  • Impact of Specialization in Gynecology and Obstetrics Departments On
    Adachi et al. Health Economics Review 2013, 3:31 http://www.healtheconomicsreview.com/content/3/1/31 RESEARCH Open Access Impact of specialization in gynecology and obstetrics departments on pregnant women’s choice of maternity institutions Yoshimi Adachi1*, Hiroyasu Iso1, Junyi Shen2, Kanami Ban3, On Fukui4, Hiroyuki Hashimoto5, Takako Nakashima6, Kenichiro Morishige7 and Tatuyoshi Saijo8 Abstract In April 2008, specialization in gynecology and obstetrics departments was introduced in the Sennan area of Osaka prefecture in Japan that aimed at solving the problems of regional provisions of obstetrics services (e.g., shortage of obstetricians, overworking of obstetricians, and provision of specialist maternity services for high-risk pregnancies). Under this specialization, the gynecology and obstetrics departments in two city hospitals were combined and reconstructed into two centers, i.e., the gynecological care center in Kaizuka City Hospital and the prenatal care center in Izumisano City Hospital. This paper investigates to what extent and how this specialization affected pregnant women’s choices of the prenatal care center and other maternity institutions. We used birth certificate data of 15,927 newborns from the Sennan area between April 1, 2007 and March 30, 2010, for Before and After Analysis to examine changes in pregnant women’s choices of maternity institutions before and after the specialization was instituted. Our results indicated that this specialization scheme was, to some extent, successful on the basis of providing maternity services for high-risk pregnancies at the prenatal care center (i.e., Izumisano City Hospital) and having created a positive effect by pregnant women to other facilities in the nearby area.

Under OGCS, six hospitals (namely Osaka Medical Center and Research Institute for Maternal and Child Health, Osaka City General Hospital, Takatsuki General Hospital, Aizenbashi Hospital, Kansai Medical University Hirakata Hospital, and Yodogawa Christian Hospital) are designated as Base Hospitals, plus, nine other facilities are designated as Sub-base Hospitals. These hospitals play a large role in the Osaka’s regional perinatal healthcare system. In 1999, Osaka Council on Perinatal Health- Tokyo care Strategies was established, and in December of that year Osaka Medical Center and Research 500 km Institute for Maternal and Child Health was des- ignated as the general perinatal medical center for Osaka Prefecture.

    Name: M.K. Universität: Osaka University Programm: Direkt-Austausch Zeitraum: WS 2015/16 Land: Japan Fächer: Biowissenschaften Datum: 18.02.16 E R F A H R U N G S B E R I C H T Ich möchte gerne meine persönlichen Erfahrungen auf den folgenden Seiten teilen, die ich während meines Auslandssemesters (Wintersemester 2015/16) an der Universität Osaka gesammelt habe. Ich hoffe ich kann in den wenigen Seiten so viel Hinweise wie möglich für spätere Austauschstudenten geben, dennoch muss ich im Voraus euch warnen, dass ich ein halb Japaner bin. Viele Sachen kenne ich bereits aus Japan, sodass für mich manche Sachen anders erscheinen als für eine Person, die zum ersten Mal nach Japan kommt. Gewohnt habe ich jedoch noch nie zuvor in Japan, sodass ich mich entschlossen habe dieses Auslandssemester zu machen, um auch einen Eindruck in das Alltagsleben in Japan zu bekommen. Kurzes Porträt der Osaka University Die Osaka University zählt nach der Tokyo und der Kyoto University zu einer der besten Universitäten in Japan. Sie besteht aus drei verschiedenen Campi im Norden der Stadt. Gelangt man erst mal zu einem Campus, kann man dann von dort aus per kostenfreien Shuttlebus zu den beiden anderen Campi gelangen. Alle internationalen Studierenden sind in unterschiedlichen Wohnheimen, sowie in den UR Apartments der Osaka University untergebracht. Diese befinden sich entweder direkt auf dem Campus oder in der Nähe. Auf jedem Campus gibt es mehrere Cafeterien, welche weitgehend typisch japanische Gerichte anbieten. Ein Essen kostet hier zwischen 400 und 700 Yen. Die Auswahl ist reichlich, wobei es schwierig ist Gemüse zu finden.
