<Processing flow>
FIG. 5 is an example of a flowchart illustrating a flow of sharing electronic medical record information for an animal patient by the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment.

(First scenario)
Regarding the flow of sharing animal patient information by the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment, first, the veterinarian of the veterinary hospital B belonging to the same group as the veterinary hospital A uses the veterinary hospital terminal 300 (ID_B001) of the veterinary hospital B. It will be described using a scenario in which the owner A of the veterinary hospital A is requested to access the electronic medical record information for the veterinary patient A of the veterinary patient A.

Step S101
First, in step S101, the veterinarian of the veterinary hospital B accesses the server terminal 100 with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 (ID_B001) of the veterinary hospital B, and goes to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A of the owner A of the veterinary hospital A. The access request is made, and the reception unit 132 of the server terminal 100 receives the access request.

In the server terminal 100, when the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital B belonging to the same group is authorized to access all the electronic medical record information for veterinary patients of the veterinary hospital A, the veterinarian is in the veterinary patient database 122. An operation is performed to search the folder of the veterinary hospital A, identify the veterinary patient A of the owner A, and request access to the veterinary patient information. This access request can be made, for example, by selecting an icon indicating the folder of the animal patient A displayed on the screen of the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300.

On the other hand, in the server terminal 100, if the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital B is not authorized to access all the electronic medical record information for veterinary patients of the veterinary hospital A, for example, a veterinarian may be a veterinarian at the veterinary hospital. By inputting the ID of the animal patient A at the terminal 300 and transmitting this to the server terminal 100, an operation for requesting access to the animal patient information is performed. The veterinarians of the veterinary hospital B, for example, respond to the request of the owner A who came to the veterinary hospital B on the secondary medical care side for the detailed examination of the animal patient A, the second opinion, etc. The ID of the animal patient A can be obtained by contacting the veterinary hospital A to disclose the ID of the animal patient A, or by receiving the disclosure of the ID of the animal patient A from the owner A who has obtained the ID of the animal patient A from the veterinary hospital A in advance. Can be obtained.

Alternatively, the owner A obtains in advance the URL for accessing the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the animal patient A of the animal hospital A, and the URL is input by the animal hospital terminal 300 of the animal hospital B to the server. Access to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the animal patient A of the animal hospital A stored in the animal patient database 122 of the terminal 100 may be permitted. In this case, the owner obtains a two-dimensional bar code (QR code, etc.) indicating the URL in advance and saves it in his / her own mobile terminal, etc., and displays the two-dimensional bar code on the screen of the mobile terminal to display the two-dimensional bar code of Animal Hospital B. By having the animal hospital terminal 300 read the two-dimensional bar code, URL information is input to the animal hospital terminal 300, and the animal patient stored in the animal patient database 122 of the server terminal 100 from the animal hospital terminal 300 of the animal hospital B It may be possible to access the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of A.

The ID of animal patient A, the URL for accessing the electronic medical record information for the animal patient, or its QR code will be included in the referral letter when a veterinarian at one veterinary hospital creates a referral letter to another veterinary hospital. By describing it, it can be disclosed to other veterinary hospitals.

The animal patient A stored in the animal patient database 122 of the server terminal 100 from the animal hospital terminal 300 using the ID of the animal patient A, the URL for accessing the electronic medical record information for the animal patient, or the QR code thereof. When the access to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient is requested, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 sends the access request to the animal hospital terminal 300 only to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A. Is configured to allow access to. As a result, the veterinary hospital terminal 300 requesting access to the animal patient electronic medical record information of the animal patient A of the owner A can be the animal patient electronic medical record information of another animal patient of the same owner A or another owner. Access to is restricted.

Step S102
Next, in step S102, the data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 that received the access request is an electronic medical record for animal patients shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 based on the ID of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 that is the access request source. Identify the information. In this scenario, veterinary clinic B belongs to the same group as veterinary clinic A. The data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 refers to the ID of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 and the group information stored in the veterinary patient database 122, and identifies that the veterinary hospital B belongs to the same group as the veterinary hospital A. Next, the information to be shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the access request source is specified according to the viewing restriction and the editing restriction specified in "Veterinary hospital in group" in Table 1.

Step S103
Then, in step S103, the data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 transmits and shares the specified shared information to the veterinary hospital terminal 300 that is the access request source. The shared information is presented on the screen of the electronic medical record for animal patients displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300. According to the viewing restrictions and editing restrictions specified in "Veterinary hospitals in the group" in Table 1, as an example, since the animal hospitals in the group can view basic information on animal patients, the display operation unit 320 of the animal hospital terminal 300 The veterinary patient basic information is presented in the veterinary patient electronic medical record screen displayed above. On the other hand, as an example, since the medical examination information is restricted from being viewed at the veterinary hospitals in the group, the medical examination information is presented in the electronic medical record screen for animal patients displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300. Not done. In this case, on the electronic medical record screen for animal patients on the veterinary hospital terminal 300, a message indicating viewing restrictions such as "cannot be viewed" may be presented in the item column of the medical examination information, or You may leave it blank without presenting any information.

As described above, according to the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment, the electronic medical record information for animal patients is disclosed in response to a request from a veterinarian using the veterinary hospital terminal 300. Furthermore, since electronic medical record information for animal patients is selectively disclosed according to the attributes of the user who uses the animal hospital terminal 300, requests from hospitals that are not the same hospital but belong to the same group as in this scenario, for example, are requested. In some cases, it is possible to share only the information that can be provided to other animal hospitals in the same group among the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the target animal patient.

Veterinarians at other veterinary hospitals who have received the information can refer to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient to see the history of medical examinations and treatments that have been performed on the patient's animal at the original veterinary hospital. After understanding, you can perform appropriate medical examinations, tests, and treatments. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent waste such as re-doing the test already performed in the original veterinary hospital.

In addition, if there is a veterinary hospital specializing in testing within the veterinary hospital group, the veterinary hospitals that specialize in testing should centrally carry out tests for patients who come to see the veterinary hospitals in the group. Can be done. In this case, according to the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment, the animal hospital where the patient animal came to receive the electronic medical record information for the animal patient generated by performing the examination at the animal hospital specializing in the examination. It will be possible to view and edit from other animal hospitals in the group.

In the above, when a veterinarian requests access to electronic chart information for veterinarians, an example of sharing information in accordance with the viewing restrictions and editing restrictions stipulated in the "group veterinary hospitals" in Table 1 has been described. For "group veterinary hospitals", if the attributes of veterinarians, that is, viewing restrictions and editing restrictions are set individually according to the veterinarians, nurses, and clerks, the animals logged in by the veterinarians, etc. The information to be shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 may be specified according to the user attribute information transmitted from the hospital terminal 300 (ID_B001) to the server terminal 100.

(Second scenario)
Regarding the flow of sharing electronic medical record information for animal patients by the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment, next, a veterinarian of veterinary hospital X outside the group, who does not belong to the same group as veterinary hospital A, visits veterinary hospital X. This will be described using a scenario in which the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital A is used to request access to the electronic medical record information for the veterinary patient A of the veterinary patient A of the owner A of the veterinary hospital A.

In such a case, if Animal Patient A suddenly becomes ill at night or at a place away from his / her place of residence, he / she should be examined at a veterinary hospital where he / she is always examined or at a veterinary hospital of the same group. It is conceivable that the patient will be examined at a veterinary hospital X outside the group that does not belong to the same group as the veterinary hospital A due to an urgent reason such as being unable to do so.

Step S101
First, in step S101, the veterinarian of the veterinary hospital B accesses the server terminal 100 with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital X, and accesses the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A of the owner A of the veterinary hospital A. The request is made, and the reception unit 132 of the server terminal 100 receives the access request.

Since the veterinary hospital X does not belong to the same group as the veterinary hospital A, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 receives an access request from a veterinary hospital outside the group based on the group information stored in the veterinary patient database 122. Recognize that there is. In this case, in the server terminal 100, the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital X is not authorized to access the animal patient database 122 of the server terminal 100. In the electronic medical record system 1 in this example, for example, the owner A obtains the URL for accessing the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A of the animal hospital A from the server terminal 100 in advance, and the animal of the animal hospital X. By inputting the URL on the hospital terminal 300, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 permits the animal hospital terminal 300 of the animal hospital X to access the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A of the animal hospital A. It is configured to be. Therefore, the owner A presents the URL for accessing the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the animal patient A acquired in advance from the server terminal 100 via the animal hospital A at the animal hospital X, and the animal of the animal hospital X. By inputting the URL into the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital X, the doctor can access the electronic medical record information for the veterinary patient of the veterinary patient A from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital X.

In the above, an example of accessing the electronic medical record information for an animal patient using a URL is shown, but instead of this, the server terminal 100 is configured to be able to output a two-dimensional bar code such as a QR code indicating the URL. In that case, the owner obtains the two-dimensional bar code in advance and saves it in his / her own mobile terminal, and causes the animal hospital terminal 300 of the animal hospital X to read the two-dimensional bar code so that the animal hospital terminal 300 can read the two-dimensional bar code. The URL information may be input to, and the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the animal patient A may be accessed from the animal hospital terminal 300 of the animal hospital X.

Step S102
Next, in step S102, the data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 that has received the access request identifies the electronic medical record information for the animal patient to be shared with the animal hospital terminal 300. In this scenario, veterinary clinic X does not belong to the same group as veterinary clinic A. The data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 identifies that the veterinary hospital X does not belong to the same group as the veterinary hospital A based on the group information stored in the veterinary patient database 122, and then Table 1. The information to be shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the access request source is specified according to the viewing restriction and the editing restriction specified in the veterinary hospital "outside the group".

Step S103
Then, in step S103, the data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 transmits and shares the specified shared information to the veterinary hospital terminal 300 that is the access request source. The shared information is displayed on the screen of the electronic medical record for animal patients displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300.

As shown in Table 1, the number of information items shared with veterinary hospitals outside the group is smaller than the information items shared with veterinary hospitals within the same animal hospital or in the same group. This is because, as a general rule, veterinary patients can only see a veterinary clinic outside the group in an emergency. This is to prevent inadvertent provision to veterinary clinics outside the group.

(Third scenario)
Regarding the flow of sharing animal patient information by the electronic medical record system 1 according to the present embodiment, information viewing is restricted according to the attributes of veterinarians and the like operating the veterinary hospital terminal 300, that is, veterinarians, nurses, clerks, and the like. And the scenario when the conditions of editing restriction are different will be explained. Here, a scenario is used in which a veterinarian of the veterinary hospital A requests access to the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the owner A of the veterinary hospital A using the veterinary hospital terminal 300 (ID_A001) of the veterinary hospital A. I will explain.

Step S101
First, in step S101, the veterinarian of the veterinary hospital A accesses the server terminal 100 with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 (ID_A001) of the veterinary hospital A, and the electronic medical record information for the animal patient A of the animal patient A of the owner A of the veterinary hospital A. The reception unit 132 of the server terminal 100 receives the access request.

In this scenario, in the server terminal 100, the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital A is authorized to access all the electronic medical record information for veterinary patients of the veterinary hospital A. Therefore, the veterinarian or the like searches the folder of the animal hospital A in the animal patient database 122, identifies the animal patient A of the owner A, and performs an operation of requesting access to the animal patient information. This access request can be made, for example, by selecting an icon indicating the folder of the animal patient A displayed on the screen of the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300.

Step S102
Next, in step S102, the data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 that received the access request logs in to the ID of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 that is the access request source and the veterinary hospital terminal 300, and is used by the veterinarian. Based on the attribute information such as, the electronic chart information for veterinary patients to be shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 is specified. The data processing unit 134 of the server terminal 100 refers to the veterinary hospital terminal 300, identifies that the access request is from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the same veterinary hospital A, and then is sent from the veterinary hospital terminal 300. Refer to the attribute information of the veterinarian, etc., and specify the information to be shared with the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the access request source in accordance with the viewing restrictions and editing restrictions that match the attributes specified in "Same animal hospital" in Table 1. .. As stipulated in "Same Animal Hospital" in Table 1, the conditions for information viewing restrictions and editing restrictions differ depending on the attributes of veterinarians, that is, veterinarians, nurses, clerks, etc. Will be done. As a result, it is possible to limit the information that can be viewed and edited according to the type of job in the veterinary hospital, so that information management regarding the owner and the patient animal can be performed more appropriately.

As described above, when the association of the viewing restriction and the editing restriction is set according to the specialty of the veterinarian, that is, the animal species or the group of the animal species and stored in the database 122, the server terminal 100 may be used. The data processing unit 134 is sub-information included in the attribute information of the veterinarian sent from the veterinarian terminal 300, that is, information indicating individual animal species that can be examined and treated by the veterinarian, and information on those animal species. Information to be shared with the veterinarian may be specified by referring to information indicating a group of animal species, which is a higher-level concept. Thereby, for example, when the animal patient A is an animal species not specialized by the veterinarian, the authority to view or edit the predetermined information item is restricted, so that the animal patient of the animal species not specialized by the veterinarian can be treated. It is possible to suppress medical examinations and prevent the editing of electronic medical record information for animal patients based on the findings of non-specialized veterinarians.

In the above-described embodiment, the sharing condition is that the request for sharing (viewing or editing) the electronic medical record information for the animal patient of the animal patient database 122 from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 is accepted, but one of the animals. Sharing (viewing and editing) electronic medical record information for animal patients from one hospital to the other veterinary hospital (whether or not it belongs to a group management) may be performed even when there is no request. That is, by setting the sharing conditions in advance, all or part of the electronic medical record information for animal patients will be shared regardless of whether there is a request for the veterinary hospital that is judged to meet the conditions. May be good.

By providing the above electronic medical record system, it is possible to centrally manage the electronic medical record information for animal patients of each animal patient in multiple veterinary hospitals and share it with veterinarians in multiple veterinary hospitals. It will be possible. In this way, it is possible to provide an electronic medical record system for animal patients that can share medical record information in a veterinary hospital managed by a group.

Furthermore, by making it possible to set viewing authority and editing authority for each information item of electronic chart information for animal patients according to the attributes of veterinarians, that is, veterinarians and their specialties, nurses, clerks, etc. It is possible to disclose information within the necessary and sufficient range according to the attributes of doctors and the like.

As a result, it is possible to properly manage the information of the owner and the animal patient, and prevent the situation where the content of the electronic medical record information for the animal patient is inadvertently changed by the user who should not access it. become.

Although the embodiments related to the disclosure have been described above, these can be implemented in various other embodiments, and can be implemented by making various omissions, substitutions, and changes. These embodiments and variations as well as those with omissions, substitutions and modifications are included in the technical scope of the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.
