When a report on the relevant patient data is generated for the second time, the number of times of determination of management data relating to the report is updated to 2, and "Ver. 2" corresponding to the number of times of determination 2 is stored in the management data area 29. You. The report data in which these data are stored are stored in the step S1.
At 7, the file name is recorded in the spool area 22 as the report data version 2 of the corresponding patient data. The file name of report data version 2 is added to the management data. The report data once recorded in the spool area 22 is version 1
It cannot be rewritten, and cannot be updated.

Until the number of determinations reaches the limited number of times, each data is stored in the same manner as that of the second report data creation for the third and subsequent report data creations.
It is recorded in a spool area 22 in the hard disk 16. When the recording in the spool area 22 is completed, step S
Then, the process proceeds to step S18, and the report data creation process ends.

The above-described inspection data, recording data, and finding data can be updated any number of times until the report data is determined. In other words, test data,
The recording data and finding data are updated at an arbitrary number of times, and the report data is determined when the content of each data is determined.

Next, the procedure and operation for printing the created report data will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S21, printing of report data is started. Next, in step S22, the patient data corresponding to the report data to be printed is selected. The operation of this selection is the same as the operation of selecting patient data in step S2 in creating report data.

Next, in step S23, it is checked whether the corresponding report data has been created by referring to the management data corresponding to the selected patient data. If the corresponding report data has not been created, step S2
Proceed to 8 to end the printing process. If the corresponding report data has been created, the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, a corresponding report data version is selected. At the time of this selection, first, a list of report data versions already created based on the corresponding management data is displayed on the display 3. The user selects a desired version from the displayed list of versions. When the desired version is selected, the process proceeds to step S25, where the selected report data is read from the spool area 22 in the hard disk 16 and is preview-displayed on the display 3.

The user checks the report data displayed in step S26, and if the report data is not the desired report data, returns to step S24, and again selects a desired version of the inspection to be printed. If it is determined that the report data displayed in step S26 is the desired one, the process proceeds to step S27, and the report data is printed. Here, the report data recorded in the spool area 22 is read into the printer I / F 18, and
It is printed out from the printer 7. Thereafter, the report data printing process ends in step S28.

The document editing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment has substantially the same configuration as a general computer, and performs processing for making these flows function in order to perform the above-described report data creation processing and report data printing processing.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, when the contents of the inspection data, the image data, the recording data, and the finding data are respectively determined, the report data storing the information is created and cannot be rewritten. Therefore, falsification of the created report can be prevented. In addition, since the inspection data, image data, recording data, and finding data can each be rewritten, the contents can be considered until a report is created.

Furthermore, even after the report data is created, the same inspection data, image data, recording data, and finding data are rewritten to create a new report and record it as non-rewritable information. Therefore, the report can be left as a history. Of course, all of these reports left as traces cannot be altered. Also, the number of times a report can be created by rewriting the same inspection data, image data, recording data, and finding data is limited, so that the report is not updated more than necessary.

Furthermore, since the created report can be printed after confirming the content, it is possible to support the medical treatment and treatment of the patient at any time.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 7 and 8 relate to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure for making an examination reservation, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for creating report data.
