SCUEL — Japan healthcare data

Japan healthcare data · Facilities and corporations

Every care setting in Japan, linked to the company that runs it

Hospitals, clinics, dental practices, pharmacies, long-term care and disability services — each as its own database, and all of them joined to the operating corporation above and, for hospitals, to the physicians working inside. Delivered as data you load into your own systems, not as a portal you log into.

SCUEL 施設・法人データベース

What makes it hard to build yourself

Japanese public registers publish each of these layers separately, under different identifiers, on different update cycles. Joining them is the work.

Layer 1
Medical group Which facilities are run by the same group, including groups that span hospitals, clinics and care homes. 医療グループ
Layer 2
Operating corporation Legal name, address, corporate number, mergers and closures — plus balance sheet and income statement for medical corporations, including revenue, profit and whether equity interests exist. 法人・貸借対照表・損益計算書
Layer 3
Facility Name, address, departments, contact details, director. Then the operational layers: beds by type, inpatients and length of stay, outpatients per day, home-care patients and visit counts, online consultations, and patients and physicians by department. 事業所・サービス/病床/患者数
Layer 4
Physician For hospitals, the individual physicians inside — their department, board certifications and specialty. Covered by the physician database. 医師データベース

The join is the product. Any one layer can be assembled from public sources with enough effort; keeping all four consistent through mergers, closures and renamings is what takes a standing team.

The databases

Each is available on its own. Most clients start with one care setting and add others as their target list widens.

Hospitals病院データベース

Clinical function, patients and physicians by department, surgical and diagnostic test volumes, specialist headcount, and medical revenue.

Clinics診療所データベース

The characteristics of community-based clinics: opening hours, the range of care they can provide, and their local role.

Dental practices歯科データベース

From general dentistry to specialist treatment, including each practice's focus and its treatment equipment.

Pharmacies薬局データベース

Prescription volumes, whether the pharmacy supports home care, and which specialist medicines it handles.

Long-term care介護データベース

Services offered, users and capacity, staffing, and the care-fee add-ons each provider claims.

Disability services障害福祉データベース

Service type, users and capacity, and staffing for disability support providers.

Municipal and otherその他データベース

Municipality-level context, such as which vaccinations are subsidised where, and regional healthcare plans.

Before you commit

You can start with a free sample, then run a paid trial scoped to one region or one sales territory before committing to national coverage. Depending on the region and the intended use, a non-disclosure agreement or a provisional contract may be required first. Overseas delivery terms are agreed in the contract — tell us the destination country and the intended use when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can supply before you spend anything.

Tell us who you are trying to reach

Describe the facilities or the region you care about. We will tell you which datasets answer it, what they cannot answer, and what a sample would look like.
