  Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment according to the disclosed technology will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the medical institution cooperation map generation system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of medical institution terminals 20A, 20B,..., 20E, 20F,. And the user terminal 40. Medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 is an example of an information map generation device of art of an indication. In the following, medical institution terminals 20A, 20B,..., 20E, 20F,.

  The medical institution terminal 20 is a terminal arranged for each medical institution. The medical institution terminals 20 are divided into groups according to the area to which the medical institution where the medical institution terminal 20 is placed belongs. In the example of FIG. 1, the medical institution terminals 20A, 20B, ... belong to the group 21A, and the medical institution terminals 20E, 20F, ... belong to the group 21B. That is, each of the medical institutions where the medical institution terminals 20A, 20B,... Are arranged represents that it belongs to the same area (for example, the area A). Moreover, each of the medical institutions in which the medical institution terminals 20E, 20F,... Are arranged represents that they belong to the same area (for example, the area B). In the following, when the groups 21A and 21B are described without distinction, they are simply referred to as "group 21".

  Here, cooperation and cooperation information between medical institutions will be described. Each medical institution may work in cooperation with one another. For example, when introducing a patient from the medical institution A to the medical institution B, there is a case where a patient of the medical institution B uses the medical equipment that the medical institution A has. In addition, a doctor of medical institution A may be dispatched to medical institution B. Furthermore, the medical institution B's web medical records may be referred to from the medical institution B. As described above, exchanging resources such as patients, doctors, facilities, and information possessed by medical institutions with each other is referred to as “cooperation among medical institutions” in the present embodiment.

  The medical institution terminal 20 allocated to each medical institution is used for cooperation between the above medical institutions. For example, when introducing a patient from the medical institution A to the medical institution B, electronic data indicating a letter of introduction from the medical institution terminal 20A disposed in the medical institution A to the medical institution terminal 20B disposed in the medical institution B Send Further, from the medical institution terminal 20B, electronic data indicating a reply to the introduction letter is transmitted to the medical institution terminal 20A. The electronic data or the history information transmitted / received to / from the electronic data is linkage information indicating a linkage of introduction of a patient. The medical institution terminal 20 holds, in a predetermined recording area, cooperation information generated each time cooperation between medical institutions is performed.

  In addition, when the patient of the medical institution B uses the medical facilities possessed by the medical institution A, the medical institution terminal 20B located at the medical institution B accesses the medical institution terminal 20A, and the medical institution terminal 20A is placed Reserve medical facilities of institution A. In this case, this reservation information can be used as cooperation information. Moreover, also about dispatch of a doctor, by registering the information into the medical institution terminal 20, it can be handled as cooperation information. In reference to a web medical record, the reference history can be treated as linkage information.

  The linkage information includes at least information identifying the collaboration source and the linkage destination medical institution. Further, the cooperation information may include information of a disease related to an action performed by the cooperation indicated by the cooperation information. By including disease information, a cooperation map for each type of disease can be generated at the time of cooperation map generation described later. The cooperation map is an example of an information map of the disclosed technology.

  At least medical institution terminals 20 belonging to the same group 21 are connected to each other via a network. Further, each of the medical institution terminals 20 is also connected to the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 via a network. The medical institution terminal 20 transfers the cooperation information held by the own terminal to the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 at a predetermined timing.

  Note that at least one of the medical institution terminals 20 belonging to each group 21 may be functioned as a management apparatus that aggregates the collaboration information held by all the medical institution terminals 20 belonging to the group. In addition to the medical institution terminal 20, a dedicated management device may be provided for each group. In any case, when the management apparatus is provided in the group 21, the management apparatus aggregates cooperation information held by each medical institution terminal 20 belonging to the group 21 and transfers it to the medical institution cooperation map generation apparatus 30. Do.

  The user terminal 40 is a terminal used by the user. The user is assumed to be an organization that takes measures for regional medical cooperation, such as a country or a medical association, for example. The user terminal 40 is equipped with a web browser. Further, a display device is connected to the user terminal 40. The user accesses the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 via the web browser and requests generation of a desired cooperation map. Then, the user terminal 40 receives the data indicating the cooperation map transmitted from the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30, and displays the cooperation map based on the data indicating the received cooperation map on the display device.

  The medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 includes an acquisition unit 31, a calculation unit 32, and a generation unit 33 as shown in FIG.

  The acquisition unit 31 acquires linkage information from each of the plurality of medical institution terminals 20. Further, the acquisition unit 31 specifies a target area for generating a cooperation map, and acquires cooperation information from the medical institution terminal 20 belonging to the group 21 corresponding to the target area. Alternatively, the acquiring unit 31 selects and acquires the cooperation information transferred from the medical institution terminal 20 belonging to the group 21 corresponding to the target area among the cooperation information transferred from all the medical institution terminals 20. It is also good.

  The acquisition unit 31 stores the acquired collaboration information in the collaboration information database (DB) 35. An example of cooperation information DB35 is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an example in which cooperation information indicating introduction of a patient between medical institutions is stored in the cooperation information DB 35 as the cooperation information. In the example of FIG. 3, the collaboration information DB 35 includes collaboration information ID which is an identifier of each collaboration information, information of the referral source medical institution, information of the referral destination medical institution, and information of the target disease. The information on the medical institution can be a medical institution ID which is an identifier of each medical institution and a name of each medical institution. The medical institution ID and the name can be acquired by associating the medical institution terminal 20 with the identification information of the medical institution terminal 20 that exchanges the collaboration information. In addition, information on the target disease can be a disease ID and a disease name, which are identifiers of types of diseases.

  The calculation unit 32 obtains the frequency of cooperation information for each medical institution from the cooperation information for a predetermined period acquired by the acquisition unit 31. The calculation unit 32 calculates the strength of cooperation between each of a plurality of medical institutions based on the obtained frequency of the cooperation information for each medical institution. An example of the calculation result of the strength of cooperation is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 4, the frequency of exchange of cooperation information between pairs is taken as the strength of cooperation as it is for every pair of all medical institutions assumed in medical institutions included in the target area. In addition, when information on a disease is also included in the cooperation information, as shown in FIG. 4, the cooperation information exchanged between pairs of medical institutions is counted for each type of disease, and medical treatment is performed for each type of disease. The strength of cooperation between institutions may be calculated.

  The generation unit 33 includes a node indicating each of a plurality of medical institutions, and generates a cooperation map in which the nodes are connected in a display representing strength and weakness according to the strength of cooperation between medical institutions calculated by the calculation unit 32. Do. Specifically, the generation unit 33 acquires on-map coordinates for plotting a node indicating each medical institution on a map, for example, with reference to a medical institution information DB 36 as shown in FIG. 5.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the generation unit 33 plots nodes indicating each medical institution at the position on the map indicated by the acquired map coordinates. In the example of FIG. 6, the node indicating a hospital is represented by a square node, and the node indicating a clinic is represented by an elliptical node. This can be set by defining the type of medical institution (here, a hospital or a medical office) in the medical institution information DB 36 as attribute information of each medical institution, and referring to this attribute information.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, the generation unit 33 connects between nodes indicating a pair of medical institutions by a line of a width (width) corresponding to the strength of cooperation between medical institutions. The thickness of the line may be a thickness proportional to the strength of the cooperation, or the strength of the cooperation may be divided into a plurality of levels (for example, 5 levels), and the thickness may be determined according to the levels.

  In the example of FIG. 7, although the strength of cooperation is represented by the thickness of a line, it is not limited to this. For example, the color, density, type, etc. of a line may be changed to express the strength of cooperation. Also, the thickness, color, density, and type of the line may be appropriately combined and changed. Furthermore, the display connecting between nodes is not limited to lines. For example, it may be an illustration representing a chain or a hand of a person shaking hands. In this case, the strength of cooperation can be expressed by changing the type of chain, the method of shaking hands, and the like.

  The generation unit 33 transmits data indicating the generated cooperation map to the user terminal 40. In addition, when receiving information such as change of target area, selection of target disease, and the like from the user terminal 40, the generation unit 33 generates a cooperation map again according to the received information, and indicates the generated cooperation map. The data is transmitted to the user terminal 40. In addition, the generation unit 33 may generate a plurality of cooperation maps at one time. For example, a plurality of cooperation maps can be generated for each area based on the cooperation information acquired from the medical institution terminals 20 belonging to a plurality of groups corresponding to a plurality of areas. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, based on the strength of cooperation between medical institutions calculated for each type of disease, a plurality of cooperation maps can also be generated for each type of disease. Then, the generation unit 33 transmits each of the data indicating the generated plurality of cooperation maps to the user terminal 40 that has made the request.

  For example, FIG. 8 shows an example of a cooperation map generated when generation of a cooperation map in which each of the area A and the area B is specified as a target area is requested from the user terminal 40. In this case, it is possible to intuitively grasp the progress of regional medical care cooperation by comparing cooperation maps for each area. In addition, an example of a cooperation map generated when the user terminal 40 requests generation of a cooperation map in which the area A is specified as a target area and diabetes and stomach cancer are specified as types of diseases is shown in FIG. Shown in. In this case, the strength of cooperation for each type of disease can be grasped, and the difference in strength of cooperation due to the difference in type of disease can also be grasped.

  In addition, when displaying a plurality of cooperation maps, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the displayed cooperation maps are switched not only when displaying a plurality of cooperation maps side by side but also by switching windows or tabs. It is good also as a form.

  The medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 can be realized by, for example, the computer 50 shown in FIG. The computer 50 includes a CPU 52, a memory 54, a non-volatile storage unit 56, an input / output interface (I / F) 57, and a network I / F 58. The CPU 52, the memory 54, the storage unit 56, the input / output I / F 57, and the network I / F 58 are connected to one another via a bus 59.

  The storage unit 56 can be realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), a flash memory, or the like. A medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 for causing the computer 50 to function as the medical institution cooperation map generation apparatus 30 is stored in the storage unit 56 as a storage medium. The storage unit 56 further includes a cooperation information storage area 65 and a medical institution information storage area 66. The CPU 52 reads out the medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 from the storage unit 56 and develops it in the memory 54, and sequentially executes the processes possessed by the medical institution cooperation map generation program 60. The medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 is an example of an information map generation program of the disclosed technology.

  The medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 has an acquisition process 61, a calculation process 62, and a generation process 63. The CPU 52 operates as the acquisition unit 31 illustrated in FIG. 2 by executing the acquisition process 61. Further, the CPU 52 operates as the calculation unit 32 illustrated in FIG. 2 by executing the calculation process 62. The CPU 52 operates as the generation unit 33 illustrated in FIG. 2 by executing the generation process 63.

  When the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 is realized by the computer 50, the cooperation information storage area 65 is used as a storage area for storing the cooperation information DB 35 shown in FIG. Further, the medical institution information storage area 66 is used as a storage area for storing the medical institution information DB 36 shown in FIG. As a result, the computer 50 executing the medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 functions as the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30.

  The medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or the like.

  The medical institution terminal 20 and the user terminal 40 can be realized by a computer provided with a CPU, a memory, a storage unit, an input / output I / F, and a network I / F. The medical institution terminal 20 and the user terminal 40 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC or the like.

  Next, the operation of the medical institution cooperation map generation system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. The medical institution terminal 20 disposed at each medical institution holds, in a predetermined storage area, cooperation information indicating cooperation performed between medical institutions. Then, the user accesses the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 via the web browser mounted on the user terminal 40, and requests generation of a desired cooperation map. The medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 that has received the request from the user terminal 40 executes the medical institution cooperation map generation process shown in FIG.

  In step S10 of the medical institution cooperation map generation process illustrated in FIG. 11, the acquisition unit 31 acquires collaboration information from each of the medical institution terminals 20 included in the group 21 corresponding to the target area. Then, the acquisition unit 31 stores the acquired collaboration information in the collaboration information DB 35.

  Next, in step S12, from the cooperation information for a predetermined period stored in the cooperation information DB 35 in step S10, the calculation unit 32 calculates for each pair of all medical institutions assumed in medical institutions included in the target area. , Ask for the frequency of exchange of collaboration information between pairs. Then, the calculation unit 32 calculates the strength of cooperation between medical institutions based on the obtained frequency of cooperation information. When information on a disease is also included in the cooperation information, the strength of cooperation between medical institutions may be calculated for each type of disease based on the frequency of the cooperation information for each type of disease.

  Next, in step S14, the generation unit 33 acquires on-map coordinates for plotting a node indicating a medical institution included in the target area on the map with reference to the medical institution information DB 36. Then, the generation unit 33 plots a node indicating each medical institution at the position on the map indicated by the acquired on-map coordinates.

  Next, in step S16, the generation unit 33 connects between nodes indicating a pair of medical institutions by a line of a width (width) corresponding to the strength of cooperation between medical institutions calculated in the above-described step S12. Thus, the cooperation map is generated.

  Next, in step S18, the generation unit 33 transmits data indicating the generated cooperation map to the user terminal 40, and ends the medical institution cooperation map generation process. The user terminal 40 displays the cooperation map on the display device based on the received data indicating the cooperation map.

  In the medical institution cooperation map generation process described above, although the case where the cooperation information held by the medical institution terminal 20 is acquired after receiving a request from the user, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the acquiring unit 31 can acquire cooperation information from the medical institution terminal 20 as needed and store the acquired information in the cooperation information DB 35 at a predetermined timing. Then, the medical institution cooperation map generation device 30 may read the cooperation information stored in the cooperation information DB 35 at the timing when the request from the user is received, and may generate the cooperation map.

  As explained above, according to the medical institution cooperation map generation system according to the present embodiment, in the medical institution cooperation map generation device, the strength of cooperation between medical institutions is determined based on the frequency of the cooperation information between medical institutions. calculate. Then, in the medical institution collaboration map generation device, a collaboration map is generated in which nodes indicating medical institutions are connected by a display indicating the strength and weakness corresponding to the strength of collaboration between medical institutions. This makes it possible to intuitively grasp the degree of cooperation between medical institutions.

  Moreover, the cooperation map for every area | region can be produced | generated by acquiring the cooperation information of the medical institution terminal arrange | positioned at the medical institution which belongs to an object area. Also, by including disease information in the cooperation information, it is possible to generate a cooperation map for each type of disease. In this way, it is possible to provide useful information for formulating regional medical care partnerships that are optimal for local residents. In addition, for example, it is possible to grasp a medical institution where the exchange of referral patients is small, an area where a cooperation system for a specific disease is not established, etc., and these are also useful information for promoting regional medicine cooperation.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 8, it can be intuitively understood that regional medical cooperation in regional B has not progressed compared to region A, so the country or medical association should promote regional medical cooperation in regional B It can be judged that it should put in force, etc. Also, in the example in FIG. 9, Hospital A has a system for stomach cancer, and Hospital B has a system for diabetes, but it is intuitive that Hospital C does not have a system for any disease. Can be grasped. This is inconvenient for the residents of the C hospital, so the national or medical association can decide that the medical resources in this area should be optimized.

  In the above embodiment, the medical cooperation information indicating the introduction of patients between medical institutions has been described as an example (for example, FIG. 3), other medical cooperation information may be used. Also, multiple types of medical collaboration information may be used. In this case, the strength of cooperation between medical institutions can be calculated for each type of medical cooperation information. And as shown, for example in FIG. 12, the cooperation map about specific medical cooperation information can be produced | generated. The example of FIG. 12 is a cooperation map based on medical cooperation information indicating that a patient at another medical institution has reserved an examination by MRI which is equipment of a certain medical institution.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in the cooperation map, connection of nodes may be made directional. The example of FIG. 12 indicates that the patient at the medical institution indicated by the node at the start point of the arrow has reserved an examination by the MRI, which is equipment of the medical institution indicating the node at the end point of the arrow.

  In the above description, the medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 has been described as being stored (installed) in advance in the storage unit 56. However, the medical institution cooperation map generation program 60 is provided in the form of being recorded in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM. It is also possible.
