Dr.JOY Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Physician: Hiroaki Ishimatsu) is pleased to announce that Dr.JOY can now be accessed from electronic medical record (EMR) terminals in medical institutions that have implemented the healthcare cloud platform "MegaOak Cloud Gateway (hereinafter referred to as Cloud Gateway)" provided by NEC Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takayuki Morita).
Through Cloud Gateway, each function of Dr.JOY can be securely accessed from EMR terminals located in a closed network environment. For facilities where Cloud Gateway is already in operation, no additional hardware installation is required.
Background of the Collaboration
In many medical institutions, from the perspective of information security, the networks of hospital information systems, including EMRs, are operated in closed networks disconnected from the internet.
Therefore, to use cloud-type business support services, various connection methods have been taken according to the environment of each facility, such as preparing a separate terminal from the EMR terminal or using a virtual browser.
Under these circumstances, the adoption of NEC's "Cloud Gateway" is progressing in medical institutions nationwide, and by utilizing the Web integration function of Cloud Gateway, a new connection method option has been added. This method enables direct access to Dr.JOY from the browser of the EMR terminal through secure communication control at the network layer, providing a response and operation feel similar to regular Web services.
For facilities where Cloud Gateway is already installed, the feature of being able to start use without installing additional equipment keeps the hurdle for introduction low.
Comparison with Other Methods
Compared to installing separate terminals (cumbersome info sharing) or virtual browser methods (dependent on server resources), Cloud Gateway Web Integration offers a response equivalent to normal web browsing and easy information linkage with EMRs directly on the terminal.
Key Features of the Integration
1. Direct Access from EMR Terminals: Users can use Dr.JOY's attendance management (stamping, application, approval) on the same terminal while checking patient information in the EMR, realizing seamless work without switching terminals. It is compatible with both NEC and non-NEC EMRs.
2. Rapid Implementation: Facilities with Cloud Gateway only need network setting changes. No additional servers or VPN devices are required.
3. Security Compliant with 3 Ministries & 2 Guidelines: Cloud Gateway satisfies the security standards required for handling medical information by implementing communication path encryption and unauthorized access detection.
