The community has important roles in the community based medicine and home care systems along with the differentiation of the functions of medical institutions. Patients under home care receive care of their family, the friends, community home care services and medical care by healthcare professionals. Patients can live in the community under medical care in a different category from in-hospital care. Community based medicine is the manifestation of healthcare supporting people who live. Healthcare professionals involved in community based medicine are required to give medical education and cooperate with community welfare works apart from medical care in the community.
