Healthcare Support Activities and P2M in the Event of a Disaster

Abstract

In Japan, which has many natural disasters such as earthquakes, in order to support the medical care of the disaster area and to manage the health of evacuees in the event of a disaster, health care support workers, such as DMAT, DPAT, DHEAT, do support activities in disaster areas. In this research, we discuss how the health care support worker is organized, what kind of activities and how they engage in health care support activities from immediately after the disaster to the reconstruction period. In addition, in recent years, information technology supporting health care support activities is being developed, and we will explain the health care support activities at the time of disasters that utilize information with the perspective of P2M.
