Director MATSUDA, Naoyuki (Professor) |
Establish a medical care system to enable patients to receive treatment with a sense of security even in an emergency |
Provision of the best possible medical services to patients ranging from primary to tertiary emergencies in cooperation with all clinical departments, with a focus on full-time emergency physicians. |
An emergency outpatient clinic is operated according to instructions by doctors dedicated to the emergency department. For patients in severe conditions who require urgent care, we conduct triage and provide medical care based on priorities.
Our department handles all emergency cases from walk-in primary patients to tertiary patients in severe conditions. We have established a system for not refusing emergency patients who have consulted us before, as a rule.
Emergency medicine supervising doctors and specialists are stationed around the clock in the emergency outpatient clinic, preparing for every kind of medical emergency. We have introduced an on-duty system in every medical department to seek medical care in each specialized field.
The number of emergency patients totaled 12,024 in fiscal year 2011. The department collaborates on pre-employment and in-service training for emergency medical technicians. As a disaster base hospital, it is actively preparing for major disasters.
Even when patients develop medical emergency that are different from their regular medical problems, we have a system to provide specialized medical care and get cooperation from an appropriate specialized medical department.
