Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to establish a multidisciplinary collaboration model using information and communications technology (ICT) in social work. ICT is evolving day by day, and is now widely used in social work to collect and share information and for communication. Meanwhile, ICT network systems are being used to share user information among professionals in diverse fields. Thus, there is an urgent need to establish a practical model for how social workers can use such ICT, which is used by professionals in diverse fields. Based on the results obtained so far, we examined the tools necessary for assessing rights protection in collaborative settings involving professionals in the legal, public health, medical, welfare, and educational fields.
