Our company will hold a seminar titled "What does online medical care bring to regional healthcare?" Online medical care is finally being recognized as an independent form of treatment. However, are we fully utilizing its advantages in the current situation? Conducting medical consultations online is not merely about using convenient video calls, nor is it simply a supplementary alternative to outpatient care. The challenge for the healthcare providers (supply side) is to determine what kind of medical services can be offered through this new technology and whether it can provide a different quality of care than before. On the other hand, the demand side faces the new challenge of how to utilize this service. It is necessary to consider whether it can ensure high-quality medical care, from both the supply and demand perspectives. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: June 5 (Wednesday) 10:00 - 12:00 (Doors open at 9:30) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Speaker: Member of the Study Group on the Review of Guidelines for the Appropriate Implementation of Online Medical Care Director, Paul Room, Children's and Adults' Clinic, Medical Corporation Shigyō no Kai Dr. Haruo Kuroki *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
