JPI Seminar: An In-Depth Look at Hospital Management

On May 15, 2025, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar titled "Current Trends and Future Changes in Hospital Management," featuring the renowned healthcare director and CPA Masakazu Odawara from PwC Consulting. This event aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the changing landscape within hospital management, particularly in response to recent healthcare reforms.

Background and Objectives

Odawara will leverage both a macro perspective and hands-on experience to examine these pressing issues.

Additionally, the seminar will delve into the impact of regulations introduced in April 2024 that limit overtime for physicians. The discussion will not only highlight the implications for hospitals but also the necessary responses expected from pharmaceutical companies and related sectors.
