Please use ambulances properly

Yokohama City currently has a fleet of 84 ambulances in operation. If these ambulances are used to transport people with minor illnesses or injuries to hospital, response times for those in a serious condition will be delayed. Only call an ambulance in an emergency. Please remember this principle.

Ratio of patients transported or not transported to hospital in an ambulance* (Naka Ward, 2022)

*Cases that did not result in the transportation of a patient by ambulance due to the individual’s refusal or other reasons.

Not transported: 35%
Transported: 65%
→ Naka Ward’s average non-transportation rate is significantly higher than Yokohama City’s average rate of 21%.

Breakdown of the degree of injury or illness of those transported to hospital by ambulance

Minor illness: 51%
Moderate illness: 41%
Serious or critical illness: 7%
Death: 1%
→ Excluding those who were not transported or who had minor injuries, only about 30% of all cases required hospitalization and treatment.

As time goes on, the chances of saving a life decrease rapidly.

① Approx. 50% of people die within 3 minutes after cardiac arrest
➁ Approx. 50% of people die within 10 minutes after respiratory arrest
③ Approx. 50% of people die within 30 minutes after massive hemorrhage
To save the life of an injured or sick person and help them reintegrate into society, it is of the utmost importance to provide life-saving treatment promptly.

Have you ever thought about where you would like to spend your time when you need medical or nursing care on a daily basis? Here is an introduction to home health care and nursing care.

You can receive medical care at home

What is the role of a visiting physician?

A visiting physician is a “family doctor” who regularly visits the patient’s home, acts as a bridge to the hospital, and consults with the patient at their home regarding any concerns or illnesses.

Home medical care begins in a variety of ways. In many cases, patients who have been hospitalized for broken bones or cancer wish to receive medical care at home and are requested to do so by a hospital specialist. Through visits, we provide support so that they can choose the most appropriate medical care.

For advice during a stay at hospital, please consult with the hospital’s counseling office

If you are thinking that you want to be discharged from hospital and go home, but are anxious to do so, please consult with someone at the hospital’s consultation room. We will come up with something together with you and help you prepare to go home.

What is the role of a medical social worker (MSW)?

At hospitals and other medical institutions, MSWs provide various consultations and support for patients and their families in their daily lives during medical treatment.

Although the thought of living at home while receiving care can be daunting, visiting physicians, visiting nurses, care managers, and other professionals can help. In addition, if medical attention becomes necessary during home care, you can seek advice on hospitalization at the Regional Comprehensive Care Unit or other facilities. It is a good idea to take on this challenge so that you have no regrets.

How to use long-term care insurance services

Long-term care insurance is a system mainly for people 65 years of age and older to receive assistance in daily living and physical care when independent living becomes more difficult.

General flow of procedures

Application (the individual concerned or a family member applies at the ward office or a community care plaza)
  ↓
Examination of mental and physical conditions
  ↓
Assessment and decision
  ↓
Use of nursing care services (select a care manager and consult with the care manager about what services are needed)

What kind of services are available?

Home-visit nursing care, home nursing care, day care, welfare equipment rental, etc.
*The content and amount of services available vary depending on the certified level of care required.

What is the role of a care manager?

Care managers consult with people in need of care and their families, organize the problems they are facing, and coordinate the necessary services.

People worry that, as they get older and need nursing care, they will be able to do fewer and fewer things on their own, and that consequently they will cause a nuisance to their families. They are also concerned about what will happen if they suddenly become ill or their condition worsens.
If you want to live at home, however, you can make use of long-term care insurance services and stay in your own home. There are many people who live at home while using long-term insurance services.
If you have concerns about living at home, please consult with us first. We will work with you to find a way for you to live at home with peace of mind.
