Yokohama City Visiting Nurse Human Resource Development Program

The number of elderly people in Japan announced in September 2020 was 36.17 million, a record high, and the aging rate was 28.7%, a record high. The number of elderly people in Yokohama, which has a large population, is also increasing, and the rate of increase in the elderly population is expected to be significantly higher than in the whole country. From this, it is predicted that the demand for home-visit nursing, which supports the comprehensive community care system in Yokohama City, will rapidly expand, and training and securing human resources for visiting nurses has become an urgent issue. However, it is difficult to promote the training of visiting nurses only at home-visit nursing stations with many small-scale management, and it is necessary to work on the entire region, including hospitals and educational institutions.
Against this background, the “Yokohama City New Graduate Visiting Nurse Human Resource Development Program Development Study Group” was launched as a business of Yokohama City in FY2017, and the name was changed to the “Yokohama City Visiting Nurse Human Resource Development Program Development Study Group” and the study was conducted over four years.
In this program, the nursing practice ability evaluation index (Career Development Program) is set in five stages as a common visit nurse image that Yokohama City aims for, and achievement targets are set for the five abilities at each stage.
We hope that visiting nurses will use this career ladder to clarify their challenges and goals.

In order to encourage visiting nurses to deepen their understanding of this program, we have created a "Yokohama City Visiting Nurse Human Resource Development Program Awareness Video" in collaboration with the Yokohama Home Nursing Council. . Please refer to it when using the program.
