In the field of home-visit nursing, the expansion of home medical care needs is simultaneously accompanied by difficulties in securing personnel and an increase in indirect tasks.
Amidst the ongoing difficulty in recruiting nursing staff, the efficiency of peripheral tasks such as document processing, inquiry handling, and maintenance and operation of existing systems has become a critical issue that affects the sustainability of the field.
Comix Inc. (Headquarters: Maruyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akihiro Suzuki) is providing generative AI utilization support to a company operating multiple home-visit nursing businesses in the Kanto region, progressively promoting measures such as document processing automation, internal knowledge utilization, and legacy system migration.
This case is introduced with the client company's name undisclosed at their request.
## Background and Challenges
In the home care sector, including home-visit nursing, the demand for services continues to increase due to the aging population, while securing nursing staff has become even more difficult. Public information from the Japanese Nursing Association shows that the job opening ratio for nursing professionals remains high, with home-visit nursing stations exceeding a 4x ratio, indicating the severity of recruitment difficulties. In situations where it is difficult to maintain sufficient staff, the burden of administrative tasks supporting patient care itself becomes a management challenge.
Even at the client company being supported this time, input work across multiple systems such as electronic medical records, medical fee receipts, and account management, as well as the verification and transcription of paper documents, occurred daily. In particular, approximately 1,800 documents related to home-visit nursing were generated monthly, and the sheer volume of processing put pressure on on-site staff's time. Simply adding personnel had its limits, making it necessary to simultaneously advance the automation of routine processing and the establishment of an information infrastructure to support operational decisions.
## Support Content
Comix combines bi-weekly regular meetings with daily chat support to implement high-priority themes on-site.
1) Document Processing Automation
For approximately 1,800 documents generated monthly, generative AI image recognition is utilized to promote automation from reading to data conversion. The initial phase focuses on text extraction and structuring, with a future plan to expand to automatic document identification and sorting. The aim is to lighten the entire process, including subsequent steps, rather than merely digitizing paper-based operations.
2) Legacy System Migration Support
The client company's system personnel have begun migrating existing business systems using AI development support tools. Comix provides support for environment setup, process design, and hands-on training tailored to practical work, fostering a system that can achieve a certain level of migration results in a short period. Compared to traditional migration projects, the speed of initial action and the ability to secure trial attempts are significant changes.
3) Establishment of an Immediate Internal Knowledge Reference Environment
An interactive reference environment for internal use has been established to allow immediate access to frequently inquired information such as employment rules and internal regulations. This aims to reduce repeated inquiries to staff and enable employees to independently access necessary information, thereby reducing stagnation caused by waiting for confirmations.
4) Overall Administrative Task Automation Design
The process of "searching," "writing," and "sending" performed by administrative staff at three locations is broken down and supported by organizing it into short-term and mid-to-long-term measures. In the short term, routine tasks such as transcribing medical fee receipt information are streamlined. In the mid-to-long term, a system for understanding inquiry content and drafting response proposals is being developed. A key feature of this initiative is that it goes beyond one-off automation to redesign daily operations.

## Features and Strengths
The strength of this initiative lies in its focus on practical work processes where issues often arise, prioritizing them rather than merely introducing new tools. By starting with high-volume tasks like document processing, it becomes easier to verify effects and gain internal consensus. Furthermore, administrative task automation, system migration, and knowledge utilization are not treated separately but bundled as a single operational improvement theme, preventing partial optimization.
In addition, Comix accompanies clients not only with technology introduction but also with ongoing operation to ensure that on-site staff continue to use it. Generative AI, if only experimented with, will not become established; results will not be achieved without careful selection of target tasks, confirmation flows, and clear definition of responsibilities. In this case, even before implementation itself, progress was made by clarifying where to start and where human final judgment should be retained.
## Client Company Comment
The representative of the client company commented on this initiative as follows:
"In the home-visit nursing field, while we want to focus on patient care, the reality is that a lot of time is spent on administrative tasks. As we advance the utilization of generative AI, we feel a tangible sense of not just efficiency, but of being able to review the very way we operate."
