Kaizuka Hospital

What Kaizuka Hospital does

Kaizuka Hospital (医療法人 貝塚病院) is a private medical corporation operating a 199-bed secondary emergency acute-care hospital in Hakozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, Japan, founded in 1988. It runs 21 clinical departments across four specialty centers — Digestive, Vascular Surgery, a 39-bed Dialysis Center (two daily shifts), and a Chemotherapy Center — supported by two operating rooms delivering roughly 450 procedures per year, a 24/7/365 emergency outpatient service, and approximately 200 outpatients per day. The hospital is the designated Block Support Hospital for the 5th Block of Higashi-ku, holds Japan Council for Quality Health Care certification, and maintains academic partnerships with Kyushu University, Kurume University, and Fukuoka University for specialist coverage.

The hospital's revenue model is anchored in Japan's National Health Insurance and Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care fee schedules, billed through a DPC (Diagnosis Procedure Combination) inpatient framework plus fee-for-service outpatient billing. It supplements this with self-pay offerings (notably the ¥33,000 Intestinal Microbiome DNA Examination launched in June 2025) and corporate/association health-checkup and Ningen Dock contracts. Go-to-market is overwhelmingly local and direct: secondary-emergency referrals, walk-in outpatients, regional clinic referrals, and an integrated home-care ecosystem comprising the Kaizuka Hospital Visiting Nursing Station and Kaizuka Hospital Home Care Support Office (both wholly-owned subsidiaries), plus a cooperating nursing home. Community outreach — including the Kaizuka Kids Festa, Higashi-Hakozaki Health Festa, civic-hall lectures, and a children's cafeteria — reinforces referral flow.

Technology infrastructure is conventional hospital IT (electronic medical records, SPD pharmaceutical inventory, DPC billing, 3D radiology workstation) without any disclosed AI/ML layer. Management is led by Chairman Tetsuya Shoji and Hospital Director Satoshi Koga, with Nursing Director Ayumi Yoshiryu overseeing a PNS (Partnership Nursing System) at 10:1 patient-to-nurse ratios (13:1 in rehabilitation wards). The hospital employs between 251 and 500 staff, including a credentialled rehabilitation team of 18 PTs, 12 OTs, and 3 SLTs, and has formulated a 2030 VISION positioning the institution as 'a hospital that gathers people, together with the region.'
