Machine-translated · View original
An endowed department that works on healthcare data analysis and the training of infectious disease professionals.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing professionals rooted in their communities who contribute to the world
The Endowed Department of Transformative Infection Control System Development is part of the Graduate School of Medicine and works on research using healthcare data and on training professionals in infectious diseases.
To prepare for the next emerging infectious disease outbreak, the lab aims to train infectious disease professionals who are rooted in their communities and contribute to the world.
In its research, the lab used claims data to analyze how a national policy promoting appropriate antimicrobial use affected outpatient antibiotic prescriptions for acute respiratory tract infections and subsequent hospitalizations for bacterial complications.
For training, the lab creates educational content for residents and pharmacists, offers training for physicians in tropical infectious diseases, and holds seminars.
Key terms
- Appropriate antimicrobial use
- Using antimicrobial drugs appropriately and only when needed in the treatment of infections. Japan has promoted this as a national policy
- Claims data
- Itemized data that medical institutions use to bill for the cost of medical care
- Acute respiratory tract infection
- A sudden infection of the airways, such as the throat, nose, and trachea
ResearchResearch themes
To prepare for the next emerging infectious disease outbreak, the lab aims to train infectious disease professionals who are rooted in their communities and contribute to the world. It pursues two areas: research using healthcare and claims databases, and training of infectious disease professionals.
*Illustrative imageAnalyzing the impact of appropriate antimicrobial use policies
Using claims data from fiscal years 2016 to 2019, the lab analyzed how a policy promoting appropriate antimicrobial use changed outpatient antibiotic prescriptions for non-bacterial acute respiratory tract infections and subsequent hospitalizations for bacterial complications, and clarified both the effectiveness and the safety of the policy.
*Illustrative imageTraining professionals in infectious diseases
The lab offers infectious disease training for initial clinical residents, educational programs on antimicrobial stewardship for pharmacists and pharmacy students, training for physicians in tropical infectious diseases at the Thailand-Myanmar border, and seminars. For the general public, it publishes videos on YouTube about infection prevention and viruses.
