=== Embodiment ===
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are given various technically preferable limitations for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

<1. System>
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the network system 1 includes a server 2, a plurality of terminals 3 (in this example, three terminals 3-1, a terminal 3-2, a terminal 3-3) and a communication network 4. The terminals 3-1 to 3-3 can communicate with the server 2 via the network 4. The terminals 3-1 to 3-3 are desktop, notebook, or tablet computer systems. The terminals 3-1 to 3-3 may be portable computer systems or stationary computer systems. The server 2 is a tower type, desktop type, rack mount type or blade type computer system. The network 4 is a dedicated line network stretched around the hospital, and is, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) using wired or wireless.

  This system 1 is a content (hereinafter referred to as work flow content) for expressing the flow of the medical equipment handling work in order to visually present the contents of the medical equipment handling work related to the handling of the medical equipment to the worker. It is a device that supports creation. That is, the editor can edit new or existing workflow content by operating the server 2 or the terminals 3-1 to 3-3 of the system 1 while logged in with his / her user ID and password. When updating workflow content, the updated workflow content file is not overwritten by the updated workflow content file, but the updated workflow content file is separate from the updated workflow content file. Will be saved as a new version. As a result, the version (version) of the workflow content is managed by the system 1. The management of the version of the workflow content will be described in detail later (see “4. Management program and its function”).

  The system 1 is a device that expresses the flow of medical equipment handling work based on the edited work flow content. In other words, the work flow content is used by operating the server 2 or the terminals 3-1 to 3-3 of the system 1 while the worker is logged in with his / her user ID and password. The file 115 (see FIG. 18) is opened), and the flow of the medical equipment handling work based on the work flow content is expressed. When the workflow content is used, a usage history (which version of the workflow content was used by whom and when) is recorded and accumulated. The use history recording / accumulation will be described in detail later (see “4. Management Program and Functions”).

<2. Medical equipment handling work and screen transition>
First, a medical device handling operation and a method of using the system 1 at that time will be described below.
Medical equipment handling work is work performed for surgery using medical equipment. Medical equipment includes, for example, endoscopes, ultrasound probes, forceps, scissors blades, scalpels, scalpel holders, cannulas, levers, retractors, scales, sondes, eleva, raspa, suction tubes, thoracotomy devices, chest closures, Needle holder, syringe, metal ball, pus basin, cup, pin, mirror, file, opener, clamp, handpiece, elepatrume, chisel, sharp knife, exfoliator, mirror, suture needle, stanze, water receiver , Needle, indenter, bougie, vent tube, bone fragment driving rod, rewell, radio pliers, hammer, angle meter, punch, syringe, metal swab, enema, syringe, etc. A combination of a plurality of devices (for example, a surgical set including a plurality of forceps, a scalpel, and a scissors) is also included in the medical device.

  FIG. 2 is a chart showing a work cycle in which medical equipment is handled. As shown in FIG. 2, the medical equipment handling work includes, for example, a collection work S2, a cleaning work S3, an assembly work S4, a sterilization work S5, and a storage work S6. In any work S2 to S6, the medical equipment is handled.

Specifically, when a doctor uses medical equipment in the operation S1, the medical equipment is collected after the operation S1 (collection operation S2). Thereafter, the collected medical device is disassembled and then cleaned by a cleaning device (cleaning operation S3). Thereafter, the cleaned medical device is assembled (assembly operation S4). Thereafter, the assembled medical device is sterilized (sterilization operation S5). Thereafter, the sterilized medical device is stored for surgery (storage operation S6). The stored medical equipment is used again for the operation S1.
The system 1 is used in medical equipment handling operations such as a recovery operation S2, a cleaning operation S3, an assembly operation S4, a sterilization operation S5, and a storage operation S6.

  Although details will be described later, when the editor operates the terminals 3-1 to 3-3 of the system 1 or the server 2, the workflow content is edited, and the edited workflow content is stored in the storage device of the server 2. To be recorded. The work flow content recorded in the storage device of the server 2 is also synchronized (recorded) in the storage devices of the terminals 3-1 to 3-3. Thereafter, when the operator operates the terminal 3-1 when performing the medical equipment handling work, the flow and contents of the medical equipment handling work are presented to the terminal 3-1, so that the worker can use the terminal 3-1. The medical device handling work can be carried out while checking the work content by looking at the above. Here, the medical equipment handling operation is composed of one or more uppermost processes, each upper process is composed of one or more main processes in the middle and upper levels, and each main process is composed of one or more subordinate processes in the lowest order. It consists of steps. In other words, the main process is a detailed work process required to complete the work of the upper process using the main process as a component, and the detailed work of the main process is obtained by finely dividing the work of the upper process. The sub-process refers to a detailed work process required to complete the main process work including the sub-process as a constituent element, and the sub-process detailed work is obtained by finely dividing the main process work.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the flow and contents of the medical equipment handling operation displayed on the terminal 3-1 will be described. Here, FIG. 3 shows the transition of the screen displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1 according to the work flow content (specifically, any one of the files 115 described later (see FIG. 18)).

When the operator is to execute a predetermined upper process during the medical equipment handling operation, by operating the terminal 3-1 while viewing the process selection screen (option list screen) displayed on the terminal 3-1, A predetermined option (the predetermined option corresponds to a predetermined upper process) is selected from a plurality of options (the option and the upper process correspond one-to-one). Here, as the display mode of the options, for example, a widget (an image designated by image designation data of upper process data 45 described later is displayed on the widget), an icon (image designation data of upper process data 45 described later). The thumbnail of the image specified in), button, radio check, etc.
Thereafter, the operator operates the terminal 3-1 (for example, flick operation, swipe operation, tap operation, multi-tap operation, scroll operation, or drag operation) as the work progresses in a predetermined upper process. The display content of one display device changes in the order of screen A, screen B, screen C, and screen D. Each of the screens A to D is a screen related to each main process constituting a predetermined upper process during the medical equipment handling operation, and more specifically, the work content in each main process and the state of the medical equipment by the work Is displayed. In addition, information (for example, the work name of the upper process and the outline of the work content of the upper process) for specifying the upper process constituted by the processes related to the screens A to D is displayed on the screens A to D. Note that the number of main processes constituting a predetermined upper process during the medical device handling operation is not limited to four, and the number of screens related to the main process is equal to the number of main processes.

  Further, when the operator operates the terminal 3-1 while the screen B is displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1, the display content of the display device of the terminal 3-1 changes from the screen B to the screen B1. Further, when the operator operates the terminal 3-1, the display content of the display device of the terminal 3-1 transits from the screen B1 to the screen B2, transitions from the screen B2 to the screen B1, or from the screen B1 to the screen B. Or transition to. Screens B1 and B2 are screens related to each sub-process (detailed process) constituting the main process related to screen B. More specifically, the work contents in each sub-process and the state of medical equipment by the work are displayed. To display.

  Similarly, when the screen D is displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1, there are transitions from the screen D to the screen D1 and from the screen D1 to the screen D2 by the operation of the terminal 3-1. The screens D1 and D2 are screens related to the sub-processes constituting the main process related to the screen D, and more specifically, display the work contents in each sub-process and the state of the medical equipment by the work. Note that the number of sub-processes constituting the main process related to the screens B and D is not limited to two, and the number of screens related to the sub-process is equal to the number of sub-processes.

  The main process is classified into a normal work process, a quality important work process, and a count work process. Screens A to D can identify the classification of each main process. For example, the process classification display unit 16 is displayed on the periphery of the screens A to D, and the color of the process classification display unit 16 indicates the classification of the main process. For example, since the main process related to the screen A is a normal work process, the process classification display unit 16 of the screen A is drawn in blue, and the main process related to the screens B and D is a quality important work process. The process classification display unit 16 of C is drawn in red, and the main process related to the screen C is the counting work process, so the process classification display unit 16 of the screen C is drawn in red. On the other hand, the type of the sub-process is only the normal work process, but the color of the process classification display unit 16 in the case of the sub-process (for example, green) and the color of the process classification display unit 16 in the case where the main process is the normal work process. (For example, blue) makes it possible to visually identify whether the displayed screen relates to the main process or the sub-process.

  The equipment display unit 11 and the work content display unit 12 are displayed on any of the screens A to D, B1, B2, D1, and D2. The work content display unit 12 displays the work content of the process as text. On the instrument display unit 11, the state of the medical instrument by the work of the process is displayed as an image.

  On the screens A to D, an order display unit 13 representing the page number or the main process order is displayed. The page number represents the display order of the screens A to D in ascending order with the screen A as a reference. The main process order represents the order of the main processes of the screens A to D in ascending order with the main process related to the screen A as a reference. The number of pages and the main process order may be represented by numbers (text), or may be represented by symbols, marks, patterns, indicators, or the like.

  On the screen B, a sign display unit 14 representing a sign is displayed. The sign displayed on the sign display unit 14 (for example, the text “details” or “CHECK”) indicates that the main process related to the screen B has a sub-process. Since the main process related to the screen C has a sub-process, the indicator display unit 14 is also displayed on the screen D. Since the main process related to the screens A and C has no sub-process, no sign display part is displayed on the screens A and C.

  On the screens B1, B2, D1, and D2, an order display unit 15 representing the sub-process order is displayed. The sub process order represents the order of the sub processes constituting the main process in ascending order. The sub-process order may be represented by a number (text), or may be represented by a symbol, a mark, a pattern, an indicator, or the like.

  When the screen A is displayed, the worker can confirm the work content of the process by visually checking the work content display unit 12 on the screen A. Further, by visually recognizing the instrument display unit 11 on the screen A, it is possible to compare the actual medical instrument being handled with the medical instrument image of the instrument display unit 11, thereby accurately progressing the work of the process. It can be confirmed whether or not. That is, if the state of the actual medical device being handled is comparable to the medical device image of the device display unit 11, it can be recognized that the process operation is accurate, and the actual medical device state is displayed as the device display. If it is different from the medical device image of the part 11, it can be recognized that the operation of the process is inaccurate.

  As the operator operates the terminal 3-1 as the medical equipment handling operation progresses, the display content of the display unit of the terminal 3-1 transitions in the order of screen A, screen B, screen C, and screen D. Therefore, the worker can visually recognize the work contents and work accuracy in each process.

  The main process related to the screens B and D is the quality important work process, but the operation for making the transition from the screen B and D of the quality important work process to the next screen is the next from the screen of the normal work process or the count work process. This is different from the operation for transitioning to the screen. That is, a confirmation button 17 is displayed at the lower right of the screens B and D, and an operation for determining the selection of the confirmation button 17 (for example, single click, double click, tap, double tap, long press) is performed. Transition to the next screen. If the operation for selecting and confirming the confirmation button 17 is not performed, the next screen is not displayed. Therefore, the quality of the quality important work is ensured by causing the worker to work and confirm carefully. If an operation for selecting and confirming the confirmation button 17 is performed after the display of the screen D, the screen of the terminal 3-1 returns to the above-described process selection screen or shifts to a screen related to the next upper process. By operating the terminal 3-1 as the work progresses in the next higher-level process, the screen transition of the terminal 3-1 is similarly executed.

The main process related to the screen C is the count work process, but the operation for making a transition from the screen C of the count work process to the next screen is the screen of the next main process from the screen of the normal work process or the quality important work process. This is different from the operation for making a transition to. Specifically, a plurality of widgets 11a are displayed on the device display unit 11 of the screen C, and images of components of medical devices are displayed on these widgets 11a. Then, the operator operates the terminal 3-1 while comparing the actual components of the medical device with the widget 11a. Specifically, if the component displayed on the widget 11a is included in an actual medical device, the operator selects the widget 11a by operating the terminal 3-1. Thus, when all the widgets 11a are selected, the screen C is changed to the next screen. Therefore, since the screen C is displayed and the confirmation operation for the presence / absence of the actual components of the medical device and the counting operation of these components are not completed, the screen C does not transit to the next screen. The work can be forced to be performed by the worker.
Even when the worker executes another upper process during the medical device handling operation, the screen transition of the terminal 3-1 is the same by operating the terminal 3-1 as the work progresses in the upper process. To be executed.

<3. Editing workflow content>
When the editor uses the terminals 3-1 to 3-3 or the server 2 of the system 1, the workflow content for realizing the screen transition as described above is edited. Hereinafter, the terminal 3-1 will be described in detail as an example of editing workflow content using the terminal 3-1.

The communication unit 35 is a network adapter (for example, a network interface card, a wireless LAN slave unit).

<3-2. Material data>
The storage device 32 stores image data 48 that is a material for workflow content. The image data 48 is an image showing medical equipment in order to show the state of the medical equipment by the work of each process. The image data 48 has unique data (for example, a file name and an identifier), and each image data 48 can be identified from other image data 48 based on the unique data.

  The image data 48 is recorded in advance in the storage device 32 for each type, state, component (part), combination, etc. of the medical equipment. In addition, every time medical equipment is introduced (acquired, purchased, purchased, or loaned) to a hospital, image data obtained by imaging the medical equipment and its components with an electronic camera is stored in the database of the storage device of the server 2. The registered image data is synchronized (recorded) in the storage device 32 as image data 48.

<3-3. Program>

The storage device 32 stores a basic program 101, a management program 102, an editing program 103, and a display program 104.

When the display program 104 is activated / executed by the arithmetic processing unit 31, the arithmetic processing unit 31 reads the work flow content (in detail, any one of the files 115 described later (see FIG. 18)) and follows the work flow content. The arithmetic processing unit 31 controls the display device 33 so that screen transitions (for example, screens A to D, B1, B2, D1, and D2) proceed according to the operation of the input device 34 by the operator. Here, at the time of displaying each transition screen, the arithmetic processing unit 31 determines that the equipment display unit 11, the work content display unit 12, and the work content display unit 12 according to the work flow content (detailed below is one of the files 115 (see FIG. 18)). The display contents of the order display unit 13, the sign display unit 14, the order display unit 15, and the process classification display unit 16 are determined, and each screen is generated so as to render the display contents. Note that the screens A to D, B1, B2, D1, and D2 as examples of the screen transition are as described in “2. Medical equipment handling work and screen transition”.

<3-4. Editing program and its functions>
The editing program 103 is installed in the OS of the basic program 101 and can be executed by the arithmetic processing unit 31 on the OS. When the editing program 103 is activated and executed by the arithmetic processing device 31, the GUI is operated by the input device 34 and the GUI is displayed on the display device 33. That is, when the editor operates the input device 34 with the editing program 103 activated by the arithmetic processing device 31, the workflow content is edited by the arithmetic processing device 31 in accordance with the operation details. At this time, the work flow content being edited is expanded as a temporary file 44 in the work area (temporary folder) 105 of the storage device 32 and updated / recorded in the work area 105 every time it is edited by the arithmetic processing unit 31. Is done. The work area 105 may be generated in the RAM of the arithmetic processing unit 31, and the data of the temporary file 44 may be expanded in the work area 105 in the RAM.

<3-4-1. Temporary file>
The temporary file 44 includes upper process data 45 for each upper process, main process data 46 for each main process, and sub process data 47 for each sub process. Although details will be described later, when the work flow content is registered, the temporary file 44 being edited in the work area 105 is copied and registered in the content database 110 of the storage device 32 as the file 115 (see FIG. 18). Is done. Accordingly, the file 115 is composed of upper process data, main process data, and sub process data, like the temporary file 44.

When the editing program 103 is executed, a GUI (work flow editing screen shown in FIG. 8) is realized, and new work flow content (temporary file 44) can be edited. That is, the editor can edit the work flow content, that is, the temporary file 44 by operating the input device 34 while viewing the display screen of the display device 33 (see “3. Editing the work flow content”).

  After editing the workflow content, when the editor operates the input device 34 and inputs a message to save, the arithmetic processing device 31 accepts the message (step S15). Then, the arithmetic processing unit 31 displays the input screen of the workflow content editing reason on the display device 33. After that, when the editor inputs the reason for editing the workflow content by the input device 34, the arithmetic processing device 31 inputs the input reason. The contents (reason for editing workflow content) are received and stored (step S16). Further, when the arithmetic processing unit 31 displays an input screen for an approver identifier (for example, a user ID) on the display device 33 and then the editor inputs the approver identifier with the input device 34, the arithmetic processing unit 31 The input content is received and stored (step S17). Note that the editor does not select an approver as in step S17, but a default approver identifier may be set in advance.

  Thereafter, the arithmetic processing unit 31 generates a new storage folder 111 in the content database 110 of the storage device 32, and generates a new version folder 113 in the lower layer, and the temporary file 44 being edited stored in the work area 105. Is recorded in the version folder 113 as a file 115 (step S18). This file 115 is the first version of the workflow content.

  Thereafter, the arithmetic processing unit 31 generates a version management table 117 in the storage folder 111 and records version information 119 in the version management table 117 (step S19). Specifically, the arithmetic processing unit 31 records the version number (specifically, No. 1) of the file 115 recorded in step S18 as the value of the version number information 121 of the version information 119, and the work in that version The identifier of the flow content is recorded as the value of the identifier information 122 of the version information 119, the name of the workflow content received in step S12 is recorded as the value of the name information 123, and the address of the file 115 is recorded as the value of the address information 124. Then, the recording time of the file 115 is recorded as the value of the time information 125, the logged-in user ID of the editor is recorded as the value of the editor information 126, and the editing reason accepted in step S16 is set as the value of the editing reason information 127.

Further, one of the workflow content versions is selected and input. Thereby, the arithmetic processing unit 31 selects the storage folder 111 for the selected workflow content, and selects the version folder 113 of the selected version (step S32). Then, the processing unit 31 reads the file 115 in the version folder 113 and expands the file 115 as a temporary file 44 in the work area 105 (step S33). Further, the arithmetic processing unit 31 reads and stores the version information 119 of the selected version among the version information 119 of the version management table 117 stored in the storage folder 111 of the selected workflow content (step S34). .

  Then, the arithmetic processing unit 31 executes the editing program 103 (step S35). When the editing program 103 is executed, a GUI (workflow editing screen shown in FIG. 8) is realized, and the existing work flow content (temporary file 44) can be edited. That is, the editor can edit the work flow content, that is, the temporary file 44 by operating the input device 34 while viewing the display screen of the display device 33 (see “3. Editing the work flow content”).

  After editing the workflow content, when the editor operates the input device 34 and inputs a message to save, the arithmetic processing device 31 accepts the message (step S36). Then, the arithmetic processing unit 31 displays the input screen of the workflow content editing reason on the display device 33. After that, when the editor inputs the reason for editing the workflow content by the input device 34, the arithmetic processing device 31 inputs the input reason. The contents (reason for editing workflow content) are received and stored (step S37). Further, when the arithmetic processing unit 31 displays an input screen for an approver identifier (for example, a user ID) on the display device 33 and then the editor inputs the approver identifier with the input device 34, the arithmetic processing unit 31 The input content is received and stored (step S38). Note that the editor does not select the approver as in step S28, but a default approver identifier may be set in advance.

  Thereafter, a new version folder 113 is generated below the storage folder 111 selected by the arithmetic processing unit 31, and the temporary file 44 being edited stored in the work area 105 is recorded in the version folder 113 as a file 115 (step S39). ). This file 115 is the latest version of the workflow content.

  Thereafter, the new version information 119 is recorded in the version management table 117 of the selected storage folder 111 by the arithmetic processing unit 31 (step S40). Specifically, the arithmetic processing unit 31 records the version number (specifically, the latest version number) of the file 115 recorded in step S29 as the value of the version number information 121 of the version information 119, and the version number The identifier of the workflow content is recorded as the value of the identifier information 122 of the version information 119, the name information 123 of the version information 119 read in step S34 is recorded as the name information 123 of the new version information 119, and recorded in step S39. The address of the file 115 is recorded as the value of the address information 124, the recording time of the file 115 recorded in step S 39 is recorded as the value of the time information 125, and the logged-in user ID of the editor is recorded as the value of the editor information 126. And step Editing reasons accepted in 37 recorded as the value of the Reason for editing information 127 records the approver identifier accepted in step S38 as the value of the approver information 128.

  Thereafter, the arithmetic processing unit 31 executes a synchronization process, and transfers the file 115 recorded as described above and the version information 119 of the version management table 117 to the server 2 (step S41). As a result, the database 110 of the storage device 32 is also synchronized with the storage device of the server 2, and the database 110 is also synchronized with the other terminals 3-2 and 3-3 by the server 2.
