ABSTRACT
Recently, the combined use of multiple drugs for coexisting multiple diseases in elderly patients has become a problem. In facilities for elderly persons, pharmacists contribute to the intervention and optimization of prescriptions. However, the procedures have been conducted smoothly in only a few facilities. We established five procedures for prescription intervention by pharmacists and implemented these interventions in 80 institutionalized individuals. The total results over 2 years(January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016)revealed 118 cases of prescription proposals from pharmacists and a reduction of 2,411,937 yen in medical expense. The purpose of prescription proposals from pharmacists is to reduce burden on patients by optimizing prescriptions, but not to reduce the number or dose of drug. In doing so, it was important to hear patients' opinions on medical care. Patient-centered prescription proposals from pharmacists are considered to have improved the quality of medical care and may enable the promotion of prescription intervention.
