Tokyo's Commitment to Digital Healthcare

In an effort to improve the quality and safety of medical services for its residents, Tokyo has launched a new initiative to support the implementation of electronic medical record (EMR) systems across the city. This move comes as part of the government's broader digital transformation vision aimed at enhancing healthcare accessibility and efficiency. The initiative features a dedicated consultation service for hospitals and medical clinics looking to adopt EMR systems, allowing them to seek guidance on various aspects such as preparation, costs, and operational matters at no charge.

Background of the Initiative

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has recognized the critical role of digital technology in healthcare and is actively promoting the sharing of medical information among healthcare institutions. With EMR systems serving as the foundational platform for this information exchange, the government has set up the "Electronic Medical Record Consultation Service" to be officially open from April 14, 2025. The initiative aims to provide healthcare organizations with the necessary support to transition smoothly towards digital medical record systems.

日本データー's Role

株式会社日本ビジネスデータープロセシングセンター, also known as 日本データー, has been entrusted with managing this consultation service due to their extensive expertise in medical administration and systems support. Established as an IT solutions provider, 日本データー has been at the forefront of innovative technology in various sectors, including healthcare, public welfare, and robotics. Their commitment to enhancing community health infrastructure is underscored by their reorganization in 2024, leading to the creation of specialized departments targeting digital transformation in both healthcare and governmental operations.

This consultation service will leverage 日本データー's rich experience, focusing on areas like:

• - Medical Information Help Desk: Supporting medium to large hospitals in managing medical information-related inquiries.
• - Regional Medical Coordination: Providing telephone support to facilitate communication between healthcare providers.
• - Public Service Support: Assisting local governments in addressing citizen inquiries related to healthcare initiatives.
• - IT Operations Support: Offering help desk services to businesses and educational institutions, safeguarding smooth IT operations.

Comprehensive Support for Healthcare Institutions

The core goal of the consultation service is to ensure healthcare institutions can confidently adopt EMR systems. 日本データー aims to provide meticulous support tailored to each institution's needs, thereby accelerating the digital transformation of healthcare whilst ensuring sustainable access to high-quality services nationwide. As Japan faces an increasing aging population, the focus remains on building a resilient healthcare system that meets the challenges of a changing society.

The consultation service is available to hospitals and medical clinics in Tokyo that have not yet adopted EMR systems, and inquiries can be made through various channels such as phone calls, fax, or an online inquiry form. Additionally, in-person consultations will be offered when necessary, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the EMR system benefits and preparations involved.

Topics Covered During Consultations

During the consultation, healthcare institutions can seek guidance on:

• - What an electronic medical record system entails
• - The advantages of implementing EMR systems
• - Key points for preparation leading up to EMR adoption, including typical processes, associated costs, and financial support from the government
• - Necessary security measures to protect patient information
