An overview of the present invention is a pharmaceutical company, a medical institution that prescribes a drug of the pharmaceutical company to a patient, and clinical data of a drug that the medical institution should provide to the pharmaceutical company (used in parallel with the drug. A dedicated medical information management center for managing medical devices (including medical device information data that can be output from a urea meter, a blood glucose meter, a body fat meter, and a sphygmomanometer) is interconnected via a network. The medical information management center evaluates and analyzes clinical data provided by medical institutions, and provides the results to pharmaceutical companies, enabling efficient evaluation and analysis of pharmaceuticals and related clinical data among related parties. Is managed and processed. For example, as a diabetes-related drug, an oral diabetes drug, insulin, and the like can be considered. In the case of these drugs, an important test item is a blood glucose self-measurement value (SMBG). However, since a diabetic patient measures at home several times a day, the data amount becomes enormous. Conventionally, manual input was performed, but the blood glucose self-value measured by the blood glucose meter is digitized by a data management system (for example, Terumo's "Data Vision") and transmitted to the medical information management center. By establishing a mechanism, medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies can greatly improve efficiency.

Next, processing executed in the medical information management system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process executed in the medical information management system of the present embodiment.

First, in step S101, each medical institution 1
Numerals 02 to 104 input medical information data to their respective terminals. The input of the medical information data is performed using, for example, a screen (medicine questionnaire) displayed on the terminal for inputting the medical information data as shown in FIG. The input items in the drug questionnaire are based on the contents specified in the PMS.

Here, the drug questionnaire screen of FIG. 4 will be described.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 400 denotes an area for inputting patient information, and an operator of the terminal inputs necessary information on the patient using a keyboard or a mouse. Reference numeral 401 denotes an area for inputting a drug name, and an operator of the terminal inputs a drug name to be evaluated / analyzed. Reference numeral 402 denotes an area for inputting a test value, and an operator of the terminal inputs a clinical data value obtained from the patient when a medicine is administered to the patient. Reference numeral 403 denotes an area for inputting medical device information. When an operator of the terminal presses the read button 400, medical device information data values from a medical device connected to the terminal can be read into this area.

Reference numeral 405 denotes a registration button. When the operator of the terminal presses the registration button 405, the terminal transmits the medical information data input using the drug questionnaire screen to the server terminal of the medical information management center 101. Can be. Reference numeral 406 denotes an end button, which is pressed to close the drug questionnaire screen.

Next, in step S102, the input medical information data is transmitted to the server terminal of the medical information management center 101 and registered.

In step S103, the server terminal of the medical information management center 101 totals the registered medical information data, and evaluates and analyzes the medicine based on the medical information data. In step S104, the evaluation / analysis result is output.
An output example of the evaluation / analysis result is as shown in FIG. 5, and can be viewed / received from the terminal of the pharmaceutical company 100. The example of FIG. 5 shows a state in which the server terminal of the medical information management center 100 allows browsing to the terminal of the pharmaceutical company 100. When the terminal of the pharmaceutical company 100 presses the read button 500, You can receive the evaluation and analysis results of pharmaceutical products.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the medical institution uses the terminal to input information such as medical device information and test results from the medical device to the drug questionnaire which has been conventionally handwritten. Can be performed electronically using
Information can be input more efficiently. Pharmaceutical companies do not need to collect drug questionnaires from medical institutions that provide drugs, as in the past.In addition, drug companies evaluate and analyze the results of drug evaluation and analysis from external medical information management centers. Since they can be obtained in a lump, evaluation and analysis of pharmaceuticals can be performed more efficiently.

In the above-described embodiment, the medical information management center 101 is configured to provide the evaluation and analysis results of the drug to the pharmaceutical company 100 free of charge.
A configuration may be adopted in which various processes such as a management fee for managing medical information data and a data maintenance fee are charged in accordance with the form of providing the analysis result or the medical information data.

The above description merely describes one embodiment of the present invention, and it goes without saying that modifications and / or changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
