  Next, creation of input screen layout information by the input screen control apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the creation of the layout information of the input screen.

  Upon receiving the input screen creation request, in step S701, the usage scene receiving unit 31 selects a usage scene of the input screen.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a usage scene selection screen. The input screen control device 1 of the present embodiment may display the screen 80 shown in FIG. 8 on the output device 12 when receiving the input screen creation request. In this embodiment, not only the use scene can be selected, but also the department can be selected in the area 81 displayed on the screen 80. In the area 82, it is possible to select hospitalization or outpatient. In this embodiment, for example, when there is no usage scene corresponding to the usage scene table 21, a new usage scene can be set on the screen 80.

  When a use scene is selected in step S701, the process proceeds to step S702. In step S <b> 702, the item list display unit 32 searches the input item corresponding to the usage scene ID selected with reference to the screen item relation table 23. The item list display unit 32 acquires a list of input items corresponding to the selected usage scene ID and causes the output device 12 to display the list. For example, when the selected usage scene is “medical history summary”, a list of input items associated with “medical history summary” is displayed.

  In this embodiment, a display for selecting an input item arrangement method is performed together with a list of input items. The input item arrangement method includes automatic arrangement in which input items are arranged according to layout information set in the input screen control device 1 in advance, and manual arrangement in which a medical worker who creates the input screen manually arranges the input items. There are two ways.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which an item list is displayed. FIG. 9 shows an example in which “medical history summary” is selected as the usage scene. The item list display unit 32 extracts a list of input items corresponding to the item ID associated with the use scene “medical history summary” from the screen item relation table 23 and the item table 22 and displays it as a screen 90. Let Also, in the area 91 of the screen 90, a slack button for selecting whether the input item is arranged automatically or manually is displayed.

  In step S703, if automatic placement of input items is selected, the process proceeds to step S704. In step S704, the item arrangement unit 33 automatically arranges the input items displayed as a list. When the input items are automatically arranged, the item arrangement unit 33 arranges the input items according to, for example, coordinate values set in the input screen control device 1 in advance.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when input items are automatically arranged. The screen 100 is provided with a list display area 101 in which a list of input items is displayed and an arrangement area 102 in which the arrangement of input items is displayed. In this embodiment, when automatic placement is selected, all input items displayed in the list display area 101 are placed in the placement area 102.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the manual placement of the input item is selected in step S <b> 703, the process proceeds to step S <b> 705, and the item placement unit 33 places the input item on the input device 11 according to the operation.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when manually placing input items. On the screen 110, a desired input item among the input items displayed in the list display area 101 is arranged in the arrangement area 102 by dragging and dropping such as a mouse that is the input device 11. When the input items are manually arranged, only necessary input items can be arranged without arranging all the input items displayed in the list display area 101.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the arrangement of the input items is completed, the process proceeds to step S706, where the coordinate value storage unit 34 acquires and stores the coordinate values indicating the arrangement of the input items. Progressing to step S707 following step S706, the initial character number calculating unit 35 calculates the initial number of characters in the comment field.

  Hereinafter, calculation of the initial number of characters in the comment field by the initial character number calculation unit 35 will be described. In this embodiment, the number of characters per weighting factor assigned to each input item is set in advance. The initial character number calculation unit 35 calculates, as the initial character number, a value obtained by multiplying a value obtained by adding the weighting factors assigned to each input item in the list of input items and the number of characters per weighting factor.

  In this embodiment, for example, when a medical history summary is selected as a usage scene, a list of input items shown in the item table 22 of FIG. 4 is obtained. A weighting factor is assigned to each input item, and the sum of the weighting factors of each input item is 65. In this embodiment, when the number of characters per weighting factor is 10 characters, the initial number of characters in the comment field is a value obtained by multiplying 65 and 10 to 650 characters.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the initial number of characters is calculated in step S707, the process proceeds to step S708, and the item arrangement unit 33 determines the size of the comment field according to the calculated initial number of characters, and arranges the comment field.

  Proceeding to step S709 following step 708, the layout information storage unit 36 uses the coordinate value indicating the layout of the input item, the coordinate value indicating the layout of the comment field, and the initial number of characters stored in step S706 as layout information. Saved in the layout information management table 24.

  Next, a process for displaying an input screen based on layout information generated by the input screen control apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining processing for displaying an input screen.

  In this embodiment, when the input screen is displayed, the minimum number of characters that can be input in the comment input field is calculated using the initial number of characters, and the size of the comment field is set according to the calculated minimum number of characters.

  When the input screen control apparatus 1 receives the input screen display request in step S1201, the process proceeds to step S1202. In step S <b> 1202, the input screen control device 1 acquires all the input items of the input screen for which the request has been received by the item information acquisition unit 42 of the minimum value setting unit 40. Specifically, the item information acquisition unit 42 extracts the item ID associated with the screen ID of the input screen that has received the display request in the layout information management table 24, and associates the item ID with the item ID with reference to the item table 22. Get input item.

  In step S1203 following step S1202, the item information acquisition unit 42 acquires the weighting factor for each input item acquired with reference to the item table 22, and adds the acquired weighting factors. Progressing to step S1204 following step S1203, the layout information acquisition unit 41 acquires layout information for displaying the requested input screen from the layout information management table 24, and acquires the initial number of characters included in the layout information.

  Progressing to step S1205 following step S1204, the minimum character number calculation unit 43 calculates the minimum number of characters using the initial number of characters.

  The calculation of the minimum number of characters will be described below. In this embodiment, the minimum number of characters is calculated based on the sum of the weighting factors of the input items and the initial number of characters.

  In this embodiment, the minimum number of characters is calculated by the initial number of characters− (value obtained by adding weighting factors × number of characters per weighting factor) / 2. That is, in this embodiment, the minimum number of characters is calculated by the initial number of characters−initial number of characters / 2. In this embodiment, the value subtracted from the initial character number is the value obtained by dividing the initial character number by 2. However, the value subtracted from the initial character number may be a value obtained by dividing the initial character number by a predetermined number.

  When the minimum number of characters is calculated in step S1205, the process advances to step S1206, and the comment field setting unit 44 sets the size of the comment field according to the minimum number of characters.

  An example of the input screen displayed by the above processing is shown in FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen in which the minimum number of characters is set.

  The input screen 130 includes a comment field 131 and a standard information input field 132. The comment column 131 is a column in which atypical information that cannot be managed by attributes is input, and the standard information input column 132 is a column in which standard information that can be managed by attributes is input. In the input screen 130, nothing is entered in the standard information input field 132, so the number of characters that can be entered in the comment field 131 is the minimum number of characters, and the size of the comment field 131 is also the smallest.

  In this embodiment, when the standard information is input to the standard information input field 132, the comment field 131 is changed so as to become larger according to the input state of the standard information.

  Hereinafter, the change in the size of the comment field 131 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the change of the size of the comment field.

  In step S1401, when the standard information is input, the input receiving unit 51 of the changing unit 50 receives the input, and the process proceeds to step S1402. In step S1402, the weighting factor acquisition unit 52 of the changing unit 50 refers to the item table 22 and acquires the weighting factor of the input item of the input fixed form information.

  Progressing to step S1403 following step S1402, the number-of-characters calculation unit 53 calculates the number of characters to be added to the minimum number of characters (hereinafter, the number of added characters) using the acquired weighting factor. In the character number calculation unit 53 of the present embodiment, a value obtained by multiplying the weighting coefficient by the number of characters per weighting coefficient is set as the added character number.

  Progressing to step S1404 following step S1403, the comment field changing unit 54 determines whether the sum of the number of added characters and the minimum number of characters is equal to or less than the initial number of characters. If the sum of the number of added characters and the minimum number of characters is equal to or less than the initial number of characters in step S1404, the process proceeds to step S1405. If the sum of the number of added characters and the minimum number of characters is larger than the initial number of characters in step S1404, the process ends.

  In step S1405, the comment field changing unit 54 sets the number of characters that can be input to the comment field as the sum of the minimum number of characters and the number of added characters, and changes the size of the comment field according to the total number of characters of the minimum number of characters and the added number of characters. To do.

  An example of the input screen displayed by the above processing is shown in FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen in which the size of the comment field is changed.

  The comment field 131A of the screen 150 is larger than the comment field 131 of the screen 130. This is because, in the screen 150, the standard information is input to the columns 132A and 132B of the standard information input column 132. In the comment field 131 </ b> A of the screen 150, the number of added characters corresponding to the input items of the input fixed form information is added to the minimum number of characters, and the number of characters that can be input is larger than that of the comment field 131 of the screen 130.

  As described above, in the input screen created by the input screen control device 1 of this embodiment, the number of characters that can be entered in the comment field before the standard information is input is the minimum number of characters, and a large amount of information is input. I can't do it. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prompt the user to preferentially input the fixed information.

  Since the fixed information can be managed for each attribute, it can be used for later statistical data. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prompt input of information in consideration of later data use.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the standard information is input, the number of characters that can be input in the comment field is increased corresponding to the input standard information, and the comment field is enlarged. Therefore, more atypical information can be input after inputting the standard information.

  In the description of this embodiment, the comment field can be made smaller. For example, when the standard information is deleted from the state where the standard information is input on the input screen, the number of characters that can be input to the comment field is the number of characters calculated based on the weighting factor assigned to the input item of the deleted standard information. The number of subtracted characters may be used. In this case, the size of the comment field is reduced as the number of characters that can be input is reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the input screen control device 1 is configured to include the database 20, the screen creation processing unit 30, the minimum value setting unit 40, and the changing unit 50. However, the minimum value setting unit 40 and the changing unit 50 include the input screen. You may provide in the external apparatus connected with the control apparatus 1. FIG.
