2008年，日本厚生劳动省宣布了“改善痴呆症患者医疗护理和生活质量的紧急项目”，为当前快速老龄化社会做好准备。作为对该项目的响应，全国各地的地方政府和行政法规指定的城市政府已经开始为痴呆症患者发展医疗网络。福冈市约有148万人口，其中估计有2万多名痴呆症患者。在本市，九州大学医院在福冈市原有的网络系统基础上成立了痴呆症医疗中心，109名痴呆症顾问医生负责初步诊断，39家合作医院处理痴呆症的外围症状和并发症，由福冈市政府和福冈市医学会协调管理。自该系统推出以来，每月约有150名新患者被诊断为痴呆症。重要的是，医疗、福利和护理在发展和维护社区痴呆症患者的医疗网络方面进行合作，并需要准备一个具有当地特色的独特网络。为了在未来为越来越多的痴呆症患者提供适当的护理，除了网络准备之外，整个社会超越不同职业的边界的广泛支持是必不可少的。
In 2008, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan announced “The Emergency Project for the Improvement of Medical Care and Quality of Life for People Suffering from Dementia” to prepare for the ongoing rapid graying society. In response to the project, local prefectural and ordinance-designated city governments nationwide have initiated the development of medical networks for patients with dementia. Fukuoka City has a population of about 1.48 million people including an estimate of more than 20,000 patients with dementia. In this city, a dementia medical center was set up in Kyushu University Hospital, based on Fukuoka City’s original network system in which 109 dementia consultant physicians are in charge of the initial diagnosis, and 39 cooperating hospitals deal with peripheral symptoms and complications of dementia, under coordinated management by the Fukuoka City government and the Fukuoka City Medical Association. Since the launch of this system, about 150 new patients per month have been diagnosed with dementia. It is important that medical care, welfare, and nursing care cooperate in the development and maintenance of a medical network for the dementia patients in the community, and the preparation of a unique network characteristic of the locality is desired. To provide appropriate care in the future to the increasing number of dementia patients, wide-ranging support by the entire society beyond the boundaries of different occupations is essential in addition to the network preparation.
