Creating a city with a smart hospital at its core Seikokai

Seikokai Social Medical Corporation (Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture) has begun full-scale operation of the medical facility DX system “eyeMIRU,” which was jointly developed with Shimizu Corporation.
The system makes it possible to grasp the outpatient situation from a bird’s-eye view. It has been confirmed that the system can provide timely support to busy departments.
In the future, it plans to link it to a patient application, aiming to shorten outpatient waiting times.
As an effort to improve its deficit management that has continued for 10 years, Seikokai has introduced departmental cost management, in which the heads of each department understand and manage the income and expenditures of their own departments.
The heads of each department have digitally visualized the information necessary to manage their departments, and the organization has promoted management improvement by creating an organization where each on-site employee can think and act for themselves.
Ultimately, the company hopes to strengthen cooperation with corporations that provide medical and nursing care in the region, and to create a city centered on smart hospitals, where medical care is provided in a community-based, self-contained medical system that brings together the functions of each corporation. The company plans to realize a smart hospital by developing three applications: one for inpatient use, one for outpatient use, and one for patients.
