title: [Introduction of a community network system to visiting care].
abstract: A community-based electronic medical record sharing network system (EMI net) was developed in Matsudo City. This system facilitates communication between GPs and visiting nurses in charge of patients under homecare and it has proved useful from the view point of visiting nurses. For example nurses can read the information input by visiting GPs timely, share common view on the patients with GPs, and write a report illustrated with photographs at any time. Moreover, they can communicate with GPs through E-mail. On the other hand, EMI net remains to be improved in a few aspects, such as the need of a system to indicate a record has been read by GPs and to decrease the labor for entering data. We plan to increase the services provided by EMI net by enrolling other facilities.
