it is common practice to crush tablets that are difficult to take and mix them with food and drink, and it is essential to optimize medication administration methods and medication support.
Therefore, as the Saiseikai Pharmacists Association, we decided to cooperate with the Welfare Facility Association to ensure the appropriateness of medication administration for residents, ensure the safety of drug treatment, and avoid undesirable outcomes for residents as much as possible. (1)Regular training sessions on nursing care and medicine, (2)pharmacist visits to the facility to understand the actual situation of the facility, and (3)coordination of drug information between facilities and hospitals.
