Send instructions to get.

The instruction receiving unit 114 may receive an input for directly specifying a medical device set or an input for specifying it indirectly as a method of specifying a handled medical device set. For example, an input for specifying a work time may be accepted.
The instruction receiving unit 114 may also receive a list creation instruction that is input in advance by specifying a date and time. In this case, the instruction reception unit 114 instructs the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 to acquire a list of medical equipment included in the handling medical equipment set at a specified time according to an instruction received in advance by timer control. Hand over.

The handling instrument list acquisition unit 112 acquires a list of medical instruments included in the handling medical instrument set from the set instrument storage unit 108 and passes the list to the similar list creation unit 120.
When the user directly designates and inputs a medical equipment set for which a list is to be created, the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 sets the input medical equipment set as a handling medical equipment set.

  The handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 is not only a medical equipment set directly designated by the user, but also a medical equipment in which the picking work is expected to occur in a time zone in which the picking work of the designated medical equipment set is scheduled. It is good also as a handling medical equipment set including an equipment set.

  In this case, for example, the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 acquires order information including the specified medical equipment set from the order storage unit 22. Then, a difference between the scheduled end time of the medical practice related to the order information and the scheduled end time of the medical practice related to other order information is calculated, and the order of the medical practice within which the difference between the scheduled end times is within a predetermined time width is calculated. Information is acquired from the order storage unit 22. And the handling equipment list acquisition part 112 also makes the medical equipment set used by the medical action concerning the acquired order information a handling medical equipment set. Here, the predetermined time width is the deviation of the picking work start time that may occur due to delays in medical practice or reprocessing work. It is a time width that is considered that time may overlap. The predetermined time width may be configured to be set for each medical facility.

  The handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 also predicts that picking work will occur during the designated working time zone when the user inputs an instruction to designate the working time and create a list of handled medical equipment. The medical device set to be used may be a handling medical device set.

In this case, the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112, for example, the time before the average work time, which is the average required time from the end of the surgery to the start of the picking work, is a time that is traced back from the designated work time zone. The order information of the operation that ends in the band is acquired from the medical information management server 20. The handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 stores the order information of the operation that ends in a time zone that includes the above-described predetermined time width before and after the time zone that is the average previous work time before the specified work time zone. You may acquire from 20.
The handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 sets the medical equipment set used for the surgery included in the acquired order information as the handling medical equipment set.

  The handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 searches the medical equipment set identifier column 402 of the set medical equipment table 400 stored in the set equipment storage unit 108 shown in FIG. 2 based on the identifier of the designated handling medical equipment set. . Then, the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112 acquires a list of handling medical equipment included in the handling medical equipment set, and passes the list to the similar list creation unit 120 and the screen generation unit 132. Based on the acquired list, the screen generation unit 132 extracts information on the medical device from the medical device attribute table 300 stored in the device attribute storage unit 102, and presents a list of medical devices to be handled to the user. To generate data (hereinafter, also referred to as “handled medical equipment list screen”).

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a handled medical equipment list screen 700. On the handled medical equipment list screen 700, a list of medical equipment included in the set of medical equipment sets to be handled is displayed together with attributes such as images and dimensions of each medical equipment.
When there are a plurality of medical device sets to be handled, the screen generation unit 132 may create a medical treatment device list screen for each medical device set to be handled and display the medical device list screen.

Note that the screen generation unit 132 generates the data of the handled medical device list screen 700 so that the ratio of the size of each medical device image to be displayed reflects the actual size ratio read from the device attribute storage unit 102. May be.
Thereby, it is possible to present the user with a screen that allows an intuitive overview of the entire configuration of the medical device to be picked.

The screen generation unit 132 may generate the handled medical device list screen 700 by arranging images of a plurality of medical devices to be handled on the screen in the order of the dimensions of the medical devices.
For example, in the handling medical equipment list screen 700 of FIG. 6, the “ophthalmic scissors” displayed at the bottom is arranged between the “Pean song” and the “Pean minor song”, and the handling medical equipment list screen 700 is displayed. The screen may be generated by arranging the medical device having a large size at the position above.
Thereby, for example, when an operator picks a large medical device first, a screen for efficiently advancing the picking operation can be presented.

The user checks the medical equipment list screen, confirms the medical equipment to be picked, and when picking the medical equipment, registers that the medical equipment has been picked on the screen to register the medical equipment. Specify and enter. Hereinafter, in order to register that the user has already picked up, the medical equipment designated and input on the screen is also referred to as “designated medical equipment”.
For example, when the user picks “Pair direct” at the top of the list on the handled medical equipment list screen 700, the user selects and inputs “Pean direct” displayed on the handled medical equipment list screen 700. For example, it may be possible to select and input by pointing a button indicating the remaining number / required number of “Pean direct” with a mouse or a touch pen on the screen of FIG. The instruction receiving unit 114 receives a user's selection input, and transfers a similar list creation instruction to the similar list creation unit 120.

Returning to FIG.
The similar list creation unit 120 of the medical device preparation support apparatus 100 includes a similar device acquisition unit 122 and a similar device restriction unit 124.
The similar device acquisition unit 122 refers to the similar device storage unit 104, and among the medical devices similar to the designated medical device, the medical device included in the handled medical device (hereinafter also referred to as “similar handled medical device”). The medical device identifier is acquired and stored in the handling device storage unit 106.

  The similar equipment acquisition unit 122 may acquire an identifier of a similar handled medical device from the similar equipment storage unit 104 for each medical device included in the handled equipment list in advance and store the identifier in the handled device storage unit 106. In this case, when the user selects and inputs one of the handled medical devices, the similar device acquisition unit 122 refers to the handle device storage unit 106 and acquires the stored medical device identifier of the similar handled medical device. May be.

  Alternatively, when the user designates one of the handled medical devices on the handled medical device list screen 700, the similar device obtaining unit 122 refers to the similar device storage unit 104 to obtain the identifier of the similar handled medical device. Also good.

  In the case where there are a plurality of handling medical equipment sets, the similar equipment acquisition unit 122 is not included in the same set of similar medical equipment included in the same set of similar medical equipment and similar medical equipment included in the same set. The medical equipment identifier of the similar handling medical equipment is acquired by distinguishing from the out-of-set similar medical equipment included in the equipment.

For example, when the similar equipment acquisition unit 122 acquires the medical equipment identifier of the similar handling medical equipment for “Pean directly” included in the A set, the similar equipment acquisition section 122 firstly displays the similar medical equipment table 500 shown in FIG. In the similar medical equipment identifier field 504, the medical equipment identifier “PE0” of “Pair direct” is searched.
The medical device identifiers “PE1” and “PE2” belonging to the similar group of the similar medical device group identifier “aaa” and the similar medical device group identifier “ccc” as the identifiers of the medical devices similar to “Pean direct” The medical device identifiers “KO0” and “KE0” belonging to the similar group are acquired.
Here, “PE1”, “PE2”, “KO0”, and “KE0” are medical equipment identifiers of “Pean's small song”, “Pean's song”, “Kochel's direct”, and “Kelly's direct”, respectively.

The similar equipment acquisition unit 122 refers to the list of handled medical equipment acquired by the handling equipment list acquisition unit 112, and “Pair's small music” and “Pean's music” are included in the A set, “Kochel's direct” and “Kelly's direct” "" Is determined to be a medical device included in the B set.
Therefore, the similar equipment acquisition unit 122 determines that the in-set similar medical equipments of “Pair straight” of the A set are “Pean small music” and “Pean music” whose medical equipment identifiers are “PE1” and “PE2”, respectively. This is determined and described in the in-set similar medical equipment identifier column 610 of the handled medical equipment table 600. In addition, the similar equipment acquisition unit 122 determines that the similar medical equipment outside the set of “Pean direct” is “Kochel direct” and “Kelly direct” whose medical equipment identifiers are “KE0” and “KO0”, respectively. Are described in the non-set similar medical equipment identifier field 612.

  In the reprocessing operation, when it is not necessary to consider the out-of-set similar medical equipment, such as when the medical equipment is completely divided into sets, the similar equipment acquiring unit 122 sets the medical equipment of the in-set similar medical equipment. Only the identifier may be acquired.

  The similar device limiting unit 124 excludes the identifiers of already picked medical devices from the medical device identifiers of similar handling medical devices acquired by the similar device acquisition unit 122 and displays them on the similar device list screen. Create an equipment list. Specifically, the similar device limiting unit 124 first searches the medical device identifier column 604 of the handled medical device table 600 stored in the handled device storage unit 106 for a medical device identifier of the similar handled medical device. Then, with reference to the preparation status column 614 of the medical equipment identifier of the searched similar handling medical equipment, a display target similar medical equipment list is created except for the medical equipment whose preparation status is “completed”, and the screen The data is transferred to the generation unit 132.

For example, in the example of FIG. 5, “Koher directly” with medical equipment identifiers “KO0” and “KE0” as “Pair direct” similar medical equipment outside the set whose medical equipment identifier of A set is “PE0”. And “Kelly Nao” are described. Among these, the preparation status of “Kochel directly” whose medical equipment identifier is “KO0” is “completed”. Therefore, the similar equipment acquisition unit 122 removes “KO0” from the list of similar handling medical equipments related to “Pair direct” of the A set, and passes the display target similar medical equipment list to the screen generation unit 132.
Since a medical device that has already been picked and cannot be mistaken for another medical device is excluded from the target of attention display in advance, a simple screen that can be easily grasped by eliminating unnecessary information is presented to the user. be able to.

The screen generation unit 132 reads the attribute information of each display target similar medical device from the device attribute storage unit 102 based on the list of display target similar medical devices received from the similar list creation unit 120.
Then, the screen generation unit 132 includes an image of the designated medical device input by the user and the designation receiving unit 114 accepting the designation input, and a medical device that may be mistaken among medical devices similar to the designated medical device.
