Striving for a Healthy, Friendly Society Where Everybody Receives Quality Medical Care, All the Time.
Accommodating the progressive aging of the population is only one of the many problems faced by the Japanese medical profession. In the search for answers, and always putting the patient's interests first, the Tokushukai fundamentally reexamined the situation and came up with ideas for improvement. For one thing, we decided to adopt the American method of separating care and management. For another, to take full advantage of the advantages represented by the overall strengths of our group, we streamlined and increased the efficiency of all aspects. The large scale of our operations enabled us to lower facility construction and pharmaceutical purchase costs and to intensify equipment utilization. In addition to increasing the number of staff and amplifying and strengthening our educational and training systems, we have expanded regional care and established hospital units to serve depopulated and isolated zones.
Our Work Begins with Emergency Care
At all Tokushukai hospitals, everything starts with emergency care. Every day, 24 hours a day, our facilities are open and our staff is ready to handle emergencies requiring everything from primary to tertiary treatment. Work of this kind demands split-second judgments, accurate commands, and excellent staff coordination. Ceaseless research keeps our staff ready to respond rapidly to emergency situations and to work together in close-knit, life-saving teams. We hold ACLS courses monthly to learn resuscitation on a scientific basis and standardize it on the basis scientifically.
Serving Society with Sophisticated Technology
Continual study and implementation of the latest technology are constantly improving the technical proficiency of Tokushukai medical staff. For example, a Tokushukai doctor recently succeeded in brilliantly performing double coronary-bypass surgery on an arteriosclerotic patient without resort to an artificial heart and with only a small incision instead of a sternotomy. The procedure has numerous highly attractive advantages. The small incision reduces patient pain and psychological trauma. Furthermore, surgical costs are greatly lowered.
Networking to Combat Chronic Diseases
A well-rounded system operated by experienced doctors and expert technicians is indispensable to the treatment of chronic illnesses. Tokushukai has such a system integrated into a large network of health departments, regional medical associations, and other public and private institutions.
Our efforts for the project to realize custom-made medical care
Tokushukai participates in a project to establish a database for medical care that meets each patient's needs. To improve medical services for the twenty-first century, we constructed EBM so that we can choose medicine according to patient needs.
High-level, Up-to-date Care for Outlying Regions
To bring quality care to everyone everywhere, Tokushukai is vigorously tackling the problem of serving the many people living in Japan's numerous isolated regions and remote islands. We operate over ten hospitals as operational centers for outlying clinics and welfare facilities outfitted with the latest equipment. The experienced physicians and technicians staffing these facilities provide medical care as good as any found anywhere.
Comprehensive and Enlightened Preventive Medicine
Dread of adult diseases like hypertension, cancer, cardiac disease, and diabetes steadily intensifies concern for preventive medicine. Tokushukai addressed this area at an early stage. Now, our full checkup system covers infants to adult examinations. In addition, we promote awareness of these diseases among the regional population by means of periodicals, classes, and lectures.
Providing Diverse Proposals for a Graying Society
As the percentage of the elderly in the Japanese population steadily rises, so too does the urgent need to provide the elderly with good medical care. As part of a national plan, work is underway to train personnel and provide essential home care, intermediate facilities, and regional hospitals. Tokushukai is cooperating energetically in this plan by building new rehabilitation centers, enlarging existing ones, and setting up at-home care and visiting nurse programs.
