In addition, it plans to provide a comprehensive consulting service, not mention to the opportunities for hospital visits and workshops and will
play its role to help this service to be stably settled in other institutes.
In 2022, the leading hospital will be operated
from April 1 to December 31.
Park Jin-sik, the director of Bucheon Sejong Hospital, said, “based on our experiences that have been accumulated so far, we
will pass on various know-hows to new hospitals which prepare to introduce the service,” and he added, “we
will do every effort to improve the quality of hospitalization service and
operate wards in a stable way.”
On the other hand, Bucheon Sejong Hospital began the integrated nursing and care service in July 2013 for the first time in order to create a safe and pleasant ward environment, and this service was applied to all wards in the hospital in July 2014. It led to high satisfaction of patients and guardians, and
the exemplary service operation was accredited as the hospital was awarded a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare.
