OREANDA-NEWS. December 22, 2011. Fujitsu Limited and Kakogawa City Hospital Organization today announced the creation of a new HR and payroll administration system using IPKNOWLEDGE, Fujitsu's internal data consolidation solution for public sector institutions. Kakogawa City Hospital Organization is a local independent administrative institution(1) formed through the merger of the former Kakogawa Municipal Hospital (a public hospital with 405 beds) and the former Shinko Kakogawa Hospital (a private hospital with 198 beds). The merger, through which the legal status of the merged entity was converted into an independent administrative institution, was designed to create an independently managed public hospital. IPKNOWLEDGE enabled the personnel data of the two hospitals to be consolidated within a time frame of six months to create a new HR and payroll administration system.

Kakogawa City Hospital Organization, which completed its conversion to become an independent administrative institution, was able to improve efficiencies in its HR and payroll administration by using IPKNOWLEDGE, thereby reducing the amount of time it spends on such tasks without disrupting the provision of medical care to local residents.

Fujitsu is leveraging the expertise it has accumulated with local governments and independent administrative institutions to provide consulting, system configuration, and operational support services to optimize ICT environments and make operations more efficient.
