Open Call for Nursing DX Services! Announcement of the Editorial Committee for Medica Shuppan's 'Nursing DX Trends'

The Japan Male Nurses Association (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kosuke Tsubota; hereafter 'the Association') is participating in the editorial committee for the book 'Nursing DX Trends (provisional)' planned by Medica Shuppan. In conjunction, the Association announces the start of an open call for DX services and companies wishing to be featured in the book.

■ About the book
This book is a practical guidebook aimed primarily at nursing departments and nursing managers, supporting the introduction and operation of nursing DX services. Interest in nursing DX has been growing in recent years, as evidenced by the attention gathered by the annual 'Nursing DX Award' held by the Association at Tokyo Big Sight. Based on the strong need from the field to 'know which services are suitable for my facility,' the book will organize service information from a frontline perspective and provide practical content directly linked to introduction considerations.

■ Comment from Representative Director Kosuke Tsubota
'I don't know which DX to choose'—this is a phrase I have heard many times from nursing managers while giving over 50 lectures on nursing DX annually. Systems and visions mean nothing if they cannot be replicated in the field. This book will be a 'useful volume' that organizes information for decision-making from a frontline perspective. By holding an open call, I hope to deliver excellent, hidden services to the field that are not yet widely known.
