What It Is

株式会社デンタルハート’s “カルテット” is an electronic medical record and レセコン system for dental clinics in Japan. It covers local Japanese medical billing workflows such as treatment records, point calculation, electronic レセプト, public-expense handling, and online eligibility verification. Rather than a general-purpose SaaS product, it is closer to industry-specific software with local installation plus annual/monthly maintenance fees.

Core Features and Deployment

The system supports detailed functions such as electronic レセプト creation, returned-claim handling, prefecture-specific public-expense registration, combined/separate レセプト, automatic reimbursement CSV, tax-rate settings, comment sets/article navigation, and oxygen price settings. Deployment options include Windowsスタンドアローン and LAN versions, with the LAN version separated into server and client components. PDA, iPad, iPod touch, and browser connections use a hybrid-cloud model: clinical data is stored on the clinic’s internal PC, while the program communicates over the internet. A Mac version is not currently sold, and Windows Home is also outside the supported scope.

Pricing and Integrations

The standard software usage fee is 15,000 yen/month, excluding tax, under an annual contract. It includes program upgrades, point-system revisions, and support by phone, FAX, and email. Initial setup fees start from 12,000 yen and may rise to 50,000 or 150,000 yen depending on customization. Each LAN client costs an additional 3,000 yen/month. Integrations include FileMaker, appointment software data export, ADR, 歯撮くん, DentalX, Dent Net, Dental Acces, and online eligibility verification, usually requiring an additional initial fee.

Pros, Cons, and Who It Suits

Its strengths are deep adaptation to Japan’s dental insurance, public-expense, and レセプト rules; relatively rich FAQs and manuals; and legal/regulatory update support included in the monthly fee. The vendor also emphasizes that the system can be used continuously over the long term. Downsides include many separate cost items, while hardware and online eligibility verification devices/network engineering are not handled by the vendor. Disclosure around permissions, auditing, compliance certifications, and other modern SaaS security topics is also limited. It is best suited to small and midsize dental clinics in Japan, especially organizations that value cost control and long-term maintenance.

Access from China and Alternatives

Website accessibility from China is unknown, and payment methods are not disclosed. Because the product is deeply tied to Japan’s medical insurance, online eligibility verification, and public-expense systems, it offers limited practical value for dental organizations in China. Chinese users should instead prioritize local dental clinic management systems, electronic medical record software, medical insurance interface support, and imaging integration solutions.
