Hospital on-site preparations(HOP) have long been produced in most institutions since enactment of the Ministry ofHealth and Welfare Notification No. 92-12 in 1992. However, due to the unclear definition of the HOP, most institu-tions have trouble in production and reporting of the HOP. Therefore, in this study, the definition and range of HOP areexamined by questionnaire for 34 institutions, mainly teaching hospitals, which reported the items of HOP among 84institutions having 500 or more beds. It was found that 472 items and 1,116,888 jesu of the HOP were produced at 34institutions in 2006. Most institutions prepared 21~30 items of HOP, and the number of institutions producing5,000~10,000 forms was most prevalent. Accordingly, for HOPs whose need was identified by this study, pharmaceuti-cal companies should be pressed for commercialization.
