About
岩脇医院 (Iwawaki Clinic) is an otorhinolaryngology (ENT) specialist clinic located in Matoba-cho, Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It serves as an accessible specialized medical facility for local residents experiencing ear, nose, and throat symptoms. The clinic provides a parking lot, making it easy for patients who have difficulty using public transportation to visit. The clinic is closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays, and does not offer afternoon consultations on Saturdays, so it is advisable to check the schedule before visiting. As part of its medical DX initiatives, the clinic has implemented online identity verification using My Number cards, enabling coordination of medical information across multiple healthcare facilities to prevent duplicate medication prescriptions and verify drug interactions, thereby striving to provide safe medical care. The clinic also supports generic prescribing, issuing prescriptions using generic drug names, which helps reduce medical costs and ensures patient safety in situations where drug supply may be unstable. Electronic prescriptions are also available, and patients wishing to use this service can request it at the My Number card reception or at the reception desk. The clinic's commitment to balancing digitalization with quality improvement in community healthcare is a distinctive feature.
