title: [The Regional Health Care Strategic Plan in Nagano Prefecture: process and principles].
abstract: The Regional Health Care Strategic Plan has included mental disorders as the fifth "priority disease". Nagano Prefecture should develop its own mental health care plan. The Community Mental Health and Welfare Center is expected to support municipalities and collaborate with medical care institutions and other resources in the community. Adding mental disorders to the Regional Health Care Strategic Plan will help integrate mental health care into general health care, to improve access to psychiatric care including emergency psychiatry, and facilitate the accountability of community mental health care. The new Regional Health Care Strategic Plan plays a pivotal role in the development of community mental health care in Nagano Prefecture, with improved access to care and standardized treatment.
