  Status information is displayed in the status area 42.

  In the image area 43, thumbnail images of medical images and image supplementary information are displayed. Here, the number of unread images (the number of images that have been shot but not yet read) and the number of uncaptured images (number of orders) are displayed as the image supplementary information.

The CPU 21 recognizes the width of the display frame. That is, the CPU 21 functions as a recognition unit. The width of the display frame is the horizontal length of the display frame in the display screen. The width of the display frame may be represented by the number of pixels, or may be represented by a unit of length such as mm or inch. However, the width of the display frame is compared in a unified unit.
For example, when a list screen is newly displayed, the CPU 21 determines the display position of the list screen on the display based on the display resolution (pixel) of the display unit 23, the initial display range, and the like, and the width of the display frame ( Pixel). The initial display range is information indicating a range when a list screen is newly displayed, and is determined in advance. The initial display range may be determined by a ratio of the length in the width direction with respect to the display, such as 80%, or may be determined from how many pixels to how many pixels from the end.
When changing the width of the list screen that is already displayed, the CPU 21 detects the positions (coordinates) of both ends in the width direction of the display frame that have been changed by the operation from the operation unit 22, and displays the width of the display frame. Recognize

  CPU21 determines the display mode of each item which belongs to the said classification for every classification according to the width of a display frame. That is, the CPU 21 functions as a determination unit.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B show display frames for one patient in the list screen. The method of changing the display mode of each item in accordance with the change in the width of the display frame differs for each of the text area 41, status area 42, and image area 43. FIG. 3A shows a display mode when the width of the display frame is relatively large, and FIG. 3B shows a display mode when the width of the display frame is relatively small.

  For the first type, the CPU 21 switches the layout of patient-related information between single-stage display and multi-stage display according to the width of the display frame. When the width of the display frame becomes smaller than the predetermined width, the CPU 21 switches the items of the same group among the items included in the first type from single-level display to multiple-level display.

FIG. 4A shows an example in which each item in the text area 41 is displayed in one row.
The text area 41 includes a reception number 41a, a comment presence / absence 41b, a waiting time 41c, a reception time 41d, a patient photo 41e, a gender 41f, a patient ID 41g, an age 41h, a birth date 41i, a patient name (kanji) 41j, and a patient name ( Kana) 41k is displayed.
The receipt number 41a and the comment presence / absence 41b are set as a group G1. The waiting time 41c and the reception time 41d are set as the group G2. Patient photograph 41e and gender 41f are set as group G3. Patient ID 41g, age 41h, and date of birth 41i are set as a group G4. The patient name (kanji) 41j and the patient name (kana) 41k are set as a group G5.

When the width of the display frame is reduced, as shown in FIG. 4B, the reception number 41a and the comment presence / absence 41b included in the group G1 are displayed in two stages. The same applies to the groups G2 to G5. In the two-stage display, characters and icons may be made smaller than in the case of the one-stage display.
The order in which the display modes of the items are switched follows the priority order for each group set in advance in the group information corresponding to the user ID of the login user. A rule such as switching the display mode of each item in order from the end may be determined.

  Conversely, when the width of the display frame is increased from the state shown in FIG. 4B, a plurality of items displayed in two rows within the same group are displayed in one row as shown in FIG. 4A. Become so.

  For the second type, according to the width of the display frame, the CPU 21 displays the display mode of the patient-related information, the icon display corresponding to the state indicated by the status information, and the order in which the status indicated by the status information is in chronological order. The display is switched.

FIG. 5 shows large icons and small icons corresponding to the states indicated by the status information (unphotographed, unread, being interpreted, suspended, completed).
“Unphotographed” is a state in which the system has received the order information. “Unread” is a state in which an image is taken and the image is stored. “Under interpretation” is a state in which a viewer screen for medical images is displayed. “Hold” is a state in which the user has instructed the hold. “Completed” is a state in which the user has instructed completion.

The large icon is a design of the state indicated by the status information, and has a larger width than the small icon. The small icon indicates what number the state indicated by the status information is in chronological order. Here, the small icon has five rectangles arranged in the vertical direction, and indicates the state of the five stages by changing the color or pattern of the corresponding rectangle. In the small icon, a square indicating what number state it is may be represented by the same color as the corresponding large icon.
When the width of the display frame is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the status information is represented by a large icon, and when the width of the display frame is less than the predetermined threshold, the status information is represented by a small icon.

  For the third type, the CPU 21 changes the number of medical images displayed and the type of medical image according to the width of the display frame. Examples of types of medical images include unread images and the latest images for each examination date. Further, the CPU 21 changes the level of detail of the image supplementary information according to the width of the display frame.

FIG. 6A shows a display example of each item in the image area 43. In the image area 43, unphotographed image icons 43a, 43b, thumbnail images 43c, 43d, 43e, the number of unread images 43f, an unread image description 43g, an unread image number 43h, and an unphotographed image description 43i are displayed. ing.
The unphotographed image icons 43a and 43b are icons representing unphotographed images. Here, the number of unphotographed image icons 43a and 43b is also included in the number of displayed medical images.
The thumbnail images 43c, 43d, and 43e are thumbnail images of medical images that have been taken. A past image can be displayed by performing a slide operation on the image portions (unphotographed image icons 43a and 43b, thumbnail images 43c, 43d, and 43e) in the image area 43.
The mark M is a mark representing an unread image.
The date described in the image area 43 is a shooting date or a date when an order is issued.

  When the width of the display frame decreases from the state shown in FIG. 6A, the number of medical images displayed decreases by one. Further, when the width of the display frame becomes smaller than the predetermined width, the explanatory text of the image supplementary information is not displayed.

  FIGS. 6B to 6D show display examples of the image area 43 when the number of displayed images is “2”. Whether to display each item in the image area 43 by any of the methods in FIGS. 6B to 6D is preset for each user. This setting information is stored in association with the user ID in the data management server 10 or the client device 20.

FIG. 6B shows an example in which the latest image is displayed in chronological order. Here, unphotographed image icons 43a and 43b are displayed. As the image supplementary information, only the number of unread images 43f and the number of unphotographed images 43h are displayed, and the description sentence 43g of the unread image and the description sentence 43i of the unphotographed image are not displayed.
FIG. 6C shows an example in which only the latest one image is displayed in chronological order for each examination date. Here, an unphotographed image icon 43a among all five images on November 20, 2016 and a thumbnail image 43j among all three images on October 1, 2016 are displayed. In addition, the number of images for each examination date is displayed.
FIG. 6D shows an example in which only unread images are displayed in chronological order. Here, thumbnail images 43c and 43d with the mark M added are displayed.

  When the width of the display frame is reduced, as shown in FIG. 6E, unphotographed image icons 43a and 43b and unread image thumbnail images 43c, 43d and 43e are displayed in two stages. It is good.

  The CPU 21 maintains the height of the display frame even when the display mode of each item is changed according to the change in the width of the display frame. The height of the display frame is the vertical length of the display frame in the display screen. That is, the number of items displayed in the list screen does not change.

  CPU21 determines the display mode of each item according to the priority order preset with respect to several types. For example, when reducing the width of the display frame, the CPU 21 changes the display mode of each item belonging to a certain type according to the priority at the time of reduction, and after changing the display mode of the type. The display mode of each item whose priority order belongs to the following type is changed. The priority for each type is preset for each user, and is stored in the data management server 10 or the client device 20 in association with the user ID.

  CPU21 displays patient related information in a display frame with the determined display mode. That is, the CPU 21 functions as a display control unit.

Next, the operation in the first embodiment will be described.
When each process is executed in the client device 20, a login operation to the medical information management system 100 is performed by an operation from the operation unit 22. Specifically, when a user ID and password are input from the operation unit 22, the input information is transmitted to the data management server 10 via the communication unit 24. In the data management server 10, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the combination of the user ID and password registered in advance matches, and performs user authentication.
When displaying patient-related information on the client device 20, the CPU 21 acquires group information corresponding to the patient-related information and the user ID of the client device 20 from the data management server 10 via the communication unit 24.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing screen width reduction processing executed by the client device 20. This process is a process for instructing the reduction of the screen width with respect to the list screen displayed on the display unit 23, and is realized by a software process in cooperation with the CPU 21 and the program stored in the ROM 25.
Here, the priority for each type for changing the display mode at the time of reduction is set in the order of the first type (text area 41), the third type (image area 43), and the second type (status area 42). Suppose that

  First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an operation for instructing the reduction of the screen width has been performed on the list screen displayed on the display unit 23 by the user's operation from the operation unit 22 (step S1). ). Specifically, the CPU 21 recognizes the width of the list screen (display frame), and whether or not the screen width after the operation is less than a threshold set in advance as a boundary for switching the display mode of each item on the list screen. Determine whether.

  When an operation for instructing reduction of the screen width is performed (step S1; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not all items set in the group in the text area 41 are displayed in a two-stage display ( Step S2). Specifically, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the items in the same group are displayed in two stages based on the group information.

  If there is an item that is not displayed in two levels among the items set in the text area 41 (step S2; NO), the CPU 21 is set in the group according to the priority of the group in the text area 41. The item is changed from the first display to the second display (step S3). That is, when the width of the list screen is less than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching an item included in a certain group from a one-stage display to a two-stage display), the CPU 21 The display mode of each item is determined so that the items are switched from the one-level display to the two-level display, and the patient related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S2, when all the items set in the group in the text area 41 are displayed in two rows (step S2; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the explanatory text of the image area 43 is displayed. Judgment is made (step S4).

  When the explanatory text of the image area 43 is displayed (step S4; YES), the CPU 21 changes the explanatory text of the image area 43 to non-display (step S5). That is, when the width of the list screen is less than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching the description of the image area 43 from display to non-display), the CPU 21 changes the description of the image area 43 to non-display. The display mode of the image supplementary information is determined, and the patient related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S4, when the explanatory text of the image area 43 is not displayed (step S4; NO), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is the minimum number (for example, 2). Is determined (step S6).

When the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is larger than the minimum number (step S6; NO), the CPU 21 decreases the number of images displayed in the image area 43 (step S7). That is, when the width of the list screen is less than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching the number of images in the image area 43), the CPU 21 displays a medical image so as to reduce the number of images displayed in the image area 43. A mode is determined, and patient related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.
After step S3, step S5, and step S7, the process returns to step S1 to repeat the process.

  In step S6, when the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is the minimum number (step S6; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the status area 42 is a large icon display (step S8). ).

  When the status area 42 is a large icon display (step S8; YES), the CPU 21 changes the status area 42 to a small icon display (step S9). That is, when the width of the list screen is less than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching from a large icon to a small icon), the CPU 21 changes the status information so that the large icon displayed in the status area 42 is changed to a small icon. The display mode is determined, and the patient-related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S8, when the status area 42 is not displayed with a large icon (step S8; NO), or after step S9, the screen width reduction process ends.

  When the width of the list screen (display frame) is further reduced, the items are sequentially hidden in accordance with the preset priority order for each item. This priority order can be set for each user.

  Further, even when a display having a relatively low resolution is used as the display unit 23, the display mode of the patient-related information is determined by the same process as the screen width reduction process based on the screen size (width). Can do.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing screen width expansion processing executed by the client device 20. This process is a process of instructing the enlargement of the screen width for the list screen displayed on the display unit 23, and is realized by a software process in cooperation with the CPU 21 and the program stored in the ROM 25.
Here, the priority for each type for changing the display mode at the time of enlargement is set in the order of the second type (status area 42), the third type (image area 43), and the first type (text area 41). Suppose that

  First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an operation for instructing the enlargement of the screen width has been performed on the list screen displayed on the display unit 23 by the user's operation from the operation unit 22 (step S11). ). Specifically, the CPU 21 recognizes the width of the list screen (display frame), and whether or not the screen width after the operation is equal to or greater than a threshold set in advance as a boundary for switching the display mode of each item on the list screen. Determine whether.

  When an operation for instructing enlargement of the screen width is performed (step S11; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the status area 42 is a small icon display (step S12).

  When the status area 42 is a small icon display (step S12; YES), the CPU 21 changes the status area 42 to a large icon display (step S13). That is, when the width of the list screen is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching from a small icon to a large icon), the CPU 21 changes the status information so that the small icon displayed in the status area 42 is changed to a large icon. The display mode is determined, and the patient-related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S12, when the status area 42 is not a small icon display (step S12; NO), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is the maximum number (for example, 5). (Step S14).

  When the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is smaller than the maximum number (step S14; NO), the CPU 21 increases the number of images displayed in the image area 43 (step S15). That is, the CPU 21 displays the medical image so as to increase the number of images displayed in the image area 43 when the width of the list screen is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching the number of images in the image area 43). A mode is determined, and patient related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S14, when the number of images displayed in the image area 43 is the maximum number (step S14; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether the explanatory text of the image area 43 is displayed (step S14). S16).

  When the explanatory text of the image area 43 is not displayed (step S16; NO), the CPU 21 displays the explanatory text of the image area 43 (step S17). That is, when the width of the list screen is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching the description of the image area 43 from non-display to display), the CPU 21 displays the image supplementary information so that the description of the image area 43 is displayed. The display mode is determined, and the patient-related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  In step S16, when the explanatory text of the image area 43 is displayed (step S16; YES), the CPU 21 determines whether all items set in the group in the text area 41 are displayed in one row. Judgment is made (step S18). Specifically, the CPU 21 determines whether or not items in the same group are displayed in a single row based on the group information.

  When there is an item that is not displayed in one row among the items set in the text area 41 (step S18; NO), the CPU 21 is set in the group according to the priority of the group in the text area 41. The item is changed from the two-level display to the one-level display (step S19). That is, when the width of the list screen is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold (a boundary value for switching an item included in a certain group from two-level display to one-level display), the CPU 21 selects the group whose display mode should be changed next. The display mode of each item is determined so that the items are switched from the two-level display to the one-level display, and the patient related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode.

  After step S19, the CPU 21 again determines whether or not all items set as a group in the text area 41 are displayed in a single row (step S20).

  After step S13, step S15, step S17, or when there is an item that is not displayed in one row among the items set in the text area 41 in step S20 (step S20; NO), step Returning to S11, the process is repeated.

  In step S18 or step S20, if all items set in the group in the text area 41 are displayed in a single row (step S18; YES, step S20; YES), the screen width enlargement process ends.

  Further, even when a display having a relatively high resolution is used as the display unit 23, the display mode of the patient-related information is determined by the same process as the screen width expansion process based on the screen size (width). Can do.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, for each type, the display mode of each item belonging to the type is determined, and the patient-related information is displayed in the display frame in the determined display mode. Even if the width of the display frame in which patient-related information about the patient is displayed is changed, it is possible to provide a display suitable for the user while maintaining the amount of information as much as possible.

  For example, for the first type, the layout of patient-related information is switched between single-stage display and multi-stage display according to the width of the display frame, so the display mode of each item can be changed without reducing the amount of information. it can. Specifically, when the width of the display frame becomes smaller than a predetermined width, among the items belonging to the first type, items in the same group can be switched from single-stage display to multiple-stage display.

  For the second type, the status information display mode is switched between the large icon display and the small icon display according to the width of the display frame, so that a display suitable for the user can be provided without reducing the amount of information. Can do.

  In addition, for the third type, the number of medical images displayed or the type of medical image is changed according to the width of the display frame, so that a display suitable for the user can be provided. Further, since the level of detail of the image supplementary information is changed according to the width of the display frame, detailed display of the image supplementary information can be omitted when there is no room for the width of the display frame.

  Further, by maintaining the height of each display frame in the list screen, the number of cases (number of patients) displayed on the list screen can be kept constant.

  In addition, since the display mode of each item is determined according to the priority order set for a plurality of types, the display mode of each item can be switched in order for each type according to the change in the width of the display frame. it can.
