Basic objectives -Others

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the self-administered INTERMED (IMSA). If both reliability and validity are found to be acceptable, the use of the IMSA in Japan will be promoted. By using the IMSA, which is a relatively simple measure of complexity, it will be possible to more easily investigate the baseline level of complexity in the Japanese population, its relationship to diagnosis, its relationship to consultation time and number of return visits, and its relationship to length of hospital stay. This may lead to social recognition of patient complexity, which may lead to good outcomes, such as shorter hospital stays, by allocating medical resources to high-complexity patients at an early stage.

Research Design: Prospective cross-sectional study
The flow of the study:
Subjects will undergo a questionnaire and interview at the outpatient clinic of the Department of General Medicine. The consultation at the outpatient clinic of the Department of General Medicine is conducted by several physicians. First, the primary care physician examines the patient for approximately one hour, and then the patient waits for one hour to discuss the details of the case with a senior physician (consultation time). Next, the patient is seen by a senior physician for another hour, which may require additional time to review the details of the case. This consultation time exists as "waiting time" for patients, and this study will use this time to conduct interviews and questionnaires.
The allocation method will be used to ensure that the target population is of a gender and age group that is not being filled. The study will be outlined in writing at the outpatient reception desk, and willingness to participate in the study will be confirmed. If willingness to participate is confirmed, the outpatient receptionist will contact the research staff. During the "waiting period," the researcher takes the patient who has indicated willingness to participate to the examination room and explains the study in writing and orally. At this time, consent or non-consent to the research will be confirmed, and if consent is given, the patient will be asked to fill out a consent form. After confirming consent, interviews (IM and CCI) will be conducted directly. After the interview, a set of self-administered questionnaires (IMSA, HADS, DSSI-J, WHOQOL-26, and original questionnaire) with a research ID will be handed to the patient to fill out in the waiting hallway or elsewhere. Once completed, the questionnaires should be returned to the receptionist. The returned questionnaires will be received, stored, and analyzed by the researcher.
