[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, when a patient is introduced from a clinic or other medical institution to a large-scale hospital, a paper referral letter is prepared according to a predetermined format. At the hospital that receives this referral, the patient is registered, a new chart is issued, and the referral is inserted in the chart and delivered to the clinic where the doctor in charge is. In addition, in hospitals where a hospital information system is in place, the operator can manually register the referral information in the medical accounting system, etc., so that the doctor in charge can call and confirm the contents from the terminal. ing. Furthermore, regarding the medium of the letter of introduction, many examples have been proposed from conventional papers, such as offline media storing electronic data and further sending electronic data online. .

[0003]

However, as described above, in the clinic or other medical institutions,
Since a paper referral is generally created, there is a possibility that an omission or an entry error may occur when creating this referral. In addition, at the hospital that receives this referral, since it is common for the operator to manually enter the information described in the referral, when entering the information described in this referral, There was a possibility of input omissions and input errors.

Furthermore, when examining a patient referred by a referral letter, there is no way to know whether or not the patient has come to the hospital with a referral letter until the patient looks at the chart before the examination. However, there are situations where it is not possible to confirm the contents of the letter of introduction until you actually see the medical record. Even if the referral information is registered in the hospital information system, the patient's screen will be displayed to display the referral contents. It is not possible to know whether or not the patient is a patient who came to the hospital with a referral letter until a screen showing information on the referral letter is opened. Further, in order to confirm the content, an operation of opening a screen showing the content of the letter of introduction from there is necessary, which interrupts the thinking of the doctor. Furthermore, if such an operation was not performed, even a patient who came to the hospital with a referral letter could overlook it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to prevent omissions and mistakes in creating referral letters in a clinic or other medical institutions. Also, it is possible to prevent input omissions and input errors when inputting referral information at the hospital that received the referral, and further refer to the presence or absence of a referral and referral information by simply referring to the patient list. It is possible to list whether or not it has been completed, and for patients with a referral letter, the setting to automatically display the referral letter information only at the first visit eliminates the operation of displaying referral letter information by the doctor's operation. At the same time, you can avoid the risk of overlooking the referral letter, and by setting that referral information is not automatically displayed from the time of re-examination, the referral information is automatically displayed each time a patient is selected. It is to provide a hospital information system that can be eliminated.
