OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Limited announced the addition of Kaigo-no-mori Series services to its Fujitsu Intelligent Society Solution Oushin Sensei (translated as "Doctor House Call"), a senior care cloud providing comprehensive support for the home-based medical and nursing care of seniors. The new services, developed by Fujitsu Systems West Limited to support the work of nursing care providers, will be available in Japan starting today.

The Kaigo-no-mori Series is comprised of three services to meet the varying scale and needs of nursing care providers. 'Kaigo-no-mori SaaS' is a SaaS-based service for processing the administrative work of nursing care insurance. The 'Nursing Care Invoice Transmission Service' enables nursing care providers to send invoices to the National Health Insurance Organization over the Internet. 'Kaigo-no-mori Pro AS Type' supports the operational systems of home-based care providers. In addition, the 'Home Team Care SaaS' enables multiple in-home health and care service organizations to work together.

These services are designed to reduce the administrative workload of nursing care providers and improve the quality of work operations, thereby enabling them to provide even better care to seniors.

Today in Japan, the number of seniors requiring nursing care is increasing. On a daily basis, after providing nursing care services to seniors, nursing care providers have to spend a great deal of time on invoicing and administrative work. To enable them to focus more on their core business of providing nursing care, there is a need for services that reduce the burden of invoicing and administrative work while supporting efficient operations, and that are inexpensive enough for even small-scale nursing care providers to easily use.

In aiming to help create a society in which everyone plays a part in the support of seniors, Fujitsu began offering its Oushin Sensei senior care cloud as of January 23, 2013. Fujitsu is now augmenting its Oushin Sensei cloud offering with services that support caregiver administrative tasks, namely, Kaigo-no-mori SaaS, Nursing Care Invoice Transmission Service, and Kaigo-no-mori Pro AS Type services. The new services will be available in Japan as of today.

To help enable high-quality home-based medical and nursing care using ICT to support medical, nursing care, and regional senior care providers, Fujitsu will be phasing in the delivery of comprehensive cloud services to allow collaboration among service providers as well as hospitals.
