FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of browsing processing by the browsing module 170.
In step S202, a document information browsing request is accepted.
In step S204, the document management apparatus 100 is inquired about which document storage module (document storage B module 150 or document storage A module 160) to read from.
In step S206, an instruction from the document management apparatus 100 (reply to the inquiry in step S204) is received.
In step S208, the document information is read from the document storage module (document storage B module 150 or document storage A module 160) according to the instruction.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a distribution process by the distribution module 114.
In step S302, an inquiry from the browsing module 170 is accepted.
In step S304, it is determined whether or not the request is related to originality guarantee. If the request is related to originality assurance, the process proceeds to step S310; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S306.

In step S306, referring to the patient status list 124, which document storage module is present is extracted. That is, it is either the document storage B module 150 or the document storage A module 160. If both are present, the document storage B module 150 is prioritized. More specifically, when all the document information related to the patient is stored in the document storage B module 150 in a state where the document information is present, the document is acquired from the document storage B module 150. When the document information is not stored in the document storage B module 150 or a part thereof is missing, the document information is acquired from the document storage A module 160. The storage state of the document information for each patient between the document storage B module 150 and the document storage A module 160 is determined using the patient state list 124. As described above, the document information is composed of four states (Active, Active-ready, Inactive-ready, and Inactive).
In step S308, the extraction result in step S306 is transmitted to the browsing module 170.
In step S <b> 310, the browsing module 170 is notified that the document storage A module 160 should be read out.

Processing by the copy module 118 and the deletion module 116 will be described.
Document registration from the registration module 180 is performed in the document storage A module 160. Immediately after registration, the document information does not exist in the document storage B module 150 but exists only in the document storage A module 160. The copy module 118 refers to the copy document list 126, and if there is an uncopied document, copies the document information from the document storage A module 160 to the document storage B module 150. This copying process is periodically executed. Documents to be copied are managed in the copy document list 126, and are added to the copy document list 126 when document information is registered, and the copy document list 126 is referred to when copying. The copying progress status (before copying processing, during copying processing, and after copying processing) is recorded in this copy document list 126. Additional writing to the copy document list 126 is performed by the copy document list management module 136.
On the other hand, the document information whose browsing count is less than the predetermined count is deleted from the document storage B module 150 by the deletion module 116. The number of browsing times may be a number within a predetermined period.
Even if the document information is not stored in the document storage B module 150, the frequency of visits may increase and the browsing frequency of document information may increase. In this case, when the number of browsing times exceeds a predetermined number, all of the document information related to the patient is copied from the document storage A module 160 to the document storage B module 150. Document information to be copied is managed by a patient document list 122.
The “predetermined number of times” used for the copy condition and the delete condition may be the same or different values. The number of browsing times may be the number of browsing times after registration for the document information, or the number of browsing times within a predetermined period (for example, the number of browsing times within three months from the present, inactive state). Or the like (the value stored in the inactive state limit value column 1245 in the patient state list 124) or the like. In addition, as a copy condition and a delete condition, for example, a doctor's findings or a disease name, a treatment, etc. for a patient may be used as a condition. As a specific example, if the finding or disease name is a tumor, it is a copy target. Conversely, if the treatment is dialysis, it is excluded from copying. In addition, the hospitalization state (period of hospitalization, etc.) of the patient may be used as the copy condition and the delete condition.

Further, the deletion module 116 may perform the following processing.
The document information to be processed is medical document information, and each piece of document information is associated with a patient ID. The document information includes information describing the month and date of visit and the name of a disease or the like.
The document information in the document storage B module 150 is deleted at a predetermined time. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it is set to be deleted once a week (deleted on September 1, September 8, September 15, and September 22).
As illustrated in FIG. 10, when the current date is September 8, when deleting the document information in the document storage B module 150, the patient document information including the next corresponding document information is not deleted. .
If the document information includes the date of treatment and the finding in the next visit number table 900 illustrated in FIG. 9 or the disease name in the disease name column 910, it corresponds to the disease name illustrated in FIG. 9 on the date of treatment. The expected number of days until the next visit (the number of days in the expected number of days until next visit 920) is added. If the date obtained by adding (= the expected date of the next visit) is between September 8 and September 15 when document information is scheduled to be deleted next, the document Do not delete patient document information including information.
This processing is performed because the document information in the document storage B module 150 is referred to when the patient's next visit is the expected date.

The next visit days table 900 illustrated in FIG. 9 may be prepared in advance, but may be created based on document information as follows.
The date of visit and the findings or disease names are extracted from the document information, and the interval between visits (the period from the date of visit to the next visit) is calculated for each finding or disease name. Then, the average value is calculated from the calculated findings or the interval between visits for each disease name. The average value, which is the calculation result, is stored in the expected days until next visit column 920 in correspondence with the findings in the next visit day table 900 or the findings or disease names in the disease name column 910. The next hospital visit table 900 is stored in the deletion module 116.

Further, the copy module 118 may perform the following processing.
When the document information in the document storage A module 160 satisfies a predetermined condition, the document ID of the document information is registered in the copy document list 126, and the document storage B module 150 is copied at a certain time.
The predetermined condition may be the following condition.
An external information processing apparatus having an apparatus for receiving a patient ID indicating a patient who has been to the hospital is prepared.
When the patient ID of the patient who has been to the hospital is received from the external information processing apparatus, the document information of the patient is registered in the copy document list 126. Then, the copy module 118 copies document information about the patient from the document storage A module 160 to the document storage B module 150 according to the copy document list 126 at a certain time.
