Revitalizing communication and work style reforms for physicians by digital transformation in medicine
In the medical field, where long working hours by physicians have become a serious problem, there is a need to improve the working environment for physicians, including on-duty, on-call, and night shifts, and to secure appropriate days off. As medical care becomes increasingly sophisticated and complex, it is important to review and streamline work processes and promote team medicine throughout the hospital.
Inner-Hospital Network
-
Speedy information sharing
to individuals and groups -
Simplify connections
to multiple hospital groups -
Communicate smoothly and effectively
anytime, anywhere through a variety of means
It enables information sharing and consultation within and outside the hospital through various means, such as chat, video calls, and medical image sharing. It can be used not only for one-on-one sharing, but also for simultaneous group sharing to activate diagnosis and communication among multiple physicians.
Flexible work style regardless of location
It reduces the burden of on-call work by enabling smooth information sharing and consultation using chat and images, not only inside the hospital, but also outside the hospital on nights and holidays, enabling medical support from home and other locations without the need to rush to the hospital.
Work style reforms for physicians “Join Work”
Join Work*1 enables the real-time monitoring of staff working conditions in a hospital, work management and support for medical operations by linking Beacapp Here and Join. It is also suitable for the requirements of evaluation items in the assessment by the "Medical Institution Work Environment Evaluation Center*2", which is a program of the Japan Medical Association to evaluate the working environment of medical institutions and support improvements.
Beacons (small devices that emit radio waves) are installed in hospitals, and when the Join app detects the beacon, it records the location information of staff member and medical equipment on the Beacapp Here server. The stored data is visualized and can be monitored in real time from a smartphone or PC; since it is not GPS, data outside the hospital is not collected, protecting staff members' privacy.
In addition, by utilizing Join's communication function, it is possible to support medical operations anytime and anywhere, such as giving instructions when overtime is detected and providing medical support remotely.
Join Work is a partnership solution with Beacapp Inc.
The Center for Evaluation of Working Environment of Medical Institutions was designated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in April 2022 by the Japan Medical Association for the purpose of contributing to the efficient provision of quality and appropriate medical care by physicians by evaluating the status of efforts to reduce working hours by physicians working at medical institutions and by providing necessary advice and guidance to the managers of medical institutions regarding their efforts to reduce working hours.
Usefulness of the Center for Evaluation of Working Environments of Medical Institutions in Receiving Evaluations
Medical institutions seeking designation at the B, Cooperative B, or C level must undergo evaluation by the Evaluation Center in advance. The evaluation is conducted from three major perspectives: "labor management system within the medical institution," "efforts to reduce doctors' working hours," and "effectiveness of implementation of efforts.”
- 20 (required): The medical institution to be evaluated has a system to grasp the working (stay) hours.
- 21: There is a system to grasp the non-working hours (mainly for self-study) in the time spent in the medical institution to be evaluated.
- 73: The institution is considering or implementing measures to reduce doctors' working hours and improve work efficiency by utilizing ICT.
