Summary:Recently, the Jepanese government have advanced home medical care services. They former health care system was reformed to place much emphasis on home care. But there are many problems:for instance, the difficulty of coordinating discharges from a hospital and cooperation between hospitals and regional clinics. Especially, the biggest problem was that medical staff in wards do not have knowledge of the realities of home medical care and visiting nursing services. In this session, we invite four persons who are actively involved in the front lines in the field of home medical care. We expect they will speak about realities of home care and make you understand the potential of home medical care.
