Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. The information processing apparatus 100 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, an HDD 104, a display unit 105, an input unit 106, and a communication unit 107. The CPU 101 reads the control program stored in the ROM 102 and executes various processes. The RAM 103 is used as a temporary storage area such as a main memory and a work area for the CPU 101. The HDD 104 stores various data, various programs, and the like. Functions and processes of the information processing apparatus 100 described later are realized by the CPU 101 reading a program stored in the ROM 102 or the HDD 104 and executing the program.

  The display unit 105 displays various information. The input unit 106 includes a keyboard and a mouse, and accepts various operations by the user. The communication unit 107 performs communication processing with an external device via a network.

  The HDD 104 stores a patient DB 111 and a medical DB 112. The patient DB 111 stores information related to the patient, such as name, gender, date of birth, in association with the patient ID. The medical DB 112 stores medical information such as a medical information ID, a type of medical information, date and time, a doctor in charge, and a simple image in association with the patient ID. The patient DB 111 and the medical DB 112 are not necessarily included in the information processing apparatus 100, and may be stored in a server apparatus that can communicate with the information processing apparatus 100. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 may receive information stored in the patient DB 111 and the medical DB 112 from the server apparatus via the network.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing medical information display processing by the information processing apparatus 100. In S200, the CPU 101 determines a target patient to be processed. Specifically, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 105 to display a patient list of patients stored in the patient DB 111. For example, the CPU 101 displays patient information of one patient in one line, and displays patient information in a list format that lists patient information of a plurality of patients. And according to user operation, the selection instruction | indication of a patient is received and the patient who concerns on a selection instruction | indication is determined as an object patient.

  Next, in S201, the CPU 101 determines the display format of the medical information list according to the user operation. Here, the medical information list is a list of simple information corresponding to the medical information of the target patient selected in S200. The simple information is information having a smaller data size than the medical information. Examples of the simple information include a part of the medical information, a reduced image such as a thumbnail of an image included in the medical information, and the like.

  In the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, two display formats, list display and matrix display, can be selected as display formats for displaying a list of medical information. The CPU 101 displays a selection screen that can select list display and matrix display, and determines a display format in accordance with a user operation on the selection screen. Note that if the display format is not selected by the user, the CPU 101 may determine a display format set in advance as an initial setting. For example, when the initial setting is a list format, the CPU 101 determines the display format to be a list format if no selection is made by the user.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a display format. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen for list display, and FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen for matrix display. In the list display of FIG. 3A, a list area 301 is provided on the left side of the display screen 300, and a medical information area 303 is provided on the right side of the list area 301, that is, an area that does not overlap the list area 301. . Also in the matrix display of FIG. 3B, a list area 311 is provided on the left side of the display screen 310, and a medical information area 313 is provided on the right side of the list area 311.

  The list area 301 of the list display displays a plurality of medical information as a list by displaying a plurality of lines with patient information of one patient as one line 302 in a list format. On the other hand, in the list area 311 of the matrix display, a plurality of pieces of medical information are displayed in a list by arranging medical information in the cells 312 of the matrix having time as columns and types as rows. As another example, the rows and columns of the matrix displayed in the list area 311 may be exchanged so that the time is the row and the type is the column.

  In the medical information area 303 in FIG. 3A, four areas 304a to 304d are provided. Detailed information (for example, medical images) of one piece of medical information is arranged in each of the areas 304a to 304d. That is, the CPU 101 can simultaneously display four pieces of medical information in the medical information area 303. The number of medical information that can be displayed in the medical information area 303 is not limited to the embodiment. In addition, it is assumed that the area sizes of the list area 301 and the medical information area 303 are determined in advance. Each area size can be arbitrarily set and changed.

  Returning to FIG. 2, if the display format is determined to be list display in S202 (Yes in S202), the CPU 101 advances the process to S203. If the display format is determined to be matrix display (No in S202), the CPU 101 advances the process to S207. In step S <b> 203, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 105 to display a display screen in a list display format. For example, the CPU 101 displays a display screen 300 shown in FIG. The CPU 101 further displays the medical information related to the target patient among the medical information stored in the medical DB 112 as medical information that can be selected as display target medical information displayed in the medical information area 303 in the list area 301.

  In step S <b> 204, the CPU 101 confirms whether an instruction to select medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 303 has been received according to a user operation. When the user selects one medical information from the medical information displayed in the list area 301 of the display screen 300, and further selects an area in which the selected medical information is arranged from the areas 304a to 304d, the CPU 101 Medical information and a selection instruction indicating a region are received. When the CPU 101 receives a selection instruction (Yes in S204), the CPU 101 advances the process to S205. If the CPU 101 has not accepted the selection instruction (No in S204), the process proceeds to S206.

  In step S <b> 205, the CPU 101 controls to display the medical information related to the selection instruction in the area related to the selection instruction. For example, in the list area 301 of the display screen 300 shown in FIG. 3, when a line 302 is selected and an area 304a is selected, medical information such as a CT image shown in the line 302 is displayed in the area 304a. Next, in S206, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not an end instruction has been accepted in response to a user operation. When the CPU 101 receives an end instruction (Yes in S206), the medical information display process ends. If the CPU 101 has not received an end instruction (No in S206), the process proceeds to S201.

  In step S <b> 207, the CPU 101 confirms whether the display target medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 313 has been selected by the user. For example, when the processing of S203 to S205 has already been performed and the processing of S207 is performed after the medical information is selected by the user in S204, the CPU 101 stores the medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 303. Judge that it is selected. If the medical information has been selected (Yes in S207), the CPU 101 advances the process to S208. If the medical information to be displayed is not selected (No in S207), the CPU 101 advances the process to S214.

  In step S <b> 208, the CPU 101 determines a type to be displayed as an item in the matrix of the list area 311. Here, the type is a type of medical information. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines the type of medical information being displayed in the display area and the type selected as the matrix item by the user operation as the types to be displayed as the matrix item. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the item setting screen 400. When the user checks the “display” column corresponding to the type to be added to the matrix item on the item setting screen 400, the checked type is selected as the matrix item. For example, medical information of “CT”, “blood”, “pathology”, and “MRI” is already displayed in the medical information area 303 of the display screen 300, and “CT”, “MRI” is displayed on the item setting screen 400. , “US”, “ES”, “photograph”, “karte” and “pathology” are selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, “ES”, “photograph”, “medical record”, “pathology”, and “blood” are determined as matrix items. . Note that the process of S208 is an example of a type determination process.

  The CPU 101 according to the present embodiment further determines the arrangement order of items in the matrix according to the category of each medical information. For example, the arrangement order of each item is determined so that medical information having the same large item attribute shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the sequential arrangement order is determined for “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, and “ES” belonging to the major item of “PACS image”.

  In step S <b> 209, the CPU 101 determines the time range of the matrix column in the list area 311. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines a range from the oldest date and time to the newest date and time of the selected medical information as the time range of the matrix column. For example, the date / time t1 corresponding to the cell 501 shown in FIG. 5 is the oldest date / time of the selected medical information, and the date / time t2 corresponding to the cell 502 is the newest date / time of the selected medical information. Suppose there is. In this case, the time range from t1 to t2 is determined as the time range of the matrix column. The process of S209 is an example of a range determination process. A predetermined margin may be taken for the range from the oldest date to the newest date of the selected medical information, and a wider range may be used as the time range of the matrix column.

  The CPU 101 may limit the time range based on the date and time of the selected medical information in step S209, and specific processing for that purpose is not limited to the embodiment. For example, the CPU 101 may determine a fixed period as a time range centering on the date and time of the selected medical information.

  Next, in S210, the CPU 101 creates a matrix based on the matrix item (type of medical information) determined in S208 and the time range determined in S209. Then, the CPU 101 arranges the simple information of the medical information to be displayed in the corresponding cell of the matrix. The medical information to be displayed is associated with the date and time within the time range determined in S209 and the type determined in S208 among the medical information of the target patient stored in the medical DB 112. Medical information. Note that the CPU 101 uses standard sizes determined for the row height and column width in the matrix. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the processing of S210 and S211. Here, the standard size is set in advance in the information processing apparatus 100 as a size suitable for displaying the scroll bars 601 and 602 in the list area 311 and displaying the matrix while scrolling the list area 311. To do. The process of S210 is an example of a creation process.

  Next, in S <b> 211, the CPU 101 obtains a display magnification such that the entire matrix created in S <b> 210 fits in the list area 311. Then, the CPU 101 controls to display the display screen 300 in which the matrix of the obtained display magnification is arranged in the list area 311. The process of S211 is an example of a display control process. The CPU 101 appropriately reduces the column width so that the entire time range determined in step S <b> 209 falls within the horizontal width of the list area 311. Note that when there are a plurality of pieces of medical information of the same item and the same date and time, the CPU 101 arranges a plurality of cells of medical information side by side. Therefore, in consideration of this point, the display magnification of the column width is set. decide. In addition, the CPU 101 appropriately reduces the row height so that all of the types (items) determined in S <b> 208 are within the vertical length of the list area 311. As shown in FIG. 6, the matrix of the standard size is reduced in column width and row height, and the entire matrix is displayed in the list area 311 without displaying the scroll bars 601 and 602.

  Further, in the information processing apparatus 100, the minimum values of the column width and the row height are determined. When the column width and row height determined by the above processing are smaller than the minimum values, the CPU 101 changes the values smaller than the minimum values to the minimum values, and then scrolls. The entire matrix is displayed in the list area 311 without displaying the bars 601 and 602.

  Next, in S <b> 212, the CPU 101 confirms whether an instruction to select medical information displayed in the cell 312 has been received in response to a user operation. It is assumed that the user selects medical information arranged in a matrix cell displayed in the list area 301 of the display screen 300, and further selects an area in which the selected medical information is arranged from the areas 314a to 314d. In this case, the CPU 101 receives medical information and a selection instruction indicating a region. When the CPU 101 receives a selection instruction (Yes in S212), the CPU 101 advances the process to S213. If the CPU 101 has not received a selection instruction (No in S212), the process proceeds to S206. In step S <b> 213, the CPU 101 controls to display the medical information related to the selection instruction in the area related to the selection instruction in the medical information area 313.

  On the other hand, in S214, the CPU 101 determines the type of display target. During the processing of S213, since there is no selected medical information, the CPU 101 determines the type selected by the user operation on the item setting screen 400 as a type to be displayed as a matrix item. Next, in S <b> 215, the CPU 101 determines the time range of the matrix column in the list area 311. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines, as the time range, the range from the oldest date to the newest date among the dates and times of all medical information of the target patient stored in the medical DB 112.

  Next, in S216, the CPU 101 creates a matrix based on the matrix item (type of medical information) determined in S214 and the time range determined in S215, and displays the medical information to be displayed in the matrix. Place in the corresponding cell. Note that the CPU 101 uses standard sizes determined for the row height and column width in the matrix. When there are a plurality of pieces of medical information of the same item and the same date and time, the CPU 101 arranges the cells of the plurality of pieces of medical information side by side, so that the horizontal size of the entire matrix is determined in consideration of this point. .

  Next, in S217, the CPU 101 controls to display the display screen 300 in which the matrix created in S216 is arranged in the list area 311. Then, when the vertical size of the created matrix is larger than the vertical size of the list area 311, the CPU 101 arranges the upper side of the matrix in the list area 311 and controls to display the vertical scroll bar. . Furthermore, when the horizontal size of the matrix is larger than the horizontal size of the list area 311, the CPU 101 controls the right side of the matrix to be arranged in the list area 311 and displays a horizontal axis scroll bar. Note that the size of the row height and the column width referred to in S215 may be smaller than the standard size.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment limits the medical information displayed on the display screen based on the medical information selected by the user. Therefore, the user can easily find and display necessary medical information. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 can display appropriate medical information without requiring a complicated operation by the user.

  As a first modification, the CPU 101 may increase the height of the line corresponding to the item of the already selected medical information type in S210 as compared to the height of the line corresponding to another item. . FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a matrix according to the first modification. Assume that medical information of the types “CT”, “MRI”, “pathology”, and “blood” shown in FIG. 3 has already been selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 101 sets the row heights of “CT”, “MRI”, “pathology”, and “blood” other than the selected type, such as “US”, for example. Increase the line height of the item corresponding to the type of. More specifically, in the information processing apparatus 100, it is assumed that the ratio between the height of the selected type of medical information and the height of the other type of row is determined in advance. Then, the CPU 101 determines the height of each row so that all items to be displayed are displayed while maintaining this ratio.

  Further, as a second modification example, the CPU 101 may exclude, from S210, the types for which the medical information of the target patient does not exist among the types of display targets in S210. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, “ES”, “photograph”, “karte”, and “pathology” are selected on the item setting screen 400, but “US”, It is assumed that there is no medical information of “ES” and “photograph”. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, “US”, “ES”, and “photograph” are excluded from the items of the matrix. As a result, only items necessary for the user can be displayed.

  As a third modification, the medical information display process described with reference to FIG. 2 and the like may be performed in cooperation with a plurality of devices. For example, the first device included in the information processing system may perform the process of S200, and the second device may perform other processes. As another example, the first device included in the information processing system may perform processing related to display, and the second device may perform other processing.
