We conducted a Study to establish a more effective way of providing drug-related information using a light emitting diode (LED) board at the waiting hall for outpatients to improve both the patients, interest in medication and the quality of medication consultation at the medication counter. We provided various of information with characters as well as still and animated pictures in color on an LED board installed beside the electric bulletin board for finished prescription numbers at the waiting hall for outpatients. Three kinds of information were presented ; including in formation on patient education, general information on medication and recent topics on medication. Of 253 outpatients, 86% noticed the existence of this information, which thus suggested that the information on the LED board had a good visibility. In addition, 80% of the patients understood the importance of the rational use of medication which 46% of the patients asked a pharmacist about their own medicine. Furthermore, this method of providing drug-related information was be an effective means to make the patients aware that they should play a primary role in achieving successful pharmacotherapy, to improve their interest and understanding in medication, and to increase the degree of individualized medication consultation.
