The strengths of Sakigake Rita

A one-of-a-kind EMR designed by a team that knows the realities of psychiatric care inside out.

Developed by a psychiatrist

Designed by a practicing psychiatrist based on their own clinical experience. Features such as multi-chart entry, reverse-engineered from the daily work of psychiatric wards, thoroughly improve the efficiency of physicians and allied health staff.

Designed by a hospital administrator

A hospital director participated in the design from a management perspective. Built-in mechanisms prevent revenue leakage, such as preventing missed insurance billing and making revenue visible. Management-indicator reports and dashboards support the sustainability of hospital operations.

The perspective of the psychiatric review board

Built on compliance with the Mental Health and Welfare Act, the system embeds the know-how to prepare statutory documents completely and without delay, including notification documents and ledger entries for behavioral restrictions and involuntary admission notifications.

/ 02Design Philosophy

Design Philosophy

Problems with today's EMRs

Bloat and high costs driven by on-premise assumptions and per-site customization.
Hollowed-out requirements definition due to a lack of standard specifications, and rising modification and update costs.
Missed opportunities to leverage advanced technologies such as AI due to delays in data standardization and cloud adoption.
Designs that remain mere extensions of accounting management, contributing little to productivity or profitability.

Sakigake Link's design philosophy

Higher productivity through standard data formats and AI assistance integrated into both frontline operations and data analysis.
Field-driven design by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, delivered as an easy-to-use standard package.
Strong data security on a cloud-based foundation, with continuous system evolution.
Contributing to higher profitability through management-support features and clinical-trial support / medical-data utilization functions.
/ 03Work Style Reform

Work-style reform: the "no-writing" experience

Leave the documentation to AI, and give clinicians' time back to patient care.

Challenge
Documentation burden and being tied to a PC bottleneck care, handovers, and rounds.
Approach
Auto-generating charts from conversation makes the very concept of "data entry" a thing of the past. Reference, enter, and approve entirely on a smartphone for frontline mobility.
Impact
Less time spent on documentation, more time for patients, and better handover quality.
Automated document creation
Inpatient care plan: auto-drafted
Nursing care plan: auto-generated
Conference materials: auto-generated
Committee and management materials: auto-generated
Academic conference materials: draft generation
Psychiatry-related documents (medical certificates, involuntary admission notifications, etc.)

/ 04Psychiatry-Specific

Psychiatry-specific features

A suite of purpose-built features that meet the real needs of psychiatric care.

Patient deposit management

Accurately records and manages deposits held for inpatients, centralizing transaction history and balances.

Multi-chart entry

For physicians and occupational therapists. Efficiently enter and manage multiple patients' charts on a single screen, processing up to 48 patients at once.

GAF rating sheet for the severe-case add-on

Includes built-in form generation, such as the GAF rating sheet, supporting the severe-case add-on for psychiatric long-term care ward admission fees (A312).

Psychiatric pharmacotherapy support

Automatic chlorpromazine- and diazepam-equivalent calculations with polypharmacy alerts. TDM support for lithium and other mood stabilizers. Data management support for clozapine induction and maintenance.

Workflows compliant with the Mental Health and Welfare Act

Guides the legal procedures for each admission type, including involuntary admission, voluntary admission, and emergency admission. Consenting-party verification, submission-deadline management, and admission-period renewal reminders.

Behavioral restriction management and recording support

Built-in mechanisms to reliably meet legal requirements for behavioral restrictions, including records of the start and end of seclusion and physical restraint and management of examination records by designated physicians.

/ 05Multi-Chart Input

Multi-chart entry (less charting effort)

The era of opening 48 patients' charts one by one is over.

Challenge
In long-term care wards and similar settings, a single physician may be responsible for more than 48 patients. With conventional charts, you must repeat open one chart, write, close, open the next 48 times, consuming enormous time on documentation.
Approach
Open multiple patients' charts simultaneously on a single screen and enter and confirm them all at once. Psychotherapy billing flags are handled simultaneously. The same mechanism is also applied to psychiatric occupational therapy (OT).
Impact
Dramatically less charting time, more time for care and patients, and prevention of missed billing.
/ 06 — Research & Education

Research / clinical trials & education (turning data into an asset)

Transforming clinical data from "stored" to "usable."

Challenge
Data is scattered and hard to leverage for research, education, and clinical trials.
Approach
Designed around standard data plus AI assistance for structuring, search, and secondary use, with external data integration and predictive analytics in view.
Impact
Faster launch of research and clinical trials, conversion into educational content, and reuse of cases.
/ 07 — Cost Optimization

Better management (AI-driven development x cost optimization)

From "high costs on the vendor's terms" to "return on the hospital's investment."

Challenge
Modification and maintenance costs balloon, and responses to regulatory revisions are slow.
Approach
Compress development and operating costs with AI development and return the savings to the front line. Respond quickly to policy changes and fee-schedule revisions.
Impact
Lower costs and reduced labor and outsourcing expenses for handling revisions.
