Description

Each prefecture has started formulating its vision for community medical care. With the aim of promoting clinical specialization and collaboration before 2025 when all the baby-boom generation will reach ≥75 years of age, the vision includes measures to implement the optimal system of medical care provision as well as data analysis-based estimation of the demand for medical care and number of beds needed in each clinically specialized area. As in other prefectures, individual communities in Akita Prefecture are discussing measures to achieve clinical specialization and collaboration, enhance home medical care, and recruit and train medical professionals. This study identified the tasks involved in the medical care provision system in Akita Prefecture. Basic data were analyzed with consideration of the discussions occurring in individual communities, in order to describe the situation in which the vision for local medical care was being formulated. The future medical care system that meets the demands for medical and elderly care in rapidly depopulating and aging communities is also discussed.
