Features of our hospital

hospitalized patient1,000The incidence of falls for humans is2.44In humans, those with injuries ranging from minor injuries to fractures are0.32It was a person. Severe injuries, such as fractures, occur in patients with falls.1.6%was. Because emergency hospitals tend to have many patients with severe symptoms, there is a risk that injuries from falls may be greater.
We will continue to implement measures to prevent falls.

* "Median" is the value in the middle when numerical data is sorted in order of magnitude.
Numerical data here refers to the index values ​​of facilities participating in the Japan Hospital Association QI Project.
Compared to the median value of the 2023 QI Project Results Report published in October 10.
‰ (per mill): 1‰ = 1/1000 = 0.1%
