Japan is considered a country with economic power, but in fact income inequality is increasing, and this is leading to health inequities. It is estimated that millions of people have limited access to healthcare due to lack of medical insurance. Many older heart failure patients, who are the terminal stage of cardiovascular diseases, require nursing care and support and are socially isolated, and it is necessary to improve the quality of disease management during their daily lives through the use of nursing care services as well as medical care. Even in telemedicine, which is expected to increase in the future, patients who are poor, elderly, and digitally illiterate may be left behind. In future Japanese healthcare, it is necessary to create a system to address the social determinants of health (SDOH) that patients are facing.

摘要

Japan is considered a country with economic power, but in fact income inequality is increasing, and this is leading to health inequities. It is estimated that millions of people have limited access to healthcare due to lack of medical insurance. Many older heart failure patients, who are the terminal stage of cardiovascular diseases, require nursing care and support and are socially isolated, and it is necessary to improve the quality of disease management during their daily lives through the use of nursing care services as well as medical care. Even in telemedicine, which is expected to increase in the future, patients who are poor, elderly, and digitally illiterate may be left behind. In future Japanese healthcare, it is necessary to create a system to address the social determinants of health (SDOH) that patients are facing.
