Information Sharing and Management across Facilities and Professionals to Support Home Care Services Delivery

本研究的目的是探讨执行私人信息保护的家庭护理服务的设施和护理专业人员，并收集最佳实践的意见，专业人员之间共享信息，以支持护理的协调。进行了一项调查，以调查信息共享和管理的现状。问卷被邮寄给日本各地的护士和社会工作者，他们负责超过200张病床的医院的出院计划，以及家庭护理支持办公室的经理（抽样率：10%）。在收回的1，551份问卷中（回复率：26.1%），获得1，338份有效问卷（有效回复率：86.3%）。结果表明，虽然已经建立了处理私人信息的基本管理制度和程序，但各设施在一致执行具体措施方面存在差异。

The objectives of this study were to explore the enforcement of private information protection for home care services across facilities and care professionals, and to gather best practice opinions on sharing information between professionals to support the coordination of care. A survey was administered to investigate the current conditions of information sharing and management. Questionnaires were mailed to nurses and social workers across Japan who were in charge of discharge planning in hospitals with more than 200 beds as well as to managers of home care support offices (sampling rate : 10%). Of 1,551 questionnaires returned (response rate : 26.1%), 1,338 questionnaires were obtained with valid responses (valid response rate: 86.3%). The results demonstrated that while basic management systems and procedures for the handling of private information have been established, consistent implementation of specific measures varied across facilities.
