  The present invention relates to a medical practice management technique, and more particularly, to a medical practice management method for confirming a patient who is a target of a medical practice, and a portable terminal device, a management server, and a medical practice management system using the medical practice management method.

Since medical practices such as surgery and medication include parts made by people, there is a possibility that medical errors will occur. Therefore, in general, in the medical field, a rule is set so that double checks are made by different nurses when instilling or injecting a patient. However, by executing such rules, the duties of nurses and the like become even more busy. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, an identification number is assigned to a patient in advance, and the relationship between the identification number and a medicine to be given to the patient is used as a database. The patient is also given an identification number by a predetermined means. In such a configuration, when performing the medication, the nurse reads the identification number possessed by the patient by the handy terminal. Further, the identification number is transmitted to a computer holding the database. The computer refers to the database and notifies the nurse of the medicine corresponding to the identification number.
