In Digital Agency, we will start recruiting additional members of the council in order to renovate hospital information systems, etc. Please check the installation guidelines and consider actively applying.

About the Council

Based on the roadmap for the promotion of Healthcare DX, Digital Agency and Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (hereinafter referred to as the "national government") is considering policies to renovate its current on-premise system and migrate its electronic medical records, receiver computer, and department systems, as a whole, to a cloud-based system that utilizes modern technology.

This fiscal year, we will start accepting applications for Subcommittee C. Subcommittee C refers to a consultative body related to the collaboration of new service groups that contribute to the improvement of operational efficiency of medical institutions by utilizing advanced technologies such as generative AI.

In the previous fiscal year, Subcommittee C focused on small and medium-sized hospitals (about 100 to 200 beds), studied the results of collaboration with electronic medical records, such as interview and voice input, and areas that are considered to be highly effective in improving operational efficiency, and compiled a draft specification for the standard collaboration API (eight pieces) that will be the core.

This fiscal year, while building on the achievements of the previous fiscal year, we plan to expand the scale of medical institutions and the scope of their business areas, and conduct examinations based mainly on the following three concepts.

  • 1. Expansion of the target medical institution scale: The target will be expanded from the last year's study centered on small and medium-sized hospitals, and a standard linkage API that can be widely used from clinics to large hospitals will be studied and organized.
  • 2. Expansion of target business areas and consideration of additional API specifications: In addition to medical interview and voice input, etc., the target will be expanded to business areas that are not currently covered and that contribute to improving the efficiency of office work in the hospital and improving the efficiency of communication with patients, such as business management and PHR-related services, which are considered to have high linkage needs, and additional linkage API specifications will be considered.
  • 3. Verification and improvement of the existing standard API and examination of the operation policy: The standard linkage API established in the previous fiscal year shall be verified and updated and scrutinized based on the results thereof. In addition, the operation policy, such as the revised rules for the next fiscal year and beyond and the criteria for judging the incorporation into the standard requirements, shall be examined and formulated.

Please note that the target of recruitment for this subcommittee is not limited to a specific service area, but rather a wide range of general services that contribute to improving the operational efficiency of medical institutions through information linkage with electronic medical records. In doing so, we will give priority to the participation of businesses that cooperate with the verification and improvement of the linkage API, and businesses that want to demonstrate their own services in the future by utilizing the efforts of this standard API.
