title: [Present status of regional collaboration of home care medicine at Kohka Medical County(Kohka-City and Konan-City), Shiga prefecture].
abstract: The importance of home care medicine has been well recognized by the National and Prefectural policy. We have conducted several meetings on home care medicine and discussed various problems and barriers that need to be overcome. These meetings were held with various professionals. The meetings, however, were conducted with little communication between professionals, especially regarding cancer and non-cancerous lesions. The members who perform the home care medicine are the same persons regardless of the regions they are from. We are, therefore, trying to improve the communication between these professionals in order to consolidate these meetings. We have recognized and understand the present status of home care medicine through these meetings and are willing to make efforts to improve the home medical practice and care.
