Abstract;As a general hospital that is aiming to provide regional medical care, our hospital has been actively involved in trying to establish a unified system for providing information on drugs to patients, through close cooperation with the Regional Pharmacists Association. We have been involved in promoting the spread of prescriptions to be filled at outside phrmacies, training pharmacists working in pharmacies, and providing information on drugs to patients through the issuance of a "medicine guidebook" and "drug-record pocketbook", and thus have established a system for exchanging of information on drugs in order to monitor the side effects in patients, and thereby establish a system to exchange information among patients treated at home. The results of our efforts in these areas have indicated that, hospital pharmacists, in cooperation with pharmacists working at pharmacies, can therefore partitively contribute to the treatment of outpatients and to regional medical care.
