| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Telecare reduces medical expenditures of chronical diseases such as strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart failure by 40,000 yen and days of treatment by four days. The longer telecare is used, the greater the reductions. The cost-benefit ratio of the e-ambulance project in Kochi prefecture is 0.48, which is similar to other telecare projects. In comparison of the Japanese and the US regional medical information system, the number of registered patients is different. The US number is about 17 million, while that of Japan is about 60,000. The larger number of patients makes the data to use as population risk management, which enables to predict the future direction of diseases. In the US and the UK, medical institutions fully utilize the above data more intensively to enhance efficiency of work flow. The Japanese regional medical information networks are required to up-grade the system.
