Abstract:

The digital transformation (DX) of the Japanese healthcare sector accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, serving as a major turning point. Initiatives such as online consultations, electronic prescriptions, and sharing medical information using My Number Cards have driven the consolidation of medical information. These initiatives have also improved operational efficiency by reevaluating traditional work processes that relied on paper and face-to-face interactions. This kind of infrastructure improvement is steadily spreading. The focus is now shifting from introducing digitalization to the utilization phase, in which we must consider how to leverage acquired data to create new value and improve healthcare quality.

This presentation will summarize the current state of DX in healthcare and the associated challenges from multiple perspectives. Future prospects will be discussed from two angles: Improving Healthcare Quality Through the Utilization of Medical Information and Creating New Opportunities.
