Japan has become a super-aging society and the medical system has been reformed with a
focus on hospitalization, home care and nursing care, in which pharmacists are expected to
play an active role. However, pharmacists working at pharmacies are still inadequately
involved in home medical care. In this study, we investigated the attitudes of pharmacists in
home medical care as part of a study that also serves as an awareness survey for the
promotion of participation in home care in Ishikawa Prefecture and Numazu Area, Shizuoka
Prefecture. The results showed that the work contents that pharmacists who have never been
involved in home medical care find challenging are not a major concern for pharmacists who
have actually been involved in home medical care. In the future, pharmacists should actively
participate in home medical care in order to promote home medical care. We believe it is
possible to promote the participation of pharmacists in home medical care by grasping the
current status of home medical care practice through lectures on the current status and
problems in home medical care experienced by pharmacists who work for home medical care
pharmacies sponsored by pharmacist associations. In addition, coordination between hospital
pharmacists and insurance pharmacy pharmacists will help to promote home medical care.
