Evaluation to improve medical treatment efficiency and reduce the burden on medical practitioners (work style reform/hatarakikata kaikaku)

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 labour of doctors. However, under the current medical reimbursement system, these functions that contribute to workstyle reform are not being recognised or evaluated, and their adoption by medical institutions has been slow.
