Occupational health efforts and the state of preparation for the implementation of doctors’ work-style reforms in medical institutions in the Kanto region (2023 survey)
Occupational health activities in hospitals showed high implementation rates for legally required measures, such as the appointment of occupational physicians, the establishment of health committees, and infection control measures, regardless of hospital size. However, elements such as workplace rounds, face-to-face consultations with employees working long hours, return-to-work interviews with those recovering from mental illnesses, and doctor work-style reform measures had higher implementation rates in larger hospitals, thus indicating a disparity based on hospital size.
