Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diagnostic support device for a hospital, which displays changes in treatment and changes in test results in an easy-to-understand manner to support determination of treatment effects and execution of treatment plans.

[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. This system has terminals installed at reception desks, examination rooms, examination rooms, offices, drug departments, various examination rooms, nurse stations, ward clinics, etc.
It is used to connect to the host machine via (local area network), exchange data with the host machine, perform various arithmetic processing, and perform various management. From the outpatient reception to medical treatment, inpatient treatment, and inspection. It is possible to make a database of various data of individual patients up to the above, and various data of hospital operations, and save the data so that the data can be retrieved and referred to, and accounting operations can be performed.

[0003] In this system, a database holds information on the results of previous examinations of inpatients and outpatients and drugs that have been injected or administered.

Therefore, using the information held in the database by this medical integrated system, the transition of the test results of the patient so far is graphed, and the progress of medical treatment such as medication is displayed by sharing the time axis. Is displayed in
It is effective in assisting doctors in diagnosis work and confirming the medical condition or therapeutic effect, and is highly useful.

Therefore, in the conventional system, in the patient status display mode, if some items such as the patient name, ID number, date of birth, etc. are entered, the age, weight, constitution,
Inspected items and the like are displayed, and when the inspection item to be displayed is specified, the history of the inspection item up to the present is graphed and displayed together.

[0006]

As described above, in the medical integrated system, the database holds information on the past examination results of inpatients and outpatients, and information on injected and administered drugs.

[0007] Therefore, using the information held in the database by this medical integrated system, the transition of the test results of the patient up to now is graphed, and the progress of medical treatment (treatment) such as treatment and medication can be calculated with time. Sharing the axis and displaying it on the display is effective in assisting the doctor in diagnosis work and confirming the medical condition or the therapeutic effect, and is highly useful.

Therefore, in the conventional system, in the patient status display mode, if some items such as the patient name, ID number, date of birth, etc. are entered, the age, weight, constitution,
Inspected items and the like are displayed, and when the inspection item to be displayed is specified, the history of the inspection item up to the present is graphed and displayed together.

Further, the display of the treatment execution time for each treatment item is also displayed as a graph with the time axis aligned with the above graph.

The visualization of such data by this function may assist the judgment of the disease name in some cases, but the disease name is known, but what kind of treatment policy is suitable for the patient's constitution is desirable. It may be effective in establishing such a treatment plan. However, in order to configure a screen that is easy for the doctor to understand, displaying all the test results performed is not only difficult due to the size limitation of the display, but also the screen is complicated,
Rather, it becomes a negative factor that it becomes difficult to see.

Therefore, in the conventional system, among the results obtained by performing the inspection, the operator selects an important one or a noticed one and displays it in the form of a graph. It is necessary to select an item to be displayed together with the above graph from among the therapeutic items (medication and injection), and display the treatment time together with the above graph so that their time axes are matched.

Further, matters relating to the graph display, for example,
The origin of the graph, the display scale, the display period of when to display the period from what time, and the display method of displaying the logarithmic coordinates or the normal coordinates must be set.

Performing such selection / setting operations every time a graph is displayed imposes a heavy burden on a doctor or a nurse who is an operator, and defeats the original purpose of assisting diagnosis.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to
Anyone can use it easily by reducing the setting and selection operations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a diagnostic support device for a hospital capable of effectively assisting diagnosis.

[0015]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, a database holding diagnostic information for each patient, history of treatment and examination information and setting condition information for displaying these information, and diagnostic information for each patient, treatment content and examination information are input to the database. Along with this, the first function of extracting various information of the patient held in this database for display, and setting condition information for displaying these transitions from the treatment content and examination information out of the various information of the extracted patient Second function to display a graph based on
It comprises a processing means having a third means for changing the setting condition information for the display, and a display means for displaying the display contents by the processing means.

Further, the database also holds setting condition information for each doctor in charge.

[0017]

In the above structure, the database holds the history of diagnostic information, treatment details and examination information for each patient and the setting condition information for displaying these information. Thus, it is possible to input and save diagnostic information, treatment details and examination information for each patient. Then, the processing means retrieves various information of the patient held in the database and displays it on the display means so that the treatment status of the patient can be listed, and the treatment content of the retrieved various information of the patient. By displaying these transitions from the examination information and the graph based on the setting condition information for display, consideration of the treatment effect and support of the treatment plan are performed.

In the database as a comprehensive medical system, specifically, (1) "information on each disease (disease name, etc.)" (2) "information on each test item (test item name, normal range of test results, etc.)" (3) "Information about the operator (information about hospital staff including doctors)" is held in advance, and when the system is operated, (4) "Information about the patient" is accumulated.

Here, the inspection to be displayed on the graph is
For example, it is a measurement of the amount of a specific component in blood like a GOT test. Therefore, the information regarding the initial setting of the method of constructing the graph screen is individually provided in the above-mentioned (2) “Information regarding each inspection item”, and this information is used as the setting condition of the display, and the display according to this condition is performed. . This "information on each inspection item" includes the scale of the vertical axis (the value at the origin position of the display and the maximum value), how to set the scale, (logarithmic display, normal display), the range of normal values of the inspection result, etc. .

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

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

Therefore, when the main disease name of the patient is already registered in the database 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. Corresponding to, and separately stored in the database. This information is used as the initial setting when displaying a graph for a new patient with the same main disease, and even if there is no previous display history, the automatic graph screen configuration is set as the initial setting. Will be possible.
This information is stored separately for each operator (doctor). This is to cope with the case where there are cases in which the index and treatment content to be emphasized differ depending on the doctor.

According to the present invention as described above, in visual display of medical data of a patient, most of the operations for setting details associated with visualization can be omitted, and the operability is dramatically improved. It is possible to construct a medical system that can be fully used in the inspection work of doctors without burden.

[0024]

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

Next, the operation of the present apparatus having such a configuration will be described. As described above, personal computers or workstations are used as the terminal devices 4 and 5 for the examination room and the ward, and each has a display device and is connected to each other via a LAN. In order to process a large amount of data, there is a host machine that operates as a database, and retrieves and delivers the required data and stores and corrects the data in response to requests from terminals. The terminal device includes a reception desk, an examination room, a drug department,
It is placed in various inspection rooms and performs necessary work. For example, when a patient accepts, a new terminal is registered at the reception terminal, stored in the database, and notified to the terminal of the examination room of each clinical department that the patient has come to the hospital through the LAN.

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

As a result, this instruction is transmitted to the terminal device of the facility and the CPU of the terminal device 4 or 5 concerned.
Reference numeral 21 gives the database processing device 1 a command to store the instructed examination and prescription information in the database. Therefore, the instructed examination and prescription information is stored in the database as new information of the patient together with the date and time information.

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

Consider a case where the doctor operates the terminal devices 4 and 5 to display the examination results of a certain patient up to now as a graph.

FIG. 4 is a display example of the terminal devices 4 and 5 for the examination room and the inpatient ward which are objects of the present invention. This figure shows a state in which the past test results, treatments, and medication history stored in the database are displayed for a specific patient.

In the patient status display mode, the patient name,
Of the ID number, date of birth, etc., a screen waiting for input of some minimum required items is displayed, and when the contents of the required items are input in response to the request, the information of the corresponding patient is read from the database. Then, the device receives this information, and from this information, arranges the patient name, ID number, date of birth, etc., as well as age, weight, constitution, examined items, etc., and displays them in a list form on the display screen.

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

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

When a plurality of inspection items are displayed in a graph at the same time, the horizontal axis representing the date is displayed in common.
As a result, medical treatment (treatment) such as medication and treatment can be associated with changes in the patient's condition.

In general, a large number of tests, medications and treatments are performed on 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, it may be necessary to display a longer period of time, such as half a year or one year, and it is sufficient to display only the recent situation, and the long-term situation can be understood rather. It can be difficult.

Similarly, in the case of a graph, the test result may take a very special value depending on the patient, and the plot point may be outside the display area of the graph and may not be visible. In such cases, it becomes necessary to correct the display settings.

Therefore, the condition setting function unit 2 is included in the CPU 21.
By the function of 1b, it is possible to change the display setting by operating the keyboard or the mouse. By changing the setting condition by this function, the function of the graph creation processing function unit 21a allows the display setting to be performed in real time. The display can be changed by linking the graphs. The changed setting condition is 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 content can be reused in the next display.

Further, since 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, the setting was changed, but when it was not appropriate, it was changed once. You can do this with one touch if you want to undo. Also, if you want to change the display temporarily, such as for reference only, you can use a mode that allows you to make temporary changes only on the terminal side without updating the setting conditions in the database by specifying a temporary instruction. .

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the information and the display settings belonging to the information according to the present invention. That is, (a) in FIG. 5 is information relating to a disease name, including information on a disease name handled by each clinical department, initial display settings for each disease (test items to be displayed, broken line display settings for each test result (scale setting), The treatment name and the type of drug to be displayed are set.

(B) in FIG. 5 is information on the inspection item, which is the inspection item name, the unit of the inspection result, the normal value range of the inspection result, and the polygonal line display setting for each inspection item (the value of the display range, the normal value range, Display type (normal display, logarithmic display), etc. are set.

(C) in FIG. 5 is information relating to the operator, and initial display settings for each doctor name, department, and disease for each doctor (test items to be displayed, line display settings for each test result,
Displayed treatment, medication type, etc. are set.

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

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

In the case of a patient who displays for the first time,
There is no previous setting, but 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 contents according to it is necessary. It is stored in a database together with information on disease names. Then, as the information on the disease, information on the examination item and the type of treatment for the patient is acquired from the database, and the acquired information is displayed on the display unit.

Therefore, even in the case of the initial examination, it is possible to list what kind of examination is necessary and what kind of treatment is necessary, and the doctor can select the necessary one from these and decide the guideline for the examination and treatment. it can. Of course, if you select from these, or if you input other instructions,
The data is registered in the database as data about the patient.

Further, since a list of medicines and the like to be prescribed according to the disease is also stored in the database, this can also be displayed on the display unit according to the disease and referred to.

6 to 8 are flow charts showing the procedure for selecting the graph display setting by the medical integrated system adopting the present invention. FIG. 6 is an overall view, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are partially enlarged views. (3) in the explanation shown in the figure,
The numbers such as (4) correspond to those in FIG.

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

If the result of the check in S3 is that there is a previous registration, the previously registered "(3) Information about the operator", which is the initial display setting for each disease for each doctor (operator) (FIG. 6 (c)). (See) is used for initial display (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 time of ending the display is set to both "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" and "(3) Information about operator" (S6), and the display is ended.

On the other hand, as a result of the check in S1, if it is not the first display (when the display setting is registered in the patient data), the process proceeds to S10, and "(4) For each patient" of the previous registration for this patient. Initial display according to the contents of "Display initialization". 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 time of ending the display is set to "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" (S12), and the display is ended.

In the check of S2, if the main disease of the patient has already been input, the process proceeds to S7, the operator selects the display item, and the item is incorporated in the next "(2) Information of inspection item". The display setting of the graph is read and used, and the graph is displayed under the setting 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 operator" (S6), and the display is ended.

If there is no previous registration as a result of the check in S3, "(1) Initial display setting for each disease" (FIG. 6) which is the setting information for initial display for each disease that is incorporated in the system in advance. (See (c)) is used for 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 time of ending the display is set to both "(4) Initial display setting for each patient" and "(3) Information about operator" (S6), and the display is ended.

The details of the present invention have been described above. In short, in order to display the transition of the medical condition of the patient in an easy-to-understand visual form, the present invention displays the transition of the test results and the history of the treatment contents in the form of a graph. It is possible to register setting condition information such as an appropriate scale according to disease name and examination item, priority display items by disease by doctor, appropriate scale by patient, graph form, etc., and change to these setting conditions. If there is, the latest setting condition information is registered, and thereafter, the display is performed under the setting condition based on the setting information.

That is, in the medical integrated system,
"Information about each disease (disease name, etc.)", "Information about each test item (test item name, normal range of test results, etc.)", "Information about operator (information of hospital staff including doctors)" in advance Once stored and the system is operational, further "information about the patient" can be stored in the database.

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

Since these settings are only initial settings (default settings), it may be necessary to change them when they are actually used. Therefore, the settings can be changed.

Next, it is assumed that the doctor constructs and refers to a graph screen for some processing contents and examination items for a specific patient. The system stores the combination of the examination item and the treatment item displayed at this time and the details of the respective display methods, and stores them separately for each patient as a part of the above-mentioned “information regarding the patient”.

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

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

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. It is stored separately corresponding to. This information is used as the initial setting when displaying a graph for a new patient with the same main disease, and even if there is no previous display history, the automatic graph screen configuration is set as the initial setting. Will be possible. Note that this information is stored separately for each operator (doctor). This is to cope with the case where there are cases in which the index and treatment content to be emphasized differ depending on the doctor.

As described above, in the present invention, in order to support the diagnostic work by the doctor by using the information in the database,
The changes in the test results and the correspondence of the treatment contents 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.
