[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, medical information such as a diagnosis policy and a treatment policy is individually managed by each doctor. Therefore, when a doctor has a question about a patient's symptom etc., he has acquired necessary medical information by asking another doctor a question using a telephone or E-MAIL.

However, when attempting to acquire medical information as described above, necessary medical information is acquired, for example, a question must be asked to several other doctors before the necessary medical information is acquired. It often takes a lot of time and effort to do so. In order to solve such a problem, there is a system in which a database is installed outside the clinic and the medical information of a plurality of clinics is stored in the database. Further, in a system having a database for accumulating medical information outside the clinic, when a medical institution introduces a patient to another medical institution, the server of the clinic accesses the database via the referral patient server. There is also a system that can retrieve necessary medical information (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-143956).

[0004]

By the way, when the medical information of the clinic is stored in the database installed outside the clinic, the medical information is placed outside the clinic and is included in the medical information. It is difficult to properly protect the personal information of patients. Further, since the medical information in a plurality of clinics is intensively accumulated, there is a problem that the search target becomes enormous and it takes time to obtain the search result. In addition, a large amount of cost is required to construct and manage a system for centrally accumulating and managing enormous amounts of medical information.

The output unit 32 for performing is connected.
The other clinic servers 2b to 2i are the clinic servers 2
The description is omitted because it has the same configuration as a.

The electronic medical record stored in the above-mentioned electronic medical record database 24 is an electronic version of a conventional paper medical record, and has the same contents as the conventional paper medical record. That is, as shown in FIG.
The date of consultation, whether it is the first visit or re-examination, the symptoms the patient has complained (main complaint), the doctor's findings, prescriptions, treatments, and their details are described.

The search condition card is a card sent by the doctor to the inquiry server 6 in order to search for necessary medical information, that is, an item (medical information) described in the electronic medical record as a keyword. , A card that is created by using items (medical information) not entered in the electronic medical record as search items. FIG. 4 shows an example of the search condition card. This search condition card shows the main complaint (C (A)), findings (P1 (A), P2) entered in the electronic medical record.
(A)) is used as a keyword, and treatment (R (X)) and prescription (P (X)) are created as search items. Also,
In this search condition card, a search range input area 52 for inputting a range to be searched, such as a consultation period, which can be arbitrarily designated by a doctor performing a search, and a group of clinic servers transmitting the search condition card There is provided a clinic range input area 54 for inputting, and a search result number input area 56 for inputting the upper limit of the required number of search results or the transmission unit. Further, the ID number given to each card and the transmission destination (E-MAIL address etc.) of the search result are described.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the inquiry server 6 installed outside the clinic. The inquiry server 6
This data processing unit 4 is provided with a data processing unit 40 that performs processing such as transmitting a search condition card to the clinic server.
In 0, a group table 42 that stores groups of clinic servers, an ID number of a search condition card, and an ID that stores a transmitted range group that has transmitted the search condition card
A communication control unit 46 that controls communication between the number management table 44 and the clinic servers 2a to 2i is connected.

The group table 42 is used by the inquiry server 6
Further, the priority order of the group in which the clinic server connected via the Internet 4 is classified into a predetermined group and the group in which the search condition card is transmitted corresponding to the classified group is stored. The classification of this group is
It is performed based on the specialty of the doctor, such as internal medicine and surgery, and the medical association to which the doctor belongs, such as the Chiyoda Ward Medical Association or the university where the doctor came from.

In this medical information retrieval system, as shown in FIG. 6, the clinic servers 2a to 2c belong to the group 1, the clinic servers 2d to 2f belong to the group 2, and the clinic servers 2g to 2i belong to the group 3. It is classified. Further, the priority order of the groups, that is, the priority order of the groups transmitting the search condition card is set in group units. In each group, the priority of its own group is set to the highest. For example, in the group 1, the group having the highest priority order is the group 1, the group having the second highest priority order is the group 3, and the next is the group 2.

As shown in FIG. 7, the ID number management table 44 stores the ID number of the received search condition card,
The transmitted range group that has already transmitted the search condition card, that is, the group of the clinic server that has transmitted the search condition card is stored in association with this ID number.

Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, a process for creating an electronic medical record and a search condition card, which is performed in the clinic server 2a of the medical information search system, will be described.

First, necessary items for creating an electronic medical record are input via the input unit 22 (step S10), and an electronic medical record is created (step S11). That is, an electronic medical chart input screen for inputting necessary items is displayed on the display unit 28 (see FIG. 3), and the date of consultation, whether first visit or revisit, whether the patient complained (main complaint), doctor's findings, etc. Create an electronic medical record by entering the necessary items to fill in the electronic medical record. A search condition card creation button 50 is also displayed on the screen on which the electronic medical record is displayed. And
The created electronic medical record is stored in the electronic medical record database 24 (step S12).

Next, when the search condition card creation button 50 is clicked with a mouse or the like (step S1
4) A search condition card is created based on the currently displayed electronic medical record (step S15). That is, in the electronic medical record created in step S11,
A search condition card is created based on the electronic medical record displayed on the display unit 28. For example, when a search condition card is created based on an electronic medical record as shown in FIG. 3, that is, an electronic medical record in which the main complaint, findings, etc. are input but the prescription and treatment are not input, the main complaint (C (A)) and findings (P1 (A), P2 (A)) are used as keywords to create a search condition card for searching for treatment (R (x)) and prescription (P (x)).

Next, the search condition card created in step S15 is displayed on the display unit 28 (step S1).
6). In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the search condition card includes
The E-MAIL address of the clinic A is automatically written as the search result transmission destination. Also, in the search condition card,
A unique ID number is assigned to each search condition card.
This ID number is the clinic number of the clinic A, for example, 001.
And a unique number assigned to each card, for example 002
The search condition card ID number is 001-0023.

Next, the search conditions, that is, the medical examination period and the disease range for performing the search (search range), the group of clinic servers transmitting the search condition card (clinic range), and the upper limit of the required number of search results or Required items are input from the transmission unit and the like (the number of search results) (step S17). That is, FIG.
The necessary items are input into the search range input area 52, the clinic range input area 54, and the search result number input area 56 shown in FIG. Here, the search range is, for example, as a consultation period from October 2000 to Heisei 1
Enter September 3rd, and enter the clinic range as the group number of the clinic server that transmits the search condition card, for example, group 3. The number of search results is the number of search results required by the doctor who is performing the search, and is, for example, “500” as the upper limit of the search results or “send every 10” as the transmission unit of the search results. input. It should be noted that the input of these search conditions is arbitrary, so input only when necessary.

Then, the created search condition card is transmitted to the inquiry server 6 via the communication control unit 30 (step S18). The search condition card is transmitted by clicking the send button 58 displayed together with the search condition card with a mouse or the like. When transmitting the search condition card, the search condition card is stored in the search result storage unit 26 (step S19).

If the search condition card is not created after creating the electronic medical record (step S14), that is,
If the search condition card creation button 50 has not been clicked using the mouse or the like, the processing ends.

Next, with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 9, a search condition card transmission process performed in the inquiry server will be described.

First, the search condition card transmitted from the clinic server 2a is received via the communication control unit 46 (step S20), and the ID number of the received search condition card is inquired (step S21). That is, it is queried whether the ID number attached to the received search condition card exists in the ID number management table 44.

If the same ID number does not exist in the ID number management table 44 (step S22), the ID number is stored in the ID number management table 44 (step S23). That is, the ID number of the received search condition card, in this case, the ID numbers 001-0023 is stored in the ID number management table 44.

Next, when the clinic range is input in the clinic range input area 54 of the received search condition card (step S24), the designated clinic range, that is, the clinic of the designated group. The search condition card is transmitted to the server (step S25). For example, when group 3 is described in the clinic range input area 54, clinic servers classified into group 3 in the group table 42 shown in FIG. 6, that is, clinic server 2g, clinic server The search condition card is transmitted to 2h and the clinic server 2i. Then, the group of clinics to which the search condition card is transmitted is stored as a transmitted range group in the ID number management table 44 in association with the ID number of the search condition card (step S26).

On the other hand, when the clinic range is not entered in the clinic range input area 54 (step S24),
Referring to the group table 42 (step S27),
The search condition card is transmitted to the clinic servers in the same group as the clinic server 2a (step S28). In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the clinic server 2a, the clinic server 2b, and the clinic server 2c are classified into the same group. Therefore, a clinic server other than the clinic server 2a, that is, the clinic server 2b and the clinic server 2
The search condition card is transmitted to c. Then, the group 1 that has transmitted the search condition card is stored as a transmitted range group in the ID number management table 44 in association with the ID number of the search condition card (step S26).

I inquired in step S21 described above
The same ID number as the D number is the ID number management table 44.
When the search condition card is transmitted again (step S22), the transmitted range group stored in the ID number management table 44 is referred to (step S29). In this case, the transmitted range group stored in the ID number management table 44 shown in FIG. 7, that is, the group of clinic servers that have already transmitted the search condition card with the ID number 001-0023 is referred to.

Next, the priority order of the groups in the group table 42 is referred to (step S30), and step S29.
The search condition card is transmitted to a predetermined clinic server based on the transmitted range group and the priority order of the groups referred to in step S31. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the ID number management table 44 stores groups 1 and 3 as the transmitted range groups of the ID numbers 001-0023. Therefore, from the group priority order 3 → 2 of the group table 42 shown in FIG. 6, the clinic server of the group 2 in which the group priority order is set next to the group 1 and the group 3, that is, the clinic server 2g, The search condition card is transmitted to the clinic server 2h and the clinic server 2i. Then, the group of the clinic server that has transmitted the search condition card this time, that is, the group 2 as the transmitted range group, has the ID number, in this case, the ID number 001-0.
023 is stored in the ID number management table 44 (step S26).

Next, with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 10, the search processing performed in the clinic server that has received the search condition card will be described.

First, the search condition card transmitted from the inquiry server 6 is received (step S40), and is stored in the electronic medical record database according to the keyword of the received search condition card and the search condition if specified. Medical information is searched based on the electronic medical record (step S41). In this case, a case in which the chief complaint and the finding are the same is searched using the chief complaint and the finding as keywords.

When a case in which the keywords match is retrieved (step S42), the retrieval result is transmitted to the transmission source clinic server of the retrieval condition card (step S4).
3). In this case, the retrieved prescriptions and treatments are used as a search result card for each case, and the same ID number as the received search condition card is given to this search result card and transmitted to the clinic server 2a. . That is, the search condition card
EM of clinic A listed as the destination of search results
AIL address “Ahospital @ A-hospi
tal. ne. jp ”.

On the other hand, when there is no case in which the keywords match (step S42), the search result indicating that there is no corresponding case is transmitted to the clinic server 2a which is the transmission source clinic server (step S42). S44). A search result indicating that there is no corresponding case is also sent with the same ID number as the search condition card as the search result card.

Next, with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 11, the processing performed in the clinic server that has received the search result will be described.

First, the search result transmitted from another clinic server is received (step S50), and the received search result is stored in the search result storage unit 26 (step S51).
That is, the received search result card is stored in association with the same ID number as the search condition card. Further, the number of received search results, that is, the number of received search result cards is counted and stored in association with the ID number.

Next, it is determined whether or not the number of search results is less than or equal to the designated number (step S52). For example, ID number 00
If "50" is entered in the search result number input area 56 of the search condition card 1-0023 and the search result number is designated as 50, the number of search results stored in the search result storage unit 26 is It is judged whether it is 50 or less.

When the number of search results is less than or equal to the designated number (step S52), that is, when the required number of search results has not been obtained, the same search condition card is sent again to the inquiry server 6. Yes (step S53).

On the other hand, when the number of search results is not less than the specified number (step S52), that is, when the required number of search results is obtained, the process of transmitting the search condition card is ended and the received search result is obtained. Perform the aggregation process of. That is, the prescriptions and treatments are totaled, the totaled prescriptions and treatments are stored in the search result storage unit 26 in association with the search condition card, and the totalization result is output via the output unit 32 when necessary. For example, the treatment for the case where the chief complaint is "empty cough" and the findings are "pharyngeal redness" and "moist rale" is 40 for "nebulizer".
8 cases, "no treatment", 2 cases "other", prescription,
38 items are output for "bisorbon", 10 items for "antibiotic", and 2 items for "none".

According to the medical information retrieval system of this embodiment, the clinic server 2a transmits the retrieval condition card to the inquiry server 6, and the inquiry server 6 sends the retrieval server to the clinic servers classified into a predetermined group. A search condition card is sent to the user. Therefore, since the search condition card is transmitted to an appropriately classified clinic server such as a clinic where the diagnosis policy and the treatment policy are the same, it is possible to quickly obtain the necessary search results. . Therefore, appropriate medical treatment can be performed based on the search result.

Further, the inquiry server 6 stores the clinic server which has already transmitted the search condition card in association with the unique ID number attached to the search condition card. When the search condition cards having the same ID number are received, the group table 42 and I
With reference to the D number management table 44, the search condition card is transmitted to the clinic server having the highest priority among the groups of clinic servers that have not yet transmitted the search condition card. Therefore, the required search result can be efficiently and easily obtained.

Since the medical information to be searched is stored in the clinic server installed in each clinic, the personal information of the patient is not stored outside the clinic, and the patient's personal information is not stored. Information can be properly protected.

In this embodiment, the medical information written in the electronic medical chart is used as a keyword to search for medical information not written in the electronic medical chart. Based on the information
The doctor may be allowed to arbitrarily specify the keyword. Alternatively, the search may be performed by combining keywords arbitrarily specified by the doctor (by specifying and / or).

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, similar cases may be searched for. That is, by setting the medical information to be searched by the doctor arbitrarily, a search for healing cases, invariant cases, and exacerbation cases of similar cases is performed to determine whether the prescription and treatment are appropriate, based on the prescription and treatment. You may be able to confirm the effect.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the items entered in the electronic medical record are used as the keyword as they are, but after the keyword is converted into a uniform code in the inquiry server, it is sent to the clinic server. You may make it transmit it. That is, the inquiry server has a term conversion table in which terms used in the main complaint, finding, prescription, and treatment are associated with a uniform code, and the keywords of the search condition card received in this term conversion table are converted into a uniform code. After conversion, it is sent to the clinic server. The clinic server connected to the inquiry server also has a term conversion table for converting the uniform code into the term used in the clinic, and the term conversion table is used to transmit the term conversion table. You may make it search after converting the code of a search condition card into the term used in the clinic.
