Abstract

On the other hand, in Japan, where the population is aging, the shift from “Cure” to “Care” is required7 under the UHC (Universal Health Coverage), which is said to be a model for the world.8 In such a mature society Japan, the authors have been proposing that a “disability registry data base (hereinafter referred to as “disability DB”)” would be needed as an information base to support each resident’s self-management.9–12 In this study, “outcomes” among the information necessary for building, utilizing, and deploying the disability DB is focused. In this study, we examined the improvement measures about the outcome information that has pointed out that the information had been relatively lacking.
