| [ Summary ] | Long-term care insurance system has been revised every three years to cope with the actual situation of elderly people and the changing social conditions. The recent revision in 2015 calls for the "construction of the effective and high quality medical offer system in a community, and general promotion of the medical and care services in a community by building the integrated community care system." The policy aims at the construction of an integrated community care system to provide medical and care service, preventive medicine, residence, and life support. In order to support dialysis patients and cooperate with other professionals, medical workers should stay updated on long-term care insurance system and related issues as well as utilize social resources effectively. |
