The Integrated Nursing and Care Service Panel Hospital is a project newly implemented this year by the National Health Insurance Service to gather opinions from medical sites and establish a foundation for improving the integrated nursing and care service system. From September 1 to 15, the Service accepted applications from medical institutions meeting the criteria, conducted evaluations, and selected 30 excellent medical institutions as panel hospitals.

Following this selection, Boramae Hospital will cooperate in investigations regarding appropriate staffing and ward environment improvements conducted by the Service for two years from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025. Additionally, it will participate in the advancement of the integrated nursing and care service through medical service design and pilot policy operations.

As of December, Boramae Hospital operates 417 beds across 11 wards as integrated nursing and care service wards. It has also achieved an A grade for five consecutive years since 2019 in the 'Integrated Nursing and Care Service Provider Performance Evaluation' conducted annually by the National Health Insurance Service.

Meanwhile, in August, Boramae Hospital achieved the distinction of being the first general hospital, excluding cancer-specialized hospitals, to receive approval from the National Health Insurance Service to increase nursing staff allocation from a 1:8 ratio to 1:7. Furthermore, it is conducting research projects including the publication of policy research reports related to the integrated nursing and care service system.
