Interprofessional Cooperation ICT Program Development Aimed at “Nutrition Improvement”

Abstract

To promote care planning that prevents the progression of care dependency among care service users by improving their nutritional conditions, we examined the status of ICT use for such planning and contents of care plans, involving 714 care managers throughout Japan. Based on the results, we propose an ICT program to prevent the progression of care dependency among care service users by improving their nutritional conditions through interprofessional collaboration, adopting the following approaches: 1) standardizing assessment to create care plans that facilitate nutrition improvement, and organically reflecting challenges of such improvement on care plans, actively and effectively using ICT; 2) encouraging communities to share their care planning systems to promote the sharing of care plans for nutritional improvement with service providers; and 3) promoting interprofessional collaboration by sharing the systems. of on Care Job Construct of Workers: A Qualitative Interview
