Since the cap system for overtime working hours will also be eligible for doctors from 2024, there is an urgent need to reform the way healthcare professionals work. It is said that ICT and task-shifting will be effective for these issues, and it is thought that the use of diagnostic imaging programs such as medical equipment and remote ICU systems can resolve the excessive labor of doctors. However, the medical fee system has not been evaluated for the functions leading to these work style reforms, and the dissemination to medical institutions has not progressed slowly.
Recommendations
- Proposals are made to ensure that functions leading to work style reform are also evaluated on an appropriate Insurance basis.
