About designated update application

In order to ensure stable and continuous provision of nursing care services even in the event of natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms and floods, and infectious diseases, all nursing care services are required to formulate a business continuity plan (BCP), training, and training, etc. are required for all nursing care services (until March 31, 2024). Please refer to the guidelines (outside site) published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (external site).

Establishments that expire on the designated validity period should check the "Flow of Designated Renewal Application" and perform necessary/required procedures by the deadline set for each renewal date. If you do not complete the procedure, the designated effect will be lost due to the expiration of the validity period, so please contact the person in charge of each operating corporation and make sure that you carry out the procedure.
