Advanced treatment hospitals are required to establish a “system to ensure that the execution of the duties of the relevant administrator complies with laws and regulations” (Article 19-2, item iii of the Medical Care Act). Since 2018, a full-time in-house lawyer has been responsible for legal and compliance functions such as legal consultation within the hospital and for developing systems in accordance with revisions to laws and regulations. In order to further expand this function, the Legal and Compliance Office was established in April 2021 as an independent organization within the hospital. It provides legal support for proper and efficient hospital management by collaborating with the Legal Affairs Group of the General Affairs Department of The University of Tokyo and departments of the hospital.

The office is staffed by a Manager (Deputy Director in charge of compliance), Deputy Manager (in-house lawyer), and administrative staff.

1. Advising on how to comply with various laws and regulations to which the hospital is subject.
