'ADMETY-Me,' Health Information System featuring Specified Health Check Compatibility in Support of Health Examinations for the Ageing Society

摘要

"Obligation of Specified Health Checks (also called the metabolism check) and Specified Health Guidance to Medical Insurers" is one of the medical budget reduction projects announced by the Japanese MHLW (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). It has caused a significant impact on the health check industry of Japan. Previously, medical institutions were allowed to decide freely on the contents of health checks and other services (via private practice at the expense of the examined). However, they are now forced to perform a standard health checkup as defined by the "Law Concerning the Securing of Medical Care for the Elderly" and to create a new general health information system to deal with it.rnThis paper is intended to introduce the latest package in the industry for dealing quickly with the current environment, in which health check organizations all over Japan are required to meet the new requirements. However, it is also expected that the contents and application methods of health checks will be revised periodically in the future.
