“…Because patients in Japan can freely select medical institutions, many patients are examined by multiple medical institutions, and receive medications from multiple pharmacies. Therefore, unified management of their medication information by patients and the presentation of this to medical institutions, are necessary in order to ensure patient safety with regard to drug therapies [1]. Thus the Drug Profile Book (DPB) was developed by pharmacists as a Personal Health Record (PHR).…”

In Japanese pharmacies, Drug Profile Books (DPBs), which are a type of Personal Health Record (PHR), are incorporated in order to prevent duplicate medication and drug interactions in outpatients (patients) through the uniform management of drug administration information. In this study, we tried to clarify the effect on patient safety of brief interventions via DPBs by pharmacists. The study design was a randomized controlled trial on pharmacies as clusters. 65 pharmacies agreed to participate in the study (intervention group (IG): 33; control group (CG): 32). The primary outcomes were: rate of inquiry occurrence, rate of prescription change, and rates of duplicate medications & drug interactions. 56 pharmacies (IG: 29; CG: 27) completed the study. There was a higher tendency for prescription changes in the IG compared to the CG (IG: 0.03%; CG: 0.02%; P = 0.08). In addition, the rate of duplicate medications & drug interactions accounting for the inquiries was significantly higher in the IG than in the CG (IG: 89.2%; CG: 71.9%; P = 0.01). This implied that brief interventions by pharmacists using DPBs had an effect in raising patient safety.

“…In the PRE-AVOID report by the Kurume Pharmaceutical Association, over 30％ of PRE-AVOID work was performed using the DPB as a basis; this suggests that pharmacists are keenly aware of the importance of the DPB in their daily PRE-AVOID work duties. 5) It is well known among pharmacists that the DPB is an eŠective means of ascertaining medical information of a patient, including pharmaceutical status; 6) eŠorts are also underway to promote among the public the recording into the DPB of other pertinent information, including the history of adverse reactions, lab test results, supplements taken, and general information on pharmaceuticals, by either the pharmacist or patients themselves. 7) The Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has published the Pharmacy Vision for Patients, which aims at``greater uniformity in the management of patient pharmaceutical information''; the Vision indicates the DPB as an eŠective tool in achieving this goal.…”

The objective of this survey is investigating pharmacists' recognition of and belief in the importance of doing PRE-AVOID using the drug profile book (DPB). The main survey items were: 1. Awareness and self-confidence concerning PRE-AVOID using DPB, 2.Status of educating patients of the merits of the DPB, 3. Status of educating patients of the utilities of the DPB, 4. Status of educating patients of the roles of the DPB, 5. Guidance provided on methods of DPB usage, and 6. Interactions with patients. A multiple regression analysis was performed using "Awareness and self-confidence concerning PRE-AVOID using DPB" as a dependent variable. A regression equation including three items ("Educating the roles", "Blood test", and "Not using multiple DPBs at same time") was derived for "Self-confidence in PRE-AVOID work" (R=0.20). The item most affecting "Self-confidence in PRE-AVOID work" was "Educating the roles" (R=0.28). A regression equation with "Awareness of PRE-AVOID work" as a dependent variable was not derived. The results of the study suggest that "Educating the roles" or "Not using multiple DPBs at same time" for patients, and asking the results of "Blood test" in a medication consultation may increase pharmacists belief in doing PRE-AVOID.

This survey aimed to examine how patient-pharmacist communication using the drug proˆle book relates patient's behavior regarding its use. Among patients who visited one of theˆve pharmacies during the 4 months between July and October of 2013, 245 patients who had been prescribed antihypertensives were asked to complete a questionnaire. Items included patient attributes, whether the patient thought the drug proˆle book was useful to them (``sense of utility''), whether the patient has ever been questioned by a pharmacist while showing the drug proˆle book (``experience of being questioned by a pharmacist while showing the drug proˆle book''), and whether the patient has ever shown the drug proˆle book to the physician (``experience of showing the drug proˆle book to the physician''). In addition, pharmacists counted the frequency of patients bringing the drug proˆle book, and if so, the frequency of the sticker a‹x during the last 5 visits. 34.3％ of responding patients answered that they had the``experience of being questioned while showing the drug proˆle book''. Response rates of``frequency of bringing the drug proˆle book'',``sense of utility'', and``experience of showing the drug proˆle book to the physician'' in the group with``experience of being questioned while showing the drug proˆle book'' were signiˆcantly higher than those in the group without such experience. This survey indicated that experience of being questioned by a pharmacist while showing the drug proˆle book related patient's behavior regarding its use.
