As part of the function enhancement initiative as a primary care physician, the clinic provides consultations on health checkup results, referrals to specialists, long-term care insurance and welfare services, after-hours inquiries, and management of medications prescribed at other facilities. Through after-hours response capabilities, the clinic handles emergency consultations by phone until 10 PM outside regular clinic hours. From the perspective of preventing the spread of infectious diseases, consultations for common colds are limited to regular patients, and appointments are required with prior phone contact regardless of fever status.
