  Hereinafter, a pathological diagnosis report system and a pathological diagnosis report method according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of a pathological diagnosis report system according to an embodiment. The pathological diagnosis report system 2 includes a control unit 4. The control unit 4 includes a printing unit 6 for printing a test request form for requesting a pathologist to perform a test, a specimen ID 8 and a request number ( Order No. 10, from the storage unit 12 for storing data such as the examination contents requested by the pathologist, the results of the pathological diagnosis described in the pathology report created by the pathologist, from the pathology report created by the pathologist OCR 14 that reads the specimen ID 8, a two-dimensional barcode reader 16 that reads the result of pathological diagnosis described in a two-dimensional barcode from a pathology report created by the pathologist, input of examination contents requested by the pathologist, OCR 14 and 2 An input unit 18 for giving a reading instruction or the like by the three-dimensional bar code reader 16; Display unit 20 to display more read information is connected.

  Here, the storage unit 12 stores a unique specimen ID 8 and an order No. 10 assigned to each pathological specimen for which a pathologist is requested to perform an examination. Accordingly, the sample ID 8 assigned to one pathological specimen and the order No. 10 have a one-to-one correspondence. The pathological diagnosis report system 2 is installed in a medical institution such as a hospital or a clinic. The pathological diagnosis report system 2 is prohibited from connecting to the Internet. Further, it is prohibited to connect an external recording device such as a USB memory to the terminals constituting the pathological diagnosis report system 2.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of the pathologist terminal. The pathologist terminal 22 includes a control unit 24. The control unit 24 has an input unit 26 for inputting a result of pathological diagnosis, specimen ID 8, order No. 10 and the like, and a pathology report 30 (in which the result of the pathological diagnosis is described in text) 4) and a printing unit 28 for printing a pathology report 32 (see FIG. 5) in which the result of pathological diagnosis is described by a two-dimensional barcode 34 is connected. The pathologist terminal 18 is installed in an examination room or the like where a pathologist observes a pathological specimen.

  Next, the pathological diagnosis report method according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, the pathological diagnosis report system 2 prints an inspection request document created by a requesting doctor of a medical institution and describing the contents of an inspection requested to the pathologist by the printing unit 6. Here, the examination request, the examination content, the specimen ID 8 and the order No. 10 are described. In medical institutions, pathological specimens to be examined are prepared. The medical institution attaches a request for examination to the pathological specimen and sends it to the pathologist by courier.

  When the pathologist receives the pathological specimen attached with the examination request form, the pathologist observes the pathological specimen. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the pathologist inputs the pathological diagnosis result via the input unit 26 of the pathologist terminal 22 (step S1). At this time, the pathologist further inputs the sample ID 8 and the order No. 10 described in the examination request form.

  Next, when a pathologist reports a pathology report print instruction using the input unit 26, the control unit 24 prints the pathology report using the printing unit 28. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 24 causes the printing unit 28 to print a pathology report 30 described in text (step S2).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 24 causes the printing unit 28 to print a pathology report 32 in which the specimen ID 8 is written in text and the pathological diagnosis result is written in the two-dimensional barcode 34 (step S3). . Here, the control unit 24 encrypts the result of the pathological diagnosis using the order No. 10 as an encryption key, converts the encrypted result of the pathological diagnosis into a two-dimensional barcode, and causes the printing unit 28 to print it.

  Next, the pathologist sends the pathology report 32 in which the result of the pathological diagnosis is described in a two-dimensional barcode 34 to the requesting doctor of the medical institution that has requested the pathological diagnosis by FAX. Note that the pathologist makes an original copy by stamping the pathology report 30 in which the result of the pathological diagnosis is written in text, and sends it to the requesting doctor of the medical institution by courier service or the like.

  When receiving the pathology report 32 by FAX, the medical institution prints the received pathology report 32 on paper. Thereafter, the specimen ID 8 of the pathology report 32 printed on paper is read by the OCR 14 of the pathology diagnosis report system 2 (step S11). When reading the sample ID 8, the control unit 4 reads the order No. 10 of the pathological specimen to which the sample ID 8 is attached from the data stored in the storage unit 12 (step S12).

  Next, the two-dimensional barcode 34 printed on the pathology report 32 is read by the barcode reader 16 (step S13), and the read information is decoded using the order No. 10 read in step S12 (step S14). When decoding is performed, the control unit 4 displays the pathological diagnosis result on the display unit 20 (step S15). Furthermore, the control unit 4 stores the pathological diagnosis result in the storage unit 12.

  According to the pathological diagnosis report system and the pathological diagnosis report method according to the present embodiment, high security can be ensured, and the results of pathological diagnosis can be quickly reported to a medical institution.

  In addition, in a medical institution, after receiving a pathology report by FAX, it is possible to quickly display a diagnosis result. In addition, since the pathological diagnosis result based on the read two-dimensional barcode is displayed on the display unit of the pathological diagnosis report system, the contents of the pathology report created by the pathologist can be displayed without being falsified.

  In addition, since the result of pathological diagnosis described in the two-dimensional barcode is encrypted, information leakage can be prevented even when a FAX is erroneously transmitted. Furthermore, since the pathologist sends the original to the medical institution, it avoids erroneous data conversion that may occur between in-hospital systems by collating the diagnosis result displayed based on the two-dimensional barcode with the original. Can do. By verifying the diagnostic result displayed based on the two-dimensional barcode and the original, proof of authenticity can be realized.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that the sample ID 8 described by text in step S11 of FIG. 6 is read. However, the configuration may be such that the sample ID 8 described by two-dimensional barcode is read.

  In this case, in step S3 of FIG. 6, the control unit 24 of the pathologist terminal 22 causes the printing unit 28 to print the pathology report in which the specimen ID 8 and the result of the pathological diagnosis are described in a two-dimensional barcode. In the two-dimensional barcode of this pathology report, the specimen ID 8 is printed without being encrypted, and the result of the pathological diagnosis is encrypted and printed. Here, the control unit 24 encrypts the result of the pathological diagnosis using the order No. 10 as an encryption key.

  In the medical institution, first, the information of the unencrypted specimen ID 8 in the two-dimensional barcode is read by the barcode reader 16 of the pathological diagnosis report system 2, and then, as shown in step S12 of FIG. The order No. 10 of the pathological specimen with the specimen ID 8 is read from the data stored in the storage unit 12. Next, the bar code reader 16 reads the encrypted information of the two-dimensional bar code, that is, the pathological diagnosis result, and then performs the decryption process shown in step S14 and the display process shown in step S15 in FIG. .

  In the above embodiment, the sample ID 8 is described in the diagnosis report 32 and the order No. 10 is used as the encryption key. However, the order No. 10 is described in the diagnosis report 32 and the sample ID 8 is encrypted. It is good also as a structure used as a key.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pathologist sends the pathology report 32 in which the results of the pathological diagnosis are described in the two-dimensional barcode 34 to the medical institution by FAX. The pathological report 32 of a paper medium may be sent to a medical institution by attaching the electronic document in a file format such as PDF, that is, an electronic paper medium attached to an e-mail.
