The provision of medicines has shifted from &#8220;products&#8221; to &#8220;people&#8221; in terms of providing patients with information and advice about their medications. Amendments to the legal provisions of the Pharmacists Act will follow to reflect these changes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Among nations around the world, providing medication information and guidance to patients is said to be unique to dispensing services in Japan. What role does this play?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is often difficult to determine how much medication information should be provided. This information should be easy for patients to understand and follow. We provide information so that patients can continue to take the medication knowing the characteristic side effects, such as urine turning a pink color, for example. It could be said that this is characteristic of dispensing in Japan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are you focusing on in terms of patient initiatives and what do you think is needed to expand patient services?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Obihiro community is characteristically and undeniably short of medical personnel for regional health care in Japan. One of the features of JA Hokkaido Koseiren is that we dispense in the hospital. We are also experiencing a shortage of pharmacists, which is a problem. Given this situation, we strive not only to provide patients with maximum information, but also to provide accurate medications in the shortest time possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped list-3col is-center wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1316\" class=\"wp-image-1316\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-reception.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-reception.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-reception-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-reception-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Waiting Area<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1315\" class=\"wp-image-1315\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-monitors.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-monitors.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-monitors-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-monitors-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are you streamlining and improving the operational efficiency with a shortage of pharmacists?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dispensing operations consist of several pharmacists. We have the same goal as all hospitals and dispensing pharmacies throughout Japan: To eliminate dispensing errors. To achieve this, we are systematizing the use of robots and equipment to streamline the dispensing process while keeping trails and evidence of each operation. I believe that our dispensing error prevention system using the barcodes on medications is one of the most advanced systems in Japan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped list-3col is-center wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1314\" class=\"wp-image-1314\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines1-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tablet and Power Drug Packaging Machines<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1313\" class=\"wp-image-1313\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines2-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines2-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1312\" class=\"wp-image-1312\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines3.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines3-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines3-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Liquid Medication Dispensing Machine<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Has the introductions of dispensing robots and equipment and the automation of dispensing through the system linkage changed the way pharmacists work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The final inspection process has changed immensely. Now we check for consistency between the medication pouches and the medication that is supposed to go in it. Before, the pharmacist would finalize inspections with a \u201cdispensing completed\u201d stamp, whereas now we use the medication barcodes in final inspections and store all the data. This has increased our work in terms of barcode verification, but it hasn\u2019t increased wait times. Dispensing is done in 11 to 12 minutes, unless there are special circumstances. So, I think we are making good progress in robotizing dispensing and optimizing operations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped list-3col is-center wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1311\" class=\"wp-image-1311\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines4.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines4-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines4-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dispensing Inspection Equipment and Systems<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1310\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines5.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines5-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines5-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large item\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"1309\" class=\"wp-image-1309\" src=\"\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines6.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines6.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines6-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.yuyama.co.jp\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/no14-machines6-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Packed-Tablet Sorting Machine<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you mind telling me why you chose Yuyama?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The main reason was that the Yuyama system has a good overall balance and its own pharmaceutical information system\u2014MdBank.
