Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital

What Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital does

Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital (東京都立広尾病院) is a public acute-care hospital located in the Ebisu area of Shibuya ward, Tokyo, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government through the Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital Organization (東京都立病院機構), a local independent administrative corporation established in October 2022 that manages 14 hospitals. The hospital functions as a core disaster base hospital, providing emergency medical services including cardiac emergency and burn emergency care, cerebrovascular disease treatment, island medical services, and disaster medical response through DMAT and medical rescue team deployment. It was the first Tokyo Metropolitan hospital to receive JMIP (Japan Medical Service Accreditation for International Patients) certification in March 2017, establishing it as a designated facility for international patient care with multilingual support.

The hospital's primary digital health product is the Healthcare Passport PHR (Personal Health Record) platform, introduced in the general medicine department in summer 2024 through a strategic partnership with TIS Inc. (TIS株式会社) and Towa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (東和薬品株式会社). This platform enables patients to record and share vital signs and symptoms with their physicians, visualizing patient-reported outcomes (described as 'invisible pain') to reduce unnecessary hospital visits and reportedly save doctors approximately one hour of consultation time per day. The three partners have stated intent to expand the system to additional departments and ultimately achieve regional medical cooperation across multiple healthcare facilities.

As a public medical institution, the hospital operates under Japan's national health insurance system and is funded through Tokyo Metropolitan Government appropriations and insurance reimbursements. Individual hospital revenue is not publicly disclosed. Its customer base consists of the general public in the Tokyo metropolitan area, with no commercial customer concentration. Marketing and community outreach are conducted through the parent organization's official website, social media channels (X/Twitter, YouTube, LINE), and the Tokyo Healthcare Supporter training program. The hospital serves simultaneously as a clinical care provider, a disaster response infrastructure asset, and a training center for other disaster base hospitals in the region.
