| Abstract | This paper examines the effect of tele-home-care on medical expenditure for heart failure patients using survey data from Nishi-aizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, (2002–2006). In town's telecare system, users at home transmit vital data such as ECG, blood pressure, and pulse to the town's health center via the peripheral device, and nurses monitor the data. This study focuses on heart failure which is the second popular chronic disease next to high blood pressure in the town. Medical expenditures of the following groups are compared: the treatment group consists of 199 selected from 523 telecare users according to years of use, while 209 nonusers (control) were selected from 3,525 residents, and their medical expenditures obtained from the National Health Insurance scheme were used a dependent variable in estimation. Individual characteristics of the two groups, including age, sex, income, and health conditions, were obtained from replies to the questionnaire and receipts of the National Health Insurance and used for explanatory variables. Heart failure patients were identified by their record of related diseases having treated. We use system GMM, a rigorous estimation method aimed to solve the causality problem. This analysis demonstrates that tele-home-care use itself, duration of, and frequency of telecare use reduce the medical expenditures of heart failure patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
