Jeonnam National University Hospital Holds Meeting of 'Essential Medical External Council'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam National University Hospital (Director Lee Samyong) announced on the 26th that it held a meeting of the ‘Essential Medical Out-of-Hospital Council’ on the 25th to establish a regional public health medical cooperation system.

The public health medical cooperation system aims to eliminate medical disparities between regions and promote balanced regional development of essential medical services such as stroke, heart disease, cancer, elderly fractures, and respiratory diseases by building a network with related institutions within the region and establishing a system for cooperation.

About 30 officials from related institutions, including the government-designated center (Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Center) and six hospitals in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas, attended the council held at Baeknyeon Hall, Building 6 of the hospital, showing great interest in the cooperation system.

At the meeting, active discussions were held on the agenda items of ▲ establishing care plans for discharged patients and explaining regional linkage projects ▲ guidance on how to use the public medical linkage network.

The essential medical cooperation model is developed in four areas: post-discharge maintenance and recovery, pre-hospital stage treatment, prevention and health management, and education and workforce support.

First, post-discharge maintenance and recovery involves continuous management by linking discharged patients in essential medical fields with related institutions in the local community.

Pre-hospital stage treatment establishes a cooperation system for the transfer and referral of severe emergency patients, enabling prompt procedures, examinations, and treatment. The prevention and health management area maintains medical cooperation and management support for chronic disease patients and chronic disease medical cooperation for healthcare institutions in medically vulnerable areas.

Additionally, the education and workforce support area builds essential medical clinical education for personnel at regional health medical institutions and establishes a medical personnel exchange network.

To this end, plans are underway to develop a web service for smooth information exchange and medical cooperation regarding patients in collaboration with related institutions, thereby establishing a public medical linkage network.
