In addition, a label with the patient's name and chart number written by hand is affixed to the sample container, and the laboratory that received the request form and sample container visually checks the request form and the label of the sample container. Especially when receiving a request form and a sample container from multiple medical institutions, it takes time to collate the request form and the sample container, and there is a concern that the sample container may be mistaken.

Furthermore, the conventional request form does not indicate the classification of the sample container associated with the test item, and the medical institution should confirm the type and number of sample containers when requesting the test and when receiving the sample. It was difficult, and the confirmation work was a heavy burden.

Regarding sample testing, conventionally, the name and unique number of the subject are printed on the sample submission form in characters, the unique number is printed on the bar code, the unique number is given to the sample container, and the test is performed. A management method for sample testing (Patent Document 1) in which the bar code of the sample is read and the test result is input to the unique number by computer to create a test report, and RF in which information that can identify the sample container is written. -Attach the ID media to the sample container, enter the sheet ID that can identify the test request form on the test request form, and read the sheet ID from the test request form when collecting the test request form and sample container from the medical institution. , A sample management system (Patent Document 2) for reading information written on an RF-ID medium has been proposed.

It is done by.

Next, the flow from the creation of the sample test request form using the support system S having the above configuration to the output of the test instruction file will be described below.

(Creation of inspection request form)
The medical institution M stores the sample collected from the patient in the sample container 2 and prepares the test request form 1. The inspection request form 1 (hereinafter referred to as request form 1) downloads a template (the template may be created exclusively for the medical institution M) from the cloud server 50 and prints it by operating from the terminal 20. The template of the request form 1 may be downloaded by the inspection institution K for each medical institution by operation from the terminal 10 and provided to the medical institution M.

(Issuing a label)
Next, the medical institution M operates the label issuing unit 53 of the cloud server 50 by operating from the terminal 20, inputs necessary information from the screen 21 (see FIG. 5A), and the patient information label R1 and the sample. Label R2 is created and each label is printed (see FIG. 5B). The required number of sample labels R2 is printed. The printed labels R1 and R2 are affixed to the label affixing column 1d of the request form 1 (see FIG. 6). The remaining sample information label R2 is attached to the sample container 2 (see FIG. 1). In the case of the illustrated example, three sample labels R2 are printed, one is attached to the request form 1, and two are attached to the two types (end and all) of the sample container 2. When the patient information label R1 is not attached to the label affixing column 1d, the patient information may be entered by hand in the patient information entry column 1c.

Next, the person in charge of the medical institution M fills in a check mark in the check column c of the inspection item for which the inspection is requested from the inspection request item selection column 1e of the printed request form 1. In the example of FIG. 6, check marks are entered in one place in the category A (end) and three places in the category B (all). When requesting a sample test, the person in charge of the medical institution M should check the check mark when requesting the test because the test request item selection field 1e of the request form 1 is classified by type (end / all) of the sample container. For example, the type and number of sample containers required for the request can be easily grasped and collated. The check mark may be entered by the person in charge of the medical institution M from the terminal 20.

When the combination of test items for which the patient is requested to be tested has been decided, the person in charge of the medical institution M shows in FIG. 7 instead of putting a check mark in the test request item selection field 1e of the request form 1. In the dedicated set selection field 1f, the dedicated set number (1 to 6) can be selected from the dedicated set selection field 1f, and a check mark can be entered in the check field c. In the example of FIG. 7, a check mark is written in the dedicated set number 4 (whole, sugar, powder). The check mark may be entered by the person in charge of the medical institution M from the terminal 20.

(Request for sample test)
Next, when the request form 1 and the sample container 2 are ready, the medical institution M requests the inspection institution K to perform the sample inspection, and sends the request form 1 and the sample container 2 to the inspection institution K. At the request of the medical institution M, the person in charge of the inspection institution K may visit the medical institution M to confirm and receive the request form 1 and the sample container 2. Since the test request item and the type / number of the sample container 2 are linked to the request form 1, the person in charge of the medical institution M can easily collate the test request item with the type / number of the sample container at the time of the test request. Can be done. The inspection institution K receives the request form 1 and the sample container 2 from the medical institution M, and similarly, the inspection request item and the type / number of the sample container can be easily collated at the time of receipt. The request form 1 may be transmitted in PDF format from the terminal 20 of the medical institution M to the terminal 10 of the inspection institution K.

(Image file of request form)
After receiving the request form 1 and the sample container 2, the inspection organization K reads the request form 1 into the image reading device 30, creates an image file, sends the request form image file Fi to the support server 40, and sends the request form image file Fi to the image file storage unit 41. save. When the inspection institution K receives the request form 1 in PDF format from the terminal 20 of the medical institution M to the terminal 10, the inspection institution K may send the request form 1 to the image reading device 30 and convert it into an image file.

(Image analysis of request form image file)
Next, the inspection organization K operates the image analysis unit 42 of the support server 40 in response to a command from the terminal 10, sequentially selects the request form image file Fi stored in the image file storage unit 41, and performs image analysis. .. When the image analysis unit 42 is activated, the image analysis unit 42 identifies each column included in the request form image file Fi and performs image analysis. In the case of the request form 1 of the illustrated example, the image analysis unit 42 reads the reference mark M at the corner, specifies the field (area) of each column from the position information (X, Y coordinates) of the reference mark M, and each column. Analyze the image in the field of. The field information (X, Y coordinates, width, height) in each column is associated with the position information of the reference mark M in the request form 1, and the field in each column can be specified by the image analysis unit 42.

The image analysis unit 42 has a built-in AI (artificial intelligence) -OCR (optical character recognition) function, and highly recognizes and analyzes the images in the fields of each column. First, when the patient information label R1 is attached to the label affixing column 1d, the QR code (registered trademark) is read from the patient information label R1. At the same time, the barcode is read from the sample label R2. As a result, the image analysis unit 42 recognizes the patient information of the request form 1 and the sample information associated with the request form 1. If the patient information label R1 is not affixed to the label affixing field 1d and the patient information is entered in the patient information entry field 1c with handwritten characters, the handwritten characters are read, and the patient in the request form 1 is also used. Recognize information and sample information.

Next, the image analysis unit 42 recognizes (determines) the inspection item including the check mark as an inspection request item when the check mark c of the inspection item is included in the inspection request item selection column 1e. ), And read the character string (image data) of the inspection item. If the check mark is not included in the inspection request item selection field 1e and the check mark is included in the dedicated set selection field 1f, the dedicated set number of the dedicated set containing the check mark is the inspection request target. It is recognized (judged) as a dedicated set and the set number (image data) is read.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, even if the arrangement of inspection request items is different in the same category in the request form by different medical institutions (hospital A, clinic B), the image analysis unit 42 checks. Since the check mark and the check item character string (image data) are read (that is, the check mark and the inspection item character string are treated as a set), the inspection institution K recognizes the mark and reads the checked inspection item character string (image data). It is possible to grasp and manage the number of processing cases and the degree of load.

(Character string information conversion in each column)
Next, the inspection organization K operates the character string information conversion unit 43 of the support server 40 in response to a command from the terminal 10, and the character string information conversion unit 43 performs image data (inspection request) of the field recognized by the image analysis. In the case of the item selection field 1e and the dedicated set selection field 1f, the image data of the field of the item selected by the check mark) is converted into character string information.

(Output of inspection instruction file)
Next, the inspection organization K operates the output unit 44 of the support server 40 in response to a command from the terminal 10, and the output unit 44 converts the field into character string information (inspection request item selection field 1e, dedicated set selection). In the case of column 1f, the CSV format inspection instruction file Fs is output from the field of the item selected by the check mark).

9 and 10 show an output example of the inspection instruction file. FIG. 9 shows the patient attribute part, and FIG. 10 shows the examination detail part. As shown in FIG. 9, each item such as a medical institution, a request date, a reception number, and patient information is arranged in the patient attribute unit, and character string information corresponding to the field of each item is output.

As shown in FIG. 10, each column of a dedicated set, an inspection item, etc. is arranged in the inspection detail section, and in the dedicated set column, the items of the medical institution, the request date, the reception number, etc. are the dedicated set number. It is arranged together with the items of, and the corresponding character string information is output to the field of each item. In addition, the items of the medical institution, the request date, and the reception number are also arranged in the inspection item column together with the inspection request item, and the corresponding character string information is output in the field of each item. When two or more inspection items are checked, each inspection item column is output.

The output test instruction file Fs is taken over by the clinical test system in the subsequent process with reference to FIG. 1, is transmitted to the management server 70 by a command from the terminal 10 of the test institution K, and is transmitted according to the test instruction file Fs. A sample test is performed.

Since the acceptance number of the sample is also output in the test instruction file corresponding to the test item (test request item) and the dedicated set, the instruction file and the sample container are surely collated when the sample test is performed. The sample information (reception number) of the sample label R2 attached to the sample container is read by a barcode reader constituting a part of the sample inspection system and collated with the reception number included in the inspection instruction file.

According to the present embodiment, the request form 1 is provided with a sticking column for the patient information label R1 and the sample label R2, and the respective information is read from the request form 1, so that the matching accuracy between the request form 1 and the sample container 2 is improved. However, the burden on both the inspection institution K and the medical institution M at the time of requesting or receiving the inspection can be greatly reduced.

The medical institution M can arbitrarily set the arrangement of the inspection items of the request form 1, and since the request form 1 also has a dedicated set selection column, the inspection request is made according to the actual condition of the inspection request. The usability of the calligraphy can be improved.

The inspection institution K made the request form 1 into an image file and generated an inspection instruction file containing the information necessary for the inspection instruction by image analysis. It is possible to efficiently carry out the sample test while improving the matching accuracy of the sample test requested by the medical institution.
