The label DB 132 stores information regarding a label given to an animal patient (hereinafter, referred to as label information). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of label information. The label information may include granting conditions, priority order, and color in association with the label. The granting condition is a condition for automatically granting a label to an animal patient. For example, for the label of "new patient", it can be a condition that the medical record information is not registered. For example, for the label of "first visit", the case where the medical record information of the date of the past one month does not exist can be a condition for granting. For example, for labels such as "bleeding" and "vomiting", it can be a condition that the interview includes keywords such as "bleeding" and "vomiting". For example, regarding the label of "filaria", it is possible to give the condition that the result of the examination is "filaria" in the latest medical record information and the interview contains the keyword "same symptom as the previous time". For example, for the label of "X-ray completed", it is possible to make it a condition that "X-ray" is included in the inspection item of today's medical record information. For example, for the label of "waiting for accounting", it is possible to make it a condition that the medical examination result is registered in the medical record information of the animal patient who has been reserved or accepted, and the item related to the payment of accounting is not registered. .. The priority order indicates the order in which the labeled animal patients should be preferentially examined and examined. As a general rule, even when examining / testing animal patients that have been accepted first, for animal patients with a high priority label, the examination / examination, etc. should be performed first regardless of the order of reception. can do. The color is the color when the label is displayed.

The rule DB 133 stores a rule for determining the order of consultation of animal patients. The rules can be set for any information, such as medical record information or labels given to animal patients. For example, a priority order is set for the label, and a rule for determining the consultation order can be set according to the priority order of the label and the reception date / time (waiting time).

The status DB 134 stores information (status information) indicating the state of the animal patient. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration example of status information. The status information includes the reception date and time, the status, and the label in association with the patient ID that identifies the animal patient. The status indicates the status from the visit to the end of the examination. As for the status, for example, it has been accepted to indicate that it has been accepted at the hospital, it is waiting for an examination to indicate that it has received an examination before the examination, it is being examined to indicate that it is currently being examined, and it is waiting for an examination. It can be either waiting for medical examination, indicating that the examination is currently underway, or having been examined, indicating that the examination has been completed. In addition, the status may be set as the end status when the examination is completed, the accounting is completed, and the veterinary hospital has nothing to do with the animal patient. The label indicates the label given to the animal patient. The label may contain more than one label.

The granting unit 111 assigns a label to the animal patient. The giving unit 111 can give a label to an animal patient in response to an input from the medical worker R1 using the user terminal 20. The assigning unit 111 can also automatically assign a label. As described above, the granting unit 111 refers to the animal patient when the granting conditions included in the label information are satisfied by the chart information, status information, and other acquireable information regarding the animal patient. A label of label information can be given. The giving unit 111 can set the label given to the animal patient to the label of the status information corresponding to the animal patient. When a label is given to an animal patient, the giving unit 111 can also notify the owner terminal 30 of the given label.

The display unit 112 can display a list of labels given to animal patients. In the present embodiment, the display unit 112 can display the label together with the status information.

The status update unit 113 updates the status of the animal patient. The status update unit 113 can, for example, detect the update of the medical record information and update the status of the status information. The status update unit 113 may also update the status according to the designation from the medical worker R1 using the user terminal 20.

The waiting time acquisition unit 114 acquires the waiting time of the animal patient. In the present embodiment, the waiting time acquisition unit 114 can calculate the time from the reception time of the status information to the current time as the waiting time.

The statistical information generation unit 115 can perform aggregation for each label. In this embodiment, the statistical information generation unit 115 can count the number of animal patients for each label. The statistical information generation unit 115 can perform arbitrary aggregation for each label. The statistical information generation unit 115 may, for example, aggregate the total waiting time for each label, the average, and the like. Further, the statistical information generation unit 115 may, for example, perform aggregation for a combination of a plurality of labels, or, for example, may perform aggregation for a certain label for each of the other labels assigned at the same time. ..

<Operation>

The server 10 creates status information at the time of consultation with an animal patient (S401). If the interview is conducted via the owner terminal 30 before the visit, the status information is created before the visit. When the animal patient is accepted at the veterinary hospital, the server device 10 updates the acceptance time of the status information (S402). For example, the server 10 may acquire the reception time from the reception system, or may receive the input of the patient animal and the reception time from the medical worker R1. Further, the server 10 can update the reception time every time the reception is performed, when the reception of the examination or the reception of the medical examination is performed, in addition to the reception of the visit.

The server 10 searches for label information for which the grant condition is satisfied by the chart information, status information, and other acquireable information, assigns a label of the label information satisfying the grant condition to the animal patient, and assigns the assigned label to the status information. (S403). Further, the server 10 can receive the designation of the label to be given from the medical worker R1, give the designated label to the animal patient, and add the given label to the status information (S404).

The server 10 displays a list of waiting patient animals (S405). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen 41 displaying a list of waiting patient animals. On the screen 41, a list of patient animals visiting the veterinary hospital is displayed, and for each patient animal, a waiting time 411, a status 412, and a label 413 are displayed. The server 10 can display the time from the reception time of the status information to the current time as the waiting time 411. Further, the status and the label of the status information can be displayed as the status 412 and the label 413 of the screen 41. When displaying the label 413, the server 10 can display the label 413 in the color specified as the color of the label information.

The server 10 can display the aggregation result obtained by aggregation for each label (S406). The server 10 corresponds to the label by counting the unique patient ID of the status information including the label for each of the unique labels contained in the status information which is the status other than the termination status. The number of waiting patient animals can be counted. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen 42 displaying aggregated information. As shown in FIG. 9, the number of waiting animal patients 422 is displayed for each label 421. The screen 42 also includes a label designation field 423, counting the patient IDs of the status information corresponding to the label (s) designated in the designation field 423, and the number of waiting patient animals for the designated label. 422 can also be displayed.

As described above, in the state management system 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily grasp what kind of animal patient is waiting in the veterinary hospital.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the above embodiment is for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and is not for limiting the interpretation of the present invention.
