eWeLL Co., Ltd. (stock code: 5038, head office: Chuo-ku, Osaka; hereinafter referred to as eWeLL), which develops and provides the “iBow” series of DX support services for home medical care, offers the “iBow” and “iBow Receipt” electronic medical records exclusively for visiting nursing. We would like to inform you that all of our services are now fully compliant with the double revisions of the 2020 medical fee revision and the 2020 long-term care fee revision that take effect once every six years from June 1, 2024.
As a result, visiting nursing stations, which play an important role in home medical care, will be able to adapt to the new system for the 2025 problem without slowing down their operations, continue to provide services to home care patients, and receive appropriate remuneration. You can take it.

The revisions to medical fees and nursing care fees in FY2020 were generally positive in the field of visiting nursing. For this reason, in Japanese society where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, the importance of home medical care and home-visit nursing, which plays an important role in this, is increasing so that the elderly can receive appropriate medical care and nursing care in their familiar homes and live safely in the community. I can see that it is happening. The background to this is the diversification of medical needs due to the increase in the number of elderly people, and the spread of the integrated community care system promoted by the government.
■Achieve quick response
With the 2025 issue approaching, eWeLL will promptly revamp all systems including “iBow” and “iBow Receipt” to ensure that home-visit nursing operations can be carried out without any delay. We have made it fully compatible with the new compensation system.
This is because “iBow”, which was completely renewed in 2022, uses the latest technology to create a highly flexible system that can quickly respond to legal revisions and system coordination, and eWeLL’s accumulated expertise in visiting nursing support. This proves that we have a system in place that can quickly respond to industry needs. ■Providing new services in response to revisions
In line with this revision of nursing care fees, it will be mandatory from April 1, 2024 to strengthen efforts toward business continuity, strengthen infectious disease countermeasures, and promote prevention of elder abuse, and all employees will be required to use visiting nursing stations. Training will be required and will be deducted if not provided.
In order for visiting nursing stations to respond to this new system without delay, eWeLL is providing an e-learning service “iBow e-Campus Visiting Nursing Legal Training Edition” where you can take legal training from December 15, 2023. . A feature of this service is that visiting nurses can attend the course freely in their own free time, so that they do not have to cut down on visiting hours or reduce the number of visits due to training.
eWeLL will continue to support the efficient work by minimizing the work burden associated with the revision of home nursing station remuneration, and to further popularize and sustain visiting nursing services by responding to issues in the home medical field. We will continue to contribute to the realization of medical and nursing care services.
