SMG Yonsei Hospital Provides Nursing Services Without Guardians or Caregivers

Start of Operation for Integrated Nursing and Care Service Ward

SMG Yonsei Hospital began full-scale operation of its integrated nursing and caregiving service ward on the 10th.

The integrated nursing and caregiving service system is a program where professional nursing staff, composed of nurses and nursing assistants, provide high-level nursing services ranging from basic care to specialized nursing without the need for guardians or caregivers.

SMG Yonsei Hospital has officially started operating a comprehensive nursing and caregiving service ward.

Through this, the economic and psychological burdens on guardians due to caregiving are reduced, and hospitalized patients receive higher quality services. In particular, it helps improve patients' self-care abilities and supports early recovery to daily life in a patient-centered, comfortable, and safe hospital room environment.

The integrated nursing and caregiving service ward at SMG Yonsei Hospital has significantly enhanced its facilities and equipment by installing electric beds, fall detection sensors, and operating a substation to ensure patient safety and convenience.

Hospital Director Kim Jeong-hwan stated, “Since the hospital takes full responsibility for patients' nursing and caregiving services, we will become a hospital that can heal not only the body but also the mind,” adding, “We will do our best to provide a ward that is safe and reliable even without guardians, and to offer high-quality inpatient services.”
