New SCUEL Data Visualizes EHR Lifecycle for Hospitals Across Japan

In a groundbreaking development for the medical industry, Mii Company, based in Minato, Tokyo, has launched a novel dataset called SCUEL aimed at visualizing the lifecycle of electronic health records (EHR) in hospitals across Japan. This strategic data resource is set to enhance the operational capabilities of healthcare ICT companies by providing insights into when hospitals are due for EHR updates. As of 2025, data indicates that there are 173 hospitals likely entering their renewal phase, making this information crucial for targeted sales efforts.

The Significance of EHR Updates

Electronic health records, integral to modern healthcare, generally require updates every 5 to 7 years. With SCUEL's innovative tool, companies can predict the optimal timing for renewal proposals, significantly improving their sales strategies. By analyzing information from the websites of specific medical institutions, SCUEL has identified 173 hospitals that implemented EHR systems in 2020. These hospitals are anticipated to be entering a crucial renewal period, thus presenting potential business opportunities for EHR vendors.

Valuable Insights from SCUEL

SCUEL collects and organizes data derived from publicly available information, including announcements on hospital websites. Analyzing records from the years 2020 to 2024, SCUEL provides detailed statistical insights categorized by bed size, type of medical practice, and region. This resource can serve as a vital reference point for understanding where the demand for EHR replacements is most concentrated in the upcoming years (2025-2028).

Mii Company is offering a free report titled "Insight into Replacement Demand through Past Implementation Records". The report includes:

The Method Behind SCUEL's Data Collection

Why is SCUEL capable of providing such insightful data? The company has been operating a unique service called "SCUEL NEWS" for over five years, which involves the collection and structuring of announcement information from healthcare institution websites. By employing AI technology to analyze unstructured data, SCUEL has created a chronological database tracking which hospitals adopted or updated their EHR systems and when. Furthermore, SCUEL analyzes big data regarding financial indicators such as revenue and profit margins of hospitals, adding another layer of context for commercial decisions.

Addressing Sales Challenges

In recent times, hospitals have faced deteriorating financial conditions, causing issues with credit checks that could derail proposals even if they receive initial approval. SCUEL's data helps sales teams design their approaches by taking into account these invisible risks, transforming it from a mere installation list into an actionable resource. This allows sales teams to understand investment flows into hospitals for EHR systems based on comprehensive financial and operational metrics.

Main Use Cases for SCUEL's Dataset

- Identifying hospitals that have surpassed the 5-year mark for EHR usage for targeted replacement sales.
- Understanding regional trends in EHR updates.
- Scoring sales leads based on renewal timelines.
- Tailoring approaches according to the financial health of the hospitals.

Data Access and Format

SCUEL’s dataset on the implementation and update timelines for EHR systems is available in a highly versatile CSV format. This makes it easy for customers to integrate the dataset into their existing hospital master files without necessitating complex system development or integration tasks.
