Services |
| |
1.For patients who cannot decide which department to visit, the Department provides preliminary diagnosis and referral services to various departments:
Many diseases do not have a specific manifestation, and different diseases can present similar symptoms. Nevertheless, a family doctor can roughly diagnose 60% to 70% of general diseases based on your past medical history, symptoms, and physical examination. If your disease can only be dealt with by other specialists, a family doctor will find the most appropriate specialist for the patient.
If you do not know which department to visit, orif you have multiple diseases and your condition is complex and covers several departments, the Department of Family Medicine is your best choice!
2.Health Consultation, Physical Health Examination
Our hospital has a health management center, which provides multiple health examinations.Family medicine physicians are responsible for interpreting and following up on the examination reports, including NHI adult health examination, adolescent and child health examination, preventive health disease screening, pre-marital health examination, pre-weight loss health examination, civil servant health examination, student health examination, specially contracted insurance company health examination, migrant worker health examination, and regular follow-ups for occupational diseases.
* Health examination consultation hotline: 03-824-1211, 03-824-1225
3.Chronic Diseases of the Middle-aged and Elderly, Integrated Medicine:
As the population ages, individuals may suffer from several chronic diseases at the same timeor several complications of the same disease.Thus, a family physician must integrate diseases to sort out all conditions, administer necessary and appropriate treatment, and avoid sending a patient into several “departments” for disease treatment and repeated administration.
* Reminder: If you are taking other medicines from other hospitals, please bring them together with the medicine bag to the physician for reference. Considering that each hospital has different medicines and brands, please take the medicine bag or box with the medicine name to avoid taking double doses due to repeated administration or taking medicines that are not suitable to be taken together.Furthermore, the physician may better understand other aspects of your condition, which may help diagnose and treatyour disease.
4.General home-based medical careservices and hospice home-based medical care services
The service targets are patients who live at home, have clear medical needs, and cannot easily go out due to disability or specific diseases.Physicians walk into patients’ homes to perform medical visits and prescribe medicines. If the disease requires placing pipelines or stoma care, home nurses will join the physicians for intensive home medical care.When the patients’ illnessesareterminal, the home nurse will hand them over to the hospice home care nurse to perform intensive home visits and medical treatments with the physicians. Social workers or psychologists may also perform home visits if necessary.
