DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical information filling system for managing personal medical information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the amount of information has become enormous in many fields, and the need for efficient management of information has been increasing. Medical information handled by hospitals and other medical institutions is no exception, and it is just a medical record that records basic information such as name, date of birth, address, history information such as medical history and hospitalization history, test data, etc. for each patient. In addition, it is necessary to store medical image information using an X-ray diagnostic apparatus, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, a CT (computer tomography), and the like. As the number of patients increases, the past information for each patient becomes more difficult. The more storage, the greater the amount of such medical information.

For this reason, in a large hospital, a system is adopted in which medical information is classified for each patient and centralized management is performed by a single file. When a patient is designated, medical information on the patient can be searched.

However, in this method, when the amount of medical information becomes enormous, it takes a very long time to search for medical information on a designated patient.

Therefore, in order to use medical information more efficiently, a recording medium 17 such as an IC card or an optical card is allocated to each patient as shown in FIG.
In addition to this, basic information 1 and history information of the patient, examination data 2
Record medical document information represented by characters and numerical values such as
When a patient brings this recording medium to the hospital, the doctor attaches the recording medium to a consultation device such as a desk,
A technique has been proposed in which arbitrary medical document data can be extracted and displayed. As shown in FIG. 4, a recording medium 18 such as an optical disk having a very large capacity as compared with the above-mentioned recording medium is allocated to each patient, and the chest X-ray image 3 and the stomach X-ray of the patient are assigned to this. Techniques for recording medical image information such as the image 4 and the ultrasonic image 5 and using the information as described above are also known (for example, JP-A-2-118775, JP-A-2-164336, etc.).

[0006]

In the former case, although the medical document information can be easily obtained, the medical image information is stored in a film like an X-ray photograph, and the necessary medical image information is manually stored. It takes a lot of time and effort to search. In the latter case, although medical image information can be easily obtained, it takes time and effort to obtain desired medical document information. Medical examination cannot be performed only with medical image information.

When the patient is examined using only examination data, the former system is effective.
When image information such as a radiograph is required for a medical examination, it is necessary to wait for the image information to be at hand and perform the medical examination, which is troublesome. In particular, if other past image information is needed during the consultation, the consultation must be interrupted until it is available, but it is virtually impossible to wait for such information during a busy consultation. It is possible.

It is conceivable to centrally manage medical image information for the former and medical document information for the latter in a single file as described above. Then, the search time becomes longer, and if an attempt is made to perform a medical examination simultaneously using the medical information from the recording medium and the medical information retrieved from this single file, at least a means for displaying these at the same time is required. It will be large.

An object of the present invention is to provide a medical information filling system which can solve the above problem and can obtain medical document information and medical image information of the same individual easily, quickly and reliably. It is in.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention records medical information such as medical document information and medical image information of an individual on a recording medium allocated to the individual, Is arbitrarily readable, and information for linking two or more desired medical information is also recorded on the recording medium, and one of the two or more linked medical information is designated and displayed on a screen. The information linked to
All medical information linked to the specified medical information
A list from which any of the other medical information can be selected is created.
By selecting other medical information from the list.
The specified medical information and other information selected from the list
And the medical information is displayed on the screen at the same time .

[0011]

By attaching the above-mentioned recording medium to the examination apparatus, medical document information and medical image information of the owner of the recording medium to be examined can be obtained without fail quickly and easily. If it is issued, the medical image information linked thereto is read out at the same time. If the predetermined medical image information is read out, the inspection data linked thereto is read out, so that the reading time is reduced.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a medical information filling system according to the present invention, wherein 1 is basic information, 2 is examination data, 3 to 5 are medical image information, and M1 to M7 are recording areas of each medical information. , D1 to D7 are directory information.
