Integrative Holistic care and Hospitalist Training
In 2019, we established the Division of Hospital Medicine, which subsequently became part of the Department of Internal Medicine in 2021. By 2022, we had introduced the Geriatric-Integrated Co-Care System, and in 2023, we secured a grant from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, leading to close collaboration with the Department of Community Medicine. Our team actively facilitates patient transfers between hospitals, engaged in post-acute care, provides home care, and conducts regular visits to long-term care institutions. In 2024, we initiated the implementation of Hospital at Home for acute patient care in their own homes.
As a bridge between emergency care, internal medicine subspecialties, and other specialties, our multidisciplinary team meets regularly to address patient issues, achieving positive outcomes across various healthcare quality indicators. In the realm of geriatric co-care, we utilize assessments such as CGA (Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment) and ICOPE (Integrated Care for Older People) to address functional issues, emphasizing not only longevity but also overall well-being.
Regarding medical education, we actively promote POCUS (Point-of-Care Ultrasound) and our innovative “three-point breakthrough” teaching method, which has generated favorable feedback from medical students.
