[Special Discussion] Nihon Keiei to Host Seminar: 'Iizuka Hospital: Beyond Efficiency—Organizational Theory Supporting Thoughts and Job Satisfaction in Nursing'

Nihon Keiei will hold a free Web seminar on May 26 (Tue) and 27 (Wed), 2026, titled: 'Iizuka Hospital: Beyond Efficiency—Organizational Theory Supporting Thoughts and Job Satisfaction in Nursing – Special Discussion: Cultivating 'Drivers' Who Move Organizations and Passing the Baton of Change to the Next Generation.'

For this seminar, we will welcome Yuka Moriyama, Deputy Director and Head of the Nursing Department at Iizuka Hospital, known for its 'Cell Nursing Method®,' as a guest to engage in a special discussion with Kaoruko Tonoike, Assistant Manager of the Business Process Improvement Consulting Department at Nihon Keiei.

The discussion will focus on the 'thoughts' and 'job satisfaction' in nursing environments, topics that go beyond simple efficiency and cost reduction. We will delve into the organizational culture and human resource development necessary to drive reform. By sharing the trials and errors of those who have actually led change on the front lines and discussing the essence of leadership that supports such changes, we aim to provide practical learning for those facing reform challenges in medical settings nationwide.

Background of the Seminar Medical settings are currently facing numerous challenges, including staff shortages, increasing workloads, and the need to respond to work-style reforms. In this context, building an organization where employees can work with peace of mind and management that supports the thoughts of every frontline worker is becoming more important than ever.

At Iizuka Hospital, the 'Cell Nursing Method®' has been promoted to create an environment where nurses can focus on bedside care. During its implementation and adoption, many frontline drivers have engaged in constant trial and error, practicing reforms that involved the entire organization.

In this seminar, based on these practical experiences, we will focus on 'Why' reform is pushed forward and 'Who' moves the organization, discussing organizational and human resource theories that support such change.
