In the last 7 1/2 years, we nursed a total of 814 patients as a specialized home hospice care clinic. The number one hurdle of the specialized home medical care support clinic was to institute a system operated for 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. The system also required a number of doctors to be hired whenever a patient to be nursed. Recently, there have been many home medical care support clinics, in which one doctor will perform both outpatient and inpatient care. The system that supports such a medical clinic is necessary. It is ideal that if there is a home medical care support center in the region and provides a support for the medical clinic, give a home care education and the training and enlightenment activities to the citizen.
