title: Development of the local medical service network system. Integration of medical service with the network system between university hospital and other medical institutions.
abstract: Although every medical institution always make efforts to provide best services for the patients, it tends to be insufficient to send the patient's information and share them with other medical institutions. It is partly because in the Japanese medical care system there is no obligation to inform patients' medical information to other medical institutions. To provide effective and cost-effective medical service, we made a local network system between university hospital and other medical institutions. The system contributes to clarify the role of medical institutions and the continuity of medical service. For the next step, we must construct the home-care information service network towards the total service for the patients.
