The Ministry of Health and Welfare is implementing an integrated nursing care service to reduce the burden of private caregivers who are not covered by health insurance. Professional nursing personnel perform both nursing and nursing work at the same time. Since not all hospitals are currently implementing this, I would like to briefly explain how to find a hospital where the policy is implemented and the integrated nursing care service.

What is Nursing Care Integrated Services?
This system reflects the opinion that the cost of private caregivers is a heavy burden on patients, and a nurse and a nursing assistant work as a team instead of a caregiver to support more specialized nursing and nursing care services. At the same time, it is said that the burden of nursing care costs can be reduced by applying health insurance benefits.
However, not everyone receives support, and it is said that only patients who are enrolled in health insurance, medical benefit patients, and those approved by industrial accident compensation insurance are available.
As for hospitals, not all hospitals across the country implement the system, so you need to check the designated hospital carefully before choosing one.
This is a data showing the reduction in nursing care expenses as of 2019 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The same results may not come out in 2021, but it certainly seems to relieve the economic burden. Of course, it can be a policy with pros and cons, so you can compare well and choose.
Nursing Nursing Finding Integrated Hospital
As mentioned earlier, not all hospitals offer integrated nursing care services, so it is important to find a hospital that supports the service. Currently, the National Health Insurance website provides a service to find the hospital in question.
