[Medical cooperation for enabling a smooth shift to remote medical treatment]

To raise awareness of remote medical treatment, seminars are held and patients are invited to participate in medical treatment in a short-term care hospital, a hospice, or a long-term care hospital. The first and second halves of the home treatment period in this clinic were individually examined. The results showed that the home treatment period was extended, which was considered to be the effect of cooperation. By improving medical cooperation with a primary or family physician, medical development and the reduction of incidences in short-term care hospitals are expected. In remote medical treatment, multidisciplinary cooperation is important. It is now also required to enable welfare facilities to participate in networks. Furthermore, such cooperation raises remote medical treatment awareness among patients and medical staff. The original home network suitable for Akita must be developed further to respond to an aging society. This response to a super-aged society may serve as a model throughout the world.
