Overview

[Discharge coordination]
When patients admitted to this university hospital are discharged after completing treatment, nurses of the Admission and Discharge Support Center and medical social workers (MSWs) provide post-discharge care support, such as introducing home care services and available hospitals for transfer, according to their condition. *To inpatients who are anxious about their lives after discharge: If you wish to consult, please contact your attending doctor or ward nurse.

[Community liaison pathways]
Community liaison pathways are “treatment protocols” for doctors of community hospitals, family doctors, and doctors of this university hospital to share the course of treatment. Making the process of treatment from admission to discharge and outpatient care clear, these pathways help patients manage themselves, and participate in treatment efficiently and safely with a sense of security.
Community liaison pathways are applied after obtaining informed consent from patients based on the decisions of the doctors in charge. When they are applied, the center provides support for their appropriate use and management.

[Hospital bed management]
The center also manages available beds in the entire hospital and those for sharing.
