The basic plan to Promote Cancer Control Programs was revised in June 2012. Promotion of perioperative oral management had been specified. For the purpose of reduction of the perioperative complications and shortening the postoperative hospital stay, perioperative oral management fees were founded for 2012 fiscal year health care fees. Because our hospital is an acute care hospital without dentistry, we had set up cooperation program with Fukuyama dental association. We started our oral management programs in February 2014. From February 2014 to February 2015, we performed operations under general anesthesia for 105 patients, and we have implemented the program on 75 patients. The program was not implemented for 26 patients who were admitted in emergency.
