Hospital facility record

長野県厚生農業協同組合連合会 北アルプス医療センターあづみ病院

A summary of fields in the published hospital facility record. The facility name and other source proper names remain in Japanese unless the source supplies an English or romanized form.

Source-listed English or romanized name: North Alps Medical center Azumi Hospital

This value is shown as supplied by the source. MedOpen does not independently certify or rewrite source-supplied facility names and does not machine-translate or guess them.

This public record does not assess healthcare quality, treatment outcomes, rank, recommendation or current ability to accept patients. A listed service or notification does not establish current availability.

Matched to official public data

The 2025 report matched 4 ward records. Function categories below count wards; they are not bed counts.

Current bed-function categories by ward count

Categories are reported for 4 of 4 matched wards. Wards without a published category are not assigned to a function.

  • Acute care3 wards
Comparison group

Reported-bed comparison

Comparison view

Regional context uses the same secondary medical area first and widens to the prefecture when needed.

  • Hospital
  • Same prefecture

Fewer than 15 other hospitals were available in the secondary medical area, so the comparison widened to the prefecture.

About these comparison conditions

The structural cohort and the facilities eligible for this metric can differ. Facilities without a verified match or an observed value are not treated as zero.

This is descriptive context. It does not establish equivalent clinical services or patient populations, and it is not a measure of quality or superiority.

Differences between published reports

Among 4 wards with a stable source ward code, name and facility link, 15 observed values differed between releases. These are publication differences; no real-world cause is inferred.
