Abstract
We have developed a patient medication instruction provision system linked to a prescription order entry system in Oita Medical University. We have provided basic information, efficacious information and safety information of the drugs for each patient. Basic information was registered by pharmacists while other information was inputted by doctors on the entry system. Such information was combined, sent to a dispensing support system and outputted as a patient medication instruction sheets, namely, “OKUSURINITSUITE” .In this system, it is possible to provide drug information which reflects the doctor's intention to the patient. Also, it is capable to cope with the prescription of anti-cancer drugs and their nonapplicable use.We evaluated the provision rate of the instruction sheets to the prescription for 4 months. As a result, the whole rate was about 25% and on the increase to out-patients. In the clinical division, surgery and pediatrics gave a higher rate. On the other hand, the rate for inpatients has remained almost unchanged.
