title: [Survey of actual condition of outreach activity of multi-disciplinary team in Japan].
abstract: In Japan, some agencies have begun to provide a multi-disciplinary outreach team for people with severe mental illnesses. A medical fee system specially designed for the outreach team has not been developed, so existing fees cannot cover all activities of the team. This undeveloped legal system for the outreach team and inadequate finances are the main obstacles to dissemination in Japan. In order to plan and realize a valid medical fee system for the multi-disciplinary outreach team, we described the financial conditions of such activities in Japan.
