Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study showed that various biases exist in the distribution and workload of pharmacists. In other words, although the number of pharmacists has increased significantly in Japan in recent years, and the bias in the number of community pharmacists per population has improved, their geographic distribution has not. In addition, the characteristics of the municipality in which the pharmacy is located had an impact on the implementation of homehealthcare services.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
限りのある医療資源をもって地域医療の体制を維持していくためには、医療資源の適正な分布に目を向ける必要がある。薬剤師数は近年増加しているが、薬剤師を取り巻く現状には、様々な点での不均衡があった。本研究により明らかにした不均衡の実状は、その改善策提案のための基盤として活用できる。
