Description

  The present invention relates to a conference support apparatus that outputs a conference summary of a medical conference and manages the conference in association with the conference.

Today, when performing surgery in a hospital, medical conferences are held in which doctors and medical staff related to the patient gather in advance to examine the surgical procedure. As with other medical activities, medical conferences need to be documented. However, since doctors in the field are busy, the time allotted for holding a medical conference is very limited, and there is no room for creating a meeting summary.
In order to reduce such a doctor's burden, the proposal which automates a part of work is made. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes that an electronic medical image is printed at a predetermined position on a medical chart sheet to reduce a load of paper chart creation. Patent Document 2 proposes an electronic medical record that is associated with an electronic medical medical image.

<Embodiment 1>
The conference support apparatus according to the present embodiment generates a summary for each patient from information that is referred to and input at a medical conference, and manages the summary in association with patient information.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a conference support apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a conference client 1 acquires information from various servers such as a conference server 2 and a file server 3 and proceeds with the conference. Also, a summary 33 of the conference is output during or after the conference.

  The conference server 2, the file server 3, the PACS server 5, the diagnostic report server 6, and the electronic medical record server 7 are connected to the conference client 1 via the network 4, and the patient information accumulated by the diagnosis so far is sent to the conference client. provide.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a screen during a meeting in the conference client 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and a doctor uses this screen to approve a surgical policy for each patient. On the conference screen, electronic medical record information 354 in which the contents of the surgical procedure are inputted in advance for each patient, medical image information 357 collected so far, participant information 353 on the day, date / time information 352 of the conference, and the like are automatically displayed. Doctors participating in the conference proceed with the conference while referring to these pieces of information. Further, images designated by the doctor as related materials during the meeting are stored as a summary output image list 356. When the result of approval / disapproval of the technique policy proposed at the meeting is obtained, one of “approval”, “addition required”, and “continuation” in the result input area 355 is selected, and the examination on the target patient is ended.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a screen after selecting an item in the result input area 355. In FIG. 3, since the result is input to the result input area 355, the summary output button 358 is activated. At this time, when the doctor presses the summary output button 358, conference summary information 33 is generated and stored in a state associated with the target patient on the file server 3. The summary output button 358 may be pressed not only immediately after selecting an item in the result input area 355, but may be performed after a meeting person adds a minutes after the meeting. Further, the output result may be displayed after the summary output so that the user can confirm the contents. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the output result 360 is displayed immediately after the summary output. The user can confirm the contents of the summary on the spot, and if there is any incompleteness, can correct the information on the conference screen and execute the summary output again.

  Next, the process of the conference client 1 in the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating output processing of the conference client 1 that performs summary output in the first embodiment.

  When the pressing event of the summary output button 358 is detected, the summary output process is started (step S500). First, in step S501, it is confirmed that a conclusion has been set in the result input area summary output target meeting, and the process shifts to a material capturing mode in S502. In steps S502 to S509, information necessary for summary output is acquired. In step S503, a summary output template is acquired, and in steps S504 to 505, patient chart information and date / time / place / participant / result information regarding the conference are acquired. If the minutes are input, the minutes information is acquired in steps S506 to 507, and if the summary image is registered, the summary image registered in steps S508 to 509 is acquired. These pieces of information are all acquired from various servers 2-8. In this case, it is assumed that the information to be acquired is determined in advance, but the information to be acquired may be dynamically changed according to the contents of the template. Further, the template may be dynamically changed according to the conclusion of the conference or the diagnosis result.

  After collecting the information, the process proceeds to the file output mode in step S510. In step S511, the type of information necessary for summary generation is specified from the template acquired in step S503, and the necessary information is extracted from the information acquired in steps S504 to S509 and adapted to the template. Next, in step S512, the template to which various types of information are adapted is stored in the binder 302 that manages the target patient information as a summary file 33, thereby associating with the patient. Finally, if it is specified to check the output result on the spot, the summary file 33 is displayed on the conference client 1 in steps S514 to S515.

  On the other hand, since the summary output is performed for the patient who has obtained the result, when the summary output for the patient for whom the result has not been input is instructed, an error dialog is displayed in step S520, and the summary output process is interrupted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user of the conference support apparatus can generate a summary without taking the trouble of collecting related materials or formatting a document for creating a summary. The generated summary can be managed in a state associated with the patient.

  The operation is simplified not only when the summary output button 358 is pressed, but also by automatically outputting a summary when a result input to the result input area 355, a conference end event, a conference screen end, or the like is detected. May be.

  In addition, a target patient list screen or the like may be prepared separately to specify a summary output target. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a list display screen of patients to be approved in the conference, and shows that the result of approval is obtained for all patients. In this state, a summary output of a specific patient may be generated by pressing the summary output button 372 provided for each individual patient, or a summary may be output collectively by designating all patients. Good. A summary of all patients may be automatically output when a conference end event or the like is detected.
