[PEG and home nutrition care].
Recently, the concept of nutrition support team (NST) has been getting familiar in Japan. However, the activities of NST were confined to the patients staying in the hospital. The author has proposed a new concept of "NST for regional community". This NST is supposed to work in the hospital and in the community on the basis of the same nutritional care standard. The author has also built a "PEG system for regional community" as one of the activities of "NST for regional community". Since then, we have been providing the regional inhabitants with some options of PEG and nutrition care.
