Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an image filing device, and in particular is used in a chart filing system using a write-once optical disc.

[Technical Invention II #View]

Medical records (medical records) are stored in order to keep medical records of thoughts and use them for later medical treatment, but since the storage of medical records is so huge that it becomes difficult to search, the medical records are stored using ancient TI1 optical discs. Medical record filing systems using optical discs, which digitize and store image information as is, are beginning to be used.

The optical discs currently in use are of the write-once type, and it is not possible to erase the area where data has been written and rewrite it. On the other hand, medical records are written on medical record sheets of a predetermined paper size such as A/1 version or 85 version, and the medical records are added for each medical treatment.

Input such medical record information onto a write-once optical disc.
Input is normally performed on a daily basis or every time one page's worth of information is completed.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image file device such as a conventionally used medical chart filing system. A keyboard 3 for input, an image scanner 4 for inputting images of input objects such as medical records,
An optical disk 6 for storing image information, a magnetic disk 7 for storing directory information, etc., an image disk [1 to 4]
-1 before inputting the image information obtained in to the optical disc 6.
1. Input buffer and optical disk 6 for storage
A storage device 8 having an output buffer for temporarily storing image information before outputting the image information to the CRT 2 and/or the printer 5 is connected to a bus.

In such a system, 9 minutes of one page of a medical record is read and digitized using an image system 4, and directory information is updated and stored on a magnetic disk 7 by inputting necessary information such as a memory card. At the same time, the digitized image information is stored on the optical disk.

[Problems with background technology]

However, when inputting the number 1 daily rl as described above, even if the information is entered only on a part of one page of the medical record, a lot of blank space is left for input, while information for several days is entered on one page. In some cases, the same information is input repeatedly over several days, resulting in problems such as input time, efficiency of use of optical discs, and waste of paper when converted to hard copies.

In addition, with the method of inputting information each time one page of information is completed, there is a problem that the input may not be completed when attempting to refer to the previous medical record at the time of medical treatment, making it impossible to fully utilize the medical record. There is.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made to solve such problems, and it is possible to efficiently record image information that is added each time a medical treatment is performed.
The purpose is to provide an image file device that is easy to search.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the image file device J3 according to the present invention includes a manual buffer for temporarily storing read image information on a storage object in which one page is divided into a plurality of parts at the time of input to an optical disk, and an image read out from the optical disk. The relationship between a first storage device consisting of an output buffer 1 that edits information into at least one page of image information and temporarily stores it, and blocks and addresses on an optical disk is shown.
- A second storage device for storing information is provided, so there is no need to waste time or time, and image information can be searched easily.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing the configuration of an image file device according to the present invention.
, Keyboard 13, Image Like! ? It has a configuration in which a printer 14, a printer 15, an optical disk 16, and a magnetic disk 17 are connected, but their configuration and functions are exactly the same as those explained in FIG. 4, so a description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the storage device 201 is different from the conventional one, and the image scanner 1/IF 1"
The input buffer consisting of a video RAM that temporarily stores the input data is divided into multiple stages such as input buffer 7' (1) 21, manual buffer (2) 22, and so on. There is. 4 [In the present invention, for example, 1
Divide a page of medical records into n blocks to form n blocks, and form one block for one medical treatment; In principle, blocks are used, and internal production information for each block is stored in input buffers 21 to 2n whose capacity corresponds to the block. In addition, the magnetic disk 17
In the directory stored in , the block number to be recorded and codes for retrieving information such as patient code, date code, etc. are stored as a table corresponding to storage addresses on the optical disk.

Now, the medical record is divided into four blocks to form blocks, and the first block was the final block during the previous medical treatment, and the second block was used for the current medical treatment. The procedure for manually outputting an image in such a case will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively.

At the end of the medical treatment, operator A, who has received the medical records for manual labor, first operates the keyboard to access the magnetic disk 17, refers to the contents of this bulletin board, and enters ff1II on the last page of the previous entry. Display the block number ('i' in this example) on the CRT (step 101)
. Next, the block number ("2" in this example) that was input this time is confirmed with respect to this final block number (step 102).

Next, the corresponding block of the corresponding page used this time (2)
The image information is taken out from the input buffer 22, transferred to the optical disc, and recorded in the allocated area of block 2/1 on the optical disc (step 103). At this time, the blank blocks of that page are not written to the optical disk. The last page and last block number are recorded in the directory on the magnetic disk and the contents are updated (step 104). The above operations are mainly performed under the control of the blocks 1 and 11.

Next, the procedure for extracting the image information on the optical disc will be explained.

In the case of a medical record, the most important key is the patient name, and for example, a doctor who wishes to use the file information inputs the patient code from the keyboard 13 and also specifies the date (step 201). The printer 4J11 accesses the magnetic disk 17 from this date and patient code, finds the corresponding page and block (step 202), and inputs the content information of the blocks before and after the block into the corresponding input buffers 7721, 22, . . . Transfer step 2
03), then one page is synthesized on the output buffer 130 consisting of video RAM and edited (step 204).
). The image information in this output buffer 30 is displayed on the CRT 12 and outputted by a printer as necessary (step 205). The reason why the output is performed at Qi on page 1 of the medical chart is because there is a desire in the ward name to refer to past medical records at the same time and use them for medical treatment, just like with normal medical records.

In the embodiments described above, the number of block divisions of the chart is made constant within the hospital, but since the description In varies depending on the medical department, the number of divisions may be changed depending on the department. For example, in cases where there are many medications, such as H, it may be possible to reduce the number of divisions and increase the amount of information to be described.

Furthermore, since there is generally a large amount of information in the medical record at the time of the first visit, by inputting a code indicating that it is the first visit, it is possible to secure twice or three times the usual number of records.

Furthermore, various methods can be considered for outputting collection 2. For example, a method of outputting 12 charts of each patient's medical records from the first visit to the present, or a method of outputting medical records of desired date 1 on a page. The remaining blocks may be placed in the last block of the page, and the remaining blocks may be moved back as many times as the page is filled.

ii [[
For file devices, for example, optical disk devices with a capacity of 3.6 GB have conventional fa? Approximately 60,000 pages of medical records were maintained, including duplicated and unfilled sections, but with the device of the present invention, which does not record duplicated or unfilled sections, the actual recording capacity reaches 3 to 1 times as much. It turns out.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when one page of a recording object such as a medical record is divided into a plurality of blocks, the C light 1 is used to record an image in the image (11 pages are edited in the middle). ``Since it is equipped with an input buffer for each block and an output buffer for one page, it eliminates the need to re-enter the same information, increases the amount of information that can be stored, and improves the efficiency of optical disk usage.'' It is possible to speed up information retrieval.
