What is integrated nursing care service?
The integrated nursing care service ward is a service in which professional nursing personnel take care of patients 24 hours a day, including not only nursing but also nursing care, without a guardian or caregiver.
It reduces the social and economic burden of patients and enables systematic infection control. It has the advantage of avoiding an environment that threatens patient safety, such as the risk of infection due to the excessive care burden of hiring private caregivers and the participation of caregivers with insufficient medical knowledge.
Nurses, nursing assistants, and nursing support personnel (ward support personnel, rehabilitation support personnel) form a team to provide nursing and nursing services at once, providing all medical services in a way that reduces efficiency and cost. It is provided by the hospital.
Eligibility for integrated nursing care service
The National Health Insurance Corporation stipulates that there are no restrictions on the severity of the patient’s condition or disease group when using the integrated nursing care service, and that it is conducted for all patients who have agreed to use the integrated service ward.
However, not all hospitals are operating integrated services yet, and even hospitals that operate services may have different operation status for each department, so it is necessary to check.
However, in the case of dementia or severely ill patients, there may be restrictions on the use of the service for those who need intensive care, such as being unable to move on their own or eating alone.
Nursing care integrated service cost
Nursing and nursing integrated services are covered by health insurance, and you can receive nursing services for around KRW 20,000 per day. For patients with severe conditions such as cancer, health insurance is additionally applied and can be used at a lower cost than general patients.
Compared to the 90,000 won a day when a general caregiver was hired, it is about 1/4, and the financial burden on patients and their families has become much lighter according to the purpose.
