The 6th ISPACOS Symposium

This meeting has finished. Thank you for attending!

The 6th ISPACOS Symposium focuses on Medical Records, which in Japan is known as a “Karte” a German word for paper. It is a comprehensive records provided by physicians and other medical staffs. It includes patients’ own descriptions of the symptoms, laboratory data, and imaging data. Physician also describes about the interpretation of available data, the diagnosis, the treatment options informed to the patients. How the patient is asked to make a choice among all options, the final choice by the patient, and the clinical outcomes are essential part of the medical records. Thus, the medical record should also be considered as an essential part of the history of personal health.
