DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data input device in a medical computer, and more particularly to a method for handling medical treatment data of different prescriptions by one input.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in medical institutions such as hospitals,
2. Description of the Related Art A medical computer is used to register, at a counter, the contents of medical treatment performed on a patient, such as giving a treatment or administering a medicine. This medical computer receives a medical treatment data input screen as shown in FIG. 6 and inputs data on the medical treatment to the patient. The medical computer converts the input data into a medical treatment data for managing the medical treatment for each patient on a monthly basis. It is recorded in the medical practice file as action data, and is used as data for issuing a receipt. In the medical practice data input screen shown in FIG. 6, one or more codes corresponding to the medical practice and, if the code is related to a medicine, further the quantity are entered in accordance with the code from the input field provided in the lower part. I do. Then, the medical treatment data corresponding to the input code is retrieved from the medical treatment database described later, and is displayed together with the code. As described above, conventionally, by inputting a specific code on the screen, medical care action data such as a treatment name and a medicine name corresponding to the code can be displayed.

In the case of inputting medical practice data relating to a medicine, usually, a code corresponding to the medicine is used as a set and the quantity used is input once. However, in the case where a plurality of medicines are administered in one prescription, etc. In addition, data relating to a plurality of medicines can be collectively designated at a time. The initial consultation, treatment, medication, etc., are different prescriptions, and their score calculation methods are different, so that they cannot be mixed in one input in principle. One input means an input until an input key is pressed and confirmed in an input field on the screen.

When a plurality of codes are input by one input, each code is input by using a keyboard or a mouse, separated by a delimiter ("@" in the example shown in FIG. 5). The code can be input from the keyboard or by selecting from the candidates displayed on the input screen using the keyboard or mouse. In the case of keyboard input, after the input of the code and the input of the delimiter are repeated, the input is confirmed by pressing the input key. In the case of mouse input, a code can be input by selecting from the candidates displayed on the input screen. Especially when typing with the mouse,
When a code is selected, a separator is automatically inserted until the input key is finally pressed.

When a code is input, the validity of input data is checked as in a general computer system. In conventional medical computers, it is checked whether codes registered in the master file have been entered, and if multiple codes have been entered in a single entry, whether codes of different prescriptions have been mixed is checked. In this case, if an incorrect input is made, it is not determined as an input error.

[0006] By the way, medicine is almost always administered depending on the kind of disease, and in the case of outpatients, medicine is often given especially with medical treatment. In such a case, it is more convenient to be able to collectively input codes of different prescriptions. Conventionally, even in such a case, it is necessary to input the codes separately in principle. However, by adding a special symbol to the code and inputting the code, the code input of a different prescription is exceptionally permitted. The medical computer accepts an input error only when a special symbol is specified in the code without causing an input error, and displays various information in a predetermined display field.

[0007]

However, when different prescriptions are mixedly input, it has conventionally been necessary to designate a special symbol for each different prescription. In particular, in the case of mouse input, a delimiter is automatically inserted, so there is no need to perform extra input operations until the input key is pressed. Input operation has occurred, and simple input operation has been impaired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a data input device in a medical computer which facilitates mixed input of different prescriptions.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a data input device according to the present invention checks the validity of medical treatment data input from an input field and recognizes a recognized medical treatment. In a medical computer which performs input processing for accepting input of only a combination of data and medical care data, a data input means for inputting medical care data, a medical care database for registering the type of medical care data, The plurality of designated medical practice data are referred to the medical practice database.
Prescription groups according to each type by
Classified into, characterized Rukoto to have a display data forming means for forming display data for displaying a predetermined display field on the group unit of the formulation.

[0010] The present invention is characterized in that a combination of permitting and not permitting input of different prescriptions of medical treatment data specified in one input is switched.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a medical computer to which the data input method of the present embodiment is applied. The medical computer according to the present embodiment includes a keyboard 2 and a mouse 4 as data input means for inputting medical care data, a display 6 as data display means for displaying various screens such as a medical care data input screen, and the like. Magnetic disk 8 as external storage device
And a processing unit 10 that performs various processes according to input from an input unit or the like. The magnetic disk 8 stores various master files and data files such as a medical practice database in which information on medical practice data such as types of medical practice data is registered. The processing unit 10 creates various data files based on the input medical practice data and stores them on the magnetic disk 8. Further, although the validity check and details of the medical care data inputted with reference to various databases will be described later, the prescription type of each medical care data is determined based on a plurality of medical care data specified in one input. Regardless, as display data forming means for forming display data to be displayed in a predetermined display field, and data for classifying a plurality of medical care activity data designated by one input according to the registered type of each data It operates as a classifier.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a medical practice data setting screen used for registering each medical practice data. By specifying a predetermined section number in the section number field 12 of this screen, the type of each data can be changed. Identify. However, the category numbers and types are not in a one-to-one relationship, but are classified into several prescription types according to the designated category number. It should be noted that, from this setting screen, chemical name In addition to this, such as a disease name "medical care data", "kana" of the intervention data, representative of the intervention data "code", of chemicals in the case of chemicals, etc. Data of "units" such as g indicating quantities, tablets, etc., and "points / drug prices" used for calculating the amount charged to the patient and the insurance points are newly registered. Also, reference and deletion of registered data are performed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the medical practice database. In this example, medical practice data with a disease name of "gastritis" and medical practice data with a drug of "salicylic acid" are shown. In the case of a disease name, a code, reading and medical treatment data are stored, and in the case of a medicine, data of units, scores and drug prices are further stored. Then, a section number is added to each medical care action data. Also, an example of registration of medical care data corresponding to the contents of the display example of the medical care data input screen shown in FIG. 6 is shown.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment when a plurality of codes are input by one input will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When, for example, a plurality of codes as shown in FIG. 5 are input into the input field of the medical care data input screen, the processing unit 10 depresses an input key (step 101). The validity is checked (step 102). The validity check at this time is performed by comparing the input code with the code registered in the medical care activity database shown in FIG. If a code that is not registered in the medical practice database is input, the input is not accepted as an incorrect input. FIG.
"*" In the inside indicates that the quantity key was pressed.

When the processing unit 10 determines that the input is not an illegal input, the processing unit 10 refers to the medical care database based on the code specified in the input field, and stores the code and the medical care data corresponding to the code into the name of the disease, the medicine, and the like. The medical treatment data is displayed in a predetermined display field on the medical treatment data input screen, and the medical treatment data is displayed in a predetermined display field on the medical treatment data input screen. Do it. FIG. 6 shows an example displayed in response to the input of FIG.

First, the first input code "1234"
5 ", the medical practice data" re-examination "corresponding to this code and the prescription data" re-examination # 1 "corresponding to this code are displayed in a predetermined display field. The next specified code "A1234" is determined to be of a different type from the immediately preceding code "12345" by referring to the section number (step 107), and the prescription data "internal # 5 ", the code" A1234 "and the medical treatment data" A-san "corresponding to this code are displayed in the display field of a predetermined next line (step 108) .The next designated code" B1234 "is the immediately preceding code" B1234 ". "A1
234 "and the section number, it is determined that they are of the same type (step 105), and the code" B1234 "and the medical care data" B grain "corresponding to this code are displayed in the display field of a predetermined next line as the same prescription. This process is repeated, and the codes “C1234” and “D1234”
Is also the same formula, each code "C1234",
“D1234” and the medical care action data “C dragee” and “D tablet” corresponding to each code are displayed in the display field of a predetermined next line.

Next, the designated code "678" is referred to the code "D123" by referring to the section number.
It is determined that the type is different from 4 "(step 107),
As a different prescription, prescription data “prescription # 7”, code “6”
78 ”and the medical treatment data“ prescription fee ”corresponding to this code are displayed in a predetermined next display field (step 108).
3) The process for one input is completed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when codes of different prescriptions are mixedly input by one input, the codes can be displayed separately for each prescription without causing an input error. That is, in the present embodiment, the end (delimiter) of one input by depressing the input key and the delimiter of each code specified by one input by inserting a delimiter are treated equally. It is characterized by:

Therefore, in the prior art, the designation of mixed codes of different prescriptions in one input is not permitted in principle, and the designation with a special symbol is exceptionally permitted in the present embodiment. Allowed to specify mixed codes of different prescriptions by one input in principle. Thus, codes of different prescriptions can be mixed and input collectively without adding extra special symbols, so that the amount of input operation can be reduced. In particular, in the case of mouse input, delimiters are automatically inserted, so that mixing can be specified as described above, so that the input key only needs to be pressed once at the end of one input. Since there is no need to release the hand, the input operation becomes very simple.

Although the present embodiment is characterized in that it is possible to specify different prescriptions in a mixed manner, it is possible to use a conventional check function for preventing the mixed specification from being used in a switching manner. An appropriate data input method can be selected depending on the type of data required to be input, such as speed, simplicity, or reliability.

[0024]

According to the present invention, even when codes of different prescriptions are mixedly input by one input, it is possible to display the codes separately for each prescription without causing an input error. As a result, codes of different prescriptions can be mixed and input collectively without adding extra special symbols,
The amount of input operation can be reduced. In particular, in the case of mouse input, a delimiter is automatically inserted, so that it is only necessary to press the input key once at the end of one input, and it is not necessary to release the mouse. Operation becomes simple.

[0025] Further, since the case where the mixed designation of different prescriptions is permitted and the case where the mixed prescription is not permitted by one input are used in a switching manner, data to be input such as quickness, simplicity or reliability is required. Depending on what is done, it is possible to select an appropriate data input method.
