A Nationwide Survey on Medication Follow-up Care by Community Pharmacists: From The Japanese Nationwide Pharmacy Collaboration Survey in 2023.
In Japan, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act was amended in December 2019, and now requires pharmacists to follow-up on patients during treatment. Although there have been some studies on the effectiveness of follow-ups by pharmacists, there are no reports on the status of implementation in clinical practice. We conducted a nationwide survey on follow-up care to investigate the actual situation. We randomly selected 10% of community pharmacies in each prefecture and conducted a survey. We built a web-based system for the collection of basic information on the pharmacies and follow-up cases. A total of 561 pharmacies were pre-entered. Of these, 110 pharmacies (19.6%) reported 326 follow-up cases. Information was provided to doctors in 129 cases (39.6%), of which prescription proposals were made in 10 (7.8%) instances. The follow-up implementation rate based on the number of prescriptions dispensed was estimated to be 0.84% (95% confidence interval: 0.76-0.94%). This study revealed the status of follow-ups in clinical practice. Pharmacists can contribute to the optimization of drug treatment by providing follow-up information to doctors and making prescription proposals.
