Using IT in the Eye Clinic

Research requires searching the literature from around the world to gather a great deal of information.

From its early days I used a reference management application made on the Mac by students in California, and I came to appreciate how IT can make work more efficient (see “Atarashii Ganka” [Japanese Review of Clinical Ophthalmology], September 2013 issue)。


Recently I was impressed by an iPhone app that, for even a complicated Tokyo transfer, instantly shows transfer times, transfer points, and the best car position near the exit just by entering the start and end points; I can now walk around Tokyo with confidence.

In opening this eye clinic, I am using simple, easy-to-operate IT (Information Technology) to make our work more efficient, and I think every day about how to shift our time toward what really matters: accurate care with clear explanations, a warm welcome at reception, a comfortable workplace, and making good use of time.

I am truly grateful to everyone who has understood my intentions and is working on the specifics. Thank you, and I look forward to your continued support.
