Then, based on the inspection data, FIG.
Can be displayed on the display device 26 of each terminal 20 as shown in FIG. Thus, the patient code, the patient name, and the test result are displayed.

Here, the inspection results are grouped into predetermined groups. That is, group name 1
In contrast, five inspection items are grouped, and inspection result data is displayed for each inspection item. In this example, inspection result data for a plurality of dates is displayed as a table. Then, the group name is displayed for each group, and the item name is displayed for each item.

In the inspection result table 14c, only inspection items and inspection result data are stored, and there is no data such as inspection item names, group names, and grouping. These are obtained by referring to the inspection master table 14b and the inspection group master table 14a.

In the inspection master table 14b, an item number uniquely assigned to each inspection item, an ID number of a group into which the inspection item is grouped, an inspection item code defining an analyte and a measurement method, an inspection item code, The item names and the display order within the group are stored. The examination group master table 14a stores an examination group ID number, a group name, and a group display order. Here, the display order within a group indicates, for example, in which order the five item names of group 1 shown in FIG. 2 are displayed from the top. The display order of the groups means the display order of group 1, group 2,... In FIG.

The processing unit 12 recognizes the inspection item name, the group to which the inspection item belongs, the group ID number, and the display order within the group by referring to the inspection master table 14b. From the number, the group name and the display order of the groups are recognized from the inspection group master table 14a. Thus, the display shown in FIG. 2 can be performed from the test results stored in the test result table 14c.

Here, in the present embodiment, the grouping, the display order within the group, the group name, the group display order, and the like can be changed.

Therefore, the inspection result can be easily viewed. In addition, since the grouping can be changed arbitrarily, and the group name, the display order of the group, and the display order of the inspection items in the group can be changed,
The display screen can be customized according to the user's request, and the screen can be more easily viewed.

It is preferable to use a code of the Japanese Society of Clinical Pathology as a test item code attached to each test item. This code is a 17 digit code, (1) analyte code (5 digits), (2) identification code (4 digits),
(3) Material code (3 digits), (4) Measurement method code (3
Digits) and (5) result identification code (two digits). And 5 for the analyte code
The first digit of the character string of the digits indicates a large classification, and the second digit indicates a middle classification.

Therefore, the inspection items can be surely classified by using this code. The test group can also collect several middle classifications to form appropriate names, use the large classifications and the middle classifications as they are, and use the group names as the large classifications and the middle classifications as they are.

For example, the first two digits (up to the middle class) of the analyte code are used for grouping, and the two digits from the top of the analyte code are input in the analysis code box on the screen of FIG. Is preferred. Note that "1" in the first digit of the analyte code indicates a major classification "general test", "2" indicates a hematological test, and "3" indicates a biochemical test. In the general test where the first digit is “1”, if the second digit is “A”, “urine general test”, “B” indicates fecal test, and “C” indicates “cerebrospinal fluid test”. Therefore, by inputting "1A" in the analysis code box, a urine general test of a general test can be assigned to the group.
