In order to strengthen the cooperation between medical and nursing care, Shinjuku Ward held a collaborative meeting for home care doctors and care managers in 2014. Because cooperation with the dentist was also necessary in elderly care from the viewpoint of eating deglutition and oral health care, Shinjuku Ward held a collaborative meeting for home care doctors, dentists, and care managers in 2015. A questionnaire was given to the participants, and almost all respondents answered "Helpful"when asked if the meeting was useful. Besides, all respondents answered that their"understanding of each other's areas and perspectives has deepened."Therefore, this collaborative meeting was suggested to promote cooperation and mutual understanding among doctors, dentists, and care managers.
