In a depopulating society, it is difficult to ensure sufficient resources and finances for health and health care. Thus, effective management of the reform of the healthcare system by visualizing the quality, efficiency, and equity of health care is imperative. This article presents an overview of the studies conducted by my team in this area over the past 35 years, covering the following four sections: (1) visualization of healthcare system using individual-level data, (2) healthcare system at the organizational level, (3) healthcare system at the national and regional levels, and (4) creation of a social system for health. To improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of the healthcare system as well as the social system for people's health, it is necessary to visualize the actual situation and share this information with all stakeholders to contribute to the joint management of healthcare system. On this basis, from the perspectives of each region and the nation, it is important to visualize and grasp various wider determinants of people's health and healthcare performance and to improve health care and social systems.
在一个人口减少的社会中，很难确保为卫生和医疗保健提供足够的资源和资金。因此，通过可视化医疗保健的质量、效率和公平性来有效管理医疗保健系统改革势在必行。本文概述了我的团队在过去35年里在这一领域开展的研究，涵盖以下四个部分：（1）使用个人层面数据可视化医疗保健系统；（2）组织层面的医疗保健系统；（3）国家和地区层面的医疗保健系统；（4）创建社会健康体系。为了提高医疗保健系统以及人民健康社会体系的质量、效率和公平性，有必要可视化实际情况，并与所有利益相关者分享这些信息，以促进医疗保健系统的联合管理。在此基础上，从每个地区和国家的角度来看，可视化并掌握影响人们健康和医疗保健绩效的各种更广泛的决定因素，以及改善医疗保健和社会系统非常重要。
