| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the steady rise of Japan's older population, more senior citizens require treatment for many physical problems. Coupled with that, elderly people have to deal with climate change and the secondary effects on their chronic diseases. Home-visit nurses are expected to organize elderly patients' living environments from a specialists' perspective and empower their patients to self-care as much as possible.
To assist in that effort, we have developed medical-based nursing assessment support software to better organize the process. Our software includes functions such as: A system to understand the correlation between changes in a patient's condition and weather patterns such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure and An interactive database about a patient's prescriptions, meals, bladder and bowel functions, daily activities, resting times, appearance or management of any infections, and any behavioral patterns or overall condition changes.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在の介護保険要介護認定調査では、日常生活動作の可否については評価できますが、心不全などの内部障害の病態を把握するための項目がなく、訪問看護を活用できていない高齢者が多いのが現状です。また、訪問看護ステーションの事業主体、規模もさまざまで、訪問看護師のケア内容も統一されていません。今回、高齢者に多いといわれる心不全と認知症をもった患者への対応について、必要な医学的知識を含めた看護支援プログラムソフトを開発しました。高齢者が在宅で再入院することなく生活できることは、高齢者の生活の質を保証すると同時に、医療費の削減にも貢献できると考えています。
