Abstract :
In order to provide efficient and effective home care, we developed a collaboration system: “Yuitori Network” for health, welfare and medical works in home care. It is a groupware for workers in home care; public health nurses, helpers, nurses and doctors. It facilitates collaboration among workers by providing functions to plan a visiting schedule of workers, to store their visit records and share them including image data, and to manage some information of different facilities. We implemented the system on the computer network in a client-server style using a database system, experimented on it practically in Iwate Prefecture and confirmed its effectiveness for collaboration among health, welfare and medical workers
