From October 2022 to December 2022, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) hosted three events titled, “Media Seminar and Workshop for Promoting Healthcare Reform.” Looking to the digitalization of the healthcare system in Japan, which is referred to as digital transformation (DX), these seminars featured opinion exchanges with journalists and other representatives of the media who are well-versed in policies related to healthcare and social security as well as with experts in this field with the objective of helping the public obtain an accurate understanding of Japan’s healthcare and social security systems.
We have synthesized suggestions from those three events regarding current circumstances, issues, and future prospects for advancing healthcare DX in Japan. Furthermore, we summarized the case study from the first event “Digital care in long-term care in the Netherlands”.
Discussion Points
- Perspective 1: To advance healthcare DX, the public must be provided with a clear vision and ongoing explanations of how healthcare DX will improve the quality of everyday life.
- Perspective 2: Different stakeholders have different worries or concerns with regards to healthcare DX. After identifying methods of addressing the concerns of each stakeholder, a shared recognition toward healthcare DX among stakeholders must be built and a system for collaboration that enables them to work toward shared goals must be established.
- Perspective 3: To promote understanding toward healthcare DX among citizens, efforts must be taken to expand opportunities for citizens to experience healthcare DX as part of daily life.
- Perspective 4: Rather than only focusing on carrying out healthcare DX, initiatives should also encompass perspectives on policy criteria and assessment methods for the period after healthcare DX is implemented.
