The proclamation of April 2002 of a Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare ordinance has enabled doctors to prescribe drugs for an outpatient without a limit on the length of prescription terms except for a few drugs. There is a concern that the prescription-term deregulation could cause careless drug therapy management in order to extend the interval between patient hospital visits. The purpose of this study is to make pre- and post-deregulation comparisons of two items, prescription terms and implementation of clinical examination that complied with package-insert precautions, and to discuss the approaches to increase safety. Prescription terms have lengthened progressively. In the preregulation period of January to March 2002, the mean prescription term was 19.9 days; in the post-regulation period of July to September 2002, it was 24.9 days; and in July to September 2003, 28.6 days. Even for anti-tumor agents, there were prescriptions over 90 days after deregulation. There was no significant difference between the pre- and post-deregulation compliance ratios for the package-insert precautions in eight drugs of investigated nine. However, one case had a delay in detection of liver dysfunction, which was caused by deviation from the once-a-month testing indicated in the package-insert precautions for prolonged prescription terms. The evidence suggested that the deregulation led to negligent drug therapy management. To assure safe therapy, the following should be addressed : first, sufficient function of a computerized prescriber order entry system and second, creation of a new framework with pharmacists' active involvement such as collaborative therapy management with physicians.

This study aimed to clarify diverse values toward career visions for hospital pharmacists. A self-administered online questionnaire survey was delivered to live and on-demand release attendees at a symposium about sustainable career paths for pharmacists at the 32nd annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmaceutical Health Care and Sciences between September 23rd and November 14th, 2022. Correspondence analyses of text mining were conducted to assess the association between the participants’ perspectives on career visions and their backgrounds consisting of sex and generation. The recovery rate was 81.9% (136/166). The majority of respondents were women (61.4%), aged ≥40 years (66.1%). Correspondence analysis of career vision for pharmacists showed that respondents who were ≥20–30 years were associated with the research topic, whereas those who were ≥40 years were associated with the director of a pharmacy and worked until retirement age. In contrast, there was no difference in career visions for pharmacists based on sex. The median satisfaction score of the symposium was 6 [interquartile range (IQR): 5–6] in the entire population, as conveyed using a seven-point Likert scale. Interestingly, the median satisfaction scores of the symposium were significantly higher for men in management positions than women in non-management and management positions (p=0.0106 and p=0.0031, respectively). In conclusion, we believe that career support tailored to everyone’s values could enable hospital pharmacists to realize their career visions.

We developed an international journal club, using an online meeting tool, as an evidence-based medicine training program intended for healthcare professionals and students. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of the journal club via a questionnaire survey. We administered the questionnaire to 53 healthcare professionals and students who participated in the journal club between February 2019 and April 2020. Respondents showed positive improvement scores after participating in the journal club, compared with those before, as conveyed through the use of a seven-point Likert scale. The median scores of critical thinking skills, discussion skills in English, evidence-based practice skills, and the sense of freedom to ask questions and make comments after participating in the journal club were significantly improved from 4 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2 - 5) to 5 (IQR: 4 - 6); 3 (IQR: 2 - 4) to 3 (IQR: 2 - 5); 3 (IQR: 2 - 5) to 4 (IQR: 3 - 6); and 3 (IQR: 1 - 5) to 3 (IQR: 2 - 6), respectively. Moreover, they expressed interest in the opportunity to share articles on topics of interest with other professionals from different disciplines, to exchange clinical practice ideas concerning topics of interest, and to explore differences in clinical settings between Asia and the MD Anderson Cancer Center. They also expressed great appreciation for the online meeting format, novelty, and overall qualities of the journal club. These findings suggest that an international journal club for healthcare professionals and students could be useful in an evidence-based medicine training program and communication in English.

Pharmacy practice experience (PPE) is essential in the six-year course of pharmaceutical education in Japan. We previously found that PPE reinforced students' self-efficacy for curriculums (SECs), leading robust acquisition and reconstruction of pharmaceutical expertise. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether students' SECs affect successful experiences as enactive attainments in PPE. We distributed survey questionnaires to the fifth-year students in Keio University in 2016-2017 before and after PPE. The students made a self-assessment of their psychological state “expect to do well” on a seven-point Likert scale for each curriculum (C1 to C18), and their successful experiences were also collected from free description type questionnaire. We could follow up 139 students. The SEC scores increased from pre-PPE to post I (p<0.001) and II terms (p<0.01). The increase in SEC scores during PPE was associated with the rate of students' successful experiences in the first-term PPE (p=0.04). The path analysis revealed the following as significant predictive factors of SECs for successful experiences: basic sciences (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6) with stand-ardizing coefficient 0.35, health and environmental sciences (C11 and C12) with 0.39, and pharmaceutical sciences (C7, C8, C9, C10, C13, and C14) with −0.51. Students in the first-term PPE tended to experience successful performance in medical professions by using their pharmaceutical expertise that they had learned. In this study, for the first time, we demonstrated that Japanese students' SECs for pharmaceutical expertise affected successful experiences, leading better outcomes of PPE.

This review describes the clinical outcomes of pharmaceutical interventions and bidirectional sharing of patient information between a hospital and community pharmacies in outpatient chemotherapy. First, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical outcomes of 56 pharmaceutical interventions relating to chemotherapy-induced adverse events and estimated their associated economic impact. Twenty-nine of the pharmaceutical interventions significantly decreased the grade of adverse events compared with before pharmaceutical interventions. The number of reductions in grade 1, 2, and 3 was 14, 11, and 4, respectively. In accordance with the potential economic costs associated with the Adverse Drug Reaction Relief System of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and reduction of grade, we estimated that the total cost saving associated with the clinical outcomes of pharmaceutical interventions was JPY11,360,000. Second, we developed a system for bidirectional sharing of patient information between a hospital and community pharmacies, which comprised a modified prescription format and a monitoring sheet for tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium (S-1). Questionnaire surveys showed that community pharmacies significantly understood patient information compared with before the sharing system. We also retrospectively investigated the discovery rate of adverse events in outpatients who had received S-1. The proportion of patients who developed all grades of an eye symptom and grade ≥ 2 nausea significantly increased after implementation of the sharing system, showing that the system was able to track adverse events. In addition, the proportion of patients in which clinicians managed the adverse events slightly increased. These results suggest that our interventions contribute to the quality and safety of outpatient chemotherapy.
