| 研究実績の概要 |
A draft of the EMR-related incident management system has been developed. It includes not only a common format for EMR-related incident reporting, but also includes how to make analysis of incidents; corresponding to the analysis results, what kind of measures could be taken and how; and how to make evaluations after taking measures. The draft of the developed EMR-related incident management system has been discussed with the healthcare management personnel in several hospitals. Improvements were suggested and most of the points have been revised but not all finished.
A new study unincluded in the original project was also planned last year. The objective of this new study is to investigate whether EMR system really has positive effects on safety, productivity and healthcare quality. A literature survey was conducted and research design was all prepared. However, as the information about the EMR system implementation period of all the Japanese public hospitals is needed, such information is not open to the public. Although efforts were also made to inquire the relevant government ministry, it was not provided even for research. Therefore, the new planned study could not continue anymore and was terminated.

理由
The progress of the project was delayed because of the COVID-19 in the last three years. However, the progress becomes better and better. Due to the COVID-19, many plans had to cancelled or changed, e.g., the observation experiment was cancelled considering the risks; the questionnaire survey to healthcare staff was conducted although the scale was much smaller than the original plan. Still, based on all the findings as well as learning from EMR advanced countries’ experience, an EMR-related incident management system was developed although it was still a draft. However, because of the big delay in the last three years and more improvements were suggested for the draft system than expected, the plan of implementing the EMR-related incident management system and validating its effectiveness was not met.
Another reason for the delay in last year was because of the new planned study of investigating whether EMR system really has positive effects on safety, productivity and healthcare quality. A lot of time and efforts were spent on the literature review, research design and data collection. However, because the government does not provide the information that we thought it was open to the public, the study was terminated. Therefore, the extension of this project for another year was applied and approved.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
First, the draft of the developed EMR-related incident management system will be improved continuously. Then, according to the plan, this system will be implemented and validated its effectiveness. The developed system will be implemented after adaptation to the current hospital systems. Effectiveness of the system will be verified after implementation, using indicators such as change of EMR-related incident reporting rate, appropriateness of the proposed measures, and healthcare staff and risk managers’ satisfaction. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative effectiveness measurement, usability of the system is also planned to be investigated. Interviews or the System Usability Scale (SUS) could be used to patient safety managers and healthcare providers as the users. This is very important as although the system is effective, if the usability is poor, then the system will not be used in the future as many existing systems. Based on the results and suggestions, improvement of the system’s usability and utility will be conducted.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
There are several reasons for the budget usage in the next year. Firstly, computer-related consumables such as paper and toners of printer are needed. Accordingly, costs for these expendables are included in the budget.
Secondly, as implementation of the system will be conducted in several hospitals, to those who cooperated in such implementation, remunerations are needed for their contributions.
Thirdly, two graduate students are required assisting in data collection, data analysis and preparation of reports. Thus, costs are needed for RA remunerations.
Fourthly, to disseminate the results to the society and to gain experience and advice from international researchers, attending international conferences and making research discussions with foreign scholars are crucial. Therefore, registration and travelling fees of the international conferences are included in the budget plan.
