Aiming to provide safe nursing care that enables patients to feel a sense of security and trust, while respecting patients' rights, and provide the possible highest-quality nursing care through united efforts by the entire organization, head nurses are assigned to respective wards, outpatient clinics, and the Clinical Laboratory and Examination Center.

Scope of Medical Services

The Department of Nursing of a university hospital, which provides advanced comprehensive medical services, should provide quality nursing. We therefore pursue higher levels of specialization and advancement to meet the changing needs of the times and communities in our operations for human resource management, administration, education, medical information processing, recruitment, nursing services, and safety. We promote collaboration with the community not only in the facilities, through the university hospital's practical knowledge and education.

This department has an in-depth training system that produces nurses with sophisticated skills, deep knowledge and a spirit of hospitality through both practical and theoretical training. Since fiscal year 2009, the department has been conducting post-graduation clinical training for new nurses, ahead of other hospitals throughout the nation, and systematically engaging in education that allows them to grow and develop as professionals. Since fiscal year 2006, we have been working to vitalize the organization by always approaching nursing care from a viewpoint of customer service, through implementing goal management based on BSC in nursing administration.

Medical Service Results

Certified nurse specialists and certified nurses who have advanced special knowledge and high-quality nursing skills, are working in a wide variety of areas in a cross-functional manner and striving to improve the quality of nursing care. The hospital conducts three in-house certification courses: the management course, the critical care course and the infection control course.

Other Undertakings

We are creating a system to always repond to changes according to the needs of the times.

In fiscal year 2011, we started reviewing the nursing system and international exchange with Asian countries.
