Medical Care Policy

Medical decisions made by our physicians are not coercive. Our doctors aim to provide the best possible care for every patient, guided by their professional expertise and their conscience.

Physician Care System

• Attending physicians and doctors-in-charge work together as a unified department to provide comprehensive care.

  The Department Chair conducts rounds approximately once a week to monitor the treatment status of all inpatients and provide necessary guidance and advice to the medical staff.

  When residents participate in treatment as part of the medical team, they perform all clinical duties under the direct supervision of a senior attending physician.

  Attending physicians and doctors-in-charge examine patients to monitor daily changes in their condition. They listen sincerely to patients’ requests and concerns and respond with integrity.

  To ensure high-quality care, our physicians collaborate with various healthcare professionals (nurses, pharmacists, etc.) and share information to provide the most appropriate treatment.

  In the absence of the attending physician or doctor-in-charge, the entire department—led by the Ward Director—will work together to ensure that medical activities on the ward continue smoothly and without interruption.

The nursing department provides care based on a 'nursing plan' in consultation with patients and their families to ensure that the patient's wishes are respected.

On the wards, two nurses act as 'receiving nurses' and are in charge of patients from admission to discharge.

Due to shift work, information is shared to ensure that patient care continues to be provided in the absence of the receiving nurse.

In order to restore patients' health and solve problems in their recuperation, support is provided from before hospitalisation with a view to life after discharge. Please do not hesitate to discuss any concerns or problems you may have with the nurses.

Philosophy of Nursing Department

We provide nursing care that supports "being true to oneself" through deep compassion and expert skills.

Nursing Department Policy

1. Provide patient-centered nursing care rooted in high ethical standards.
2. Deliver high-quality nursing through expert knowledge and technical skills that keep pace with advanced medical technology.
3. Foster a spirit of challenge to continually innovate and explore the possibilities of nursing.
4. Deliver collaborative healthcare through mutual understanding and effective teamwork across disciplines.
5. Contribute to the improvement of nursing quality through strong partnerships with the local community.

"Specially Certified Nurses" are medical procedures that were previously considered high-difficulty for nurses to perform. However, they have been newly categorized as acts of medical assistance that can be performed by nurses who have undergone specific training.

Nurses undergo training at institutions designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare and receive certification for each specific act. They then perform these acts based on pre-written Procedure Manuals (Protocols) under the instruction of a physician.

At our hospital, we have established a system to perform these Specific Acts safely and are currently implementing them.

Nurses who have completed this training are referred to as "Specially Certified Nurses". They wear "Specially Certified Nurse" badges so that they can be easily identified by patients and other medical staff.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
