制度変遷メモ

認知症 診療体制・政策変遷メモ

主要制度転換点

2000年 — 介護保険制度施行

  • 認知症(当時:痴呆症)ケアが医療から介護保険サービスへ移行
  • 認知症対応型共同生活介護(グループホーム)が創設
  • 施設入所中心から地域ケアへの転換の始まり

2004年 — 「痴呆」から「認知症」へ名称変更

  • スティグマ軽減のための用語改定
  • 啓発活動の普及と受診促進

2012年 — 認知症施策推進5か年計画(オレンジプラン)

  • 認知症ケアパスの整備
  • 早期診断・早期対応体制の構築

2015年 — 認知症施策推進総合戦略(新オレンジプラン)

  • 7つの柱(普及啓発・医療・介護等)を設定
  • 2025年推計患者700万人への対応が目標
  • 認知症サポーター1200万人養成目標

2019年 — 認知症施策推進大綱

  • 「共生」と「予防」の2本柱
  • 70歳代での発症を10年で1割遅らせる目標

2023年 — 認知症基本法成立

  • 認知症の人の意思決定支援を明文化
  • 認知症施策推進基本計画の策定義務化

診療体制上の課題

課題 状況
医療・介護の連携 診断後支援(ポストダイアグノシス)の体制整備が不十分
若年性認知症 就労・経済的問題、対応する支援機関が限られる
介護者(家族)支援 認知症介護は家族負担が大きい
地域格差 都市部と農村部での認知症ケア資源の格差
