Objective:The purpose of this survey was to identify the roles,responsibilities and skills of medical science liaisons(MSLs) in Japan. In addition,we compared to the prior survey results in 2011,2013 and 2015.Method:We contacted 47 pharmaceutical companies with a questionnaire survey on MSLs which included 22 items and analyzed the anonymized results using a web response system.Results:The total number of MSLs increased compared to prior surveys(ranged from 0 to 110). Many companies need MSLs with medical professional qualifications and sophisticated medical expertise. The roles and responsibilities MSLs were expected to perform included managing thought leaders(TL)and/or key opinion leaders (KOL)and implementing medical strategies. On the other hand, issues reported included management of MSLs and cooperation with other stakeholders in the company,and a still low level of recognition of MSLs.Conclusion:The roles of MSL are diverse,and while their activities and status are becoming established they are not yet unified across companies. It is recommended that at the earliest opportunity the roles,responsibilities and key performance indicators(KPI)of MSLs are defined,and educational programs established so that they can act as effective liaisons with medical professionals.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to develop a new system that can centrally manage and share drug information, and also evaluated its usefulness.Methods: Using PHP v5.3.3 as the programming language and MySQL v5.1.73 as the database, we built a web application that constantly runs on the server. Various drug information was registered in this system, and its usage status was analyzed based on the access log.Results: The system was accessed 31,678 times during the survey period (October 1 to December 31, 2019). The information sought included: basic drug information (ordering category of drugs, dosage forms and strengths, drug price, etc.) (13,962 times, 44.1%),question and answer records (7,221 times, 22.8%), pharmaceutical documents (package inserts, interview forms, documents regarding compatibility of injections, etc.) (7,172 times, 22.6%), notifications regarding new and discontinued drugs (727 times, 2.3%), websites (676 times, 2.1%), PreAVOID reports (663 times, 2.1%), pharmaceutical safety information (525 times, 1.7%), information regarding off-label drug use (409 times, 1.3%), and bibliographic information and guidelines (323 times, 1.0%). Among the users (62 pharmacists), 59.7% accessed the system only via a personal computer (PC), 38.7% via a PC and smart device (smartphone or tablet),and 1.6% via only a smart device. The median number of accesses to this system was significantly higher in pharmacists in charge of wards (190 [9-1,435]) or drug information (3,750 [2,957-5,548]) than dispensing pharmacists (68.5 [3-193]) (p<0.001).Conclusion: This system allowed the central management and sharing of various drug information on the web, permitting access regardless of device type. Since this system was frequently used by pharmacists in charge of wards or drug information, this system was considered particularly useful in hospital pharmacist ward services and drug information services.

Objectives: “Adverse Drug Reaction Relief System” (hereinafter called the Relief System) has been established to provide prompt relief to patients experiencing health damage caused by adverse drug reactions. Since 2018, the Relief System has required community pharmacies that acquire additional points as local support system to actively report adverse drug reactions. Here, we investigated the recognition and utilization of the relief system among community pharmacists.Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted among community pharmacists between August 1 and September 30, 2019.Results: The survey achieved a response rate of 58.1%. The recognition rates of the relief system and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) as its application destination were 98.9 and 74.5%, respectively. Of the community pharmacists, 2.6% had experience in utilizing the relief system; and 8.8% did not want to recommend the utilization of the relief system for patients mainly because of the “low recognition of the system” and “the complicated and troublesome preparation of the necessary documents such as medical certificates.” The community pharmacists who acquire additional points as local support system, compared with those who do not, achieved significantly higher rates in two items, including that for preparation of the documented procedures pertaining to adverse drug reactions.Conclusion: Despite the high recognition of the relief system among community pharmacists, the percentage of pharmacists with experience in actually utilizing the relief system and applying to the PMDA was low. One reason that the use of the relief system was not widespread was the low recognition particularly of the destination and procedures of reports on adverse drug reactions. In the future, educational campaigns to improve pharmacists’ comprehension of the relief system will be needed. Moreover, pharmacists must play a central role in enhancing the recognition of the public relief system and promoting medical safety.

Objective: The number of pharmacists regularly working at geriatric health service facilities is limited, but many users of such facilities have multiple chronic conditions and receive continuous pharmacotherapy, simultaneously using numerous different types of oral drugs. We examined the outcomes of pharmacotherapeutic intervention provided by hospital pharmacists for geriatric health service facility users.Methods: We examinedthe outcomes of active pharmacotherapeutic intervention providedby hospital pharmacists for 154 facility users.Results: After the intervention, there were significant decreases in the mean number of types and price of drugs used, as they decreased from 7.38 to 6.17 and 368.3 to 309.2 yen/day, respectively. The number of prescription drugs changed was 300, and 206 of these changes were proposedby the pharmacists. The efficacy-basedcategories that these drugs belongedto widely ranged. The most frequent reasons for change were the “disappearance of symptoms”, “based on indications”, and “suspected adverse events”. Adverse events variedfrom mildto those that may leadto severe conditions.Conclusion: Pharmacotherapeutic interventions by pharmacists may optimize pharmacotherapy, reduce polypharmacy, and reduce the financial burden on geriatric health service facilities.

Objective: It has been recognized that most medical institutions preferred the printed medium for their information sheets for patient education of inhaler usage. However, some questions have arisen. In a case where patients are not sufficiently informed of drug administration guidance due to limited information with only pictures and text, they might not be able to obtain a proper understanding. Contrarily, it is assumed that video medium, with audio and visual elements, is a format for education conveying a larger amount of information. We conducted comparative research regarding patient’s degree of understanding of inhalation guidance, comparing two groups of print- and video-medium-based instructions for inhaler usage and examined how effective two types of media explanations were on patients.Methods: Research participants were thirty persons visiting Jinjo Pharmacy, who were randomly assigned to the print medium group and the video medium group. After one group read and saw an explanation sheet of an inhaler where the maker wrote inhalation instructions and the other group watched an instruction video, the two groups practiced inhaler usage. Evaluation was performed with specified items and comprehensive assessment, and in addition, the time required for inhalation was measured.Results: Score of the evaluation score was statistically significantly higher in the video medium group than in the print medium group in score of specified items and score of comprehensive assessment, and was also significantly shorter in the operation time of the inhaler.Conclusion: This study clarified that the video medium group had fewer improper inhalation occurrences and shorter operation time and, therefore, showed the effectiveness of the video medium. It is recommended that the video medium should be actively utilized,which could improve patient medication adherence. Accessibility is required for patient education to achieve inhaler techniques by watching video-based instruction.

Objective:Marketing specialists (MSs) from pharmaceutical wholesalers might shore up post-marketing surveillance (PMS) by pharmaceutical manufacturers. The purposes of this study were as follows: to research problems in PMS found by market specialists, to find solutions for these problems, and motivating MSs to work on PMS. Methods: We conducted a workshop with 12 MSs, who were already working on PMS operations. Participants were divided into three groups. Each group discussed problems with their PMS operations using the KJ method, discussed the potential solutions for the problems, and finally presented them in a plenary debate session. Questionnaire surveys were conducted for the participants before, immediately after, and 6 months after the workshop. Results: This workshop revealed two crucial and urgent problems on PMS faced by MSs: lack of feedbacks to clinical site and lack of publicity of the significance of PMS by MSs. Several solutions were suggested: browsing system of collected information, publication of the stages of improvement in pharmaceutical preparations and packaging, and distributing leaflets about PMS by MSs. In addition, this workshop conferred a positive influence on the participants: in the post-workshop questionnaires, most of the participants answered that they could well understand the problems (92%) and the solutions (75%) on PMS, and that they could improve their attitudes toward PMS operations (83%). . Conclusion: This workshop was quite effective for most of the participants in searching the problems, considering the solutions, and improving their attitudes. Organization of several such workshops might result in better PMS by MSs.

Objective: Caffeine may cause dependence and sleep disturbance, and interact with psychotropic drugs. Therefore, the caffeine intake of patients with mental disorders should be monitored. However, in Japan, there is no report on the effects of caffeine in mental disease patients or on their caffeine intake. Therefore, we conducted a questionnaire survey to clarify the perception of caffeine for psychiatric outpatients.Methods: We conducted an anonymous survey on caffeine recognition for outpatients at 8 medical institutions that advocate psychiatry.Results: We collected questionnaires from 180 people. The knowledge of foods containing caffeine tended to be high in those who had a positive attitude toward caffeine. More than 90% of those surveyed knew that coffee contains caffeine, but cocoa and jasmine tea were recognized by less than 25%. Of those surveyed, 39.4% consumed caffeine‐containing beverages at night. In addition, the rate of consumption of caffeine‐containing beverages tended to be higher at night because they had a positive attitude toward caffeine.Conclusion: The knowledge and intake situation of caffeine by patients with mental disorders differed depending on their interests and way of thinking about caffeine. As caffeine intake may influence psychiatric treatment, correct knowledge regarding caffeine is important.

<b>Objective: </b>Incidents, such as disturbance of consciousness due to adverse reactions of medications during automobile driving, could cause a serious accident.  Although automobile driving is indicated to be "prohibited" in the package inserts of many drugs, no explicit guidelines are available in Japan on specific guidance to patients.  Therefore, we attempted to prepare guidelines for medication guidance regarding automobile driving.<br><b>Methods: </b>We investigated the number of incidents involving traffic accidents and the disturbance of consciousness cases reported in "Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report" database by "Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA)."  We also analyzed descriptions regarding automobile driving found in package inserts and guidelines to determine a risk level for each medication.<br><b>Results: </b>Guidelines for medication guidance were prepared based on four-level classification of drugs for which "prohibition" of automobile driving was indicated in their package inserts; these levels are "conform to pertinent guidelines," "strictly prohibited," "prohibited," and "conditionally prohibited."  The contents of the guidance prepared for some drugs were different from their package inserts.<br><b>Conclusions: </b>The guidelines prepared in this study can be expected to become a support tool to ensure close attention to cautions regarding automobile driving.  Because some contents of the guidance are different from that described in the package inserts, it is desirable to obtain agreement with physicians in hospitals adopting these guidelines.  In addition, guidelines based on a broader range of information should be prepared in the future.
