DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diagnostic support system for a hospital for displaying the transition of a treatment and the transition of a test result in an easy-to-understand manner to assist in judging a treatment effect and executing a treatment plan.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A comprehensive medical system (medical ordering system) has been developed for comprehensive management of operations in hospitals and the like. In this system, terminals are placed at reception desks, examination rooms, examination rooms, administrative departments, pharmacy departments, various examination rooms, nurse stations, ward medical offices, etc., and LAN
(Local Area Network) Connected to the host machine through the (local area network) to exchange data with the host machine, perform various arithmetic processes, and perform various managements. From outpatient reception, medical treatment, hospital treatment, and examination Various data of individual patients and various data of hospital operations up to and so on can be stored in a database, and the data can be extracted and referred to, and accounting can be performed.

[0003] In this system, information on the results of past examinations of inpatients or outpatients and information on injections and medications are stored in a database.

[0004] Therefore, using the information held in the database by the medical integrated system, the transition of the patient's test results so far is graphed, and the progress of medical treatment such as medication is displayed by sharing the time axis. To display
It is effective in assisting physicians in diagnosing work and confirming medical conditions or therapeutic effects, and is highly useful.

[0005] Therefore, in the conventional system, in the patient status display mode, when several items such as a patient name, an ID number, and a date of birth are input, the age, weight, constitution,
Inspection items and the like are displayed, and a function is provided in which, when an inspection item to be displayed is designated, the history of the inspection item up to the present is graphed and displayed.

[0006]

As described above, in the medical comprehensive system, information on the results of past examinations of inpatients or outpatients and information on medicines injected and administered are stored in a database.

[0007] Therefore, using the information held in the database by the medical comprehensive system, the transition of the patient's test results so far is graphed, and the progress of medical treatment (treatment) such as treatment or medication is shown in time. Sharing the axis and displaying it on the display is effective in assisting a doctor in diagnosing work, confirming a medical condition or a therapeutic effect, and is highly useful.

For this reason, in the conventional system, in the patient status display mode, when some items such as a patient name, an ID number, and a date of birth are input, the age, weight, constitution,
Inspection items and the like are displayed, and a function is provided in which, when an inspection item to be displayed is designated, the history of the inspection item up to the present is graphed and displayed.

[0009] The display of the treatment execution time for each treatment item and the like are also displayed in a graph by matching the above-mentioned graph with the time axis.

The visualization of such data by this function may assist in determining the name of the disease, but the name of the disease is known, but what kind of treatment policy is desirable according to the patient's constitution is desirable. It may be useful to establish such a treatment plan. However, in order to construct a screen that is easy for the physician to judge to understand, displaying all the test results performed is not only difficult due to the size of the display, but also complicated,
Rather, it becomes a negative factor that makes it difficult to see.

Therefore, in the conventional system, the operator selects an important one or an attention one among the results obtained by performing the inspection and displays the result in a graph. It is necessary to select an item to be displayed together with the graph from among the treatment items (medication and injection) described above, and to set such that the treatment time is displayed together with the graph with the time axis coincident.

[0012] Further, items related to the graph display, for example,
The graph origin, the display scale, the display period from when to when the display is to be performed, and the display method such as displaying in logarithmic coordinates or normal coordinates must also be set.

[0013] Performing such selection and setting operations every time a graph is displayed imposes a heavy burden on the doctor or nurse who is the operator, and does not meet the original purpose of assisting diagnosis.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to
Setting and selection operations are reduced and anyone can use it easily.
An object of the present invention is to provide a hospital diagnosis support device that can effectively assist diagnosis.

[0015]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, a database holding the history of diagnosis information, treatment contents and examination information for each patient, and display setting information for displaying the information, and a process for extracting various kinds of information of a specific patient from the database and displaying the extracted information. Means, and display means for displaying various information extracted by the processing means, wherein the database comprises display setting information for each doctor in charge.
And the processing means displays at least a part of the various information based on the display setting information stored in the database, and displays the information in the database.
If the setting information is not stored,
Display setting conditions that can be set based on the display conditions
Various information is displayed according to the
If there is information on the disease, use the specific display settings defined for each disease.
Various types of information are displayed based on the information .

Further, the database contains information about the patient.
It maintains a history of all types of information and has patient-specific display settings.
If the processing means does not
Is displayed .

[0017]

In the above configuration, the database holds the history of diagnosis information, treatment contents and examination information for each patient, and setting condition information for displaying these information, and the processing means sends the database information to the database. Te, storage of and enter diagnostic information for each patient, the therapeutic regimen and examination information
Or read them out according to the setting condition information.
It can be subjected to the display Te. The processing means retrieves various information of the patient held in the database and displays it on the display means so that the patient's treatment status can be listed. And these changes from inspection information, based on the setting condition information for display, for example,
By displaying the graph, consideration of the treatment effect and support of the treatment plan are performed. Also, display setting information is stored in the database.
Display is set for each test if is not held
Conditions and display setting conditions that can be set based on the main disease.
Display various information, and information on the main disease related to the patient
If there is, based on the specific display settings determined for each disease
Various information can be displayed. Therefore, the diagnosis
What is the disease in situations where it is not certain?
A table that can be set for each test for the time being because it is not known
The indication is made under the indicated conditions, and if the diagnosis is made and the main disease is determined,
Such as displaying information using the display settings specific to the disease
Support according to floor can be performed.

Specifically, in a database as a comprehensive medical system, (1) "information on each disease (disease name, etc.)" (2) "information on each test item (test item name, normal range of test result, etc.)" (3) “Information on operators (information on hospital staff including doctors)” is held in advance, and (4) “Information on patients” is accumulated when the system is operated.

Here, the inspection to be displayed as a graph is
For example, such as measurement of the amount of a specific component in blood as in a GOT test. Therefore, information relating to the initial setting of the graph screen configuration method is individually given to the “information about each inspection item” in the above (2), and the information is used as a display setting condition to perform display in accordance with this condition. . The “information on each inspection item” includes the scale of the vertical axis (the value of the origin position of the display and the maximum value), how to set the scale, (logarithmic display, normal display), the range of the normal value of the inspection result, and the like. .

Since these settings are only initial settings (default settings), they can be changed when actually used. Then, if the operator (doctor or the like) changes to configure a graph screen for some processing contents and examination items for a patient, and provides information display under the new setting conditions, At this time, the combination of the displayed test item and treatment item and the details of each display method are stored in a database, and separately stored for each patient as a part of the above-mentioned (4) “Information about the patient”. When displaying the same patient, a graph screen having the same contents as the previous time can be automatically configured as an initial setting. When the display is changed, the changed new setting content is registered instead.

However, in this case, when displaying a new patient, it is necessary to configure the screen every time.

Therefore, when the name of the main disease of the patient is already registered in the database and the graph of the patient is displayed first, the display setting contents are changed to the name of the main disease together with the above processing. And stored separately in the database. This information is used as the initial setting when displaying graphs for new patients with the same main disease, and even for patients who have no previous display history, automatic graph screen configuration as initial settings Becomes possible.
This information is stored separately for each operator (doctor). This is to deal with the case where the index to be emphasized and the treatment content differ depending on the doctor.

According to the present invention, when displaying the medical data of a patient in a visual manner, most of the operations for setting details involved in the visualization can be omitted, and the operability is dramatically improved. It is possible to configure a medical system that can be fully used without any burden in a doctor's inspection work.

[0024]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In a comprehensive medical system (medical ordering system) to which the present invention is applied, the database stores information on past test results of hospitalized or outpatient patients and information on medicines injected and administered. Therefore, in the present invention, using this information, in order to support the diagnosis work by the doctor, the transition of the test results for a certain period and the medication period for a specific drug are simultaneously graphed, and a terminal such as a workstation or a personal computer is used. This is displayed on the screen of the device.

In this display, in the present invention, in order to reduce the burden on the operator (doctor), the contents of the setting conditions related to the graph display are retained for each patient, each physician, and each disease, and when the conditions are changed. Is to update and change the contents of the setting conditions so that an easy-to-read graph can be displayed with the latest setting contents without performing cumbersome setting operations in the next display operation for the target patient. Will be described.

It has a function to provide it as the latest setting information provided for creation.

The condition setting function unit 21b also has a history function of reading history information stored in the history storage function unit 21g retrospectively and reusing past settings. It is possible to save the trouble of once inputting and completely re-entering the used setting contents. This makes it possible to easily restore the original setting when the user does not like the setting, but rather prefers the setting tried earlier.

By providing such a function, the terminal device for the examination room and the ward (diagnosis support device for the hospital) 4,
5 is provided with a function as a hospital diagnosis support system with good operability.

Next, the operation of the present apparatus having such a configuration will be described. As described above, the terminal devices 4 and 5 for the examination room and the ward use a personal computer or a workstation, have a display device, and are connected to each other via the LAN. In order to process a large amount of data, there is a host machine that operates as a database, and searches and transfers necessary data, and stores and corrects data in response to a request from a terminal. Terminal devices include reception, consultation room, drug department,
It is located in various inspection rooms and performs necessary tasks. For example, when a patient performs reception, the reception terminal registers a new patient if it is a new patient, stores the new patient in a database, and notifies the terminal of the examination room of each medical department via the LAN that the patient has visited.

In the examination room, a doctor or a nurse operates the terminal devices 4 and 5 at the stage of examination of the patient, and instructs the database processing device 1 to extract data on the patient. As a result, the prescription history and the visit history of the patient so far stored in the database are read out and sent to the terminal devices 4 and 5, and the CPU 21 of the terminal devices 4 and 5 writes this in a predetermined form. Since it is displayed on the display unit 27,
While referring to this, the physician performs a medical examination, performs necessary tests,
The prescription is instructed through the terminal devices 4 and 5.

Thus, the instruction is transmitted to the terminal device of the corresponding facility, and the CPUs of the terminal devices 4 and 5 are transmitted.
Numeral 21 gives a command to the database processing apparatus 1 to store the information of the specified inspection and prescription in the database. Therefore, the database stores the information of the specified examination and prescription together with the date and time information as new information of the patient.

The accumulated contents are mainly used for accounting for individual patients and accounting for the entire hospital. The main components of the present invention are the terminal devices 4 and 5 and the database for the diagnostic room and the hospital ward.

Consider a case in which the terminal devices 4 and 5 are operated to display a graph of the test results of a doctor on a patient so far.

FIG. 4 is a display example of the terminal devices 4 and 5 for the examination room and the hospital ward, which are the subject of the present invention. This figure shows a state in which a test result, a treatment, and a medication history stored so far in a database for a specific patient are displayed.

In the patient status display mode, the patient name,
A screen for waiting for input of a minimum number of required items, such as an ID number and a date of birth, is displayed. When the contents of the required items are input in response to the request, information on the corresponding patient is read from the database. Then, the apparatus receives this information, and arranges the age, weight, constitution, examined items, etc. together with the patient name, ID number, date of birth, etc. from the information, and displays the information on the display screen in a list format.

When an examination item to be displayed is designated by a coordinate input device such as a mouse from the examination items arranged and displayed as a list, the CPU 21 examines the examination by the examination item of the patient up to the present obtained from the database. From the result information, the history up to the present for the inspection item (one or more) to be displayed is read out from the database and graphed based on the setting conditions stored in the setting condition storage unit 21e and displayed on the display unit 27. I do. In addition, the contents of medical treatment (treatment) such as medication and treatment are also displayed for some of the items based on the set conditions with the horizontal axis representing the date common.

If the setting condition specific to the doctor in charge is stored, it is used as the first step.

When a plurality of inspection items are simultaneously displayed as a graph, the horizontal axis representing the date is displayed in common.
This makes it possible to cope with medical treatment (treatment) such as medication and treatment and changes in the patient's condition.

In general, a large number of examinations, medications, and treatments are performed for one patient, and when displaying a graph, it is necessary to select which information is to be graphed. Also, in the figure, the period for three months is displayed on one screen,
In some cases, you may want to display a longer period of time, such as half a year or one year, and it is sufficient to display only the recent status, and rather understand the long-term status. It can be difficult.

Similarly, in the case of a graph, since the test result takes a very special value depending on the patient, the plot point may be out of the display area of the graph and become invisible. In such a case, the display settings need to be corrected.

Therefore, the condition setting function unit 2 is provided in the CPU 21.
The setting of the display can be changed by operating the keyboard or the mouse by the function of 1b. By changing the setting condition by this function, the function of the graph creation processing function unit 21a can be performed in real time. The display can be changed in conjunction with the graph. The changed setting conditions are stored in the condition setting function unit 21b and the history storage function unit 21g, and the database is updated so that the latest setting contents can be reused in the next display.

Also, there is a history function by the history storage function unit 21g, and the setting contents can be read back and used in the past. Therefore, the setting has been changed. This can be done with one touch in case of undo. In addition, if you want to temporarily change the display, such as simply for reference, you can also use a mode in which the temporary setting can be specified only by the terminal without updating the setting conditions in the database. .

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the information and the display setting of the information in the present invention. That is, (a) in FIG. 5 is information on disease names, information on disease names handled in each medical department, initial display settings for each disease (test items to be displayed, broken line display settings for each test result (scale settings), Treatment name and medication type to be displayed) are set.

(B) in FIG. 5 is information on the inspection item, and includes the inspection item name, the unit of the inspection result, the normal value range of the inspection result, the broken line display setting for each inspection item (the value of the display range, the normal value range, The display type (normal display, logarithmic display) and the like are set.

(C) in FIG. 5 is information on the operator, which is the initial display setting (test items to be displayed, broken line display setting of each test result, etc.)
(Displayed treatment, medication type) are set.

FIG. 5D shows patient information, which is basic information about the patient (for example, name, ID number,
Date of birth, age), visit history, medication and injection and treatment history,
Information such as a test history and its result value, a main disease name, initial setting information for each patient (test items to be displayed, broken line display setting of each test result, treatment to be displayed, and medication type) are set.

For each patient's data, the setting contents once displayed are stored in the condition setting function section 21 b of the CPU 21.
Held by the function of the history storage function unit 21g, and
By the operation of the search / processing function unit 21f of the CPU 21, the data is stored in the database storage device 2 as a part of the patient data in the database.

In the case of a patient who displays for the first time,
Although the previous setting does not exist, even in this case, if the main disease of the patient is known, the relevant test items and treatments are determined to some extent for each main disease, so the setting of the content according to that It is stored in the database together with the information of the disease name. Then, information on test items and types of treatment for the patient is acquired from the database as information on the disease, and the acquired information is displayed on the display unit.

Therefore, even in the case of the first consultation, what kind of examination is necessary and what kind of treatment is necessary can be listed, and the doctor can select the necessary one from among them and determine the guidelines for the examination and treatment. it can. Of course, if you select from these, or input other instructions,
It is registered as data on the patient in the database.

Further, since a list of drugs or the like prescribed for the disease is also stored in the database, the list can be displayed on the display unit in accordance with the disease and can be referred to.

FIGS. 6 to 8 are flowcharts showing a procedure for selecting a graph display setting by the medical integrated system employing the present invention. FIG. 6 is an overall view, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are partially enlarged views. (3) in the explanatory text shown in the figure,
Numbers such as (4) correspond to those in FIG.

When the graph display is started, it is checked whether the display is the first display for the patient (whether the display setting has not yet been registered in the patient data) (S1), and the display is the first display (registration). If not, it is checked whether or not the main disease name of the patient has already been entered (S2). Then, as a result, if the main disease name of the patient has already been entered, the current operator (doctor) is added to the disease name information.
It is checked whether or not there is a previous setting registration (S3).

As a result of the check in S 3, if there is a previous registration, the previously registered “(3) Information about operator”, which is a display initial setting for each disease for each doctor (operator) (FIG. 6C) (See S4). Then, the doctor refers to the graph, and if there is a problem, the doctor changes the display setting (S5).

Next, the display setting at the end of the display is set to both "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" and "(3) Information about the operator" (S6), and the display is terminated.

On the other hand, if the result of the check in S1 indicates that the display is not the first display (if the display setting is registered in the patient data), the flow shifts to S10, where "(4) each patient" Initial display according to the content of "Display initial setting". Then, the doctor refers to the graph, and if there is a problem, the doctor changes the display setting (S
11).

Next, the display setting at the end of the display is set to "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" (S12), and the display is terminated.

If it is determined in step S2 that the main disease of the patient has already been input, the process proceeds to step S7, where the operator selects a display item and incorporates it into the next "(2) Information on test items". The display setting is read out and used, and the graph is displayed under the set conditions (S
8). Then, the doctor refers to the graph, and if there is a problem, the doctor changes the display setting (S5).

Next, the display setting at the end of the display is set to both "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" and "(3) Information about the operator" (S6), and the display is terminated.

As a result of the check in S3, if there is no previous registration, "(1) Initial display setting for each disease" which is setting information for initial display for each disease which is previously incorporated in the system (FIG. 6) (See (c)) to perform initial display (S9). Then, the doctor refers to the graph, and if there is a problem, the doctor changes the display setting (S
5).

Next, the display setting at the end of the display is set to both "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" and "(3) Information about the operator" (S6), and the display is terminated.

The details of the present invention have been described above. In short, the present invention provides a graph for displaying the transition of the test results and the history of the treatment contents in order to display the change of the patient's condition in an easy-to-understand visual manner. You can register the setting conditions such as the appropriate scale according to the disease name and the test item, the priority display item according to the disease according to the doctor, the appropriate scale according to the patient, and the form of the graph, and change to these setting conditions In this case, the latest setting condition information is registered, and thereafter, display is performed under setting conditions based on the setting information.

That is, in the comprehensive medical system,
"Information on each disease (eg, disease name)", "Information on each test item (test item name, normal range of test results, etc.)", "Information on operator (information on hospital staff including doctors)" Once the information is retained and the system is operated, “information about the patient” can be further accumulated in the database.

Here, the inspection to be graph-displayed is:
For example, it is a measurement of the amount of a specific component in blood, such as a GOT test in a liver function test. Therefore, in the present invention, the information on the initial setting of the method of configuring the graph screen is individually provided in the “information on each inspection item”. This information includes:
The scale of the vertical axis (the value of the display origin position and the maximum value), how to set the scale, (logarithmic display, normal display), the range of the normal value of the inspection result, and the like are included.

Since these settings are only initial settings (default settings), they may need to be changed when actually using them. Therefore, the settings can be changed.

Next, it is assumed that a doctor configures and refers to a graph screen for some processing contents and examination items for a specific patient. The system stores the combination of the test item and the treatment item displayed at this time and the details of each display method, and separately stores the information as a part of the above-mentioned "information about the patient" for each patient.

Thus, when displaying the same patient next time, a graph screen having the same contents as the previous time can be automatically configured as an initial setting. When the display is changed, the changed new setting content is stored instead.

However, in this case, when displaying a new patient, it is necessary to configure the screen every time.

Therefore, when the main disease name of the patient has already been input to the system and the graph display of the patient is first performed, the display setting contents are changed to the main disease name together with the above processing. And stored separately. This information is used as the initial setting when displaying graphs for new patients with the same main disease, and even for patients who have no previous display history, automatic graph screen configuration as initial settings Becomes possible. This information is stored separately for each operator (doctor). This is to deal with the case where the index to be emphasized and the treatment content differ depending on the doctor.

As described above, according to the present invention, in order to support the diagnosis work by the doctor using the information of the database,
The transition of the test results and the treatment content such as the medication period for a specific drug are made into a graph with the correspondence of the time, and displayed on the screen.
The contents of setting conditions related to graph display are set for each patient, each doctor,
It is retained for each disease, and, furthermore, when the conditions are changed, the contents of the setting conditions are updated and changed, with the latest setting contents, in the next display operation on the target patient, without performing cumbersome setting operations, According to the present invention, most of the detailed setting operations involved in the visualization can be omitted in the visual display of the medical data of the patient, since the graph display can be easily viewed.
