Description

  The present disclosure relates to an information display program for displaying information, an information display device, and an information display method.

  In recent years, in medical institutions, electronic medical record systems have been introduced that digitize and manage paper medical records on which doctors have entered the progress of medical care. The electronic medical record system has a function of displaying summary information summarizing past medical treatment contents for the purpose of allowing a user (for example, a doctor) to quickly grasp a patient's situation.

  However, the summary information to be displayed is various such as the patient's prescription history, treatment history, injection history, and various examination results. For this reason, it is often impossible to display all summary information on one screen. Therefore, conventionally, various techniques for improving the convenience of the user when browsing the information displayed on the display screen have been disclosed.

  Specifically, for example, in an electrocardiogram analysis report, a conventional technique for displaying cases estimated from analysis results so that the severity can be intuitively grasped rather than simply arranging numerical values obtained by analysis (For example, refer to Patent Document 1 below.)

  In general, “patient” refers to a sick person or an injured person. However, in the description in this specification, it includes healthy persons such as pregnant women and medical checkup subjects, and is an object of inputting medical record data in an electronic medical record system. The persons are collectively referred to as “patients” for convenience of explanation.

  However, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1 described above, in order to display information that cannot be displayed on one screen, a screen operation such as scrolling the display content is required. In particular, when a large amount of information is browsed, the number of screen operations increases, which is a very troublesome task for the user.

  In addition, when necessary information is not displayed on the screen, the user searches the information by scrolling the display content. However, in many cases, the user does not know where the hidden information is in the hidden part, and there is a problem that it may take time to browse the information.

  The present disclosure provides an information display program, an information display device, and an information display method capable of improving the listability of information groups that cannot be displayed on one screen in order to solve the above-described problems caused by the conventional technology. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the present disclosure technique acquires an information group to be displayed, a display order of the acquired information group, and one screen of a display area for displaying the information The information group is classified into first information to be displayed in the display area and second information not to be displayed in the display area based on the number of displays that can be displayed on the display area. The second information is simplified and associated with a symbol, the first information is displayed in the display area in the screen, and the second information is displayed in a remaining area different from the display area in the screen. A symbol associated with the information is displayed.

  According to the present disclosure, the second information that cannot be displayed on one screen can be displayed on the display screen together with the first information as a symbol that can be intuitively recognized.

  According to the information display program, the information display device, and the information display method, it is possible to improve the listability of information groups that cannot be displayed on one screen.

First, an overview of this display method will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the present display method. In FIG. 1, information groups A to D are information groups to be displayed, and are information groups whose display size is larger than the screen size of the display screen 100. Moreover, the display order when displaying on the display screen 100 is set to the information groups A to D. However, the display order of the information groups A to D is set each time according to the attributes of the viewer, the contents of each information, and the like.

  The windows 101 and 102 in the display screen 100 are display areas for displaying information A to D. The information groups A to D are displayed in the windows 101 and 102 in order from the information with the earlier display order. Here, information A is displayed in window 101 and information B is displayed in window 102.

  On the other hand, for information C and D that are not displayed in the windows 101 and 102, buttons 103 and 104 that represent the information C and D in a simplified manner are displayed on the display screen 100. That is, in this display method, information C and D that cannot be displayed on one screen among the information groups A to D are buttoned and displayed on the display screen 100.

  As a result, the listability of the information groups A to D is improved, and the user can intuitively grasp the entire information groups A to D. Further, by clicking the buttons 103 and 104 by user operation input, the hidden information C and D can be displayed in a pop-up manner.

  For example, the information C that is not displayed can be displayed in a pop-up on the window 106 by clicking the button 103. Thereby, in order to display the non-display information C and D, a troublesome screen operation for scrolling the display contents becomes unnecessary, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

(Functional configuration of information display device)
Next, a functional configuration of the information display device 200 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the information display device. 3, the information display apparatus 200 includes a reception unit 301, an acquisition unit 302, a classification unit 303, an association unit 304, a determination unit 305, a creation unit 306, a calculation unit 307, a setting unit 308, And a display unit 309. Specifically, the functions (accepting unit 301 to display unit 309) serving as the control unit are, for example, a program stored in a storage device such as the ROM 202, RAM 203, magnetic disk 205, and optical disc 207 shown in FIG. The function is realized by executing the function or by the I / F 209.

  The receiving unit 301 has a function of receiving an instruction to display an information group. Here, the information group is an arbitrary information group displayed on the display 208, and particularly has a display size larger than the screen size of the display 208. Specifically, for example, the reception unit 301 may receive an instruction to display an information group by a user operation input using the keyboard 210 or the mouse 211. The received reception result is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  The acquisition unit 302 has a function of acquiring an information group to be displayed. Specifically, for example, when the acquisition unit 302 receives an instruction to display an information group, the information group to be displayed is acquired by extraction from a database or a library. The acquisition unit 302 may acquire an information group from an external computer device via the I / F 209 illustrated in FIG. Further, the acquisition unit 302 may acquire an information group by a user operation input using the keyboard 210 or the mouse 211.

  In the following description, the summary information group related to the electronic medical record in the electronic medical record system will be described as an example of the information group to be displayed.

  Here, the electronic medical chart system is a system that electronically manages a paper medical chart in which a doctor has entered the progress of medical care in a medical institution. The summary information is information for each medical treatment item that summarizes the medical treatment contents of the patient. The medical treatment items are items classified according to the content of medical treatment performed on the patient, and include, for example, prescription, treatment, injection, specimen inspection, and radiological examination.

  Specifically, for example, the acquisition unit 302 acquires summary information on the contents of medical treatment performed on the patient for each medical treatment item included in the electronic medical record of the patient. More specifically, for example, the acquisition unit 302 accesses the various history DBs (databases) shown in FIG. 4 and extracts the records corresponding to the patient IDs of the patients, thereby acquiring summary information for each medical treatment item. You may decide to do it.

  Here, the contents stored in the various history DBs will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in various history DBs. In FIG. 4, various history DBs are configured to include a prescription history DB 410, a treatment history DB 420, an injection history DB 430, a specimen test DB 440, and a radiation test DB 450.

  The prescription history DB 410 is a database that stores a prescription history for each patient. The treatment history DB 420 is a database that stores a treatment history for each patient. The injection history DB 430 is a database that stores an injection history for each patient. The specimen test DB 440 is a database that stores the result of the specimen test for each patient. The radiation examination DB 450 is a database that stores the results of the radiation examination for each patient.

  Here, taking the prescription history DB 410 as an example, the prescription history DB 410 has fields of patient ID, prescription date, drug name, usage, and prescription days. By setting information in each field, the prescription history for each patient is stored as a record. The patient ID is a patient identifier. The prescription date is the date on which the drug is prescribed to the patient. The drug name is the name of the medicine prescribed to the patient. A usage is a method of using a pharmaceutical product. The prescription day is the number of administration days of the medicine.

  Here, taking the prescription history 411 as an example, “Mukosta” and “Buffalin” of “10 days” are prescribed for “February 10, 2008” for the patient P1. The usage of the drugs “Mucosta” and “Buffaline” is “3 tablets once a day”.

  That is, the acquisition unit 302 can acquire summary information for each medical item by accessing the various history DBs and extracting a record corresponding to the patient ID of the patient. The patient ID is specified in advance and stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  Here, summary information of the patient P1 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the summary information group. In FIG. 5, summary information S1 to S5 is information that summarizes the contents of medical care performed on the patient P1 for each medical care item. Taking the summary information S1 as an example, a medicine prescribed for the patient P1 is shown.

  Specifically, the summary information S1 is a list of records corresponding to the patient ID “P1” extracted from the prescription history DB 410. The acquired summary information is given a file name and stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, for example.

  The classification unit 303 has a function of classifying the acquired summary information group into first summary information that is displayed in a specific display area and second summary information that is not displayed in a specific display area. Here, the specific display area is, for example, a window in the screen for displaying summary information (for example, the windows 101 and 102 shown in FIG. 1).

  Specifically, for example, the classification unit 303 classifies the summary information group into first and second summary information based on the display order of the summary information group and the number of windows that can be displayed on one screen. . Here, the number of displayed windows is preset and stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, for example.

  More specifically, for example, the classification unit 303 classifies the summary information for the number of display windows in the order from the earliest display order into the first summary information, and the remaining summary information as the second summary information. Classify. The classified results are stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  The determination unit 305 has a function of determining the display order of the summary information group. Specifically, for example, the determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information group based on the viewer (for example, a doctor) and the attributes of the summary information. The determined determination result is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207. A detailed description of the method for determining the display order of the summary information group will be described later.

  The associating unit 304 has a function of associating the classified second summary information with a symbol that simplifies and represents the second summary information. Here, the symbol is an icon or a character string that allows the user to intuitively determine the attribute (medical item) of the second summary information. Information about symbols is stored in, for example, a symbol table 600 (see FIG. 6).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the symbol table. In FIG. 6, a symbol table 600 has fields for medical items, symbol IDs, and display contents. By setting information in each field, information on symbols for each medical item is stored as a record.

  The medical treatment item is a medical treatment item of summary information. The symbol ID is a symbol identifier. The display content is display data representing a character string obtained by simplifying the summary information. The symbol table 600 is stored in a storage device such as the ROM 202, the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  Specifically, for example, first, the associating unit 304 refers to the symbol table 600 and specifies a symbol corresponding to the medical item of the second summary information. Thereafter, the associating unit 304 associates the second summary information with the identified symbol. More specifically, for example, the associating unit 304 may associate the file name of the second summary information with the identified symbol.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of an association result table. In FIG. 7, the association result table 700 includes fields for medical items, symbol IDs, display contents, and file names. By setting information in each field, the association result is stored as a record.

  The medical treatment item is a medical treatment item of the summary information classified into the second summary information. The symbol ID is an identifier of a symbol that represents the second summary information in a simplified manner. The display content is display data representing a character string obtained by simplifying the second summary information. The file name is a file name given to the summary information. The association result table 700 is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 3, the display unit 309 has a function of displaying the first summary information and the symbols associated with the second summary information on the display 208. Specifically, for example, the display unit 309 displays the first summary information in a specific display area in the screen and displays symbols in a remaining area different from the specific display area in the screen.

  The creation unit 306 has a function of creating a summary screen that summarizes and displays the patient's electronic medical record. Specifically, for example, the creation unit 306 creates a summary screen by embedding the first summary information in the screen template and embedding symbols that represent the second summary information in a simplified manner.

  Here, a screen template used for creating a summary screen will be described. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen template. In the screen template 800, windows W1 to W3 are display areas for displaying the first summary information. The button windows BW1 and BW2 are display areas for displaying symbols representing the second summary information in a simplified manner.

  Further, priorities are set for the windows W1 to W3 and the button windows BW1 and BW2. Here, the priority order of the windows W1 to W3 is set to “W1 → W2 → W3”, and the priority order of the button windows BW1 and BW2 is set to “BW1 → BW2”.

  That is, the creation unit 306 creates a summary screen by embedding the first summary information in the windows W1 to W3 of the screen template 800 and embedding the symbols in the button windows BW1 and BW2. At this time, summary information with a fast display order is embedded in the windows W1 to W3 and the button windows BW1 and BW2 having a high priority.

  In this case, the display unit 309 displays the created summary screen on the display 208. A specific example of the summary screen will be described later with reference to FIG. The screen template 800 is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  In addition, the reception unit 301 has a function of receiving a display instruction for the second summary information associated with the symbol as a result of displaying the summary screen. Specifically, for example, the accepting unit 301 accepts a second information display instruction by clicking a button-like symbol by a user operation input using the keyboard 210 or the mouse 211.

  In addition, the display unit 309 has a function of displaying the second information associated with the symbol on the display 208 when an instruction to display the second summary information is received. Specifically, for example, the display unit 309 refers to the association result table 700 and reads the summary information S2 of the file name associated with the clicked symbol M2 from the storage device. Then, the display unit 309 pops up the summary information S2 in an arbitrary area in the summary screen.

(Method for determining display order of summary information group)
Next, a method for determining the display order of the summary information group will be described. The display order of the summary information group is dynamically determined based on the attributes of the user and each summary information. Here, taking the summary information groups S1 to S5 of the patient P1 as an example, the first to fourth determination methods will be described.

(First determination method)
The determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information S1 to S5 group based on the attributes for each of the summary information S1 to S5. Specifically, for example, the determination unit 305 may determine the summary information with the latest update date and time in an early order, or may determine summary information with a large amount of data in an early order.

  Thereby, summary information with a new update date and a large amount of data can be preferentially displayed on the windows W1 to W3.

(Second determination method)
The determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 based on the main disease name of the patient P1. Here, first, the contents stored in the disease name table and the order count DB used for the determination process will be described. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the disease name table. In FIG. 9, a disease name table 900 has fields for patient ID, main disease name, name, date of birth, and gender. By setting information in each field, disease name information 900-1 to 900-n for each patient is stored as a record.

  The patient ID is a patient identifier. The main disease name is the name of the patient's disease or symptom. The name is the name of the patient. The date of birth is the date of birth of the patient. Gender is the gender of the patient. Taking the disease name information 900-1 as an example, the main disease name of the patient P1 is “I1”, the name is “Yoshida Yoshisaku”, the date of birth is “September 20, 1930”, and the gender is “male”. is there.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the order count DB. In FIG. 10, the order count DB 1000 includes fields for a main disease name, a prescription count, a treatment count, an injection count, a specimen test count, and a radiological test count. By setting information in each field, order information 1000-1 to 1000-m for each main disease name is stored as a record.

  The main disease name is the name of the disease or symptom. The number of prescriptions is the number of orders for prescribing medicines to patients. The number of treatments is the number of orders in which treatment is performed on a patient. The number of injections refers to the number of orders for which injection has been performed on the patient. The number of specimen examinations is the number of times the specimen examination has been performed on the patient. The number of times of radiological examination is the number of times of performing radiological examination on a patient.

  Here, taking the order information 1000-1 as an example, the number of orders for each medical treatment content performed on a patient diagnosed with the main disease name I1 is stored. Specifically, the number of prescriptions is 200, the number of treatments is 20, the number of injections is 50, the number of specimen examinations is 100, and the number of radiological examinations is 10.

  The database shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may be stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, or may be stored in an external computer device. More specifically, for example, it may be stored in a server that manages various information in the electronic medical chart system.

  Here, assuming that the patient ID is “P1”, the determination unit 305 first refers to the disease name table 900 to search the disease name information 900-1 corresponding to the patient ID, and determines the main disease name “I1” of the patient P1. Identify. Thereafter, the determination unit 305 refers to the order count DB 1000 to search the order information 1000-1 corresponding to the main disease name, and specifies the order count for each medical item. Here, the number of orders for each medical treatment item is prescription (200 times), treatment (20 times), injection (50 times), specimen examination (100 times), and radiation examination (10 times).

  And the determination part 305 determines the display order of summary information group S1-S5 according to the frequency | count of an order for every medical treatment item. Here, the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 is “S1 → S4 → S3 → S2 → S5”. If there are a plurality of medical items having the same order number, the order of the summary information may be arbitrarily determined.

  Thereby, summary information with a large number of orders of medical treatment items performed on a patient having the same disease name as a patient to be examined can be preferentially displayed on the windows W1 to W3.

(Third determination method)
The determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information group based on the user attributes. The user attribute is, for example, a medical department to which a doctor who views the summary screen belongs. Specifically, for example, first, the determination unit 305 refers to the department table 1100 illustrated in FIG. 11 to identify the medical department corresponding to the doctor ID of the doctor.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the department table. In FIG. 11, the department table 1100 has fields of doctor ID and department. By setting information in each field, the department to which the doctor belongs is stored as a record.

  The doctor ID is a doctor identifier. A department is a medical department to which a doctor belongs. Here, when the doctor ID is “D2”, the determining unit 305 refers to the department table 1100 to identify the department “surgery” of the doctor D2. Thereafter, the determination unit 305 refers to the click count DB 1200 illustrated in FIG. 12 and searches for a record corresponding to the department to which the department belongs, and specifies the click count for each medical item.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the click count DB. In FIG. 12, the click count DB 1200 has the fields of department, prescription, treatment, injection, specimen test, and radiation test. By setting information in each field, the number of clicks for each medical item is stored as a record for each department.

  The number of clicks is the cumulative number of detail buttons B1 to B5 that are clicked first on the chart screen 1630 shown in FIG. By referring to the click count DB 1200, it is possible to estimate which medical care items are considered important by doctors in each medical department at the time of patient examination. That is, it can be estimated that the information with a larger cumulative button count is a medical item for which details are to be confirmed first, and is the most important medical item.

  Specifically, for example, the determination unit 305 refers to the click count DB 1200 and specifies the click count for each medical treatment item corresponding to the department “surgery”. Here, the number of clicks of the detail button B1 is 5, the number of clicks of the detail button B2 is 10, the number of clicks of the detail button B3 is 30, the number of clicks of the detail button B4 is 0, and the number of clicks of the detail button B5 is 5 times.

  Then, the determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 according to the number of clicks for each medical item. Here, the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 is “S3 → S2 → S1 → S5 → S4”. The database shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 may be stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, or may be stored in an external computer device.

  Thereby, the summary information of the medical care item which the doctor belonging to the same medical department as the browsing doctor at the time of the patient's medical examination attaches importance can be preferentially displayed on the windows W1 to W3.

(Fourth determination method)
The determination unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information group based on the priority for each summary information regarding the display order. The calculation unit 307 calculates the priority related to the display order of the summary information group for each summary information. Specifically, for example, the calculation unit 307 calculates each summary information based on the number of orders for each medical treatment item associated with the patient's main disease name and the number of clicks for each medical treatment item of the medical department to which the doctor belongs. The priority of is calculated.

  Here, specific processing contents for calculating the priority will be described. First, the calculation unit 307 refers to the department table 1100 to identify a medical department corresponding to the doctor ID of the doctor. Thereafter, the calculation unit 307 normalizes the number of clicks for each medical item in the medical department to which the doctor belongs, and calculates a weighting coefficient for each medical item.

  More specifically, for example, the calculation unit 307 can calculate the weighting coefficient for each medical item by dividing the number of clicks for each medical item by the total number of clicks. Here, it is assumed that the medical department to which the doctor belongs is “surgery”. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a weighting coefficient table. In FIG. 13, a weighting coefficient table 1300 has weighting coefficients for each surgical treatment item.

  Next, the calculation unit 307 refers to the disease name table 900 and identifies the main disease name corresponding to the patient ID. Then, the calculation unit 307 refers to the order count DB 1000 to identify the order count for each medical treatment item corresponding to the main disease name. Thereafter, the calculation unit 307 calculates the priority regarding the display order of the summary information by multiplying the number of orders for each medical treatment item by the weighting coefficient.

  Specifically, for example, the calculation unit 307 can calculate the priority related to the display order for each summary information using the following formula (1). However, OP is a priority, ON is the number of orders, and WC is a weighting coefficient.

    OP = ON × WC (1)

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a priority table. However, the patient's main disease name is “I1”. In FIG. 14, the priority table 1400 has priorities relating to the display order for each of the summary information S1 to S5. In this case, the determination unit 305 refers to the priority table 1400 and determines the display order of the summary information S1 to S5.

  Here, the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 is “S1 → S2 → S3 → S5 → S4”. The various tables shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 are stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, for example.

  Thereby, it is possible to determine the summary information to be preferentially displayed in the windows W1 to W3 in consideration of the name of the patient's main disease and the medical care items that the doctors of each clinical department attach importance to at the time of the patient's examination. .

(Number of windows displayed)
Next, a case where the number of windows that can be displayed on one screen is set based on the screen resolution of the display 208 will be described. The setting unit 308 has a function of setting the display number of a specific display area that can be displayed on one screen. Specifically, for example, the setting unit 308 refers to the display number table 1500 shown in FIG. 15 and sets the display number of windows that can be displayed on one screen.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the display number table. In FIG. 15, a display number table 1500 has fields for screen resolution and displayable number. By setting information in each field, the displayable number of windows for each screen resolution is stored as a record.

  The screen resolution is the resolution of the display screen (for example, the display 208). The displayable number is the number of windows that can be displayed on one screen. Here, the resolution of the display 208 is “2048 × 1536 pixels”. Note that the resolution of the display 208 is stored in a storage device such as the ROM 202, the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207, for example.

  In this case, the setting unit 308 refers to the display number table 1500, identifies the display number “5” corresponding to the resolution of the display 208, and sets the display number of windows that can be displayed on one screen to “5”. . Then, the classification unit 303 classifies the summary information group into first and second summary information based on the display order of the summary information group and the set display number of windows.

  When a summary screen is created using a screen template, a summary screen is created by selecting a screen template corresponding to the set number of windows to be displayed. Note that the number of windows that can be displayed on one screen may be calculated based on the resolution of the display 208 and the window display size.

  As a result, the number of windows displayed in the summary screen can be appropriately set according to the resolution of the display 208, and the visibility of the summary screen can be improved.

(Screen example of electronic medical record system)
Next, a screen example of the electronic medical record system will be described. Here, a series of screen operations performed by a doctor at the time of patient examination will be described. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing a screen example of the electronic medical chart system.

  (1) On the input screen 1610, the doctor inputs the doctor ID using the keyboard 210 and the mouse 211. When the input of the doctor ID is completed, an input screen 1620 is displayed on the display 208. The entered doctor ID is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  (2) On the input screen 1620, the doctor uses the keyboard 210 and the mouse 211 to input the patient ID of the patient to be examined. When the input of the patient ID is completed, a medical chart screen 1630 is displayed on the display 208. The entered doctor ID is stored in a storage device such as the RAM 203, the magnetic disk 205, and the optical disk 207.

  (3) On the medical record screen 1630, when the doctor clicks the summary button B6 using the keyboard 210 or the mouse 211, a summary screen summarizing the electronic medical record is displayed on the display 208. The summary screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the doctor clicks the detail buttons B1 to B5 using the keyboard 210 or the mouse 211 on the medical record screen 1630, a detailed screen (not shown) of each medical treatment item is displayed on the display 208. The detailed screen is a screen that displays details of medical treatment performed on the patient P1. In addition, the number of clicks of the detail buttons B1 to B5 that are clicked first on the medical record screen 1630 is stored in the number-of-clicks DB 1200.

(Summary screen)
Next, a summary screen regarding the electronic medical record of the patient P1 will be described. However, the display order of the summary information groups S1 to S5 is “S1 → S4 → S5 → S2 → S3”. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a summary screen.

  In FIG. 17, the summary screen 1700 displays summary information S1, S4, and S5, as well as symbols M2 and M3 that represent summary information S2 and S3 in a simplified form (detailed buttons B8 and B7). According to the summary screen 1700, a viewer (for example, a doctor) can intuitively grasp the entire summary information group S1 to S5, and can quickly grasp a patient's situation.

  Thereby, for example, in a university hospital where many doctors are enrolled, even a doctor other than the attending doctor can quickly and accurately grasp the patient's situation. In particular, in a medical field where a quick response to an emergency patient is required, the survival rate of the patient is improved.

  On the summary screen 1700, when the detail buttons B7 and B8 are clicked, the summary information S2 and S3 associated with the symbols M2 and M3 are popped up. Specifically, for example, when the detail button B7 is clicked, the display unit 309 refers to the association result table 700, reads a file corresponding to the symbol M3 from the storage device, and displays the file on the display 208. Thereby, in order to display the non-display summary information S2 and S3, a troublesome screen operation for scrolling the display contents becomes unnecessary, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

(Information display processing procedure of information display device)
Next, an information display processing procedure of the information display apparatus 200 according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an information display processing procedure of the information display device. In the flowchart of FIG. 18, first, the receiving unit 301 determines whether or not an input of a doctor ID has been received (step S1801).

  Here, after waiting for the doctor ID to be input (step S1801: No) and receiving the input (step S1801: Yes), the receiving unit 301 determines whether or not the input of the patient ID has been received ( Step S1802). Then, waiting for the patient ID to be input (step S1802: No), and when the input is received (step S1802: Yes), the display unit 309 displays the electronic medical record corresponding to the patient ID on the display 208 ( Step S1803).

  Thereafter, the accepting unit 301 determines whether or not a summary screen display instruction has been accepted (step S1804). Here, it waits for the display instruction of the summary screen to be received (step S1804: No), and if received (step S1804: Yes), the acquisition unit 302 extracts records corresponding to the patient ID from various history DBs. Thus, summary information for each medical treatment item is acquired (step S1805).

  Next, the determination unit 305 executes display order determination processing for determining the display order of the acquired summary information group (step S1806). Then, the classification unit 303 classifies the summary information group into first and second summary information based on the determined display order of the summary information group and the display number of windows that can be displayed on one screen (step S1807).

  Thereafter, the associating unit 304 associates the classified second summary information with a symbol that represents the second summary information in a simplified manner (step S1808). Then, the creation unit 306 creates a summary screen by embedding the first summary information in the screen template and embedding symbols representing the second summary information in a simplified manner (step S1809).

  Next, the created summary screen is displayed on the display 208 by the display unit 309 (step S1810). Thereafter, the receiving unit 301 determines whether or not a display instruction for the second non-displayed summary information associated with the symbol has been received (step S1811).

  Here, it waits for the display instruction of the non-displayed second summary information to be received (step S1811: No), and if received (step S1811: Yes), the display unit 309 refers to the association result and displays the symbol. The second summary information associated with is read from the storage device (step S1812).

  Then, the read-out second summary information is displayed in a pop-up on the display 208 by the display unit 309 (step S1813), and a series of processes according to this flowchart is terminated.

  The number of windows that can be displayed on one screen may be set in advance and stored in the storage device, or may be set by the setting unit 308 based on the resolution of the display 208. .

  Next, a specific processing procedure of the display order determination process in step S1806 shown in FIG. 18 will be described. Here, a specific processing procedure of the display order determination processing will be described by taking the fourth determination method of the first to fourth determination methods described above as an example.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a specific processing procedure of the display order determination process. In the flowchart of FIG. 19, first, the calculation unit 307 refers to the department table 1100 to identify a medical department corresponding to the doctor ID (step S1901).

  Thereafter, the calculation unit 307 normalizes the number of clicks for each medical treatment item of the specified medical department, and calculates a weighting coefficient for each medical treatment item (step S1902). Next, the calculation unit 307 refers to the disease name table 900 to identify the main disease name corresponding to the patient ID (step S1903).

  Then, the calculation unit 307 refers to the order count DB 1000 to identify the order count for each medical treatment item corresponding to the identified main disease name (step S1904). Thereafter, the calculation unit 307 multiplies the order count for each medical item by the weighting coefficient to calculate the priority regarding the display order of the summary information group for each summary information (step S1905).

  Finally, the determining unit 305 determines the display order of the summary information group based on the calculated priority for each summary information (step S1906), and proceeds to step S1807 shown in FIG.

  As described above, the disclosed technique classifies the summary information group into the first and second summary information based on the display order of the summary information group to be displayed and the number of windows that can be displayed on one screen. To do. And this indication technique displays on the display screen the 1st summary information and the symbol showing the 2nd summary information simplified. Thereby, the summary property of the summary information group that cannot be displayed on one screen can be improved.

  In addition, when the display technique of the second summary information associated with the symbol is received, the disclosed technology displays the second summary information that is not displayed as a pop-up. This eliminates the need for troublesome screen operations such as scrolling the display contents in order to display the non-display summary information, and can improve the convenience for the user.

  Moreover, this indication technique may determine the display order of a summary information group based on the update date and information amount for every summary information. Thereby, the summary information with the latest update date and the summary information with a large amount of data can be preferentially displayed on the summary screen.

  Moreover, this indication technique may determine the display order of a summary information group based on a patient's main disease name. Thereby, it is possible to preferentially display summary information with a large number of orders of medical care items performed on a patient having the same disease name as the patient to be examined on the summary screen.

  Moreover, this indication technique may determine the display order of a summary information group based on the medical department to which a doctor belongs. Thereby, the summary information of the medical treatment item which the doctor of each medical department attaches importance at the time of the patient's examination can be preferentially displayed on the summary screen.

  Moreover, this indication technique calculates the priority for every summary information regarding a display order based on a patient's main disease name and the medical department to which a doctor belongs. And this indication technique may determine the display order of a summary information group based on the priority for every summary information. Thereby, it is possible to determine the summary information to be preferentially displayed in the windows W1 to W3 in consideration of the name of the patient's main disease and the medical care items that the doctors of each clinical department attach importance to at the time of the patient's examination. .

  The information display method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation.
