Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system, a method, and a storage medium for checking test results in a hospital information system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hospital information system for performing medical care management and patient management is known. In this system, for example, a terminal device is provided for each physician in each medical department performing a medical examination. A list of names of patients to be treated on the day is displayed on the terminal device of each doctor. Some patients need to be tested immediately and see the test results for further examination. In this case, the doctor performs necessary tests for the patient, for example, a sample test such as blood collection and urine collection, a physiological test such as an ultrasonic wave and an electrocardiogram, and an X-ray.
X-ray, CT (Computer Tomography) and NMR (Nuclear Magn
An instruction such as image inspection (e.g., etic resonance) is issued to the inspection reservation system via the terminal device. When the inspection is completed, the inspection system returns an inspection result and information indicating that the inspection is completed. In this case, the test result is stored in a master file provided in the server, and information indicating that the test has been completed is returned to the doctor's terminal device. In this case, the inspection results are sequentially returned from the one after the inspection.

[0003]

In the conventional hospital information system, there is no means for positively informing the doctor that the examination result has been completed. That is, the doctor is performing the medical treatment of the next patient while the examination is being performed, and the screen of the terminal device of the doctor is the medical treatment screen of the next patient. Therefore, unless the physician voluntarily opens the medical care screen of the patient who has performed the test and checks whether or not the test result is displayed, it is impossible to know whether or not the test has been completed.
For this reason, when the number of patients to be examined is large, the memory of the doctor becomes ambiguous, and there is a possibility that confirmation of the examination result may be forgotten. In particular, patients who need to be examined on the day of medical treatment are often urgent, and a means for promptly and surely transmitting the test results to a doctor in charge has been required.

An object of the present invention is to provide a test result confirming system, a method and a storage medium capable of confirming whether a necessary test result exists before performing a medical treatment such as a medical examination or treatment for a patient. .

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the test result confirming method of the present invention, a step of preparing summary information of test result information of a patient each time information is generated; Registering the created summary information in a storage device, displaying a list of information on patients to be examined, and referring to the summary information registered in the storage device, wherein the summary information of the listed patients is Searching for the presence or absence of the patient information, and, if the summary information of the listed patients is present in the summary information registered in the storage device, the summary information of the listed patients is displayed in the vicinity of the listed patient information. Displaying a mark to be indicated.

According to the present invention, a mark indicating that the examination has been completed is displayed near the patient's name on the screen of the list of names of patients treated on the day, so that the doctor in charge confirms the end of the examination at a glance. And can respond quickly and flexibly.

Further, according to the test result confirmation system of the present invention, each time a test result is returned for each type of medical treatment including a sample test, a physiological test, and an image test, summary information is created and registered. And a storage device that stores the summary information created by the registration device, and a device that deletes information relating to a specific condition from the information stored in the storage device.

According to the present invention, the summary information of the test results registered in the past more than a predetermined number of days is unnecessary, and storing such information not only consumes memory unnecessarily, but also When the volume becomes enormous, there arises a problem that search processing becomes slow. Therefore, according to the present invention, an economical test result system with good storage efficiency can be constructed by deleting the summary information of the test results after a predetermined number of days or more.

Further, according to the present invention, in a storage medium embodied by computer readable program code means for displaying patient test result information, the computer readable program code means stores the patient's examination result information in a computer. Computer-readable program code means for creating summary information each time information is generated, computer-readable program code means for storing the created summary information in a computer, and computer A computer-readable program code means for displaying a list of information on patients to be examined; and making the computer refer to the summary information registered in the storage device, and displaying the summary information of the patients displayed in the list. To search for And computer-readable program code means for searching, by the search, when the summary information of the listed patients is in the summary information registered in the storage device, in the vicinity of the listed patient information on the computer. Computer-readable program code means for displaying a mark indicating that fact.

[0010] According to the present invention, a mark indicating that the examination has been completed is displayed near the patient's name on the screen of the list of names of patients treated on the day, so that the doctor in charge confirms the end of the examination at a glance. And can respond quickly and flexibly.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration in a hospital information system to which the test result confirmation system of the present invention is applied. As shown in the figure, a sample test server 1, an image test server 3, a physiological test server 5, and a terminal device (client) operated by each doctor
7 are interconnected via a communication interface such as Ethernet 9. Each doctor operates his own terminal device to display a list of patients to be treated today as shown in FIG. When an arbitrary patient name is selected from this patient list with a mouse or the like, a screen displaying the medical treatment contents of the patient is displayed. When performing a necessary examination on the patient, the doctor performs a necessary operation from the medical treatment content display screen, and displays an examination instruction screen, for example, as shown in FIG.
A list of test items is displayed on the test instruction screen, and the doctor selects a desired search item using a mask or the like. For example, if “simple X-ray” is selected, a window 1 showing more detailed inspection instruction items of “simple X-ray”
1 is displayed. After inputting the instruction of the inspection item, when the “complete” button 13 is selected, the input processing of the inspection instruction item is completed. The input test instruction content is sent to the sample test server 1, the image test server 3, or the physiological test server 5 shown in FIG. Here, an example in which the inspection instruction content is transmitted to the server of each system will be described. However, the transmission of the inspection instruction content is not directly transmitted to the server, but is transmitted to each subsystem, and transmitted from each subsystem to the server. Is also good. As shown in the registration process in FIG. 5, in response to a request from the client 7 including a test instruction, the sample server 1, the image test server 3, or the physiological test server 5 performs the process based on the specified test contents. Inspection system 1 corresponding to each inspection result
When the inspection result is received from 9, 21, and 23 (step S1), the inspection result is registered in each master file of the disk devices 13, 15, and 17 (step S3). Further, each of the servers 1, 3, and 5 creates summary information of the inspection result, and stores the summary information in the disk devices 13, 15, and 17 or each of the servers 1, 3, and 5.
Has the function of storing in the memory of This summary information is shown in FIG.
As shown in “Registration Date”, “Patient Number”, “Instruction Date”,
It is composed of fields of “medical department”, “type of medical care”, “instruction contents”, and “instruction instructor”.

The operation of the inspection result confirmation system according to the present invention thus configured will be described.

When the doctor logs in to his / her own terminal device, or at the timing when the patient's medical treatment list shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the screen, the client 7 performs a search process for the patient for whom the examination instruction has been issued. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the client 7 inputs a predetermined search condition in step S11 of FIG. It should be noted that the search condition may not be input by a person each time, but may be set in advance in a program, and the set condition may be input. This search condition is, for example,
The information includes "registration date", "medical department", "type of medical care", "patient number", "test instruction", and the like. And client 7
Sends a search instruction request to each of the servers 1, 3, and 5 (step S13). In response to the search request from the client, each of the servers 1, 3, and 5 searches the summary information file stored in the disk device or the memory based on the input search condition (step S15). Each server 1,
3 and 5 send the contents of the record corresponding to the search condition to the requesting client 7, and the client 7 receiving the search result displays a list of patients scheduled for medical treatment on the day as shown in FIG. ) Is displayed near the corresponding patient name. This allows the physician to see at a glance which of the patients treated on the day have increased the test results, and at the doctor's discretion, recruits the patients with the higher test results and further examines them. It can be performed. Therefore, for example, prompt and accurate medical treatment can be performed for a patient who needs urgency.

Furthermore, when the "check" mark 25 shown in FIG. 7 is clicked, the detailed contents of the check result are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when an event occurs due to a mouse click on the “test” mark 25 in step S31, the client 7 changes the patient number of the patient corresponding to the clicked “test” mark in step S33. As a keyword, a storage device (not shown) in the client 7 is searched, and “medical department”, “type of instruction”, and “contents of instruction” are read. Then, in step S35, as shown in FIG. 7, a window 2 of "medical department", "type of instruction", and "instruction content" is displayed on the display screen of the list of medical patients on the day.
7 is displayed in a pop-up.

Next, the deletion process will be described. As described above, the summary information is created in the disk device or the memory of each of the servers 1, 3, and 5 shown in FIG. If such summary information is stored in the storage device forever,
With a huge amount of storage and slow search speed,
The memory capacity may be insufficient. For this reason, in the present invention, unnecessary summary information registered in the past for a predetermined number of days or more is deleted. Since the same content as the deleted content is registered in the master file, there is no risk of harm to the business even if the content of the summary information is deleted.

In step S41 of FIG. 9, the client 7 inputs "registration date", "medical department", "designated date", "type of medical care", "instruction contents", "patient number", and "examiner" as search conditions. It transmits to each server 1,3,5. Thus, each of the servers 1, 3, and 5 searches the summary information stored in the disk devices 13, 15, 17 or the memory based on the input search condition. If there is a record that satisfies the condition, the record is deleted from the summary information (steps S47 and S49).

In the above-described embodiment, different servers are configured to execute the processes for the sample test, the image test, and the physiological test. However, one server integrally performs the sample test, the image test, and the physiological test. The inspection processing may be configured to be performed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the character "test" is displayed to indicate that the test is completed. However, the character may be displayed using other marks or colors. For example, the display may be performed using different colors depending on the type of the sample. Further, the inspection order may be determined in advance, and the progress of the inspection may be estimated from the display of the currently displayed inspection result.

[0020]

According to the present invention, every time a doctor displays a patient list on the day of medical treatment on the screen, the "test" is sequentially displayed in the vicinity of the corresponding patient name in order from the completed examination result instructed on that day. Since the mark is displayed, the doctor can confirm the completion of the examination at a glance without separately displaying the medical care screen of the patient who instructed the examination. For this reason, it is possible to quickly carry out a treatment particularly for a patient who needs urgency.
