Kawasaki City: Information Sharing Among Hospitals and Home-Visit Nursing Services Ensures Smooth Care Delivery for Patients (Community Vision)
Summary:
The Kawasaki Nursing Association has created a booklet titled “Effectively Utilizing Nursing Summaries” to promote the smooth transfer of nursing information between hospitals and home-visit nursing stations. This booklet outlines how to complete nursing summaries and highlights key necessary information, aiming to provide high-quality nursing services in response to the increasing number of hospitalizations and home-visit nursing for the elderly. Recognizing the critical importance of information exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions among nursing professionals revealed the need to include diverse information in summaries, such as patients' level of independence and family details. The association prioritized conciseness and clarity in summary completion and distributed the booklet to all medical institutions citywide. As the population ages, effective information-sharing mechanisms are increasingly essential.
