一、民营医院的根本任务目前,已是二十世纪末,民营医院经营的目标已由适应变化转变为开发未来。二十一世纪,日本将进入超高龄社会,加上自一九八三年二月起实施老人保健法,医疗保健中出现了新的问题。社会人口老龄化、老年病骤增,这就要求提供良好的医疗保健服务。于是,单是依靠医学院附属医院这类大医院是无法满足需求的。因此,中小型的民营医院今后并非需扩大规模,而是要提高医疗服务质量。 I. The Fundamental Tasks of Private Hospitals At present, it is at the end of the 20th century that the goals of private hospitals have changed from adapting to changing to developing. In the 21st century, Japan will enter a super-aging society. Coupled with the implementation of the elderly health care law since February 1983, new problems have emerged in health care. The aging of the social population and the sudden increase in geriatric diseases require the provision of good health care services. Therefore, relying solely on such large hospitals as medical college hospitals cannot meet the demand. Therefore, small and medium-sized private hospitals do not need to expand their scale in the future, but must improve the quality of medical services.
