The AI-native EMR
that transforms psychiatric care.
A chart you don't write, giving clinical practice back its time and profitability.
A one-of-a-kind EMR designed by a team that knows the realities of psychiatric care inside out.
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.
Design Philosophy
Problems with today's EMRs
Sakigake Link's design philosophy
Work-style reform: the "no-writing" experience
Leave the documentation to AI, and give clinicians' time back to patient care.
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.
Multi-chart entry (less charting effort)
The era of opening 48 patients' charts one by one is over.
Research / clinical trials & education (turning data into an asset)
Transforming clinical data from "stored" to "usable."
Better management (AI-driven development x cost optimization)
From "high costs on the vendor's terms" to "return on the hospital's investment."
