Pre-Admission & Admission For Patients

Pre-Admission

Making a Reservation for Hospitalization

If you made a reservation to be hospitalized, your hospital ward will call you to tell you the time and day you can start your hospital stay. Please let your hospital ward know if that time and day are okay or not. If you do not let them know, we will think you are not coming and cancel your hospital stay.
If you need to change the date of your stay for some reason, please call the hospital immediately.
Please fill out the “Written Pledge of Hospitalization” you received when you made the reservation and bring it with you. Make sure your co-signer (an adult who could pay the bills) and guarantor does not forget to put their stamp or seal on it.

What You Need to Know

There are four important points we would like you to know upon hospitalization.

Explanation and agreement (Informed Consent)

Please receive a thorough explanation of your illness, examinations, and treatment policy from your doctor.
Please consult with your family who will be able to receive explanations of the illness.
The ‘Hospital Care Plan’ in which your treatment schedule are written will be handed over to you during your hospitalization, and a doctor or nurse will explain to you about the plan.

Explanation of patient’ s condition, surgery, treatment and consultation are performed within consultation hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ) on weekdays as a rule.
**Our hospital may not be able to accept patient or his/her family’ s request of explanations mentioned above during nighttime or weekend except when clinical department needs to do so.
 

What is ‘Certificate of eligibility for ceiling-amount’ application

We recommend you to apply for it before your admission, and present the approved certificate at the Inpatient reception on the day of your hospitalization. The amount of payment will be reduced by applying and acquiring the certifi cate.
※For more details, please refer to this or attached sheet, ‘Certificate of eligibility for ceiling amount application.

Visiting different medical institutions during your hospitalization

In principle, you are not allowed to see medical professions at different medical facilities other than Kyushu University Hospital (including your home doctor) during your hospitalization in our hospital. Visiting and seeing other medical practitioners at other facilities with your own favor (including your family having a consultation on your behalf) will cost you 100%, meaning your health insurance will not cover its fees. However, this rule is excluded when you visit a dental institution during your medical (non-dental) hospitalization in our hospital.

(e.g.) I asked my family to get my medications from my family doctor because they are running out.
➡Make sure to inform your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are taking regular medications.

Please talk to your doctor about a consultation with a doctor at a different medical institution during your hospitalization.
If you have questions, please contact a person in charge of hospitalization (TEL: 092-642-5149).
 

For those who are facing surgery **Details about surgery will be given to you after your admission.

Stop smoking

Smokers have higher risks of getting inflammation in bronchial tubes and having more phlegm. After operations, it is hard to cough because of wound pains, and it accumulates phlegm and it could end up inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia). Let’ s stop smoking now if you are a smoker.

Mind your oral care

Risk of developing of pneumonia could be reduced by keeping oral cleanliness.
Visit our Perioperative Oral Care Centre, and keep in mind to practice brushing your teeth properly at home.

Prevent infection

For a coming operation, make a routine to gaggle and wash your hands to prevent getting cold. Please be sure to contact a relevant outpatient department if your physical conditions become poor (having more than 38℃ fever, diarrhea etc.) on your admissionday.
