Outline of Final Research Achievements

Among lung cancer patients, we examined the factor of the difference in the cost calculated from fee for service for patients with surgery. As a result, according to the TNM classification, it was found that the cost calculated from fee for service is more expensive that there are lymph node metastasis and invasion to nearby organs, compared with carcinoma in situ and smaller tumors. Also, we compared the profit and loss of the motor neuron disease patients who are mainly treated at university hospitals, and the profit and loss of lung cancer and brain tumor patients who are treated at community hospitals, according to the presence or absence of surgery. It turned out that profitability is low without surgery.
In addition, patients who were not hospitalized one month before and after outpatient visits and who received a medical fee of less than 5,000 yen were frequently found in psychiatry, neurology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, dermatology and anesthesiology.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

一般的にコストがかかると考えられていた手術症例については、診療報酬上でもきちんと手当されており、むしろ手術なし症例での入院のほうが収益性が悪いことが明らかになった。また、前後1ヶ月に入院のない外来患者のうち、1回の診療報酬が5,000円未満の患者が多い診療科も明らかになったことから、特に外科系の診療科の患者のうち、入院に繋がっていない患者や、手術適応ではない患者は大学病院で受診するのではなく、地域の病院で受診してもらうことで、患者にとっても遠くまで通う必要もなく、連携強化により、地域において切れ目のない医療の提供に資することができると考えられる。
