Ota Care Home Nursing Station Introduces Care Plan Data Link System
In July 2025, Ota Care Home Nursing Station, located in Ota Ward, Tokyo, has taken a significant step towards improving its operational efficiency by implementing the
Care Plan Data Link System (commonly referred to as Care-P). This system is intended to streamline the work processes involved in care planning.
Improving Efficiency and Reducing Burden in Care Planning
Previously, the communication of care plans, utilization tickets, and service provision tickets between home care support offices and nursing service providers was largely reliant on analog methods, primarily through FAX and postal services. This practice imposed a heavy burden on staff due to the manual data entry and transcription work required after receiving these documents.
With the new
Care Plan Data Link System provided by the National Health Insurance Central Association, information can now be securely and efficiently transmitted online, greatly alleviating the burdens on personnel.
Benefits of Implementing the Care Plan Data Link System
- - Increased Efficiency: Automating data transfer reduces manual work and transcription efforts.
- - Cost Reduction: Shortening processing times leads to decreased administrative expenses.
- - Improved Employee Well-being: The system mitigates psychological stress on employees and enhances their work-life balance.
- - Strengthened Governance: Enhances management quality.
It is important to note that both sender and recipient must adopt the system for effective use. Furthermore, local municipalities have established subsidies to support the implementation process.
Current Promotion: One-Year Free Licensing with Free Pass Campaign
Currently, as part of a promotional campaign led by the National Health Insurance Central Association, the standard licensing fee of 21,000 yen per year will be waived for a whole year starting June 1, 2025. This initiative lowers the entry barrier for many service providers, making it an opportune moment for adoption.

Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Confirms System Integration
On June 30, 2025, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced that the existing Care Plan Data Link System will be integrated into the upcoming
Care Information Infrastructure, scheduled to be operational next fiscal year.
The new Care Information Infrastructure aims to ensure that all stakeholders—offices, facilities, medical institutions, municipalities, and users—can access necessary information safely and at any time. This transition will contribute to the digital transformation (DX) of paper-based operations, accelerate information sharing, and enhance service quality.
Main Benefits from the Integration:
- - Simplified operation by eliminating the need to navigate between different web systems.
- - Cost savings through centralized maintenance and operations.
- - Gradual implementation across municipalities nationwide, with a target for roll-out by April 2028.
