Medical Information System

What Medical Information System does

Medical Information System Co., Ltd. (株式会社医療情報システム, Iryojoho System) is a privately held Japanese healthcare IT company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Osaka. It develops, sells, and supports the proprietary web-based electronic medical record (EMR) system 「ウェブカルテⅡ」 (Web Karte II), which is specifically designed for small-to-medium hospitals (approximately 60-160 beds) and explicitly excludes clinics with or without beds. The company positions itself as a 'best partner for medical institutions,' focusing on patient service improvement, clinical support, and management support for healthcare facilities.

The core product, Web Karte II, is a browser-based EMR that operates through Microsoft Edge IE mode without requiring dedicated client software installation. Its key technical characteristics include a license-free flat-package pricing model (same cost regardless of terminal count), server redundancy and backup configurations, multi-vendor departmental system integration (pharmacy, lab, RIS, PACS, rehabilitation, nutrition and dietary, dialysis, patient monitoring, nurse call, and self-service kiosks), integrated nursing support functions (NANDA-based nursing diagnosis, ADL classification, fall risk assessment, bed management, flow sheets), VPN-enabled remote access for visiting physicians, and support for electronic prescriptions and HL7 FHIR-based medical record information sharing. The company has also developed an in-house elderly/long-term care system integrated with Web Karte II for seamless medical and nursing care data exchange through its subsidiary ND Software.

The business model combines direct sales of the proprietary Web Karte II with value-added distribution of Fujitsu healthcare solutions (primarily the HOPE series medical accounting/receipt computer systems). The company holds top-partner status with Fujitsu for more than ten consecutive years and claims the No.1 market share in the Kinki/Kansai region. Revenue is generated through initial system sales, implementation services, ongoing maintenance and support contracts, and government-subsidized cloud migration projects. Customers are primarily small-to-medium hospitals across Japan, served through direct field sales, on-site system demonstrations by SE staff, and semi-annual medical information seminars in Osaka and Tokyo. As a private, founder-influenced company (transitioned to second-generation leadership in 2023), there is no public disclosure of revenue, investor base, or capital structure.
