To build comprehensive community care, it is necessary to enhance home healthcare and strengthen the function of family doctors. Performing a POCT (Point-Of-Care Testing) at home and community medical care is expected to improve the prognosis of patients through speedier identification of patient conditions and speedier intervention in collaboration with acute care hospitals.
Recommendations
- A reimbursement system that appropriately evaluates POCT at home and community healthcare environments should be investigated and implemented.
