OPERe, the operator of the patient communication DX system 'Poke-Sapo' (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuka Sawada), has announced the release of a new '10-Type Patient Explanation Video Pack.' This package is designed to comply with the relaxation of staffing standards (1.3x conversion) for medical clerical assistants, a new provision in the 2026 fiscal year medical fee revision. Background: The 2026 revision has updated facility standards for medical clerical assistant support to reduce physician burden and promote medical DX. Notably, in addition to the mandatory use of generative AI, hospitals can now count one medical clerical assistant as '1.3 persons' if they utilize 10 or more types of patient explanation videos. Solution: Based on operational expertise, 'Poke-Sapo' has developed this package to provide a turnkey solution. 1. Free provision of common videos: Generic videos such as anesthesia complications and contrast agent risks are provided within the basic fee. 2. Expert-led lineup: We propose the most efficient and audit-ready video structures. 3. System design for retention: We provide a LINE-based platform that allows staff to easily manage viewing history and generate monthly reports for audit trails. We are also hosting an emergency webinar on April 8, 2026, featuring experts to explain the new requirements.
