Building an Electronic Medical Record System Supporting the Good Management of a Municipal Hospital as a Regional Core Hospital

摘要

About 80% of the public hospitals operated by municipal entities across the nation today are said to be running deficits and do find themselves in severe situations as they must deal with cutback in medical costs, doctor shortages and other problems. Fujinomiya City General Hospital, recipient of "Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications' Commendation for Excellence in Municipal Hospital Services (2006)" and "Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare's Commendation for Meritorious Services in Emergency Care (2007)," is one the model hospitals which continue in the black while admirably playing their rolls as regional core hospitals. Fujinomiya City General Hospital has introduced NEC Electronic Medical Record System as one way of supporting its management.
