Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical information management system, and more particularly to a medical information management system using a two-dimensional code.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An examination information system is one of the conventional hospital information systems that are widely used mainly in large-scale hospitals. This examination information system will be described as a representative example of other systems included in the hospital information system.

In the examination information system, examination request information from clinical sites such as wards and outpatient clinics receives examinations from the order entry system (a type of source input system) terminal through the network installed in the hospital. Transmitted to the department. A sample such as blood collected from a patient to be examined is transported from a ward or a central blood collection room by a sample tube with a barcode attached.

In the analysis test, the sample and the contents of the test request are referred to in the computer by the bar coded identification code, and after the contents are confirmed, the sample reception and the analysis by the analyzer are executed.

Identification by attaching a bar code to a sample tube is widely adopted in facilities where a test information system is installed.

[0006]

However, in many of these systems, the installation of a network system is a prerequisite. It is also important that the analyzers subject to the inspection items are automated and that each automated analyzer can communicate not only the inspection result information but also the inspection request information with the computer of the inspection information system online. . These had a problem that a lot of capital investment was forced.

It can be said that this problem also applies to other systems in the hospital information system.

With regard to this test information system, the multistage two-dimensional code is used as a means for accurately transmitting the sample and the test information while minimizing the equipment investment in the network without impairing the flow of automation of the analysis result. An effective means for coding the request content itself and the result of the inspection request item to make an autonomous decentralized system has been proposed, but no concrete means for solving other systems has been shown.

FIG. 7 is a display diagram of a multi-stage two-dimensional code. Maximum volume of coded information when a two-dimensional code is created based on the size, width of 15 mm, and maximum length of 45 mm specified in the guideline of the sample label attached to the sample tube. Is 600 characters. However, this number changes depending on the security level of the two-dimensional code and the density ratio of the barcode set to restore the information when the label has a defect.

In such an example of the inspection field, although the multi-stage two-dimensional code has a large size, there is a restriction on the information capacity. For this reason, there is a problem in that it is not possible to adequately support the recording of complicated doctor's instructions and cautions, impressions of test results, and the like.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it requires a large number of expensive devices such as a computer to transmit medical information based on the judgment of a doctor. It is an object of the present invention to realize an inexpensive information management system that can be configured with a very small number of devices and can transmit a large amount of information, regardless of a simple network system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a medical information management system using a two-dimensional code according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(1) First Embodiment The two-dimensional code is resistant to dirt, and reading errors are small even if it is a little dirty. Therefore, it can be said that it is suitable for being used in the medical field where various drugs and blood are handled.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prescription system with a two-dimensional code. The exchange of prescriptions between hospitals (where doctors are) and pharmacies is managed by a medical information management system that uses a two-dimensional code.

In FIG. 1, the hospital 1 includes a general personal computer 5 and a general printer 7 such as a laser printer. The personal computer 5
It functions by software that converts input information into a two-dimensional code and reproduces the input information from the two-dimensional code.

The pharmacy 3 includes a two-dimensional code reader (scanner) 9 and a display 11. The two-dimensional code reader 9 may have a display function. Display 1
1 may be a personal computer.

In the hospital 1, the personal computer 5 is connected to the printer 7. In the pharmacy 3, the two-dimensional code reader 9 is connected to the display 11.

FIG. 1 shows a two-dimensional coded prescription 13 exchanged between the hospital 1 and the pharmacy 3. This 2
For the dimension code prescription 13, a matrix type two-dimensional code 15 is used as an example of the two-dimensional code.

Here, the matrix type two-dimensional code will be described. FIG. 2 is a display diagram of a matrix type two-dimensional code.

One-dimensional bar code, multi-stage two-dimensional code,
Comparing the information capacity of matrix type two-dimensional codes,
The main one-dimensional barcode is approximately 10 mm long and 40 m long.
10 or more characters in m, the main multi-stage two-dimensional code is 15 m in height
m, length 45 mm, maximum 600 characters, matrix type 2
It is possible for the dimension code to have more than 500 characters per 15 mm square. That is, the matrix-type two-dimensional code has an information capacity several ten times that of the one-dimensional barcode, and the matrix-type two-dimensional code has an information capacity more than twice that of the multi-stage two-dimensional code. Therefore, the matrix formula 2
The use of dimensional codes allows data to be stored without requiring a large area, and can be used for many applications where conventional codes are considered unusable due to data density problems. .

Further, since the matrix type two-dimensional code is a two-dimensional data structure using the principle of geometry, its size can be easily and economically scaled up / down without data loss, and it is extremely large. You can freely select the size suitable for each application from size to micro size.

Since the matrix type two-dimensional code is a square matrix, it can be read from any direction. Due to this 360 ° omnidirectional reading capability, it is possible to read in all 360 ° directions regardless of the positional relationship of the direction of the coded item with respect to the reader (scanner).

The decoding speed of a matrix type two-dimensional code is instantaneous because the entire code is captured as an image and is read by image processing. What is the decoding speed of a bar code which requires continuous scanning by a bar code reader? Incomparably fast. Moreover,
Since an error check function based on a CRC code or the like can be supported, in the case of a normal application, the error occurrence probability is in the range of millions of parts to tens of millions, which is outstanding reliability.

The appearance of the matrix type two-dimensional code is more visually appealing than that of a bar code requiring a large space, and is also suitable for ensuring security (confidentiality).

Similarly, in the second and third embodiments, a matrix type two-dimensional code having a higher data density per area than the two-dimensional code will be described as an example of the two-dimensional code.

In the hospital (where the doctor is) 1, the doctor inputs information such as drug prescription into the personal computer 5. The entered information is the personal computer 5
Is converted into a two-dimensional code and output, and printed by the printer 7. The printed two-dimensional code prescription 13 is issued to the patient or the pharmacy 3.

The main information contents input by the doctor and two-dimensionally coded are, for example, hospital information (hospital name, medical department, doctor name, etc.), prescription contents, patient information (patient name, disease name, etc.), The date of issue can be given. Of course, it does not matter if the information is a coded name of a hospital or patient.

When the prescription 13 with the two-dimensional code is issued to the patient, the patient brings it to the pharmacy 3.

At the pharmacy 3 that has received the two-dimensional code-added prescription 13, the pharmacist or the like reads the two-dimensional code 15 of the two-dimensional code-added prescription 13 with the two-dimensional code reader 9 and dispenses the drug according to the input information reproduced on the display 11. Prescribe.

When the two-dimensional code is used in the prescription information management system as described above, unlike the case of handwriting, there is no mixing error due to misreading of drug names. In addition, human errors such as mistakes in medicine due to patient information or hospital information are reduced. And, since the prescription for one time can be made into, for example, a 12 mm square two-dimensional code prescription, it is not necessary to store many prescriptions in order to store the prescription data of the patient, so that the location is also large. In addition, collection of patient (customer) information becomes easy.
