Abstract
The Tokyo Dental College Ichikawa General Hospital will begin charging for in-patient and out-patient treatment through an online dental receipts computation system as of May, 2011. In order to consider how to utilize the computerized receipts system, several factors were considered, including how to overcome problems posed by the joint use of an electronic dental chart system that makes use of a standard dental master and a medical accounting system, as well as how computerized dental receipt data might be useful or influential in the medical and dental professions in the future, where digital medical receipt information is already rumored to be the next up-and-coming tool. This report introduces various problems and solutions that accompany the use of a digital dental receipt system in a hospital associated with a dental college, and aims to discuss the future of digital dental receipt information usage.
