Abstract | The seminar was held as follows:
Date and Time: Friday, April 20, 2018 18:00-20:00
Venue: Kasumigaseki Knowledge Square Expert Club
Speaker: Yuichi IMANAKA, Professor, Kyoto University Graduate School Medical Department
Facilitator: Zentaro YAMAGATA, Professor, Yamanashi University Graduate School Comprehensive Research in Medical Fields
36 participants from ministries, research institutions, universities, public industries, and media, and students
The speaker introduced how the system for measuring medicare quality has developed. Based on it, he presented the problems to be solved. A questionnaire to the doctors and local governments revealed that visualization of medicare quality is not always welcomed. It is pointed what the data made public means; whether it is necessary to make public the supplemental information; and whether it is appropriate to compare the data. Also, another survey to the citizens tells that only few agreed to make public the medicare quality in the region, which is different when it is compared with the European countries. It is critical to establish an efficient medicare system within the limited medicare resources in the era of decreasing child birth rate.
In the Q&A session, comments like "Whereas there are various indicators and information sources are presented, there are no indicatios as to how to apply them to the real business," "Why such medicare information turned out to be made public only after obtaining consensus among stakeholders?"
The research reported this time was one of the projects funded by RISTEX rom October 2017-September 2017.
