- Abstract: Collaboration between medical institutions and community pharmacies is crucial for sharing patient’s treatment status and chemotherapy regimens in order to give safe and effective cancer chemotherapy for outpatient. In Kagoshima Medical Association Hospital, we established a framework for sharing this information with community pharmacies through a multidisciplinary approach. We conducted a questionnaire survey among community pharmacists to evaluate the usefulness of patient’s treatment status and chemotherapy regimens available on our hospital’s website. Most respondents found these resources “very useful.” Furthermore, respondents expressed a desire for additional information on chemotherapy regimen that was not currently available on our website but accessible from other institutions. This survey helped us understand the specific information required by community pharmacists regarding patient treatment status and chemotherapy regimens from medical institutions.
