Abstract

<p>In Japan, each prefecture in collaboration with regional core centers is required to train hepatitis medical care coordinators (HMCCs). In this study, we surveyed the present status of HMCCs in 17 of the 71 regional core centers. The findings indicated that the number of HMCCs varied from 8 to 77 per regional core center. The proportion of HMCCs who actively contributed to hepatitis patient care also varied from 7.9% to 100%. Among the HMCCs, 50% were nurses, 11% clinical laboratory technicians, 8.0% pharmacists, 8.0% registered dietitians, and 3.5% doctors. The results of the survey show that, in each regional core center, there is a substantial variety in the present status of HMCCs.</p>
