Outline of Final Research Achievements

Development of terminal cancer patient support system based on regional medical liaison.The Support Team Assessment Schedule Japanese version (STAS-J) is used as a method of appraisal in the evaluation of cancer patients at home. We have developed an electronic home care support system for home cancer patients. Using this system and the WWW, information sharing is possible between the patient’s home, hospital, or home nursing station, thus allowing cancer patients to recuperate at home in comfort. The goal of this research was to develop an electronic STAS-J and incorporate it into this home care support system.Incorporation of STAS-J electronic version into the home care support system greatly facilitated the input and correction of responses by radio button selection, and the rate of incorrect input was zero. Moreover, patient responses to SATA-J indicated on a radar chart allows the staff to understand the condition of home patients with regard to each of the nine items.
