HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS- Digitization of Japan's Healthcare

Japan is on the cusp of a revolution in digitization of its healthcare system. Regulations are changing quickly to bring the Japan up to date with SaaS based systems which allow for collaboration between a wide variety of healthcare providers, university hospitals, National Medical Centers, Registries, Insurance providers and government agencies.

EMR:

As of 2024, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) use in Japan varies widely based on the size of medical instituion. More than 50% of small offices and clinics do not have an EMR system in place. Large hospitals typically have on-premise server-based systems, which are expensive to maintain, and carry a cyber security risk.

Recent regulatory changes make SaaS-based systems more attractive and more cost effective for healthcare providers.

Opportunities in Japan:

Patient Reported Outcomes:

Huge opportunities in digitization of Patient Reported Outcomes exist. As of early 2024, it is still very challenging to collect patient reported outcome. For example, patients need to come into the hospital or clinic to answer questionnaires, or health care providers must visit the patients at their home, which is very costly and difficult.
