摘要：Chemotherapy regimen management is one of the most important oncology pharmacy practices, because chemotherapy is conducted according to the registered regimens. In this study, we evaluated the pharmaceutical practice that assumes the initial confirmation of chemotherapy regimens and the quality of practice sharing between oncology-specialized and non-specialized pharmacists in regimen management committee. Pharmacists initially confirmed the applied regimen prescribed by physicians regarding chemotherapeutic agents and prophylactic supportive care medicines. Following confirmation, the regimens were reviewed by the Hokkaido University Hospital Regimen Management Committee. A total of 233 regimens were reviewed by the committee over three years. In total, 110 pharmaceutical inquiries were conducted, 45% of inquiries were concerning chemotherapeutic agents, of which approximately half were regarding supportive care medicines. Most inquiries were regarding premedication, followed by those on administration time, solvent of infusion medicines, and dosage. Correction was performed for 84.5% of inquiries. There was no significant difference in inquiry rates between practice and trial regimens. We have entrusted the first basic regimen review according to the checklist, creation of the chemotherapy plan document, and registry of the adopted regimens in the ordering system from oncology-certified pharmacists to non-certified pharmacists. Basic regimen review was well conducted by a non-certified pharmacist, and a more advanced review was additionally performed by certified pharmacists. In conclusion, we demonstrated the utility of pharmaceutical confirmation in a chemotherapeutic regimen review, suitable review coverage, and quality practice sharing between oncology-certified and non-certified pharmacists, which is one of the recommended methods in chemotherapy regimen review.
