Description

We will institutionalize discharge plan, viewing it as the starting point of holistic care, to ensure patients receive continuous medical and daily living support after discharge. We will strengthen patient-centered continuous care, providing appropriate case management and team collaboration. In line with policy, we will promote "(Hospital at Home, HaH)" to address the acute care needs of an aging society and reduce reliance on emergency rooms and hospitalizations. We will integrate care hubs with home healthcare to provide comprehensive life-cycle care, from health promotion to end-of-life support. We aim to become a model of people-centered home-based care, providing continuous care services that ensure safe discharge, localized care, and dignified passing, demonstrating the hospital's responsibility and responsiveness to an aging society.
