[Transition in nutritional management and the home care service system in our hospital].
During the past two years, Kaname-cho Hospital has been diligent in meeting the health care needs of its patients through its home care service. In nutritional management, considering the activity of daily living (ADL) and the burden of the family, gastrostomy and intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH) have been increased. Although we started with services provided by physicians, nurses, and medical social workers (MSW), recently clinical pharmacists and dieticians have entered our home care services. Due to the strong support of our staff, it is now possible for Kaname-cho Hospital to provide a very fine, efficient home care service.
