Japan is undergoing comprehensive healthcare reform including modification of medical institutes and medical circles. To success this healthcare reform we require innovative policies and newly-developed medical network based on information technology (IT) and information-communication technology (ICT). The government of Japan and local governments should rapidly enact vision for newly medical network and all medical staffs should also promote the vision to ensure that patients are very well at any time. As a result, we expect to create the new society with great potential for providing speedy patient access to the best medicines and the best pharmaceuticals to ensure that patients are in good health.
