Discovering Reliable Home Medical Care: A New Search Functionality

The website "Ouchi de Medical" has announced a significant upgrade in its service, especially beneficial for patients and healthcare providers seeking dependable home medical care. On July 1, 2025, the platform will roll out a new search feature that allows users to refine their search based on registered information with the health authorities. This function is expected to aid family members and professionals in identifying truly trustworthy home medical institutions throughout Japan, where around 100,000 home medical facilities are listed.

New Search Capabilities

The new functionality focuses on enabling users to filter their search by essential criteria, including the number of deaths managed and the presence of special registration additions by medical institutions. Unlike previous search options, which relied solely on geographic location or type of service, this enhancement promotes a more nuanced search based on actual care capabilities and response strategies.

Examples of Search Options Available

For instance, users will now be able to search for:

• - Home medical care clinics or hospitals within a 16 km radius that have managed over 20 cases of terminal care.
• - Home nursing stations that have registered for enhanced management service fees (Classes 1-3).
• - Pharmacy services that have indicated capability in sterile preparation or home central venous nutrition.

This advanced search capability directly addresses common challenges faced in medical settings, such as discrepancies in reported services versus actual capabilities.

Significant Benefits for Professionals and Families

The new feature is designed smartly to empower clinic administrators, care managers, social workers, and families in their quest for suitable care partners or alternatives. It enables them to quickly identify providers of essential home services, including “doctors who can provide care until the end” and “pharmacies committed to providing home visits.”

By clearly mapping out the real capabilities of each facility based on the data submitted to health authorities, the platform aims to facilitate improved medical support networks and ensure patients receive adequate care in their homes.
