“…Any opportunity to have a pharmacist participate in patient care rounds should be taken advantage of. Although the benefits of pharmacist participation in these rounds have been well established, 1,2 many departments may view the benefits as intervention-based. That is, the pharmacist is there to intervene and make recommendations.…”

Objective To assess how pharmacy staff perceived the benefits of coupling robotic dispensing (RD) directly to integrated electronic prescribing (EP) and its impact on their practice at ward level, and to evaluate which features of EP were significant, and their perceptions of coupling EP to the dispensing robot. Method Qualitative thematic analysis was used. 23 initial themes were identified from semistructured interviews, which, on further analysis, were reduced to 6 main themes which were then further explored by a questionnaire. Finding 75% (26) responded. There was overwhelming support for the use of this technology to support clinical services. The respondents felt EP plus RD greatly empowered pharmacists, provided better relevant information, had a positive effect on ward relationships and was more efficient. This gave greater job satisfaction by allowing more time for ‘higher skilled’ professional activities. Clinical training was perceived as critical to maximise use of technology. Conclusions This work identifies how by using EP-RD benefits reach beyond the dispensary to the ward level permitting the pharmacy to add more clinical value to its pharmacy service, thus contributing to better patient care.

With the revisions to the Japanese medical institutions law of April 2006, an improved medical care security system in a medical institution is indispensable. More and more medical institutions are now assigning full-time pharmacists to the task of medical safety. Hospital pharmacy sections are utilizing a valid evaluation system developed by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care. Pharmaceutical specialists who contribute to medical security, such as certiˆed oncology pharmacists and certiˆed infection control pharmacists (CICPha) are much awaited. In addition, the DPC (Diagnosis Procedure Combination) system has now become widespread in Japan, and the call is for pharmaceutical care that can decrease medical costs. It is imperative for health care systems to assure the appropriate use of drugs to decrease medical costs without reducing medical services. CICPha can contribute to the antimicrobial management program, and has also focused on medical care security. Several antimicrobial management programs of broad-spectrum agents, i.e., formulary restriction and prior approval, are gradually being enforced in Japan. The CICPha role is far-reaching, and it should make a concerted eŠort to prevent the injudicious use of antimicrobial agents resulting in the emergence of drug resistance; this must be handled by infection control doctors and nurses along with microbiological technicians. The CICPha must regulate the appropriate use of these agents, and perform surveillance of antimicrobial use and resistance (AUR). We describe the necessity and evaluation of AUR, and also underscore the necessity of training clinical pharmacists who will contribute to patient safety in days to come.
