Japan’s delay in building data infrastructure and promoting Healthcare DX has become a matter of national concern due to factors such as the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
In response, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the Digital Agency, and other related parties are currently working together to establish a nationwide platform for sharing health information, to standardize electronic medical records, and to revise medical service reimbursements through DX.
HGPI aims to contribute to the establishment of a sustainable and trusted healthcare system by organizing the past issues and barriers related to healthcare DX policy from the perspectives of citizens, patients, and parties concerned about the role that healthcare DX should play.
