[Hinews] All three hospitals under the Eulji University Medical Center — Daejeon Eulji Medical Center, Nowon Eulji Medical Center, and Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center — earned the highest Grade 1 rating in the 6th Pneumonia Appropriateness Assessment conducted by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), the medical center announced on July 18.

The hospitals achieved perfect or near-perfect scores across five key evaluation metrics: oxygen saturation testing rates, pneumonia severity assessment tool usage, sputum culture testing rates, blood culture testing rates before initial antibiotic administration, and appropriate antibiotic administration within eight hours of hospital arrival. These results highlight their excellence in pneumonia diagnosis and treatment.

Daejeon Eulji Medical Center and Nowon Eulji Medical Center have maintained Grade 1 status for six consecutive assessments since the program’s inception. Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center has also secured Grade 1 in both evaluations since its opening.

Dr. Song Byeong-ju, president of Eulji University Medical Center, said, “This evaluation reaffirms our commitment to enhancing medical service quality. We will continue to prioritize patient-centered, high-quality care.”
