  In the prior art, in creating a graph, a second element that matches the keyword and the array condition is extracted based on the specified graph type and the first element, and the graph is created.

  However, depending on the characteristics of the data, etc., depending on the combination of elements displayed on the graph, it may not be possible to display on the same graph, or the graph may be difficult to see if displayed on the same graph. It is difficult for the user to select an element to be displayed on the graph with awareness of such combination of elements.

  An object of the present invention is to easily select an element for displaying a desired graph.

  In one aspect, the graph display program displays a graph including at least one of a first element and a second element, and detects that the first element is selected as a display target of the graph. In addition, a storage unit that stores information indicating whether or not the first element and the second element can be displayed simultaneously is referred to. When the second element can be displayed simultaneously, the second element is displayed so as to be selectable as a graph display target. On the other hand, when the second element cannot be displayed simultaneously, the second element is not displayed so as to be selectable as a graph display target.

In the present embodiment, an example in which the disclosed technology is applied to a graph display control system that displays graphs related to various performance data in a medical institution will be described.

  The graph display control system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of graph display devices 20 and a graph generation device 30 as shown in FIG. The graph display device 20 is a device on which a web browser that functions as a client terminal of the web system is installed. The graph display device 20 includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display and an input unit such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel. As the graph display device 20, for example, a personal computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or the like can be used. The graph generation device 30 is an information processing device that functions as a Web server and an application server of a Web system. Each graph display device 20 and the graph generation device 30 are connected via a network.

  The graph generation device 30 is connected to an electronic medical record database (DB) device 80 that functions as a database server of the Web system via a network. The graph generation apparatus 30 is connected to a medical accounting apparatus 90 via a medical interface (I / F) apparatus 89. The medical accounting device 90 is a device that operates in a format different from a normal Web system. Therefore, the medical I / F device 89 functions as an interface for exchanging data between the graph generation device 30 that functions as a Web server and an application server of the Web system and the medical accounting device 90. As a result, the medical accounting apparatus 90 that operates in a format different from that of the Web system functions in the same manner as the database server of the Web system.

  Here, an example of the display screen 100 displayed on the display unit included in the graph display device 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. 2 is an example of the display screen 100 in the normal mode, and FIG. 3 is an example of the display screen 100 in the enlargement mode. The normal mode is a mode in which a graph is displayed and a button capable of selecting a graph display setting is displayed. The enlargement mode is a mode for displaying the graph on the entire display screen 100.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the normal mode display screen 100 includes a print button 101, an enlarge button 102, a registered display setting selection button 103, a graph display area 104, a previous week button 105, a today button 106, a week button 107, And a next week button 108. The previous week button 105, the today button 106, the current week button 107, and the next week button 108 are collectively referred to as a period designation button. The display screen 100 includes a clear button 109, an apply button 110, and a plurality of display setting buttons 111. As shown in FIG. 3, the enlargement mode display screen 100 includes a print button 101, a reduction button 112, a previous week button 105, a today button 106, a current week button 107, and a next week button 108. 2 and 3, the button is represented by a rounded rectangle.

  The print button 101 is a button that is selected when printing the graph displayed in the graph display area 104. When the print button 101 is selected in the normal mode, a transition is made to the enlargement mode and a print dialog is displayed superimposed on the display screen 100. When the print button 101 is selected in the enlargement mode, a print dialog is displayed superimposed on the display screen 100.

  The enlargement button 102 is a button that is selected when transitioning to the enlargement mode. When the enlarge button 102 is selected, the display screen 100 transitions from the state of FIG. 2 to the state of FIG.

  The registered display setting selection button 103 is a button for calling display settings registered in advance. The display setting will be described later. In the example of FIG. 2, there are 1 to 3 registered display setting selection buttons 103. When the registered display setting selection button 103 of any number is selected, a predetermined button of the period designation button and the display setting button 111 is selected according to the display setting registered corresponding to the selected number. Changes to the selected state.

  The period designation button is a button that is selected when designating a period for displaying a graph when displaying a graph indicating a change in value with time. In this embodiment, a graph for one week is displayed. The previous week button 105 is a button that is selected when a period one week before the currently specified period is specified. The today button 106 is a button that is selected when designating a one week period in which the end of the period is today. This week button 107 is a button that is selected when designating a one-week period of three days before and after today. The next week button 108 is a button selected when designating a period one week after the currently designated period.

  Note that the length of the period specified by the period specifying button and the unit for changing the period are not limited to the above example. For example, it is set to display a graph for one month, and is selected when the last month button selected when specifying the period one month before the currently specified period or when specifying the period after one month. A next month button may be provided. The period may be directly input or selected from a calendar.

  The clear button 109 is a button that is selected when the currently selected period and display settings are canceled and returned to the initial state. The initial state can be, for example, a state in which the today button 106 is selected and no display setting button 111 is selected.

  The apply button 110 is a button that is selected when a graph corresponding to the currently selected period and display settings is displayed in the graph display area 104.

  The display setting button 111 is a button selected when designating display settings. The display setting includes a plurality of display conditions for aggregating the data group from a plurality of different viewpoints, and display items to be displayed on the graph.

  More specifically, the display condition is a condition for displaying a graph related to any of a plurality of attributes of data. The “attribute” here indicates which group the data belongs to when it is grouped. In the example of FIG. 2, two attributes of “clinical department” and “ward” are set as display conditions. Has been. The display condition “clinical department” includes a display setting button 111 corresponding to each clinical department, and the display condition “ward” includes a display setting button 111 corresponding to each ward. In addition, each display condition includes a display setting button 111 (summary button) for displaying a graph obtained by adding the data of the attributes indicated by the display condition as one data. Further, each display condition includes a display setting button 111 (“all” button) for selecting all the display setting buttons 111 included in the display condition.

  When the display setting button 111 included in the display condition “clinical department” is selected, a graph relating to data of the selected clinical department is displayed. When the display setting button 111 included in the display condition “ward” is selected, a graph relating to data of the selected ward is displayed. When the display conditions are different, the viewpoint of grouping the data is different, and the display setting buttons 111 included in the different display conditions cannot be selected at the same time. For example, “internal medicine” included in the display condition “medical department” and “second floor east” included in the display condition “ward” cannot be selected at the same time.

  The display items are grouped for each category, and each category includes a display setting button 111 corresponding to the display item corresponding to the category. In addition, display items common to all categories are grouped into a category “common”. In the example of FIG. 2, “outpatient” and “hospitalized” are set as categories. The category can be arbitrarily set from the viewpoint of whether or not graphs related to a plurality of display items can be displayed simultaneously. Accordingly, the display setting buttons 111 included in different categories can be set so that they cannot be selected simultaneously. For example, the “number of outpatients” included in the category “outpatient” and the “number of inpatients” included in the category “hospital” cannot be selected simultaneously.

  The reduction button 112 is a button selected when transitioning to the normal mode. When the reduction button 112 is selected, the display screen 100 transitions from the state of FIG. 3 to the state of FIG.

  Next, the functional configuration of the graph display device 20 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the graph display device 20 includes a detection unit 21, a button state control unit 22, a request unit 23, and a display control unit 24.

  The detection unit 21 detects a button selected by the user via the input unit. As will be described later, each button is activated when it can be selected, and inactivated when it cannot be selected. Therefore, the detection unit 21 detects only selection of the button for the activity display. Even if the user clicks or touches the inactive display button via the input unit, the detection unit 21 does not detect selection for the button.

  The button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of the selected button. When the selected button is the display setting button 111, the button state control unit 22 can simultaneously display the graph of the item indicated by the selected display setting button 111 and the item indicated by the other display setting button 111. Determine whether or not. For example, since the display setting buttons 111 included in different display conditions cannot be selected at the same time as described above, the button state control unit 22 displays the display settings included in the display conditions different from the selected display setting button 111. It is determined that the buttons 111 cannot be displayed simultaneously. Further, when the selected display setting button 111 is a summary button or an “all” button, the button state control unit 22 does not display other display setting buttons 111 included in the display condition of the selected display setting button 111 at the same time. Judge that it is possible.

  Further, as described above, since the display setting buttons 111 included in different categories cannot be selected at the same time, the button state control unit 22 displays the display setting buttons 111 included in a different category from the selected display setting button 111. Determines that display is impossible at the same time.

  The button state control unit 22 also updates the selection state of the display setting buttons 111 other than the selected display setting button 111 based on the determination result of whether or not display is possible at the same time. Specifically, the button state control unit 22 does not select the display setting button 111 indicating the display condition or display item that cannot be displayed on the graph simultaneously with the display condition or display item indicated by the selected display setting button 111. Update to a possible state. At the same time, the exclusion condition for determining that the graph cannot be displayed can be defined as a function that is called when the display setting button 111 is selected. In addition, a table defining exclusion conditions is stored in a predetermined storage area, and each time the display setting button 111 is selected, the selection state of other display setting buttons 111 can be updated by referring to this table. Good.

  When the selected button is a period designation button, the button state control unit 22 includes each period including the selection states of other period designation buttons so that only the selected period designation button is selected. Updates the selected button selection state.

  When the selected button is the registered display setting selection button 103, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of each button so that the registered display setting is selected.

  When the selected button is the clear button 109, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of each button so as to be in the initial state.

  Further, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of the apply button 110 when the apply button 110 is selected, when the graph generation apparatus 30 is requested to display the graph, or when the graph is displayed.

  If the selected button is the print button 101, the enlarge button 102, or the reduce button 112, it is not necessary to update the button selection state, and the process is passed to the display control unit 24.

  The button state control unit 22 stores the selection state of each button in, for example, the button state information DB 28 as shown in FIG. The state information indicating the selection state of the button can be, for example, “selectable”, “selected”, “additionally selectable”, and “not selectable”. “Selectable” indicates that the button can be selected on the condition that the selection of the currently selected button in the same group is released. Here, the same group means a period designation button group, the same display condition, or the same category. “Selected” indicates that the button is currently selected. “Additional selection is possible” indicates that a selection is possible by adding to the selection state of other buttons in the same group. “Not selectable” indicates that the button cannot be selected.

  Further, the button state control unit 22 controls the display of each button so as to represent the state information of each button stored in the button state information DB 28. For example, the “selectable” button can be activated, and the “selecting” period designation button and the apply button 110 can be deactivated. In addition, a mark indicating selection is given to the display setting button 111 of “selected”, a mark showing that additional selection is possible is given to the display setting button 111 of “additionally selectable”, and a “selection impossible” button Can be inactive. In the example of FIG. 2, the active display buttons are white, the inactive display buttons are shaded, the mark indicating selection is indicated by a check mark, and the mark indicating additional selection is indicated by a plus mark.

  The request unit 23 transmits an initial screen request for displaying an initial screen on the display screen 100 to the graph generation device 30 at the start of processing in the graph display control system 10. Further, when the detection unit 21 detects selection of the application button 110, the request unit 23 acquires the currently selected period designation button and display setting button 111 from the button state information DB 28. Then, the request unit 23 generates a graph display request including the period indicated by the acquired period specification button and the display setting information indicated by the display setting button 111 and transmits the graph display request to the graph generation apparatus 30.

  The display control unit 24 receives the HTML file transmitted from the graph generation device 30 and controls the display unit to display an image based on the HTML file.

  Next, a functional configuration of the graph generation device 30 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the graph generation device 30 includes a reception unit 31, an acquisition unit 32, and a generation unit 33.

  The accepting unit 31 accepts an initial screen request or a graph display request transmitted from the graph display device 20.

  The acquisition unit 32 acquires a display condition name list from the display condition DB 37 when the reception unit 31 receives an initial screen request. The display condition name list is a name of the display setting button 111 included in the display condition displayed on the display screen 100. Here, a list of medical department names and ward names is acquired.

  In addition, when the reception unit 31 receives a graph display request, the acquisition unit 32 extracts the period and display setting information included in the graph display request. The acquisition unit 32 determines whether to acquire data from either the electronic medical record DB device 80 or the medical accounting device 90 based on the extracted display settings.

  Various databases are stored in the storage area of the electronic medical record DB device 80 as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 7, a patient DB 81 that records basic information such as the patient's name, a reception DB 82 that records the contents of reception of outpatients and emergency patients, a movement information DB 83 that records movement information for hospitalization, and patients who are hospitalized The ward patient information DB 84 in which the information is recorded is stored. In addition, a surgery DB 85 that records information about surgery, a hospital room management information DB 86 that records management information such as the availability of a hospital room, a clinical department name master DB 87 in which a list of names of each clinical department is recorded, and a list of names of each ward The recorded ward name master DB 88 is stored.

  The data recorded in each of the patient DB 81, the reception DB 82, the movement information DB 83, the ward patient information DB 84, the surgery DB 85, and the hospital room management information DB 86 is performance data corresponding to daily medical practices and the like. The data recorded in the medical department name master DB 87 and the ward name master DB 88 is data that is updated at the timing when the medical department and ward are added, deleted, changed, or the like. The same data is stored in the medical department name master DB 87, the ward name master DB 88, and the display condition DB 37. For example, the acquisition unit 32 can acquire the clinical department name master DB 87 and the ward name master DB 88 from the electronic medical record DB device 80 and update the display condition DB 37 every predetermined period such as once a day.

  When acquiring data from the electronic medical record DB device 80, the acquisition unit 32 creates a search SQL based on the period and display setting extracted from the graph display request, and acquires data from the electronic medical record DB device 80. For example, an SQL file SQL definition 36 as shown in FIG. 8 is prepared for each display item and stored in a predetermined storage area. The acquisition unit 32 acquires the SQL definition 36 corresponding to the display item included in the display setting extracted from the graph display request. Then, the acquisition unit 32 substitutes the period extracted from the graph display request and the display condition included in the display setting into the acquired SQL definition 36 to create a search SQL.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the period is assigned to “DATE_FROM” and “DATE_TO”, the clinical department code is assigned to “BRNCHS”, and the ward code is assigned to “WARDS”. The clinical department code and the ward code are for identifying each of the medical department and the ward. The department code or ward code corresponding to the selected button may be included in the graph display request.

  When acquiring data from the medical accounting device 90, the acquisition unit 32 uses the period and display setting extracted from the graph display request as parameters, and requests data from the medical accounting device 90 via the medical I / F device 89. To do. The medical accounting device 90 returns a data set corresponding to the parameter to the acquisition unit 32 via the medical I / F device 89. The case where data is acquired from the medical accounting device 90 is a case where a display item related to medical accounting, such as insurance points, is selected.

  The acquisition part 32 totals the acquired data according to the display item displayed on a graph. For example, when “the number of operations” is selected as the display item, the acquisition unit 32 counts the data acquired from the operation DB 85 for each day in the specified period. The acquisition unit 32 may total data acquired from a plurality of databases. For example, when “the number of dead patients” is selected as the display item, the acquisition unit 32 acquires the data of patients discharged from the movement information DB 85, and the death flag and the date of death are set from the patient DB 81. Get the data. Then, the acquisition unit 32 counts the number of patients who are discharged from the hospital and have the death flag set for each day in the specified period. Note that when the acquisition unit 32 acquires data that has already been aggregated, the aggregation by the acquisition unit 32 is not necessary.

  When generating the initial screen, the generation unit 33 embeds the display condition name list acquired by the acquisition unit 32 in the screen form. The screen form is a virtual screen in which the arrangement of each button and the graph display area 104 is determined. Then, the generation unit 33 converts the screen form in which the display condition name list is embedded into an HTML file.

  When generating the graph, the generation unit 33 generates a graph image based on the data collected by the acquisition unit 32 and the graph definition defined in the graph definition DB 38. In the graph image, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a graph line 115 may be arranged in an area defined by a vertical axis 113 and a horizontal axis 114, and a graph title 116 and a legend 117 may be arranged. . The scales of the vertical axis 113 and the horizontal axis 114, the graph line 115, the graph title 116, the format of the legend 117, and the like are defined in the graph definition DB 38 and can be arbitrarily set. 3 is an example of the display screen 100 displayed in the enlarged mode on the graph display device 20, and the graph image generated here is a virtual screen of only the graph portion excluding the buttons and the like in FIG.

  Further, the graph image shown in the graph portion of FIG. 3 shows an example in the case of one display condition (here, surgery) and one display item (here, the number of outpatients). The generation unit 33 can also generate a graph image when there are a plurality of display conditions or a plurality of display items. FIG. 9 shows an example of a graph image when there are four display conditions (here, internal medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, and surgery) and one display item (here, the number of outpatients). FIG. 10 shows an example of a graph image when there are one display condition (here, surgery) and three display items (here, the number of outpatients, the daily outpatient average score, and the number of emergency patients). Indicates. Further, it is possible to generate a graph image when there are a plurality of display conditions and a plurality of display items.

  When there are a plurality of display items, as shown in FIG. 10, the horizontal axis is shortened as the number of display items increases. That is, the area for displaying the graph line 115 is narrowed. For example, if the maximum horizontal width of the entire graph is A, the horizontal width of one vertical axis is B, and the number of display items to be displayed is n, the length C of the horizontal axis is obtained by C = A−n × B. be able to. In addition, the vertical axis for each display item is distributed and arranged on the left and right of the graph. When a plurality of vertical axes are arranged together on the left or right side of the graph, the distance from the graph line 115 increases as the vertical axis arranged outside increases, making it difficult to grasp the contents of the graph. Therefore, when a plurality of vertical axes are distributed and arranged on the left and right of the graph, it is preferable to arrange them on the left and right evenly. Thereby, the distance between the outermost vertical axis and the graph can be minimized. When a plurality of vertical axes are arranged, the display item names are displayed as the graph title 116 in the same order as the arrangement order of the vertical axes for each display item. Thereby, even when there are a plurality of display items, it becomes easy to grasp the contents of the graph.

  Further, the graph image generated by the generation unit 33 is not limited to the line graph as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 9, or FIG. 10, but is a bar graph as shown in FIG. 11 or a band graph as shown in FIG. May be generated.

  The generation unit 33 stores the generated graph image in a predetermined storage area. Then, the generation unit 33 embeds the file path (storage location) of the generated graph image in the screen form, and converts the screen form in which the file path is embedded into an HTML file. The generation unit 33 transmits the generated HTML file to the graph display device 20.

  The graph display device 20 can be realized, for example, by a computer 40 shown in FIG. The computer 40 includes a CPU 41, a memory 42, a nonvolatile storage unit 43, an input / output interface (I / F) 44, and a network I / F 45.

The computer 40 is connected to an input unit 47 and a display unit 48 via an input / output I / F 44.

  The storage unit 43 can be realized by an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a flash memory, or the like. The storage unit 43 as a recording medium stores a graph display program 50 for causing the computer 40 to function as the graph display device 20. CPU41 reads the graph display program 50 from the memory | storage part 43, expand | deploys to the memory 42, and performs the process which the graph display program 50 has sequentially. The graph display program 50 includes a detection process 51, a button state control process 52, a request process 53, and a display control process 54. In addition, the storage unit 43 includes a button state information storage area 58.

  The CPU 41 operates as the detection unit 21 illustrated in FIG. 4 by executing the detection process 51. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the button state control unit 22 shown in FIG. 4 by executing the button state control process 52. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the request unit 23 illustrated in FIG. 4 by executing the request process 53. The CPU 41 operates as the display control unit 24 illustrated in FIG. 4 by executing the display control process 54. The button state information storage area 58 functions as a storage area for storing the button state information DB 28 shown in FIG. As a result, the computer 40 that has executed the graph display program 50 functions as the graph display device 20.

  Further, the graph generation apparatus 30 can be realized by a computer 60 shown in FIG. 14, for example. The computer 60 includes a CPU 61, a memory 62, a nonvolatile storage unit 63, an input / output I / F 64, and a network I / F 65. The CPU 61, the memory 62, the storage unit 63, the input / output I / F 64, and the network I / F 65 are connected to each other via a bus 66.

  The storage unit 63 can be realized by an HDD, a flash memory, or the like. The storage unit 63 as a recording medium stores a graph generation program 70 for causing the computer 60 to function as the graph generation device 30. The CPU 61 reads the graph generation program 70 from the storage unit 63 and expands it in the memory 62, and sequentially executes the processes included in the graph generation program 70. The graph generation program 70 includes a reception process 71, an acquisition process 72, and a generation process 73. The storage unit also includes an SQL definition storage area 76, a display condition storage area 77, and a graph definition storage area 78.

  The CPU 61 operates as the reception unit 31 illustrated in FIG. 6 by executing the reception process 71. Further, the CPU 61 operates as the acquisition unit 32 illustrated in FIG. 6 by executing the acquisition process 72. Further, the CPU 61 operates as the generation unit 33 illustrated in FIG. 6 by executing the generation process 73. The SQL definition storage area 76 functions as a storage area for storing the SQL definition 36 shown in FIG. The display condition storage area 77 functions as a storage area in which the display condition DB 37 shown in FIG. 6 is stored. The graph definition storage area 78 functions as a storage area in which the graph definition DB 38 shown in FIG. 6 is stored. As a result, the computer 60 that has executed the graph generation program 70 functions as the graph generation device 30.

  Each of the graph display device 20 and the graph generation device 30 can be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

  In step S <b> 11, the request unit 23 transmits an initial screen request for displaying an initial screen on the display screen 100 to the graph generation device 30. Next, in step S12, the display control unit 24 receives the HTML file indicating the initial screen transmitted from the graph generation device 30, and controls the display unit 48 to display an image based on the HTML file.

  Next, in step S <b> 13, the detection unit 21 detects a button selected by the user via the input unit 47. Next, in step S <b> 14, the button state control unit 22 determines whether the selected button is the display setting button 111. In the case of the display setting button 111, the process proceeds to step S15, and the button exclusive control process shown in FIG. 16 is executed.

  In step S151 of the button exclusive control process illustrated in FIG. 16, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of the selected display setting button 111. Specifically, the button state control unit 22 sets “selected” when the state information of the selected display setting button 111 in the button state information DB 28 is “selectable” or “additionally selectable”. Update. If it is “selected”, it is updated to “selectable”.

  Next, in step S152, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection states of the other display setting buttons 111 included in the same group as the selected display setting button 111 according to the exclusion condition. The same group here is a group of display setting buttons 111 having the same display condition or category of display items as shown in FIG. In FIG. 17, a group of display setting buttons 111 surrounded by a thick frame is one group.

  In accordance with the exclusion condition, for example, in a group having the same display condition, when the summary button or the “all” button is selected, the other buttons in the group are updated to “selectable”. When the display item name is selected, the summary button or the “all” button is updated to “selectable”, and other display condition names other than “selected” are updated to “additionally selectable”. In addition, in the group having the same category, the display item name other than “selected” is updated to “additionally selectable”.

  Next, in step S153, the button state control unit 22 updates the selection state of the display setting button 111 included in a group different from the selected display setting button 111 according to the exclusion condition. For example, when the selected display setting button 111 is the display setting button 111 included in the display condition, the display setting button 111 included in the other display condition is updated to “unselectable”. In other groups, the display setting button indicating the display setting related only to the display condition set to “selection disabled” is also set to “selection disabled”.

  When the selected display setting button 111 is a display setting button 111 corresponding to any display item, the display setting button 111 included in another category different from the selected display item is updated to “selectable”. To do.

  Next, in step S154, the button state control unit 22 updates the state information of the apply button 110 to “select”, and returns to the graph display process. In this way, each time one display setting button 111 is selected, updating is performed in the order of the selected display setting button 111 → the other display setting button 111 of the same group → the display setting button 111 of another group. Therefore, it is possible to always keep optimization of the state of the entire display setting button 111.

  Next, when a negative determination is made in step S14 and the process proceeds to step S16, the button state control unit 22 determines whether or not the selected button is a period designation button. If it is a period designation button, the process proceeds to step S17, and if it is not a period designation button, the process proceeds to step S18.

  In step S <b> 17, the button state control unit 22 updates the state information of the selected period designation button to “selected” and the state information of other period designation buttons to “selectable” in the button state information DB 28.

  In step S18, when the selected button is the registered display setting selection button 103, the state of each button in the button state information DB 28 is set so that the button state control unit 22 becomes the selected registered display setting. Update information. When the selected button is the clear button 109, the button state control unit 22 updates the state information of each button in the button state information DB 28 so as to be in the initial state. If the selected button is the print button 101, the enlarge button 102, or the reduce button 112, the process is passed to the display control unit 24. At this stage, the apply button 110 is not selected because it is “not selectable” in the process of step S23 described later.

  Next, in step S19, the button state control unit 22 controls the display of each button so as to represent the state information of each button stored in the button state information DB.

  Next, in step S20, the detection unit 21 determines whether or not the apply button 110 has been selected. When the apply button 110 is selected, the button state control unit 22 updates the state information of the apply button 110 in the button state information DB 28 to “selected”, and the process proceeds to step S21 and is selected. If not, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S <b> 21, the request unit 23 acquires the currently selected period designation button and display setting button 111 from the button state information DB 28. Then, the request unit 23 generates a graph display request including the period indicated by the acquired period specification button and the display setting information indicated by the display setting button 111 and transmits the graph display request to the graph generation apparatus 30.

  Next, in step S22, the display control unit 24 receives the HTML file in which the file path of the graph image transmitted from the graph generation device 30 is embedded. The display control unit 24 controls the display unit 48 to display an image based on the HTML file. Further, the display control unit 24 reads the graph image stored in the storage area of the graph generation apparatus 30 indicated by the file path embedded in the HTML file, and displays the read graph image in the graph display area 104 of the display screen 100. The display unit 48 is controlled.

  Next, in step S23, the button state control unit 22 updates the state information of the applied button 110 in the button state information DB 28 to “selectable”.

  Next, in step S <b> 24, it is determined whether or not the user has instructed the processing end of the graph display control system 10 via the input unit 47 on the Web browser. If the process end is not instructed, the process returns to step S13. If the process end is instructed, the graph display process is ended.

  When the process returns to step S13, the graph is re-displayed according to the newly selected button and the period and display setting corresponding to the button whose selection state remains “selected”. In this embodiment, since the selection state of each button is stored in the button state information DB 28, the state of the button once selected is held until the selection is released. Therefore, when the graph is redisplayed, it is not necessary to select again a period or display setting that does not need to be changed. For example, when the “Surgery” display condition “Department” and the “Number of outpatients” display item are selected while the button 107 is selected this week, a graph as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. While this graph is displayed, select “Internal Medicine”, “Neurology” and “Gastroenterology” in the display condition “Department”, and apply button without selecting anything for the period designation button. 110 is selected. In that case, a graph as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed while the designation of the period is inherited.

  In the graph generation device 30, when the receiving unit 31 receives an initial screen request from the graph display device 20, the graph display process illustrated in FIG. 18 starts.

  In step S31, an initial screen generation process shown in FIG. 19 is executed.

  In step S311 of the initial screen generation process illustrated in FIG. 19, the acquisition unit 32 acquires a medical department name list and a ward name list as a display condition name list from the display condition DB 37. Next, in step S312, the generation unit 33 embeds the acquired display condition name list in the screen form stored in the predetermined area. In step S313, the generation unit 33 converts the screen form in which the display condition name list is embedded into an HTML file. Next, in step S314, the generation unit 33 transmits the generated HTML file of the initial screen to the graph display device 20, and returns to the graph generation process.

  Next, in step S <b> 32, the reception unit 31 determines whether a graph display request has been received from the graph display device 20. If a graph display request has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S33, and if it has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S43.

  In step S <b> 33, the acquisition unit 32 extracts the period and display setting information included in the graph display request received by the reception unit 31. The acquisition unit 32 determines whether to acquire data from either the electronic medical record DB device 80 or the medical accounting device 90 based on the extracted display settings. In the case of the electronic medical record DB apparatus 80, the process proceeds to step S34, and in the case of the medical accounting apparatus 90, the process proceeds to step S41.

  In step S34, the acquisition unit 32 acquires the SQL definition 36 corresponding to the display item included in the display setting extracted from the graph display request from a predetermined storage area. Next, in step S35, the acquisition unit 32 creates a search SQL by substituting the period extracted from the graph display request and the display condition included in the display setting into the acquired SQL definition 36. Next, in step S36, the acquisition unit 32 acquires data from the electronic medical record DB device 80 using the retrieved search SQL.

  Next, in step S37, the acquisition unit 32 totals the acquired data according to display items to be displayed on the graph. Then, the generation unit 33 generates a graph image based on the data collected by the acquisition unit 32 and the graph definition defined in the graph definition DB 38.

  Next, in step S38, the generation unit 33 stores the generated graph image in a predetermined storage area. Next, in step S39, the generation unit 33 embeds the file path (storage location) of the generated graph image in the screen form. Next, in step S40, the generation unit 33 converts the screen form in which the file path is embedded into an HTML file. Next, the generation unit 33 transmits the generated HTML file to the graph display device 20 in step S40.

  When a negative determination is made in step S33 and the process proceeds to step S41, the acquisition unit 32 uses the period and display setting extracted from the graph display request as parameters, and sends data to the medical accounting device 90 via the medical I / F device 89. Request. Next, in step S <b> 42, the acquisition unit 32 acquires a data set corresponding to the parameters returned from the medical accounting device 90 via the medical I / F device 89. Then, the process proceeds to step S37.

  Next, in step S43, it is determined whether or not a processing end notification has been received from the graph display device 20. If not received, the process proceeds to step S32. If received, the graph generation process ends.

  As described above, according to the graph display control system according to the present embodiment, when a graph including a change in value according to the time of the display item is displayed in the graph display device, the display screen includes the time axis. A time range (period) is designated and information on the designated time range is stored. Then, when the display of a graph in which the display item is changed from the currently displayed graph is instructed, the time range is not specified again unless it is necessary to change the specification of the stored current time range. That is, since it is possible to take over the specification of the current time range, it is possible to reduce the troublesomeness given to the user.

  Also, according to the graph display control system according to the present embodiment, display setting buttons that can be displayed simultaneously are selectably displayed in the graph display apparatus, and display setting buttons that cannot be displayed simultaneously are displayed unselectable. Thereby, a user-desired graph can be easily displayed without being conscious of display conditions and combinations of display items that cannot be selected by the user. In particular, display conditions for grouping data groups by attribute and display item categories are provided, and buttons that indicate display conditions or display items that are in an exclusive relationship are arranged in groups, making display settings easy. Can be done.

  Further, according to the graph display control system according to the present embodiment, in the graph generation device, when there are a plurality of selected display items, the larger the number of display items, the shorter the horizontal axis and the vertical Distribute the axes to the left and right of the graph. Thereby, even when there are a plurality of display items, the contents of the graph can be easily grasped.

  In the above description, the graph display program 50 is stored in the storage unit 43 and the graph generation program 70 is stored (installed) in the storage unit 63 in advance.
