Referral Management Solution for Hospitals Japan

Streamline hospital referrals across Japan with secure, bilingual workflows and real-time status tracking.

Referral Management Tailored for Japanese Hospitals

Japanese healthcare stands out for its commitment to quality and patient-centric care. Yet, coordinating referrals between primary clinics, acute-care hospitals, and specialist centers often relies on paper forms, fax machines, and fragmented phone calls. Cabot’s referral management solution replaces that manual maze with a unified, cloud-based platform that mirrors the workflow expectations of Japanese medical professionals.

The system lets referring physicians create bilingual electronic referral orders in seconds, attach diagnostic images, and automatically route them to the appropriate department. Receiving hospitals gain real-time visibility into incoming cases, current bed capacity, and expected transfer dates. Advanced rules handle nuances such as DPC codes, insurance categories, and consent documentation, ensuring every referral is accurate and compliant.

Because the solution sits on a secure, HL7- and FHIR-enabled backbone, it integrates seamlessly with existing HIS/EHR systems used across Japan. Automated notifications—delivered by email, LINE, or in-app alerts—keep clinicians, care coordinators, and patients informed at every step. Analytics dashboards provide administrators with referral volumes, turnaround times, and bottleneck reports in easy-to-read Japanese or English.

The end result: higher referral acceptance rates, reduced administrative workload, and faster access to specialty care for patients nationwide.
