Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we provided the opportunity for Care Managers (CM), who play active roles in community-based integrated care systems, to attend one-year monthly lecture series involving medical knowledges useful for care planning. Contrary to our expectations, acquisition of sufficient knowledge about diseases and geriatric conditions was not observed. However the results indicated that CM who had usual collaboration with pharmacists or nutritionists had more opportunities to use the knowledges than those who had not, therefore suggested that multidisciplinary collaboration of CM will help consolidate medical knowledges. We also confirmed that CM who had worked in day care facilities had more used knowledge of geriatric syndromes than who had not, which suggested environment of work may also affect the acquisition of medical knowledges necessary for optimal care planning.
