Description

The present invention relates to a medical information sharing system for sharing patient medical information in medical institutions.

In order to provide appropriate medical care and nursing care to patients, it is extremely important to properly understand the patient's condition, and medical institutions are making various attempts to share patient medical information more efficiently. being done.

For example, in recent years, medical institutions have begun to propose and install bedside terminals that allow hospitalized patients to watch TV, movies, and browse the Internet at their bedside. Various configurations have been proposed that display the status, treatment, examination, rehabilitation or surgery schedule, etc., and allow the patient or the nurse or doctor in charge of the patient's medical treatment to check necessary medical information at the bedside. (Patent Documents 1 to 5).

Furthermore, even in medical institutions where bedside terminals are not installed, efforts are being made to display medical information that should be particularly understood among patients' medical information at the patient's bedside. For example, an approach is known in which medical information regarding conditions or restrictions regarding a patient's movement, posture, excretion, diet, etc. is pasted as a pictogram on a patient's bedside.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-275607 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2012-118782 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-97116 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-18461 JP2017-091356A

According to the above-mentioned conventional technology, it is easy to check a patient's medical information at the patient's bedside, but it is not easy to check the patient's medical information at a location away from the bedside. do not have. In order to check a patient's medical information away from the bedside, one must either return to the patient's bedside and check the patient's bedside terminal, or go to the nurse's station and check the information. However, it has been difficult to quickly check a patient's medical information when necessary.

On the other hand, patients admitted to medical institutions lead a variety of activities within the hospital, including examinations, tests, treatments, rehabilitation, visits, walks, and shopping, and are not necessarily at their own bedside. You want to check the patient's medical information even when the patient is away from the bedside, for example, if the patient has a seizure, falls, or forgets the next medical appointment. Such a situation exists. With the conventional techniques as described above, it has not been possible to confirm the patient's medical information in a timely manner in such cases.

In addition, when a patient requires assistance at a location far from the bedside, the staff member at the medical institution closest to the patient may be a non-medical staff member such as a doctor or nurse, such as a medical office staff member. It is naturally assumed that there is. However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, medical staff such as doctors and nurses are naturally assumed to be the staff who grasp the medical information of patients, and staff other than these medical staff, such as medical administrative staff, Even if the staff members are from the same medical institution, it is difficult for the staff to grasp the medical information of the patient, and it is not easy for the staff to properly assist the patient in front of them.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and allows staff at medical institutions to efficiently check patient medical information even at locations other than the patient's bedside. One of our challenges is to provide a medical information sharing system that can

The present inventors found that in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the place where patient medical information is provided is mainly limited to the vicinity of the patient's bedside, and that the staff who grasps the patient's medical information is a doctor or other person. Focusing on the fact that staff in specific occupations such as nurses are concentrated in If medical information can be accessed when and where it is needed, the entire staff of a medical institution will be able to support the patient and provide more detailed medical and nursing services that are more closely aligned with the patient. After thinking about it, I completed this invention.

That is, in one aspect of the present invention,
A medical information sharing system for sharing patient medical information in medical institutions,
a terminal device used by the staff of the medical institution;
a server device that associates and stores patient identification information and shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information that should be shared among the staff of the medical institution;
Equipped with
The terminal device is
a second acquisition unit that acquires patient identification information for identifying a patient;
a second transmitting unit that transmits the patient identification information acquired by the second acquiring unit to the server device;
a third acquisition unit that acquires the shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information from the server device; and
a display unit that displays a display screen including the shared medical information acquired by the third acquisition unit;
The above problem is solved by providing a medical information sharing system characterized by comprising:

The shared medical information that should be shared among the staff of a medical institution means medical information that is desirable to be shared among the staff of a medical institution. It is desirable that the information be shared among the staff of the medical institution, and it is not limited to specific medical staff such as doctors and nurses, but it is desirable that it be shared among the staff of the medical institution, preferably all staff. means.

When we refer to the staff of a medical institution here, we mean the staff or employees of the medical institution, more specifically, the staff or employees who work or are registered at the medical institution, and do not necessarily include medical staff such as doctors or nurses. In other words, this does not mean that they are staff members who perform medical or nursing care for patients. In other words, the staff of a medical institution includes, of course, doctors and nurses, but insofar as they are the staff of a medical institution, it includes not only doctors and nurses but also staff of any profession other than doctors and nurses. may also be included. Medical institution staff in occupations other than doctors and nurses include, for example, medical administrative staff, nursing care administrative staff, dispensing pharmacy administrative staff, nursing assistants (nursing assistants), facility caregivers, pharmacists, midwives, and clinical psychologists. , physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, orthoptist, registered dietitian, nutritionist, dental hygienist, dental technician, cytotechnologist, prosthetist, cook, medical radiology technician, clinical laboratory technician, Hygiene laboratory technicians, clinical engineers, medical information managers, social workers, mental health workers, nursing care support specialists, certified medical social workers, facility managers, security staff, cleaning staff, linen management staff, shop staff, etc. This may include, but is not limited to, staff in these occupations/or disaster relief medical staff. If necessary medical information can be shared not only with patients, doctors, and nurses, but also with more staff members, preferably all staff members, who may come into contact with patients at medical institutions, the staff of medical institutions will Everyone can pay attention to each patient, and more detailed medical and nursing services can be provided. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the medical information sharing system according to the present invention, the staff of the medical institution who are the users of the terminal device are staff members of at least two or more professions, preferably three or more of the above-mentioned professions. Preferably, it includes staff of four or more professions, even more preferably five or more, and even more preferably more than that.

In this specification, the term "medical institution" includes not only hospitals, but also clinics, clinics, clinics, rehabilitation facilities, nursing care facilities, and the like. The medical information sharing system according to the present invention is for sharing necessary medical information among the staff of such medical institutions.

Shared medical information that should be shared among the staff of a medical institution is basically shared as long as it is shared among the staff of the medical institution and the consent of the patient and/or their related parties is obtained. Although it can be selected as appropriate depending on the need, in one preferred embodiment, it is all or a part of the electronic medical record or nursing record, and more preferably, it is the patient's movement, It may include any of the following: medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on posture, toileting, eating or drinking; medical information regarding the patient's fall risk; and medical information regarding the patient's medical schedule.

Medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on a patient's movement, posture, excretion, eating or drinking may include, for example, prohibitions, precautions, necessity of assistive devices regarding patient's movement, posture, excretion, eating or drinking; It may be the necessity of assistance and its level. Such medical information regarding conditions or restrictions placed on a patient's movement, posture, toileting, eating or drinking is important medical information that, if not complied with, may have a serious impact on the patient. be. On the other hand, since it is medical information with relatively low privacy, it can be said that it is medical information that should be actively shared not only with doctors and nurses but also with the staff of medical institutions. According to the medical information sharing system according to one aspect of the present invention, the staff of a medical institution does not need to be a staff member of a specific profession such as a doctor or nurse, or even if the staff is in a location other than the bedside. Since this medical information can be viewed at any time using the terminal device that the patient is using, there is an advantage that appropriate treatment can be provided to individual patients as needed.

In one preferred embodiment, the medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on patient movement, posture, excretion, eating or drinking may be pictogrammed medical information. By using pictograms, it is possible to efficiently communicate patient medical information in a limited space. Note that in this specification, the term "pictogram" may include not only figures or symbols but also character strings to the extent necessary. The number of characters constituting a character string that can be included in a pictogram is typically 20 or less, preferably 15 or less. Since the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention is mainly a terminal device carried by the staff of a medical institution, that is, a mobile terminal, the display size thereof is often small, typically 8.0 Less than an inch, often less than 7.0 inches. By displaying patient medical information in the form of pictograms, medical information can be efficiently conveyed in a limited space even when using a terminal device with a small display size. It goes without saying that medical information other than the above-mentioned medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on a patient's movement, posture, excretion, meals or drinks may be displayed as medical information in the form of pictograms.

On the other hand, medical information regarding the risk of falls is medical information that can be obtained by conducting a survey called a fall assessment for each patient, which examines the patient's limb freedom and ability. The degree of risk of falling is classified and represented by symbols, for example, ``A'' means ``low risk,'' ``B'' means ``medium risk,'' and ``C'' means ``high risk.'' It is information. By adding numbers to each symbol A, B, and C, it is possible to further subdivide and represent the degree of risk of each rank. By knowing the degree of risk of falling or falling, it is possible to know the degree of risk of falling or falling of the patient, so that appropriate assistance or measures can be taken.

Medical information related to medical schedules refers to the schedule for one or more medical activities to be performed on a patient, specifically, the schedule for medical activities such as interviews, examinations, treatments, treatments, medications, surgeries, rehabilitation, and their preparations. It is information. When medical information related to a medical treatment schedule is displayed on a terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention, for example, a patient who is in front of the staff of a medical institution forgets about the scheduled medical treatment that is to be performed. When a patient's medical treatment schedule is affected, the staff of the medical institution can provide appropriate guidance to the patient by referring to the medical information regarding the patient's medical treatment schedule included on the display screen of the terminal device used by the staff. Note that from the viewpoint of increasing privacy, the medical information related to the medical treatment schedule that may be included in the display screen of the terminal device may be medical information related to the medical treatment schedule within a predetermined period. The predetermined period is, for example, within one month, 14 days, 7 days, 6 days, 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, or , may only be on the day the medical information is displayed.

When the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention acquires patient identification information for identifying a patient, it transmits the acquired patient identification information to the server device. The server device stores patient identification information in association with shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information and that should be shared among staff of the medical institution, When patient identification information is received from the terminal device, shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the received patient identification information is transmitted to the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can obtain shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the obtained patient identification information. A display screen including the acquired shared medical information is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device that has acquired the shared medical information. The staff of the medical institution can grasp the shared medical information by checking the display screen.

The patient identification information for identifying a patient may be any information as long as it can identify an individual patient. For example, patient ID, patient name, patient name and date of birth, individual It may be a transmitter ID assigned to the patient, biometric information, or a combination thereof. The biometric information may include, for example, biometric information obtained from a patient's fingerprint, iris, voice print, face, etc. There are no particular restrictions on the specific method of acquiring patient identification information; for example, it may be input directly from a display screen displayed on a terminal device, manually or by voice, or information that the patient has Although it may be acquired from an information medium, it is preferable to acquire it from an information medium owned by the patient. By acquiring patient identification information from an information medium owned by the patient, the risk of using incorrect patient identification information and confusing patients is reduced. Incidentally, the information medium possessed by the patient may be, for example, an IC card, IC chip, barcode, two-dimensional barcode, beacon, etc., but in addition to these, it may also include the patient's fingerprint, iris, voiceprint, face, etc. It can be done.

In one embodiment, the user of the terminal device may be authenticated as a legitimate user, that is, a staff member of a medical institution. That is, in one preferred aspect, the terminal device includes a first acquisition unit that acquires staff identification information that identifies a staff member of a medical institution; The second acquisition unit includes a first transmitting unit that transmits data to the server device, and the second acquiring unit transmits the data to the server when the staff identification information matches staff identification information that identifies staff of a medical institution stored in advance. The terminal device may be characterized in that, when the device makes a determination, it acquires patient identification information that identifies the patient. More specifically, for example, when the server device determines that the staff identification information acquired by the terminal device matches staff identification information that identifies staff of a medical institution stored in advance, the terminal device A patient identification information acquisition screen may be displayed on the display section of the patient identification information acquisition screen, and patient identification information for identifying the patient may be acquired through the patient identification information acquisition screen. Incidentally, in the above case, the server device includes a receiving section that receives the staff identification information from the first transmitting section, a staff identification information that is stored in advance to identify the staff of the medical institution, and the received staff identification information. This means that the device is equipped with a determination unit that determines whether or not the information matches. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the staff identification information received by the reception unit matches the staff identification information stored in advance that identifies the staff of the medical institution, the server device identifies the patient from the terminal device. Obtain patient identification information.

Staff identification information can basically be any information that can identify that the staff corresponding to the staff identification information is a staff member of the medical institution where the medical information sharing system according to the present invention is used. For example, the information may be a staff ID, a staff name, a staff name and date of birth, biometric information, or a combination thereof. The biometric information may include, for example, biometric information obtained from the staff's fingerprints, irises, voiceprints, faces, and the like. There are no particular restrictions on the specific method of acquiring this staff identification information; for example, it may be input directly manually or by voice from a display screen displayed on a terminal device, or it may be input directly by voice or manually from a display screen displayed on a terminal device. Although the information may be acquired from an information medium, it is preferable to acquire it from an information medium owned by the staff. By the way, the information medium held by the staff may be, for example, an IC card, an IC chip, a barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, etc., but in addition to these, it may also include the staff's fingerprints, iris, voiceprint, face, etc. .

"Identifying that the staff is a staff member of a medical institution" means identifying that the staff member corresponding to the staff identification information is a staff member or employee of a medical institution where the medical information sharing system according to the present invention can be used. This is a concept that is functionally different from identifying that the staff corresponding to the staff identification information is a staff member of a specific profession, for example, a medical staff member such as a doctor or a nurse. The present invention is primarily for sharing shared medical information widely with staff of medical institutions.

As described above, the staff identification information may be any information that can identify that the staff corresponding to the staff identification information is a staff member of the medical institution where the medical information sharing system according to the present invention is used; Although it is not necessary to be able to identify even the job type of the staff of the institution, in one embodiment, it may be identification information that can identify the staff of the medical institution including the job type. In this way, when using identification information that can identify the staff of a medical institution, including the job type, as staff identification information, the staff identification information is staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution stored in advance. Of course, it may be determined that the staff corresponding to the staff identification information is a staff member of a medical institution by determining whether or not the staff identification information matches. It may be determined whether the identification information matches staff identification information that identifies a staff member of a specific job type stored in advance. That is, the second acquisition unit included in the terminal device of the medical information sharing system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects the staff identification information and pre-stored doctors, nurses, medical office staff, and nursing care staff. , dispensing pharmacy administrative staff, nursing assistants (nursing assistants), facility care workers, pharmacists, midwives, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, orthoptists, registered dietitians, nutritionists, dentists Hygienist, dental technician, cytotechnologist, prosthetist, cook, radiology technician, clinical laboratory technician, sanitary laboratory technician, clinical engineer, medical information manager, social worker, mental health worker, nursing care support If the server device determines that the staff identification information that identifies a specialist, certified medical social worker, facility manager, security staff, cleaning staff, linen management staff, shop staff, and/or disaster dispatch medical staff matches; It may also be something that acquires patient identification information that identifies a patient. Note that the occupations of the staff at the medical institution are not limited to those listed above, and it goes without saying that the staff at the medical institution may be of any occupation.

On the other hand, in one embodiment, the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention hides the display screen displayed by the display unit after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, and/or The medical device may include a control unit that deletes the shared medical information acquired by the third acquisition unit from the terminal device after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. When the terminal device includes the control unit, the display screen containing the patient's medical information is automatically hidden after a predetermined time has elapsed, and/or the display screen containing the patient's medical information is automatically hidden after a predetermined time has elapsed. Since the patient's medical information is erased from the terminal device, even if the terminal device is stolen or lost, the risk of the patient's medical information leaking through the terminal device can be reduced. There is no particular limit to the predetermined time, but from the perspective of reducing the risk of leaking patient medical information, for example, the predetermined time may be 60 minutes, 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, or 10 minutes after the display screen is displayed. It can be 5 minutes or even 5 minutes.

Furthermore, in one embodiment, it may be possible to authenticate that the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention is a legitimate terminal device. That is, in a preferred aspect, a terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention includes a third transmitting unit that transmits terminal identification information for identifying the terminal device to the server device, and the terminal device includes a third transmitting unit that transmits terminal identification information for identifying the terminal device, When the server device determines that the terminal identification information transmitted by the third transmitting unit matches the terminal identification information stored in advance, the third acquiring unit acquires the terminal identification information. The terminal device may be characterized in that the shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information obtained by the user is acquired from the server device. In this case, for example, the server device stores in a storage unit a list of terminal identification information that identifies terminal devices that are permitted to access the patient's shared medical information, and the third transmitting unit This means that the device includes a determination unit that determines whether the terminal identification information received from the terminal matches the terminal identification information stored in the storage unit. Note that the terminal identification information for identifying a terminal device may be any information as long as the terminal device can be identified; for example, an individual identification number assigned to each terminal, a terminal ID, It may be a MAC address (Media Access Control Address) or the like. When the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention has the above configuration, the terminal device on which the patient's medical information is displayed is limited to a predetermined terminal device registered in advance. The risk of medical information being leaked to a third party can be reduced.

As explained above, the medical information sharing system according to the present invention mainly displays a display screen that includes shared medical information that should be shared among the staff of a medical institution. This is for sharing shared medical information that should be shared widely among the staff of medical institutions, regardless of their job type, but if the user of the terminal device is a medical staff. If necessary, in addition to the shared medical information, a configuration may be adopted in which medical information needed by medical staff at a medical institution can be confirmed. Medical staff here refers to staff at a medical institution who perform medical and nursing care for patients, such as doctors, nurses, nursing assistants (nursing assistants), pharmacists, health care workers, etc. teacher, midwife, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, orthoptist, registered dietitian, nutritionist, dental hygienist, dental technician, prosthetist, radiology technician, clinical laboratory technician, sanitary laboratory technician , clinical engineers, and/or disaster relief medical staff, but are not limited to these occupations.

That is, in a preferred aspect of the medical information sharing system according to the present invention, the terminal device includes a fourth acquisition unit that acquires medical staff identification information for identifying medical staff, and a medical information acquired by the fourth acquisition unit. a fourth transmitting unit that transmits staff identification information to the server device; when the medical staff identifying information transmitted by the fourth transmitting unit matches pre-stored medical staff identifying information for identifying medical staff, the server If the device determines, the server device acquires medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information acquired by the second acquisition unit and required by the medical staff corresponding to the medical staff identification information. The terminal device may include a fifth acquisition unit that acquires medical information from the patient, and displays a display screen that includes the medical information acquired by the fifth acquisition unit.

In this case, for example, the server device stores medical staff identification information for identifying medical staff in a storage unit, so that the medical staff identification information received from the fourth transmitter is stored in advance. It can be determined whether the information matches the medical staff identification information identifying the medical staff identified. Furthermore, in this case, the server device associates patient identification information with medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information, as well as medical staff identification information that identifies the medical staff who needs the medical information. Based on the medical staff identification information received from the fourth transmitting unit and the patient identification information received from the second transmitting unit, the medical staff who is the user of the terminal device can receive medical care required by the medical staff. Information may be identified and a display screen containing the medical information may be generated.

The acquisition of the medical staff identification information by the fourth acquisition unit includes, for example, a configuration in which medical staff identification information is further acquired from a state where the display screen including the shared medical information displayed on the display unit of the terminal device is displayed. Alternatively, medical staff identification information may be obtained independently of the acquisition of staff identification information by the first acquisition unit, the acquisition of patient identification information by the second acquisition unit, and the display of the display screen on the display unit. It can also be used as a configuration.

Note that the medical staff identification information may be the same as the staff identification information as long as the medical staff can be identified. When the staff identification information is also used as medical staff identification information, the display screen containing the shared medical information displayed on the display section of the terminal device further includes information about the medical staff corresponding to the medical staff identification information. It may also be configured to display medical information. In this case, the server device determines whether or not the staff identification information transmitted by the first transmission unit matches staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution stored in advance, and the first transmission. It may be determined first whether the staff identification information sent by the department matches the medical staff identification information that identifies the medical staff stored in advance, or if possible, it may be determined all at once. You can go. Moreover, when the said staff identification information is also used as medical staff identification information, the said 5th acquisition part and the said 3rd acquisition part may be the same thing. That is, the third acquisition unit collects shared medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information acquired by the second acquisition unit, and medical information about the patient, which corresponds to the medical staff identification information. The medical information required by the medical staff may be acquired from the server device.

There are no particular restrictions on the type of medical information required by medical staff, and it can be set as necessary, but if I were to give an example, for example, a part of an electronic medical record or a part of a nursing record. Yes, and more specifically, for example, if the medical staff is a doctor, nurse, or nursing assistant, the patient's body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, breathing, urine output, nursing records, medical treatment, etc. It can be medical information about schedules, test results, clinical paths, etc. If the medical staff is a medical radiology technician, it can be medical information about X-ray images, CT images, or MRI images, etc. If the medical staff is a physical therapist, it may be medical information related to physical therapy medical records, occupational therapy medical records, rehabilitation medical records, etc., and if the medical staff is a pharmacist, it may be prescription history. In addition, if it is not desirable for security to store this medical information in the server device, instead of storing the medical information in the server device, it can be stored from another server device or storage device included in the hospital network such as an electronic medical record system. You may also try to obtain it.

In addition, if the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention includes means for displaying the above-mentioned display screen that includes medical information other than the shared medical information, the above-mentioned display screen may be displayed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. It is further preferable that the medical information device further includes a control unit that later hides the medical information and/or deletes the medical information other than the acquired shared medical information from the terminal device after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. The predetermined time is not particularly limited, but may be set to, for example, 60 minutes, more preferably 40 minutes, still more preferably 30 minutes, and even more preferably 15 minutes after the display screen is displayed.

When the terminal device included in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention has the above configuration, the medical staff who is the user of the terminal device can check the minimum necessary medical information about the patient from the terminal device. It is very convenient because you can check not only the patient's medical information but also detailed medical information about the patient.

Further, as shown in the examples described later, among medical information about patients, there is medical information that has a higher priority to be shared at a specific location within a medical institution. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, an area within a medical institution where the shared medical information should be shared may be set for each piece of shared medical information. That is, in a preferred aspect, in the medical information sharing system according to the present invention, the server device further includes:
It stores shared medical information in association with the area within the medical institution where the shared medical information should be shared.
In the terminal device,

The third acquisition unit is configured to acquire the shared medical information regarding the patient corresponding to the patient identification information transmitted by the second transmission unit, and to identify an area within the medical institution where the shared medical information is to be shared. , acquiring shared medical information that the server device has determined should be shared with the staff of the medical institution from the server device by comparing the location specified by the location specifying information;
It may be characterized by When the medical information sharing system according to the present invention has the above configuration, there is an advantage that the staff of the medical institution can immediately grasp the medical information that should be grasped at that location. Furthermore, since specific medical information among patients' medical information can be shared only at specific locations, it is possible to share information with greater consideration to patient privacy.

The location identification information that can identify the location of the terminal device can basically be any type of information as long as it can directly or indirectly identify the location of the terminal device. The information may include beacon identification information for identifying one or more beacons installed in advance at a predetermined location, the strength of radio waves received from these beacons, frequencies, and the like. The beacon may be, for example, a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacon.

In addition, if there is medical information about a patient that should be shared with particular priority in a specific location within a medical institution, such medical information may be displayed in priority over other medical information. Alternatively, the presence of such medical information may be notified to the staff of the medical institution who are the users of the terminal device. That is, in a preferred embodiment of the medical information sharing system according to the present invention,
The server device further includes:
The shared medical information and the area within the medical institution to which the shared medical information should be reported are associated and stored.
In the terminal device,
The second transmitting unit transmits position specifying information that can specify the position of the terminal device to the server device together with the patient identification information acquired by the second acquiring unit,
The third acquisition unit is configured to acquire the shared medical information regarding the patient corresponding to the patient identification information transmitted by the second transmission unit, and to identify an area within the medical institution where the shared medical information is to be shared. , obtaining from the server device shared medical information that the server device has determined should be shared with the staff of the medical institution by comparing the location with the location specified by the location specifying information;
The terminal device is
when the third acquisition unit acquires the shared medical information, notifying the acquisition of the shared medical information;
It may be characterized by When the medical information sharing system according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, the staff of the medical institution can understand that there is important medical information that should be grasped at that location regarding the patient currently in front of them. This has the advantage of being able to immediately take appropriate action.

There is no particular restriction on the specific method of notifying the acquisition of shared medical information, but for example, it may be possible to emit an audio signal or an optical signal, or the terminal device may be made to vibrate. It may be a combination of. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the acquisition of the shared medical information may be notified and a display screen containing the acquired shared medical information may be displayed.

In another aspect, the present invention solves the above problem by providing a terminal device or a server device included in any of the above medical information sharing systems. The means and operations provided by the terminal device or the server device have already been explained in the explanation of the medical information sharing system, so their explanation will be omitted for the sake of brevity.

<Basic operation>
The basic operation of the medical information sharing system 100 according to the first embodiment will be explained below. In FIG. 1, P1 is a patient identified by patient number "0001" and has an IC card. The IC card stores the patient ID "0001" of the patient P1 as patient identification information for identifying the patient P1. MS1 is an occupational therapist (staff member of a medical institution) and carries a terminal device T1. On the other hand, MS2 is a medical office staff (staff at a medical institution) and carries a terminal device T2.

In this example, the storage unit S11 of the server device S1 contains a patient ID as patient identification information, and medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient identification information, which should be shared among the staff of the medical institution. As shared medical information, medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on patient movement, posture, excretion, food, or drink is stored in association. FIG. 2 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit S11 of the server device S1. As shown in Figure 2, for example, the patient identified by the patient ID "PT0001" is "Patient Ichiro," and the shared medical information for the patient includes "Movement restrictions (cane),""Posture restrictions (Bed-up ``Limit 60 <sup>о</sup> )'' and ``Alcohol prohibited.''

In this example, patient P1 leaves his hospital bed and comes to the rehabilitation ward for rehabilitation with occupational therapist MS1. First, the basic operation will be explained using an example in which the occupational therapist MS1 confirms the medical information of the patient P1.

First, the occupational therapist MS1 scans his own IC card using the terminal device T1. Thereby, the terminal device T1 acquires the staff ID "MS0001" from the IC card of MS1 as staff identification information that identifies that MS1 is a staff member of the medical institution. That is, in this example, the terminal device T1 is equipped with an IC card reader, and acquires the staff ID "MS0001" of MS1 from the IC card possessed by occupational therapist MS1, who is a staff member of the medical institution. Note that there is no particular restriction on the specific means by which the terminal device T1 acquires the staff identification information, but it may be, for example, a non-contact communication method. The contactless communication method may include, for example, a communication method based on NFC (Near Field Communication).

When the terminal device T1 acquires the staff ID "MS0001" as the staff identification information, the acquired staff identification information is transmitted to the server device S1. On the other hand, the server device S1 receives staff identification information from the terminal device T1. In this example, the server device S1 stores in advance a list of staff IDs assigned to the staff of the medical institution in the storage unit S11, and upon receiving the staff identification information from the terminal device T1, the server device S1 stores the staff ID information assigned to the staff IDs of the medical institution in advance. By determining whether the received staff identification information matches any of the pre-stored staff IDs, the received staff identification information matches any of the pre-stored staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution. Determine whether or not.

As a result of the above determination, if the staff identification information received by the server device S1 from the terminal device T1 matches any of the staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution stored in advance in the storage unit S11 of the server device S1. If determined, the server device S1 outputs a patient identification information input screen and transmits it to the terminal device T1. In this way, in the terminal device T1, the server device determines that the staff identification information transmitted to the server device S1 matches the staff identification information stored in advance that identifies the staff of the medical institution. If so, patient identification information identifying the patient may be obtained.

Subsequently, the occupational therapist MS1 uses the terminal device T1 carried by the occupational therapist MS1 to obtain patient identification information for identifying the patient P1, in this example, patient ID "PT0001" from the IC card possessed by the patient P1. When the terminal device T1 acquires the patient ID "PT0001" as patient identification information for identifying the patient P1, the acquired patient identification information is transmitted to the server device S1.

On the other hand, the server device S1 receives patient identification information for identifying the patient P1 from the terminal device T1. When the server device S1 receives the patient identification information from the terminal device T1, the server device S1 transfers the shared medical information to be shared among the staff of the medical institution from among the medical information about the patient corresponding to the received patient identification information to the terminal device T1. Send to. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, the shared medical information for patient P1 corresponding to patient ID "PT0001" includes "movement restriction (cane)", "posture restriction (bed up restriction 60 ^о )", and "Alcohol Prohibited" are transmitted to the terminal device T1. Note that other information may be transmitted to the terminal device T1 along with the shared medical information as necessary. In this example, patient information such as the patient name, ward, and attending physician of the patient P1 is transmitted to the terminal device T1. It is transmitted to the terminal device T1 together with the above-mentioned shared medical information.

Note that if the patient corresponding to the patient ID acquired from the terminal device T1 and the shared medical information about that patient are not stored in the storage unit S11, the shared medical information about the patient P1 is stored in the terminal device T1. An error message will be sent instead.

The terminal device T1 acquires the shared medical information transmitted from the server device S1, and when the shared medical information is acquired, the terminal device T1 displays the shared medical information as a display screen for the staff of the medical institution to confirm the acquired shared medical information. A display screen including shared medical information is displayed on the display unit. FIG. 3 shows an example of the display screen displayed in this manner and the information displayed thereon. As shown in FIG. 3, the display screen displayed on the terminal device T1 includes patient information such as the patient name, patient ID, room, and attending physician of the patient P1, as well as patient movement information as shared medical information about the patient P1. , medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on posture, toileting, eating or drinking, more specifically "movement restrictions (cane)", "posture restrictions (bed up restriction 60 ^о )", and "no alcohol". are displayed, and "movement restriction (cane)" and "posture restriction (bed up restriction 60 ^о )" are displayed as medical information in the form of pictograms. By checking the display screen shown in FIG. 3, the occupational therapist MS1 confirms the shared medical information about the patient P1, in this example, "movement restriction (cane)" and "posture restriction (bed up restriction 60 ^о )". ” and “No alcohol,” so you can pay attention to the above medical information and take appropriate action during rehabilitation.

Thereafter, the rehabilitation was completed, and the patient P1 returned to the hospital room. However, suppose that patient P1 falls down on the way. In such a case, the medical office staff MS2 who is passing near the patient P1 uses his own terminal device T2 to check the shared medical information about the patient P1 using the same procedure as described above. be able to. This allows the medical office staff MS2 to quickly understand that the patient P1 is a patient with restrictions or conditions such as "movement restriction (cane)" and "posture restriction (bed up restriction 60 ^о )". Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the condition of the patient P1 and provide appropriate assistance. In addition, since information such as the attending physician of the patient P1 and the hospital room is displayed on the terminal device T2, the medical office staff MS2 can quickly know to whom to request assistance for the patient P1, if necessary. .

As described above, according to the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment, medical information of the patient P1, in this example, medical information regarding conditions or restrictions imposed on patient P1's movement, posture, excretion, meals, or drinks can be shared. , it becomes possible to easily check when and where necessary without returning to the nurse's station or bedside, making it possible to provide more detailed medical and nursing services. Furthermore, the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and can serve as a communication tool between the staff of a medical institution and patients. For example, according to the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment, MS1 and MS2, who are staff members of a medical institution, can easily confirm patient P1's patient information, so they can immediately confirm that patient P1's condition is recovering. can be known. This makes it possible to actively talk to the patient P1, and such a call can motivate the patient P1 to work hard at rehabilitation. As described above, the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment not only increases the convenience of sharing medical information, but also provides an opportunity to activate communication between patients and staff of medical institutions.

Note that the display screen containing the shared medical information about the patient P1 displayed on the terminal devices T1 and T2 will be hidden after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the medical information about the patient P1 will be hidden after the predetermined time has elapsed. It is later deleted from the terminal devices T1 and T2. As a result, the shared medical information about the patient P1 cannot be viewed from the terminal devices T1 and T2 unless the patient identification information for identifying the patient P1 is acquired again from the IC card possessed by the patient P1. Unlike stationary terminals such as bedside terminals placed at the bedside, the terminal devices T1 and T2 are carried around and used, so there is a risk of them being lost or stolen by a third party. growing. On the other hand, according to the terminal devices T1 and T2 included in the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment, even if the terminal device T1 or T2 is lost, the medical information of the patient P1 can be transferred to a third party. The risk of leakage can be kept to a minimum.

<Second embodiment>
The second embodiment relates to an embodiment including an authentication step for confirming that the terminal device is a legitimate terminal device. The operation of the medical information sharing system 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the configuration of the medical information sharing system 200 according to the second embodiment is the same as the medical information sharing system 100 according to the first embodiment, so the description will be omitted for the sake of brevity. .

In this embodiment, the medical information sharing system 200, like the medical information sharing system 100, includes a server device S1 and a terminal device T1. In this example, as in the first embodiment, it is assumed that the patient P1 leaves his hospital bed and comes to the rehabilitation ward to undergo rehabilitation with the occupational therapist MS1, and the occupational therapist MS1 collects the medical information of the patient P1. The operation will be explained using confirmation as an example.

First, as in the first embodiment, the occupational therapist MS1 scans his own IC card using the terminal device T1. Thereby, the terminal device T1 acquires the staff ID "MS0001" from the IC card of MS1 as staff identification information that identifies that MS1 is a staff member of the medical institution.

On the other hand, in this example, when the terminal device T1 acquires the staff ID "MS0001" as the staff identification information, the acquired staff identification information is transmitted to the server device S1 together with the terminal identification information that identifies the terminal device T1. The server device S1 receives staff identification information and terminal identification information from the terminal device T1. Similarly to the first embodiment, in this example as well, the server device S1 stores in advance staff identification information for identifying the staff of the medical institution in the storage unit S11, and sends the staff identification information from the terminal device T1. Upon receiving the information, it is determined whether the received staff identification information matches any of the staff identification information stored in advance. On the other hand, in this example, the server device S1 previously stores terminal identification information of a terminal device managed by the medical institution. When receiving the terminal identification information for identifying the terminal device from the terminal device T1, the server device S1 determines whether the received terminal identification information matches any of the terminal identification information stored in advance.

As a result of the above determination, if the staff identification information received by the server device S1 from the terminal device T1 matches any of the staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution stored in advance in the storage unit S11 of the server device S1. If it is determined that the terminal identification information received from the terminal device T1 matches any of the terminal identification information stored in advance in the storage unit S11 of the server device S1, the server device S1 displays the patient identification information input screen. is output and transmitted to the terminal device T1. In this way, in the terminal device T1, the staff identification information and the terminal identification information transmitted to the server device S1 are combined with the staff identification information that identifies the staff of the medical institution stored in advance and the terminal device stored in advance. If the server device determines that the information matches the identification information, patient identification information for identifying the patient can be acquired. Note that the above two determinations may be performed at the same time, or one of them may be performed first. Further, the server device S1 stores a combination of staff identification information and terminal identification information in advance, and the combination of the staff identification information and terminal identification information acquired from the terminal device T1 is the same as the staff identification information stored in advance. It may be configured to determine whether or not the combination matches the terminal identification information. This makes it possible to further enhance the security of the medical information sharing system.

The subsequent steps are the same as those in the first embodiment, so their explanation will be omitted. Occupational therapist MS1 uses terminal device T1 that she carries to acquire patient identification information for identifying patient P1 from the IC card possessed by patient P1, and uses terminal device T1 to obtain shared medical information about patient P1. can be confirmed.

<Third embodiment>
Among the shared medical information, some shared medical information has a particularly high priority to be shared under specific location conditions. The third embodiment relates to an embodiment in which when such shared medical information is acquired for a certain patient, the staff of a medical institution is notified of this fact. The operation of the medical information sharing system 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the configuration of the medical information sharing system 300 according to the third embodiment is the same as the medical information sharing system 100 according to the first embodiment, so the description will be omitted for the sake of brevity. There are cases.

In this embodiment, the medical information sharing system 300 includes a server device S3 and a terminal device T3. MS3 is a medical office staff member and carries a terminal device T3. On the other hand, P2 is a patient identified by the patient ID "PT0002" and has a beacon. The beacon is a transmitter that stores beacon identification information for identifying the beacon and includes means for transmitting the beacon identification information.

The terminal device T3 includes means for acquiring beacon identification information from the beacon. That is, when the patient P2 exists nearby, the terminal device T3 can acquire beacon identification information for identifying the beacon from a beacon carried by the patient P2. In this example, it is assumed that the beacon identification information of the beacon owned by the patient P2 is beacon ID "B0002".

On the other hand, in the storage unit S31 of the server device S3, a patient ID for identifying a patient and a beacon ID for identifying a beacon carried by the patient are stored in association with each other. FIG. 4 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit S21 of the server device S2. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the beacon corresponding to the patient specified by the patient ID "PT0002" is the beacon specified by the beacon ID "B0002." As described above, since the patient ID and beacon ID are stored in association with each other in the storage unit S31 of the server device S31, the beacon ID, which is the beacon identification information that identifies the beacon, functions as patient identification information that identifies the patient. do.

As described in the description of the first embodiment, the storage unit S31 of the server device S3 stores patients and medical information about the patients, which should be shared among the staff of the medical institution. Medical information is associated and stored. An example of the information stored in the storage unit S31 of the server device S3 is as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the patient identified by the patient ID "PT0002" is "Patient Jiro," and the shared medical information about the patient is "Beware of loitering."

On the other hand, in this example, the storage unit S31 of the server device S3 further stores shared medical information and an area within the medical institution to which the shared medical information should be reported in association with each other. FIG. 5 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit S31 of the server device S3. In Figure 5, "〇" indicates that the shared medical information is shared medical information that should be notified in a specific area within the corresponding medical institution (hereinafter sometimes referred to as notified medical information). It shows. On the other hand, in FIG. 5, "x" indicates that the shared medical information does not correspond to shared medical information that should be broadcast in a specific area within the corresponding medical institution. In this example, as shown in Figure 5, "Beware of loitering" is the notified medical information that should be notified at the "entrance" of a medical institution (in Figure 5, "Beware of wandering" is the "Beware of wandering" at the "entrance" (“〇”). On the other hand, "Beware of wandering" is not medical information that should be notified in "stands" and "restrooms" (in Figure 5, "Beware of wandering" is "x" in "stands" and "restrooms"). ”).

To summarize the above, from Figures 2 and 5, the shared medical information of patient P2 identified by patient ID "PT0002" is "Beware of loitering", and this shared medical information should be announced at the "entrance". It can be seen that this is medical information that has been reported.

The operation of the medical information sharing system 300 according to this embodiment will be described below, taking as an example a case where a medical office staff member MS3 carrying a terminal device T3 sees a patient P2 walking out at the entrance of a medical institution.

The terminal device T3 carried by the medical office staff MS3 acquires beacon identification information for identifying the beacon from a beacon possessed by the patient P2 present in the vicinity of the terminal device T3. That is, the terminal device T3 is equipped with a means for acquiring beacon identification information from a beacon carried by the patient, and when the beacon identification information is acquired, the server transmits location specifying information that can specify the location of the terminal device T3 together with the acquired beacon identification information. Send to device S3. As explained in the first embodiment, before acquiring the beacon identification information, the staff identification information is acquired from the information medium held by the medical office staff MS3, and the staff of the medical institution in which the staff identification information is stored in advance It goes without saying that the configuration may be such that the beacon identification information is acquired when the server device S3 determines that the beacon identification information matches the staff identification information that identifies the beacon. Further, as described in the second embodiment, it is of course possible to adopt a configuration in which terminal identification information for identifying the terminal device T3 is transmitted to the server device S3 together with the beacon identification information.

The server device S3 receives, from the terminal device T3, beacon identification information for identifying the beacon owned by the patient P2 and position specifying information for specifying the location of the terminal device T3. The location identifying information that can identify the location of the terminal device T3 may basically be of any type as long as it can identify the location of the terminal device T3, but it may be any type of location information that can identify the location of the terminal device T3, but it may be any type of information that can identify the location of the terminal device T3. It may include beacon identification information that identifies one or more beacons and the strength of received radio waves from these beacons.

Upon receiving the beacon ID, the server device S3 refers to the storage unit S31 and acquires the patient ID "PT0002" corresponding to the beacon ID "B0002". This makes it possible to identify the patient associated with the received beacon ID.

Then, among the medical information about the patient corresponding to the patient ID "PT0002", that is, patient P2, the shared medical information is notified for each piece of shared medical information that should be shared among the staff of the medical institution. By comparing the area within the medical institution where the information should be shared with the location specified by the location identification information acquired from the terminal device T3, it is determined that each piece of shared medical information is the notified medical information that should be notified to the staff of the medical institution. Determine whether it exists or not.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, the area within the medical institution to which the shared medical information "Beware of loitering" for the patient corresponding to the patient ID "PT0002", that is, patient P2, should be reported is the medical institution. It is the "entrance" of On the other hand, the server device S3 determines that the terminal device T3 is present at the "entrance" based on the position specifying information acquired from the terminal device T3 owned by the medical office staff MS3 located at the entrance of the medical institution. Can be done. Therefore, the server device S3 determines that the shared medical information "Beware of wandering" regarding the patient P2 is the notified medical information that should be notified to the terminal device T3, and transmits the notified medical information to the terminal device T3. do. In this way, the terminal device T3 receives the shared medical information about the patient P2, which the server device S3 has determined should be notified to the terminal device T3. '' is obtained from the server device S3.

When the terminal device T3 acquires the notified medical information from the server device S3, the terminal device T3 notifies the acquisition of the notified medical information by emitting a ringtone and vibrating. Thereby, the medical office staff MS3 can know that the terminal device T3 has acquired the notified medical information for any nearby patient. In this example, the terminal device T3 carried by the medical office staff MS3 further notifies the acquisition of the notified medical information by displaying a notification screen that notifies the acquisition of the notified medical information. FIG. 6 shows an example of the notification screen displayed on the terminal device T3 and the information included therein. As shown in FIG. 6, from the notification screen displayed on the terminal device T3, the medical office staff MS3 can immediately know that there is a patient nearby who has been warned not to wander.

Therefore, by further pressing the "∨" button from the notification screen displayed in FIG. 6, the medical office staff MS3 can display a display screen for confirming the acquired notified medical information. FIG. 7 shows an example of the display screen displayed on the terminal device T3 and the information included therein. By checking the display screen shown in FIG. 7, the medical office staff MS3 understands that the patient P2 is the one for which the patient is "beware of wandering". It is preferable that the display screen for the medical institution staff to confirm the notified medical information includes patient identification information such as a patient name and a facial photograph for identifying the patient. That is, in one preferred aspect, the display screen for the staff of the medical institution to confirm the notified medical information includes patient identification information for identifying the patient together with the notified medical information. The patient identification information may include, for example, a patient name, a facial photograph, a portrait, and the like.

In this example, the medical office staff MS3 who discovered the patient P2 who is on the "beware of wandering" call out to the patient P2 and ask him to stay still if the patient P2 is about to go out from the entrance of the medical institution. Can be done. On the other hand, if the patient P2 is just walking around the medical institution, you may choose to watch over him quietly, or you may contact the nurse in charge. In any case, according to the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment, the medical office staff MS3 can immediately grasp the medical information that should be noted about the patient P2, and therefore can take appropriate measures.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the medical office staff MS3 carrying the terminal device T3 sees the patient P2 walking around the patient's room. In this case, the location specified based on the location identification information transmitted by the terminal device T3 is near the hospital room of the patient P2, and is the area within the medical institution where the shared medical information "Beware of loitering" should be reported. Not included in "Entrance". Therefore, the server device S3 determines that the shared medical information "Beware of wandering" is not the notified medical information that should be notified to the terminal device T3, and transmits the shared medical information (that is, "Beware of wandering") to the terminal device T3. Do not send to T3. Therefore, even if the medical office staff MS3 carrying the terminal device T3 sees the patient P2 walking around near the patient's room, the shared medical information about the patient P2 will not be displayed or reported on the terminal device T3. There isn't.

As described above, according to the medical information sharing system according to the present embodiment, the staff of a medical institution can immediately know only when there is a patient in the vicinity who should be careful.

According to the present invention, the staff of a medical institution can efficiently grasp the necessary medical information that should be grasped about each patient, so that patients admitted to the medical institution can be provided with even more detailed nursing services. Medical services can be provided. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for medical institutions to secure a sufficient number of doctors, nurses, etc., and the entire staff of medical institutions supports patients and provides high-quality medical care that is closer to the patient. - The medical information sharing system according to the present invention capable of providing nursing services has great industrial applicability.
