Responding to the FY2026 Medical Fee Revision! “Smart Visitation” Management System Supports Healthcare Institutions in Easing Visitation and Improving Operational Efficiency – National Social Business Operator Database

News Highlights

In anticipation of the FY2026 medical fee revision, the visitation management system “Smart Visitation” has been launched to support healthcare institutions in easing visitation and improving operational efficiency. This system can contribute to medium- to long-term management and succession strategies for the medical fee revision, including maintaining facility standards, dispersing the burden of capital investment, and utilizing tax benefits by transitioning to specific medical corporations or social medical corporations, while responding to infection control measures and the needs of patients and their families.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

“Smart Visitation,” launched under the guise of responding to the FY2026 medical fee revision, offers significant insights not just for system implementation but also for healthcare institutions’ management strategies, particularly with business succession in mind. Easing visitation and improving operational efficiency directly impact revenue structures in today’s environment where infection control measures are established, by both enhancing patient satisfaction and controlling labor costs. In particular, the economies of scale achieved through group affiliation can enable healthcare institutions to meet facility standards that are difficult to maintain independently and to disperse the burden of high capital investments. This can serve as a strong incentive for healthcare institutions facing a successor shortage to join a group through M&A. Furthermore, utilizing tax schemes with a view to transitioning to specific medical corporations or social medical corporations is essential for reducing tax burdens during business succession. Therefore, reviewing the management structure triggered by the introduction of such systems can increase the success rate of M&A and business succession.
