FIXER Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Seiichi Matsuoka, hereinafter referred to as FIXER) has received a request from Yamanashi Prefecture to serve as a committee member for the 'Yamanashi Prefecture Nursing Staff Advanced Essential Worker Development Study Council' and will participate in the nursing human resource development project. As a DX advisor, the company will be involved in initiatives aimed at utilizing digital technology in the medical field and advancing nursing human resources.
■ What is an Advanced Essential Worker?
Essential workers are engaged in jobs indispensable for maintaining social life, particularly in healthcare, welfare, logistics, education, and infrastructure. However, they face the challenge of not receiving sufficient social recognition or economic compensation commensurate with their contributions.
In response to this issue, a newly proposed talent concept is the 'Advanced Essential Worker (hereinafter AEW)'. This is a new vision of specialized personnel who promote operational efficiency and improve service quality by utilizing digital technology, aiming to acquire higher compensation and social trust as highly specialized professionals.
■ Background of Participation
With the domestic population decline and the declining birthrate and aging population, the shortage of nursing personnel supporting the medical field is a serious social issue. The nursing profession, in particular, has a high turnover rate due to heavy physical and mental burdens, making the securing and retention of human resources an urgent issue.
In Yamanashi Prefecture as well, although electronic medical records have been introduced in many medical institutions, the utilization of advanced technologies such as AI has been limited, and operational improvements and efficiency gains through DX have not progressed sufficiently.
To break through this situation, Yamanashi Prefecture launched a project aimed at developing AEWs who will lead the improvement of nursing quality and operational processes. FIXER has cultivated technological capabilities in cloud and AI, as well as a track record of promoting DX in various industries. In order to contribute to this project, the company received a request from Yamanashi Prefecture and decided to participate.
■ Specific Initiatives
FIXER will dispatch two personnel as DX advisors.
Participation in the Study Council
FIXER will participate as a constituent member of this project. As experts in utilizing digital technology, they will contribute to organizing the ideal profile of AEWs required in the field and discussing the materialization of training methods and measures to improve treatment.
Dispatch as Advisors to Hospitals in the Prefecture
In parallel with the study council, they will be dispatched as advisors to two hospitals in Yamanashi Prefecture (expected until December 2026). They will analyze the status of ICT introduction and utilization in the field, comprehensively supporting everything from pilot operations—such as proposing operational efficiency measures using digital technology and providing technical support to AEW candidates—to effectiveness verification. The knowledge gained from this demonstration will be fed back to the study council and utilized to consider the development of AEWs.
■ Future Prospects
Through this project, FIXER will work closely with Yamanashi Prefecture to support the construction of a human resource development model that can lead operational improvements in the nursing field. Using this project as a successful case study, and based on the knowledge and know-how gained here, the company will contribute to the realization of a better society through the power of technology by linking it to the promotion of DX and work-style reform in the entire Japanese medical industry, as well as elevating the status of essential workers.
