Business Overview
Background
Integrated Medical and Welfare Service System
- The recent social welfare paradigm has shifted toward deinstitutionalization and support for independent living, evolving into a user-centered, community-based approach.
By improving the living environments of persons of distinguished service to the state and their families who have mobility difficulties due to disability or old age, this program honors the sacrifices of those who have served the nation, helps them lead a healthy and comfortable life, realizes robust veterans’ support, and focuses on strengthening respect and recognition for persons of distinguished service to the state.
- The shift from “facility-based welfare” to “home-based welfare” highlights the need to provide integrated medical and welfare services to disabled and elderly persons of distinguished service to the state, independently develop home-based welfare programs, and achieve world-class service delivery.
- Implement outreach welfare services, such as removing physical barriers indoors and outdoors, to enable long-term care patients discharged from hospitals to enjoy a comfortable retirement at home with their families.
- Make efforts to provide integrated medical and welfare services to persons of distinguished service to the state by linking welfare facilities such as VHS Hospitals and VHS Nursing Homes, and to conduct research for world-class service delivery, including the independent development of home-based welfare programs.
