Details The purpose of this study is to identify the actual state of interprofessional work (IPW) in home care activities for the elderly. We categorized and named the records which professionals write in the discussion on the internet. The elements of IPW could be divided into three categories consisting of"information sharing","promotion of team-based care" and"expediting services", with ten sub-categories. Professionals supported the elderly with the aim of"maintaining and improving the QOL with their own decision-making"."Information sharing" was the most important element and"expediting services" supplemented it."Promotion of team-based care" which strengthen team capabilities had sub-categories such as"demonstration of conference functions" and"enhancement of mutual support".
