Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of an information processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment. The information processing device 100 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, an HDD 104, a display unit 105, an input unit 106, and a communication unit 107. The CPU 101 reads the control program stored in the ROM 102 and executes various processes. The RAM 103 is used as a main memory of the CPU 101 and a temporary storage area such as a work area. The HDD 104 stores various data and various programs. The functions and processing of the information processing apparatus 100 described later are realized by the CPU 101 reading a program stored in the ROM 102 or the HDD 104 and executing the program.

The display unit 105 displays various information. The input unit 106 has a keyboard and a mouse and receives various operations by the user. The communication unit 107 performs communication processing with an external device via the network.

A patient DB 111 and a medical DB 112 are stored in the HDD 104. The patient DB 111 stores information related to the patient, such as name, sex, date of birth, in association with the patient ID. The medical DB 112 stores information related to medical care such as a medical information ID, a type of medical information, a date and time, a doctor in charge, and a simple image in association with a patient ID. The patient DB 111 and the medical DB 112 do not necessarily have to be included in the information processing device 100, and may be stored in a server device that can communicate with the information processing device 100. In this case, the information processing device 100 may receive the information stored in the patient DB 111 or the medical DB 112 from the server device via the network.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a medical information display process by the information processing device 100. In S200, the CPU 101 determines a target patient to be processed. Specifically, the CPU 101 controls to display the patient list of patients stored in the patient DB 111 on the display unit 105. The CPU 101, for example, displays the patient information of one patient in one line, and displays the patient information in a list format that enumerates the patient information of a plurality of patients. Then, in response to a user operation, a patient selection instruction is accepted, and the patient associated with the selection instruction is determined as the target patient.

Next, in S201, the CPU 101 determines the display format of the medical information list according to a user operation. Here, the medical information list is a list of simple information corresponding to the medical information of the target patient selected in S200. The simple information is information having a smaller data size than the medical information. Examples of the simple information include partial information of medical information, reduced images such as thumbnails of images included in the medical information, and the like.

In the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, two display formats, list display and matrix display, can be selected as the display format when displaying a list of medical information. The CPU 101 displays a selection screen on which the list display and the matrix display can be selected, and determines the display format according to the user operation on the selection screen. If the display format is not selected by the user, the CPU 101 may determine the preset display format as an initial setting. For example, when the initial setting is the list format, the CPU 101 determines the display format to be the list format when the selection is not made by the user.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a display format. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the list display, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the matrix display. In the list display of FIG. 3A, a list area 301 is provided on the left side of the display screen 300, and an area that does not overlap the list area 301, that is, a medical information area 303 is provided on the right side of the list area 301. .. Also in the matrix display of FIG. 3B, the list area 311 is provided on the left side of the display screen 310, and the medical information area 313 is provided on the right side of the list area 311.

In the list area 301 of the list display, a plurality of lines including one line 302 of the patient information of one patient are displayed in a list format, so that a plurality of medical information items are displayed in a list. On the other hand, in the matrix display list area 311, a plurality of pieces of medical information are displayed in a list by arranging the medical information in cells 312 in a matrix having time as columns and types as rows. Note that, as another example, the rows and columns of the matrix displayed in the list area 311 may be exchanged, and time may be a row and type may be a column.

The medical information area 303 in FIG. 3A is provided with four areas 304a to 304d. Detailed information (for example, a medical image) of one medical information is arranged in each of the areas 304a to 304d. That is, the CPU 101 can simultaneously display four pieces of medical information in the medical information area 303. The number of pieces of medical information that can be displayed in the medical information area 303 is not limited to that in the embodiment. Further, the area sizes of the list area 301 and the medical information area 303 are assumed to be predetermined. In addition, each area size can be arbitrarily set and changed.

Returning to FIG. 2, in S202, when the display format is determined to be the list display (Yes in S202), the CPU 101 advances the process to S203. When the display format is determined to be the matrix display (No in S202), the CPU 101 advances the process to S207. In step S203, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 105 to display the display screen in the display format of the list display. The CPU 101 displays, for example, the display screen 300 shown in FIG. The CPU 101 further displays, in the list area 301, the medical information regarding the target patient among the medical information stored in the medical DB 112 as the medical information that can be selected as the medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 303.

Next, in S204, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not a selection instruction of medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 303 has been received in response to a user operation. When the user selects one medical information from the medical information displayed in the list area 301 of the display screen 300 and further selects the area in which the selected medical information is arranged from the areas 304a to 304d, the CPU 101 , Medical information and a selection instruction indicating an area are received. When the selection instruction is accepted (Yes in S204), the CPU 101 advances the process to S205. When the CPU 101 does not accept the selection instruction (No in S204), the process proceeds to S206.

In step S205, the CPU 101 controls to display the medical information related to the selection instruction in the area related to the selection instruction. For example, in the list area 301 of the display screen 300 shown in FIG. 3, when the row 302 is selected and the area 304a is selected, medical information such as the CT image shown in the row 302 is displayed in the area 304a. Next, in S206, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not an end instruction has been received in response to a user operation. When the CPU 101 receives the end instruction (Yes in S206), the medical information display process ends. When the CPU 101 does not receive the end instruction (No in S206), the process proceeds to S201.

In step S207, the CPU 101 confirms whether the user has already selected the medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 313. For example, when the processing of S203 to S205 has already been performed, and the processing of S207 has been executed after the medical information has been selected by the user in S204, the CPU 101 displays the medical information to be displayed in the medical information area 303. Judge that it is selected. If the medical information has been selected (Yes in S207), the CPU 101 advances the process to S208. If the medical information to be displayed is not selected (No in S207), the CPU 101 advances the process to S214.

In S208, the CPU 101 determines the types to be displayed as items in the matrix of the list area 311. Here, the type is the type of medical information. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines the type of medical information being displayed in the display area and the type selected as a matrix item by a user operation as the type to be displayed as a matrix item. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the item setting screen 400. When the user puts a check in the “display” column corresponding to the type to be added to the matrix item on the item setting screen 400, the checked type is selected as the matrix item. For example, medical information such as “CT”, “blood”, “pathology”, and “MRI” is already displayed in the medical information area 303 of the display screen 300, and “CT” and “MRI” are displayed on the item setting screen 400. , "US", "ES", "photograph", "chart" and "pathology" are selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, “ES”, “photograph”, “chart”, “pathology” and “blood” are determined as matrix items. .. The process of S208 is an example of the type determination process.

The CPU 101 of the present embodiment also determines the arrangement order of items in the matrix according to the category of each medical information. For example, the arrangement order of each item is determined so that medical information having the same major item attribute shown in FIG. 4 continues. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, for “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, and “ES”, which belong to the major items of the “PACS image”, the consecutive arrangement order is determined.

Next, in S209, the CPU 101 determines the time range of the columns of the matrix of the list area 311. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines the range from the oldest date and time to the latest date and time among the dates and times of the selected medical information as the time range of the columns of the matrix. For example, the date and time t1 corresponding to the cell 501 shown in FIG. 5 is the oldest date and time of the selected medical information, and the date and time t2 corresponding to the cell 502 is the latest date and time of the selected medical information. Suppose there is. In this case, the time range from t1 to t2 is determined as the time range of the matrix columns. The process of S209 is an example of the range determination process. Note that a predetermined margin may be set for the range from the oldest date to the latest date and time of the selected medical information dates and times, and a wider range may be set as the time range of the columns of the matrix.

In step S209, the CPU 101 may limit the time range based on the date and time of the selected medical information, and the specific process for that is not limited to the embodiment. For example, the CPU 101 may determine, as the time range, a certain period centered on the date and time of the selected medical information.

Next, in S210, the CPU 101 creates a matrix based on the items (type of medical information) of the matrix determined in S208 and the time range determined in S209. Then, the CPU 101 arranges the simple information of the medical information to be displayed in the corresponding cells of the matrix. The medical information to be displayed is associated with the date and time within the time range determined in S209 and of the type determined in S208 among the medical information of the target patient stored in the medical DB 112. Medical information. Note that the CPU 101 uses standard sizes defined for the row height and the column width in the matrix. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the processing of S210 and S211. Here, the standard size is set in advance in the information processing apparatus 100 as a size suitable for displaying the scroll bars 601 and 602 in the list area 311 and displaying the matrix while scrolling the list area 311. To do. The process of S210 is an example of the creating process.

Next, in S211, the CPU 101 obtains a display magnification such that the entire matrix created in S210 fits in the list area 311. Then, the CPU 101 controls to display the display screen 300 in which the matrix of the obtained display magnification is arranged in the list area 311. The process of S211 is an example of the display control process. The CPU 101 appropriately reduces the width of the column so that the entire time range determined in S209 fits within the horizontal width of the list area 311. When there are a plurality of pieces of medical information of the same item and the same date and time, the CPU 101 arranges cells of a plurality of pieces of medical information side by side. Therefore, in consideration of this point, the display magnification of the width of the column is set. decide. Further, the CPU 101 appropriately reduces the line height so that all of the types (items) determined in S208 fit within the vertical length of the list area 311. As shown in FIG. 6, the standard size matrix is reduced in column width and row height so that the entire matrix is displayed in the list area 311 without displaying the scroll bars 601 and 602.

Further, in the information processing apparatus 100, the minimum values of the width of columns and the height of rows are set. Then, when the column width and the row height determined by the above processing are smaller than the respective minimum values, the CPU 101 changes the value smaller than the minimum value to the minimum value, and then scrolls. The entire matrix is displayed in the list area 311 without displaying the bars 601 and 602.

Next, in S212, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not the selection instruction of the medical information displayed in the cell 312 is received in response to the user operation. It is assumed that the user selects the medical information arranged in the cells of the matrix displayed in the list area 301 of the display screen 300, and further selects the area in which the selected medical information is arranged from the areas 314a to 314d. In this case, the CPU 101 receives medical information and a selection instruction indicating the area. When the selection instruction is accepted (Yes in S212), the CPU 101 advances the process to S213. If the selection instruction has not been received (No in S212), the CPU 101 advances the process to S206. In step S213, the CPU 101 controls to display the medical information related to the selection instruction in the area related to the selection instruction of the medical information area 313.

On the other hand, in S214, the CPU 101 determines the type of display target. During the processing of S213, since there is no selected medical information, the CPU 101 determines the type selected by the user operation on the item setting screen 400 as the type to be displayed as the matrix item. Next, in S215, the CPU 101 determines the time range of the columns of the matrix of the list area 311. Specifically, the CPU 101 determines, as a time range, a range from the earliest date and time to the latest date and time among the dates and times of all the medical information of the target patient stored in the medical DB 112.

Next, in step S216, the CPU 101 creates a matrix based on the matrix items (types of medical information) determined in step S214 and the time range determined in step S215, and displays the medical information to be displayed in the matrix. Place it in the corresponding cell of. Note that the CPU 101 uses standard sizes defined for the row height and the column width in the matrix. When there are a plurality of pieces of medical information having the same item and the same date and time, the CPU 101 arranges cells of a plurality of pieces of medical information side by side. Therefore, in consideration of this point, the horizontal size of the entire matrix is determined. ..

Next, in S217, the CPU 101 controls to display the display screen 300 in which the matrix created in S216 is arranged in the list area 311. Then, when the vertical size of the created matrix is larger than the vertical size of the list area 311, the CPU 101 arranges the upper side of the matrix in the list area 311 and controls to display a scroll bar on the vertical axis. .. Further, when the horizontal size of the matrix is larger than the horizontal size of the list area 311, the CPU 101 arranges the right side of the matrix in the list area 311 and controls the horizontal scroll bar to be displayed. The size of the height of the row and the width of the column referred to in S215 may be smaller than the standard size.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment limits the medical information displayed on the display screen based on the medical information selected by the user. Therefore, the user can easily find and display necessary medical information. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 can display appropriate medical information without requiring a complicated operation by the user.

As a first modification, in S210, the CPU 101 may increase the height of the line corresponding to the already selected item of the medical information type compared to the height of the line corresponding to other items. .. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of a matrix according to the first modification. It is assumed that the medical information of the types “CT”, “MRI”, “pathology” and “blood” shown in FIG. 3 has already been selected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 101 sets the line heights of “CT”, “MRI”, “pathology” and “blood” to other than the selected type such as “US”. Increase the line height of the item corresponding to the type. More specifically, in the information processing apparatus 100, it is assumed that the ratio of the height of the selected medical information type row to the height of another type of row is predetermined. Then, the CPU 101 determines the height of each row so that all items to be displayed are displayed while maintaining this ratio.

As a second modified example, in S210, the CPU 101 may exclude, from among the types to be displayed, the types for which the medical information of the target patient does not exist from the items. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, “CT”, “MRI”, “US”, “ES”, “photograph”, “chart” and “pathology” are selected on the item setting screen 400, but “US”, It is assumed that there is no medical information of "ES" and "photograph". In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, "US", "ES", and "photograph" are excluded from the matrix items. As a result, only the items necessary for the user can be displayed.

In addition, as a third modification, a plurality of devices may cooperate to perform the medical information display processing described with reference to FIG. For example, the first device included in the information processing system may perform the process of S200, and the second device may perform the other processes. Further, as another example, the first device included in the information processing system may perform the process related to the display, and the second device may perform the process other than this.
