Abstract
Introduction The aging population in Korea is already serious, and by 2026, it is
expected to enter a super-aged society where the elderly account for 20 percent of the
population. As the demand for care has soared, it has become a universal problem for
the majority of the people, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare is implementing
community care initiatives. We will look at the role of pharmacies and pharmacists in
the community care system. It looks at the institutional basis needed to diversify the
pharmacist's field of activity and contribute to public health care in the community, as
well as foreign cases such as Medication Therapy Management(MTM) and Home
Medicines Review(HMR).
Purpose This is to examine the role and importance of pharmacies and pharmacists in
Korean community care. And consider how to expand the pharmacist's field of activity.
Korea is now moving toward a super-aged society, so the Ministry of Health and
Welfare has implemented a pilot community care project. In this project, pharmacies
and pharmacists are implementing Visiting Pharmacist Service. The purpose is to think
about what efforts are needed to establish such medical services within the system and
to look at the successful foreign medical services that have been preceded.
Method Seeing pharmacies that co-exist with local residents and have close relationships
with local communities, I expanded my thoughts and thought about the pharmaceutical
service. And we searched local journals and papers to investigate how the
pharmaceutical service are currently linked in the community care business and what
should be supplemented. The main project provided by pharmacists in Korea's
community business is 'Visiting Pharmacist Service'.
We looked at the current and future medical services, the actual medical services
implemented in Korea and their achievements, and the overall institutionalized and
settled medical services in foreign countries, and how they should be applied to Korea,
and referred to and reviewed visiting medical fees.
Result Most developed countries have already entered an aged society in the early 20th
century. It has established a health care system that is appropriate throughout society.
Korea is different from developed countries. In particular, the decline in the ratio of
economic population becomes a serious social problem. And it will pose a serious
threat to the national health insurance finances.
Currently, the National Health Insurance Corporation and the Ministry of Health and
Welfare are making many policy preparations and projects for community care projects.
Doctors, pharmacists, and nurses visit the patient's residence to check his or her health. And preventing misuse of drugs. This not only helps promote national health but also
can lead to stabilization of national health insurance finances. It is the common view of
many health and medical experts that the paradigm should be shifted from
hospital-centered treatment to regional-centered prevention and care.
① a system implemented in the United States for drug management of the elderly.
1) In the United States, there are many policies for drug management for the elderly.
Mediation therapy management (MTM) is a service provided directly to patients by
pharmacists. It is a medicinal service that covers the overall course of drug use,
including evaluation of health condition and medication course, medical history review,
drug treatment plan establishment, monitoring patient response, identification and
resolution of drug-related problems, education and training for improving drug
compliance and proper drug use. For Medicare subscribers, one of the U.S. social
security systems, drug treatment effects are being enhanced through proper use of
drugs and management of side effects.
2) The elderly pharmacist system is part of the professional pharmacist system.
The professional pharmacist system began in 1974 in the United States, and Korea has
been implementing it for hospital pharmacists since 2010. In order for Visiting
Pharmacist Service projects to be professionally provided to a large number of senior
citizens, specialized institutions and personnel in this field are needed.
Currently, Korea's professional pharmacist system is applied only to hospital pharmacists
and is concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area, so it needs to be expanded
nationwide. It is necessary to legislate the system by extending it to local pharmacies.
And if it can be linked to the visiting drug business to suit the situation in Korea, the
safety of elderly people's drug use could be further enhanced.
② Visiting Pharmacist Service in Australia
In Australia, a team of pharmacists and general prescriptions implemented the Home
Medicines Review (HMR).
③ Examples of Visiting Pharmacist Service conducted in Korea and what needs to be
supplemented Chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes are increasing
with the aging population, and account for a large portion of the burden of disease.
Korea's Visiting Pharmacist Service, which took place from July to mid-December 2018,
was successful. A home visit was made to identify general medicines, health foods, etc.,
not limited to prescription drugs. And the pharmacist offered customized services.
Through this project, there was an effect of improving duplicate medication. And drug
compliance increased. However, there is a possibility that information on drug-related
problems could not be delivered to the prescription doctor at the next visit to the
medical institution. Therefore, a more standardized information delivery system needs to
be established.Conclusion Pharmaceutical services are essential to the promotion of national health.
Prevent, identify, and resolve drug-related problems to promote drug treatment. And
ultimately improve the patient's quality of life. The advancement of medical services will
save health insurance finances. Local pharmacies and pharmacists are a significant part
of the entire health care supply system. Therefore, in-depth discussions on the functions
and roles that local pharmacies and pharmacists are responsible for in-depth community
care projects are needed. The government should expand pilot projects for visiting
medical services that have been implemented so far. And demonstrate the positive
results of the pilot project, and present a pharmacist service standard model that
reflects the value of the pharmacist service. Furthermore, economic assessment and
policy development are needed to institutionalize medical services and determine their
prices. In order to diversify the areas of pharmacists' activities, specialized personnel
should be trained through the readjustment of the education system. The institutional
foundation should be established to provide more professional medical services and
contribute to public health care in the local community. It is also necessary to establish
a cooperative system between health care and medical functions so that drug-related
issues can be shared smoothly with each other. We should refer to successful foreign
medical service cases and institutionalize them to suit Korea's situation.
