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: Hokushin General 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.
Facility overview
Reported beds
419The total is from the facility survey. The source field does not say whether beds are licensed, staffed, available or occupied. If the field is blank or unspecified, this page does not infer why.
Listed specialties
27Listing does not establish that appointments are available
Categories are reported for 11 of 11 matched wards. Wards without a published category are not assigned to a function.
Acute care6 wards
Chronic care1 wards
Advanced acute care4 wards
Comparison group
Reported-bed comparison
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.
This uses a separate dataset and reference date from the FY2025 ward report.
Differences between published reports
Among 2 wards with a stable source ward code, name and facility link, 7 observed values differed between releases. These are publication differences; no real-world cause is inferred.

Reuse and modification
Source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan, Bed Function Report Open Data (FY2024/FY2025). Modified and linked to P13 using exact deterministic matching.
The source code is not an official P13 identifier. Displayed rows require a unique exact facility name, prefecture and municipality match in the historical P13 snapshot, followed by unchanged current name, address and geography. Match rule: exact-name-prefecture-municipality-temporal/v1.
Ward reports may not cover all facility activity. Permitted beds, reported maximum use, ward entries/exits and inpatient-days are ward-level fields. No facility totals, occupancy rate or average length of stay are calculated.

Explore notifications listed in the official Regional Bureau publication. MedOpen groups them into categories based on Japan’s medical fee schedule.
We couldn’t confirm a notification for this hospital in the latest covered publication. This does not prove that no notification exists.
We use sections of Japan’s medical fee schedule as categories. These MedOpen analytical groups are not official ministry categories and do not show which services a hospital provides.
Changes across published snapshots
This compares published snapshots. First observed means first found in the MedOpen archive, not a filing date. A prior item missing from the latest snapshot does not prove withdrawal or cancellation.
No facility-level change counts are shown because no notification was observed for this hospital in the latest published snapshot. This does not establish filing status or a change.

Clinical activity in published DPC data
This section summarizes categories and counts appearing in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s published DPC data. It does not represent all hospital activity or assess quality.
The source-to-hospital identity is under review, so no DPC values are shown.

Data periods can differ by source. Specialty and facility-standard lists are shown only where a verified source-to-facility match is available.
