Just for your information

• There are 9,034 hospitals in Japan. 5.5 of them
  have EMR systems. (20.9 of hospitals with more
  than 400 beds have EMR systems.) But, almost all
  of them are not interoperable.
• Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Labor wants EMR
  systems to be semantically interoperable.
• AS a first step to this, MHWL plans to reward
  health institutions which provide patients
  healthcare information burned onto CDR.
