Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hospital, mainly a clinic,
The present invention relates to a patient information management system in a small hospital such as a clinic or clinic.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a hospital, a medical record is created for a patient who has undergone medical examination and treatment.
In addition, various tests such as blood tests and X-ray imaging are performed as necessary.However, regarding patient information such as these medical records, test sheets, and X-ray films, it is possible to There is an obligation to keep this for a certain period of time.

[0003]

However, there is a problem in that such patient information becomes enormous when considering the number of patients and the number of years of storage, and a large amount of space is required even just for storage. Also, when sorting and organizing these patient information for each patient or each year, it is difficult to file because the patient information is displayed on a paper or film, and it takes a lot of time and effort. However, there is a problem that it may be lost, and in particular, when it is taken out, it is difficult to know where it is stored, and it takes a long time to take it out, which is a very troublesome work.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and by using a personal computer to store patient information, a storage space is not required and the organization is simple. Moreover, it is an object to provide a patient information management system that can be taken out easily in a short time when necessary.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the patient information management system (claim 1) of the present invention comprises:
The information administrator side saves the patient information for each patient provided by the hospital side that owns the patient information as an image on the external hard disk, and connects the saved external hard disk storing this patient information to the personal computer on the hospital side. Then, using this personal computer, if necessary, a specific patient is searched from the patient information for each patient saved in the external hard disk where information has been entered, and the patient information for that specific patient is displayed on the display. Configured to be able to.

In this patient information management system, there is a mode (claim 2) in which the patient information includes a medical record image, a medical examination image, and an X-ray film image as medical information.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A patient information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of information in the patient information management system of the present invention.

This patient information management system is a system for managing patient information about individual patients who have undergone medical examination and treatment using a personal computer (desktop personal computer, notebook personal computer) and an external hard disk.

The flow of patient information will be described with reference to FIG. On the hospital side, medical records are created as medical records for individual patients who have undergone medical examination treatment, and if necessary, various tests such as blood tests and radiographs are performed. The patient information 10 such as X-ray film is provided to the information manager side from the hospital side that owns the patient information 10.

[0010] Patient information such as a medical record, inspection sheet, and X-ray film provided to the information management company in this way 10
Is managed by a bar code label for each sheet, and is imaged on the information manager side by the input device 11 such as a film digitizer or a high quality digital camera, and the imaged patient information is recorded on the personal computer 12. After being organized, it is stored in an external hard disk 13 as a storage device connected to a personal computer.

The stored external hard disk 13 in which the patient information 10 is stored as an image in the information management company as described above is removed from the personal computer 12 on the information manager side, provided to the hospital side, and installed on the hospital side. It is connected to the personal computer 14 that was created.
