In April 2006, Nanpuh Hospital began to be reimbursed using DPC/PDPS (diagnosis procedure combination/per diem payment system). Various kinds of data stored every day are precious resources to the hospital. We have examined the method of providing information which utilized these resources.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of providing data to clinical staff. We first visualized the data for treatment process, and as a result, in cases of an operation of a stomach malignant tumor without other illness (DPC code：060020xx01x0xx), average lengths of pre-operation hospital stay was shortened. Moreover, as a result of data visualization of operation room availability, the working ratio of operation rooms during the morning became higher. Notably, operation room availability in the 10：00 time frame was maintained at a satisfactory rate in all the days of the week. In all categories of evaluation check points, namely objective evaluation, specific discussion, patient satisfaction, personnel satisfaction and management, the results were satisfactory.
