Objective: The importance of effective adverse drug reaction (ADR) management in local clinics is increasing. This study investigates the current status of ADR management and reporting system use in local clinics, and opinions on development directions for effective ADR prevention. Methods: From January 11th to January 17th, 2022, an online survey was conducted targeting physicians working at local clinics regarding ADR management, use of reporting systems, and development of ADR prevention systems. Results: The awareness of the ADR reporting system was 54.50%, and 22.07% of respondents actually reported ADR incidents. The primary reasons for not reporting were ‘lack of time and unfamiliarity with the process,’ accounting for the highest percentage at 36.62%. Regarding sharing ADR information with other healthcare institutions, 88.56% responded that it would be helpful, and 66.49% indicated they could trust such information. The most crucial areas for improvement identified from the survey were the sharing of ADR records and national-level management. Conclusion: Creating an environment where local clinics can diligently report ADRs and establishing a system to share verified ADR information with other clinics will be a great help to national drug safety.
