The philosophy of Kosei Hospital is “Shinkan” (a Buddhism term that means ‘seeing truth’): Make accurate observations and provide proper aid and treatment. It covers the accurate observation of patients' views of the world and their ways of thinking, their families, and other circumstances that surround them, along with their physical condition and disease state in clinical practice. In light of this philosophy, Kosei Hospital fully communicates with patients and their families, and provides the necessary support to aid in decision-making so that patients can receive the appropriate good quality medical care that they truly desire.
Some of the practices at Kosei Hospital are:
1. Response to the refusal of blood transfusions for religious reasons:
If a patient has clearly expressed that he/she refuses medical procedures associated with blood transfusions because it is against his/her religious beliefs, Kosei Hospital will respect the wishes of the patient whenever possible while providing medical care. However, if it is considered necessary to save the patient’s life, Kosei Hospital will transfuse the patient with the least amount of blood possible.

However, if it is considered necessary to save the patient’s life, Kosei Hospital will transfuse the patient with the least amount of blood possible.
2.Provision of medical care at the last stage of life:
Kosei Hospital has established Guidelines for Medical Care at the Last Stage of Life. In accordance with these guidelines, Kosei Hospital will provide medical care services and decide the policy of the treatment to be provided.
3.Approaches to DNAR (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation) orders:
Based on the Guidelines for Medical Care at the Last Stage of Life, Kosei Hospital has especially established Guidelines for Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) Orders. Kosei Hospital will give DNAR orders in accordance with these guidelines.
4.Efforts to enhance informed consent procedures:
From the viewpoint of enhancing informed consent procedures, Kosei Hospital will, in principle, obtain informed consent from a patient not only when the patient undergoes surgery, but also when he/she receives a physically invasive examination or medicine that may cause a serious adverse drug reaction. Patients give their consent only after receiving an explanation based on the previously prepared detailed written information.
5.Preparations for patients who cannot fully understand Japanese:
Kosei Hospital has been certified by the JMIP (Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients).
Because the Japanese language is used while providing medical care services at Kosei Hospital, the Leaflet for Use of Medical Interpreters has been prepared to provide information on the use of medical interpreter services for patients who cannot fully understand Japanese. In addition, Kosei Hospital lends tablet devices to patients who wish to use them for translation.
