According to the agreement, the Jeonju Medical Association and Jeonju Medical Cooperative will provide integrated services within the health and medical safety net by linking services that were previously provided separately in the two zones of Jeonju City?such as medical care, nursing, welfare, care, housing, and nutrition?into ▲primary care physicians ▲chronic disease management ▲home health consultations ▲emotional support, and more.

Participating medical institutions will classify integrated care recipients based on their health status into ▲primary safety net general chronic disease management group ▲secondary safety net high-risk chronic disease group ▲tertiary safety net village doctor intensive management group, providing differentiated medical services at each stage.

The 'Health and Medical Safety Net' project is one of the representative pilot projects of Jeonju-type integrated care, which has been promoted since 2020.

Among the health and medical safety net services, the primary care physician home visit project has provided various medical services such as ▲intensive management services for chronic disease patients ▲safe medication guidance ▲Da-dok Da-dok mental care project, and material support.

With this agreement, the Jeonju Public Health Center will continue to serve as the secretariat for the health and medical safety net, providing ▲home health management services for recipients ▲intensive dementia screening and case management, supporting local residents to maintain sustainable lives within the community.

A Jeonju city official said, "This year as well, through continuous public-private cooperation and a solidly established service system, we will strive to ensure that elderly people in need of care can live comfortable and stable lives in their own homes."
