Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Medical Statistics
  • Health Policy Analysis

Background:

  • Medical facility statistics are vital for health policy, administration, and research.
  • Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare generates key health statistics through national surveys.
  • Existing technical reports lack comprehensive English descriptions of survey methodologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the methodologies of Japan's primary health facility statistical surveys for an English-speaking audience.
  • To enhance the accessibility and understanding of Japanese healthcare statistics.
  • To provide insights into the data collection processes for policymakers and researchers.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed explanation of the Hospital Report, including Patient and Employee Questionnaires.
  • Description of the Survey of Medical Institutions, encompassing the Dynamic and Static Surveys.
  • Clarification of survey scope, data points collected, and submission frequencies.

Main Results:

  • The Hospital Report collects data on inpatients, admissions, discharges, outpatients, and employee numbers.
  • The Survey of Medical Institutions captures facility openings/closings, staff, services, and patient bed data.
  • The Static Survey is conducted triennially for all healthcare facilities.

Conclusions:

  • The described surveys are essential tools for collecting critical health information in Japan.
  • Understanding these methodologies facilitates better use and interpretation of Japanese health statistics.
  • These surveys also serve to inform healthcare facilities about evolving government policies.
