By the way, when displaying a list of patient search results, it is common to use a list in which patient information related to the searched patients is displayed in individual rows for each patient. However, in this method, the more items of patient information to be displayed, the longer the line and the wider the width of the list. Since the size of the screen is finite, if there are many items, it is necessary to make it possible to browse the desired item by a horizontal scrolling operation, or to narrow the width of the display area for each item. Both of these methods reduce the visibility of patient information.

Further, when it is desired to rearrange the patient information of each patient in the list, there is a method of using the display area of the item name in the list as an operation button for executing the rearrangement operation. In this method, since the data of the item corresponding to the operated display area is selected as key information for sorting, the sorting operation is easy. However, as the number of items increases as described above, it becomes more difficult to find the item to be operated, and the operability of rearranging is lowered.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a patient information list display program, method, and information processing apparatus that enable easy-to-see patient information and easy sorting operation.

In one proposal, a patient information listing program is provided that causes a computer to perform the following processes. When the computer detects an instruction to display a list, this patient information list display program refers to a patient database in which data corresponding to a plurality of items are registered for each of a plurality of patients, and selects a list of patients among the plurality of patients. One or more target patients to be displayed in a list are extracted from the database, and for each target patient, a process for displaying a list of data corresponding to each of a plurality of items acquired from the patient database is executed. Here, in the list, a first area in which data corresponding to a plurality of first items among the plurality of items are arranged in a column direction, and data corresponding to one or more second items among the plurality of items are arranged in rows. Patient information arranged in the same row as the second regions arranged in the direction is generated for each target patient and arranged in the column direction, and item names corresponding to each of the plurality of first items are arranged in the column direction. is displayed at a position corresponding to the display position of the first region. Further, the patient information list display program causes the computer to execute processing for rearranging the patient information according to a predetermined rule associated with the selected item name when detecting a selection operation for the item name in the third area.

In one proposal, a patient information list display method is provided in which a computer executes processing similar to the processing based on the patient information list display program described above.
Furthermore, one proposal provides an information processing apparatus that executes the same processing as the processing based on the above patient information list display program.

In one aspect, it is possible to display a list of patient information that is easy to see and that can be rearranged easily.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example and a processing example of an information processing apparatus according to a first embodiment. The information processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a storage unit 1a and a processing unit 1b. The storage unit 1a is realized, for example, as a storage area of a storage device (not shown) included in the information processing apparatus 1. FIG. The processing unit 1b is realized, for example, as a processor (not shown) included in the information processing apparatus 1. FIG.

A display device 2 is also connected to the information processing device 1 . The display device 2 may be directly connected to the information processing device 1 or may be connected to a terminal device connected to the information processing device 1, for example.

In the information processing device 1, a storage unit 1a stores a patient database (DB) 1c. Data corresponding to a plurality of items are registered in the patient database 1c for each of a plurality of patients.

When detecting an instruction to display a list, the processing unit 1b refers to the patient database 1c and extracts target patients to be displayed in a list from the plurality of registered patients. For example, the processing unit 1b receives search conditions and extracts patients whose data registered in the patient database 1c match the search conditions as target patients.

In the following, as an example, it is assumed that patients P1 to P3 are extracted as target patients. The processing unit 1b acquires data corresponding to each of the plurality of items from the patient database 1c for each of the extracted patients P1 to P3. Then, the processing unit 1b displays on the display device 2 a list 10 listing the data acquired from the patient database 1c for each of the patients P1 to P3. This list 10 has the following structure.

In the list 10, patient information 11a, 11b, 11c for each of the patients P1, P2, P3 are arranged in columns. That is, the patient information 11a to 11c correspond to "rows" in the list 10. FIG.

Further, in each of the patient information 11a to 11c, an area 12a in which data corresponding to a plurality of first items among the plurality of items are arranged in the column direction (vertical direction), and A region 12b in which data corresponding to one or more second items are arranged in the row direction (horizontal direction) is arranged in the row direction. That is, regions 12a and 12b for the same patient are displayed in the same row corresponding to that patient. In the example of FIG. 1, the data of items A1 to A3 are arranged in the column direction as the first item in the area 12a, and the data of the items B1 and B2 are arranged in the row direction as the second item in the area 12b. It is

Furthermore, in the list 10, an area 13 (indicated by a thick line) in which item names (items A1 to A3) corresponding to each of the plurality of first items are arranged in the column direction corresponds to the display position of the area 12a. displayed in position. The area 13 is divided into item name display areas 13a, 13b and 13c in which items A1, A2 and A3 are respectively displayed as item names. These item name display areas 13a to 13c not only display the item names, but also serve as operation buttons for rearranging the patient information 11a to 11c.

When the processing unit 1b detects a selection operation on one of the item names in the area 13, that is, any of the item name display areas 13a to 13c, the processing unit 1b displays the patient information 11a according to a predetermined rule associated with the selected item name. Rearrange ~11c.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the data of item A2 indicates the date, and the data of item A2 for each of patients P1, P2, and P3 are "2018/9/10" and "2019/1/10". Suppose that it is "2018/11/1". It is also assumed that a rule of "sort in ascending order" is set for item A2. In this case, when a selection operation for the item name of item A2 (item name display area 13b) is detected, the processing unit 1b rearranges the patient information 11a to 11c so that patient information 11a, 11c, and 11b are arranged from the top. .

In the list table 10 described above, in each display area of the patient information 11a to 11c, only some items (items A1 to A3) of the items of the patient database 1c are arranged and displayed in the column direction. . As a result, the horizontal width of the list 10 is reduced compared to the case where all the data of the items A1 to A3, B1, B2 are arranged and displayed in the row direction, and as a result, the items A1 to A3, B1, B2 The visibility of each data can be improved.

For example, the possibility of having to scroll the screen horizontally in order to be able to browse the data of items B1 and B2 is reduced. Alternatively, when the list 10 is displayed within the screen without scrolling, the width of the display area for each data item A1 to A3, B1, and B2 can be widened. In any case, the visibility of each data of items A1 to A3, B1 and B2 is improved.

Further, in the list 10, the data of items A1 to A3 are arranged in the column direction, so that the size of the display area for these data is smaller than the display area for the data of items B1 and B2. However, as the items displayed in the area 12a, items used for rearranging the patient information 11a to 11c are selected. The data of such items are often less necessary to be browsed than the data of other items that are not used for sorting. In addition, it can be said that the data of the items used for sorting is not necessarily the data that the viewer wants to check. For this reason, the reduction in the display area of the data of the items used for sorting is less likely to be a factor in lowering the visibility of the data. Therefore, in the list 10, the contents of the patient information 11a to 11c are easy to see as a whole.

Furthermore, the patient information 11a to 11c can be rearranged by a simple operation of selecting the item names themselves of the items A1 to A3. At this time, the horizontal width of the list 10 is reduced as described above, and the item names to be selected are arranged in the column direction and displayed, making it easier to find the item name. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability for rearranging the patient information 11a to 11c.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to display a list of patient information that is easy to see and that can be easily rearranged.

A display screen appears.

One or more patient groups can be set for each user who operates the terminal devices 200, 200a, 200b, . Therefore, in the display control database 112, the record 112a for each patient group is actually registered separately for each user.

A patient group name, search conditions, incidental item definition information, and normal item definition information are registered in the record 112a of each patient group. These patient group names, search conditions, incidental item definition information and normal item definition information are arbitrarily set by the user.

A patient group name is a name for identifying a patient group. A search condition is a condition for searching for a patient belonging to a patient group.
The incidental item definition information is definition information related to incidental items. The incidental item is an item displayed as the incidental information of the patient among the items of the patient database 111 (excluding the item of basic information). As will be described later, data of additional items (additional information) is used as key information for sorting records for each user on the search result display screen. In the incidental item definition information, item names of items classified as incidental items are set, and how to display these items is defined. Also, in the incidental item definition information, sorting rules used for sorting are set for each item name set as an incidental item.

The normal item definition information is definition information related to normal items. A normal item is an item displayed on the search result display screen as an item other than an incidental item among the items of the patient database 111 (excluding items of basic information). As described above, the data of the incidental items is data that can be used as key information for sorting, whereas the data of the normal items are confirmed by the viewer on the search result display screen, or can be said to be the main data to be compared in In the normal item definition information, item names of items classified as normal items are set, and how to display those items is defined.

Next, the search result display screen will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of a search result display screen. A search result display screen 400 shown in FIG. 7 includes a selection area 410 for selecting a patient group and a search result list table 420 .

Selection buttons 411 to 413 for selecting patient groups are displayed in the selection area 410 . By performing a selection operation on the selection buttons 411 to 413, the patient corresponding to the selected selection button is retrieved from the patient database 111 as the patient group corresponding to the selection button. Then, the retrieved information about the patient is listed in the retrieval result list 420 .

In the example of FIG. 7, patient groups named "hospitalization," "appointment," and "surgery" are set, and selection buttons 411, 412, and 413 are associated with the patient groups "hospitalization," "appointment," and "surgery," respectively. It is For example, when a selection operation is performed on the selection button 411, search conditions corresponding to the patient group “hospitalization” are acquired from the display control database 112, and patients matching the acquired search conditions are searched from the patient database 111. Information relating to the retrieved patient is then displayed in a retrieval result list 420 .

The search result list 420 includes an item display area 430 in which item names are displayed, and records 441a to 441f corresponding to each patient searched. In each of the records 441a to 441f, the retrieved patient information is basically arranged in the row direction (horizontal direction) and displayed. In FIG. 7, the records of six patients are displayed as an example, but records of other retrieved patients may be displayed by, for example, scrolling the screen in the vertical direction.

In each patient's records 441a to 441f, a basic information column 451, supplementary information columns 452a and 452b, and normal information columns are arranged in the row direction (that is, arranged in the same row). In FIG. 7, as an example, normal information columns 453a to 453g for seven normal information are arranged.

The basic information column 451 displays basic information (basic information) of the patient such as the patient's identification number and name. These pieces of information are extracted from information registered as basic information in the patient database 111 .

Data (incidental information) of the incidental item defined in the incidental item definition information of the display control database 112 is displayed in each of the incidental information columns 452a and 452b. Data of a plurality of incidental items can be displayed in each of the incidental information columns 452a and 452b. In this case, the data of each incidental item are arranged in the column direction (vertical direction) and displayed.

In the item display area 430, an incidental item name display portion 431 is displayed at a position corresponding to the incidental information column 452a, and an incidental item name display portion 432 is displayed at a position corresponding to the incidental information column 452b. The incidental item name display portion 431 displays the item name of the data displayed in the incidental information column 452a. When data of a plurality of items are arranged in the column direction in the incidental information column 452a, the item names of those items are also arranged in the column direction in the incidental item name display section 431 and displayed. Similarly, the incidental item name display portion 432 displays the item name of the data displayed in the incidental information column 452b. When data of a plurality of items are arranged in the column direction in the incidental information column 452b, the item names of those items are also arranged in the column direction in the incidental item name display section 432 and displayed.

In each of the normal information columns 453a to 453g, normal item data (normal information) defined in the normal item definition information of the display control database 112 is displayed. Each of the normal information columns 453a to 453g displays only one type of normal item data. Therefore, in each patient's records 441a to 441f, the data of the normal items are all arranged in the row direction.

In the item display area 430, normal item name display portions 433a to 433g are displayed at positions corresponding to the normal information columns 453a to 453g, respectively. The normal item name display portions 433a to 433g display the item names of the data displayed in the normal information columns 453a to 453g, respectively. Also, in the item display area 430, the normal item names can be classified according to the type of item content. For example, in FIG. 7, the item names of the normal item name display portions 433a and 433b are classified by the classification name displayed in the classification name display portion 434a, and the item names of the normal item name display portions 433c to 433e are displayed in the classification name display portion 434b. Classified by the displayed classification name. Note that item names displayed as normal items and information about the classification of each item are set in the normal item definition information of the display control database 112 .

Here, a search process according to patient group selection will be described. As described above, search conditions for searching for patients are set for each patient group. Search conditions are set using a patient group setting screen as shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the patient group setting screen. As shown in FIG. 8, the patient group setting screen 500 includes a selection area 510 for selecting a patient group and a search condition setting area 520 for setting search conditions.

In the selection area 510, tabs of "Hospitalization", "Appointment", and "Surgery" are displayed. By selecting the “hospitalization” tab, it becomes possible to set search conditions for the patient group “hospitalization” in the search condition setting area 520 . By selecting the "Appointment" tab, it becomes possible to set search conditions for the patient group "Appointment" in the search condition setting area 520 . By selecting the “surgery” tab, it becomes possible to set search conditions for the patient group “surgery” in the search condition setting area 520 .

In the example of FIG. 8, the "hospitalization" tab is selected, and at this time, the search condition setting area 520 displays setting areas 521 to 525 for setting search conditions for the patient group "hospitalization".

In the setting area 521, any one of "hospitalization date", "discharge date", and "hospitalized" can be selected as the search category, and in the setting area 522, the search period can be set. When "hospitalization date" is selected as the search category, patients whose hospitalization date is included in the search period are searched. If "date of discharge" is selected as a search category, patients whose date of discharge is included in the search period will be searched. If "hospitalized" is selected as the search category, patients who are hospitalized during the search period are searched.

In the setting area 523, the clinical department can be selectively set. Information indicating the ward in which the patient is hospitalized can be selectively set in the setting area 524 . In the setting area 525, the patient's attending physician can selectively set.

In the example of FIG. 8 above, patients who satisfy all of the search conditions specified in the setting areas 521, 522, 523, 524, and 525 belong to the patient group "hospitalization" and are included in the patient database 111. It will be searched from. Also, as in the example of FIG. 8, when the patient group "hospitalization" is selected, information about the hospitalization of the patient is set as a search condition.

In addition, although not shown, when the patient group "reservation" is selected, information related to the patient's examination reservation is set as a search condition. For example, the period of the reservation date, the clinical department in which the examination is performed, the doctor in charge of the examination, the type of examination content, the examination content at the time of examination, and the like are set as search conditions. Furthermore, although not shown, when the patient group "surgery" is selected, information on the patient's surgery is set as a search condition. For example, the period of the surgery date, the surgical procedure indicating the type of surgical procedure, and the surgeon and assistant in charge of the surgery are set as search conditions.

FIG. 9 is a first diagram showing a display example of a search result list. FIG. 9 shows a display example when the patient group "hospitalization" is selected.
First, with reference to FIG. 9, items displayed in the basic information column 451 of each record will be described. As described above, the basic information column 451 displays the patient's basic information (basic information). In the example of FIG. 9, the basic information column 451 contains the patient's identification number, the patient's name in kana (the name is written in kana), the patient's name in kanji (the name is written in kanji), and the patient's age. The data of each item is arranged and displayed in the column direction.

Next, the additional item name display portions 431 and 432 and the additional information columns 452a and 452b will be described.
The incidental item name display portion 431 is divided into four item name display portions 431a to 431d in the column direction. Each of the item name display portions 431a to 431d indicates an incidental item displayed in the incidental information column 452a. Similarly, the incidental item name display portion 432 is divided into four item name display portions 432a to 432d in the column direction. Each of the item name display portions 432a to 432d indicates an incidental item displayed in the incidental information column 452b.

In the example of FIG. 9, each of the incidental item name display portions 431 and 432 includes four item name display portions capable of displaying incidental items. This indicates that for each of the additional information columns 452a and 452b, data of up to four additional items can be arranged and displayed in the column direction.

By the way, as described above, each of the additional information fields 452a and 452b can display the data of the additional items individually set for each patient group. In FIG. 9, the item names of the additional items set for the patient group “hospitalization” are displayed in the additional item name display portions 431 and 432 .

In the incidental item name display portion 431, "admission date", "discharge date", "ward/hospital room", and "medical department" are displayed in the item name display portions 431a, 431b, 431c, and 431d as the item names of the incidental items. there is Therefore, when the patient group “hospitalization” is selected, data corresponding to each item of “hospitalization date”, “hospital discharge date”, “ward/room”, and “medical department” are displayed in the additional information column 452a of each record. They are arranged and displayed in order from the top to the direction.

Further, in the incidental item name display portion 432, as item names of the incidental items, "department transfer category", "main doctor", and "medicine in charge" are displayed in the item name display portions 432a, 432b, and 432c, respectively. Item names are not displayed in the item name display portion 432d. Therefore, when the patient group "hospitalization" is selected, data corresponding to each item of "transfer classification", "main attending doctor", and "attending doctor" are displayed in the column direction in the incidental information column 452b of each record. displayed in order from top to bottom.

On the other hand, as described above, data of normal items individually set for each patient group can also be displayed in each of the normal information fields. In FIG. 9, the item names of the normal items set for the patient group "hospitalization" are displayed in the normal item name display portions 433a to 433d. In the normal item name display portions 433a, 433b, 433c, and 433d, "hospital treatment plan", "nutrition management plan", "reservation", and "instruction/consent form" are displayed as the item names of the normal items. Therefore, in the normal information columns 453a, 453b, 453c, and 453d of each record, data corresponding to each item of "hospital treatment plan", "nutrition management plan", "reservation", and "instruction/consent form" are displayed. be done.

In the example of FIG. 9, as shown in the classification name display section 434a, the items "hospitalization treatment plan" and "nutrition management plan" are classified under the classification name "hospitalization document". Further, as shown in the classification name display portion 434b, each item of "Reservation" and "Instruction/Consent Form" is classified under the classification name of "Scheduled Surgery".

FIG. 10 is a second diagram showing a display example of the search result list. FIG. 10 shows a display example when the patient group "surgery" is selected.
In the example of FIG. 10, in the incidental item name display portion 431, "surgery date" and "operative procedure" are displayed in the item name display portions 431a and 431b as the item names of the incidental items. Therefore, when the patient group "surgery" is selected, data corresponding to the items "surgery date" and "surgical procedure" are arranged in order from the top in the column direction in the incidental information column 452a of each record. displayed.

Further, in the incidental item name display portion 432, "surgeon", "medicine in charge", and "assistant" are displayed in item name display portions 432a, 432b, and 432c as the item names of the incidental items. Therefore, when the patient group "surgery" is selected, data corresponding to the items "surgeon", "medicine in charge", and "assistant" are displayed from the top in the column direction in the incidental information column 452b of each record. displayed in order.

On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 10, the normal item name display portions 433a, 433b, 433c, and 433d display the item names of the normal items, such as "instructions (regarding surgery)," "agreement (regarding surgery)," and "hospitalization date," respectively. "Discharge date" is displayed. Therefore, in the normal information columns 453a, 453b, 453c, and 453d of each record, data corresponding to each item of "description," "consent," "hospitalization date," and "discharge date" are displayed, respectively.

In the example of FIG. 10, as shown in the classification name display portion 434a, the items "instructions" and "consent forms" are classified under the classification name "surgery documents". In addition, as shown in the classification name display portion 434b, each item of "hospitalization date" and "discharge date" is classified under the classification name of "hospitalization schedule".

By the way, the item name display portions 431a to 431d of the incidental item name display portion 431 and the item name display portions 432a to 432d of the incidental item name display portion 432 are selection buttons capable of receiving selection operations. When a certain item name display portion is selected, the data of the item displayed in the item name display portion is used as key information, and the records of the search result list 420 are sorted according to the sort rule associated with the item. (rearranged).

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining sorting of records for each patient. In FIG. 11, as an example, it is assumed that the item name display portion 431b of the incidental item name display portion 431 is selected from the state in which the patient group "hospitalization" is selected and the search results are displayed as shown in FIG. do. Since "Date of Discharge" is displayed as the item name in the item name display portion 431b, the records 441a to 441f are sorted using the data of the item "Date of Discharge" as key information by the selection operation. For example, the records 441a to 441f are sorted so that the date of "discharge date" is in descending order or ascending order.

Sorting rules for sorting are determined in advance for each item name display section and each item name displayed there. For example, if the item name is a numerical value such as date, the records 441a to 441f are sorted so that the numerical value of the item is in descending or ascending order. Also, if the item name is a character string, such as the department or doctor in charge, the records 441a to 441f are sorted so that the specific character string is at the top. Alternatively, the records 441a to 441f are sorted so that the initial letters of the character strings are arranged in alphabetical or alphabetical order.

According to the search result display screen 400 described above, only the data of specific items (attached items) among the items displayed in each record are arranged in the column direction, and the data of other items (ordinary items) are arranged in the column direction. They are arranged one by one in the row direction. By arranging the data of some items in the column direction, the number of items arranged in the row direction is reduced, and the width of the display area for the data of each item is reduced. As a result, it becomes easier for the user to browse the data of each item, especially the data of the normal item.

For example, when the data of all items to be displayed are arranged in the row direction, the width of the display area increases as the number of items increases. In this case, in order to browse the data of each item, the width of the display area of each item must be reduced, or the horizontal scroll operation must be performed frequently. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the width of the display area for each item can be increased, and the frequency of scroll operations can be suppressed, thereby increasing ease of browsing.

In addition, with this item display method, the size (vertical length) of the display area of the incidental items arranged in the column direction on one record is smaller than the display area of the normal items. Therefore, the data of the supplementary items may be in a state where it is more difficult to browse than the data of the normal items. However, items used as key information for sorting are set as additional items. Data of such supplementary items are often less necessary to be browsed than data of normal items that are not used as key information. In addition, it can be said that data of additional items used as key information is not necessarily data that the reader wants to check. For this reason, the reduction in the display area of the data of such incidental items is less likely to hinder ease of browsing.

In particular, when searching for patient information, there are cases where the information that the viewer really wants to know about the patient and the ancillary information that is used only to classify the patient are separated. Therefore, by classifying the former information as normal information and the latter information as incidental information, the visibility of the former information is improved, and as a result, the visibility of the search results on the entire search result display screen 400 is improved. can be improved.

Further, by a simple operation of selecting the item name display area (item name display portions 431a to 431d, 432a to 432d) of the incidental items, sorting key information can be selected and sorting can be executed. That is, it is possible to perform sorting with a simple operation while improving the visibility of information that is highly necessary to be browsed as described above.

Here, if the horizontal width of the display area is increased by arranging all items, not just the incidental items and normal items, in the row direction, the display area of the item to be selected for sorting may be reduced, or the item may not be displayed. You may have to scroll horizontally to find it. Therefore, the operability for sorting is low. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the width of the search result list 420 is reduced as described above, making it easier for the viewer to search for the location of the item name display portions 431a to 431d and 432a to 432d. In addition, their display areas can be increased. Therefore, operability for sorting can be improved.

Further, in the server 100 described above, additional items used as key information can be arbitrarily set for each patient group. As a result, items to be used for sorting can be set for each patient search condition, so that the operability of the viewer can be improved. In addition, depending on the importance of browsing for each item, which may change depending on the patient's search conditions, it is possible to set items that display data in small size and items that display data in large size. As a result, the data of each item can be displayed in an appropriate layout according to the importance of viewing the data of each item. Items to be used for sorting can be set in advance according to patient search condition patterns.

Next, processing of the server 100 will be described using a flowchart.
FIG. 12 is an example of a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the server.
[Step S11] The display control unit 130 determines whether an operation to select a patient group has been performed on the search result display screen 400 in the terminal device. When a selection operation is performed on any of the selection buttons 411 to 413, it is determined that a patient group selection operation has been performed. If a patient group selection operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S12. If the patient group selection operation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S15.

[Step S12] The display control unit 130 notifies the search processing unit 120 of the selected patient group. The search processing unit 120 acquires from the display control database 112 the search conditions set for the notified patient group. The search processing unit 120 searches the patient database 111 using the acquired search conditions, and identifies patients who match the search conditions.

[Step S<b>13 ] The search processing unit 120 acquires from the display control database 112 the incidental item definition information and the normal item definition information set for the patient group notified from the display control unit 130 . The search processing unit 120 acquires from the patient database 111 data of items defined in the incidental item definition information and the normal item definition information for each patient identified in step S12. At this time, the search processing unit 120 also acquires patient basic information about each patient from the patient database 111 .

[Step S14] The search processing unit 120 notifies the display control unit 130 of the data acquired in step S13. The display control unit 130 generates a search result display screen 400 displaying the notified data, transmits image data showing this screen to the terminal device, and causes the display device of the terminal device to display the search result display screen 400. . After that, the process proceeds to step S11.

[Step S15] The display control unit 130 selects one of the additional item names displayed in the additional item name display units 431 and 432 (one of the item name display units 431a to 431d and 432a to 432d) in the terminal device. Determine if an operation has been performed. If a selection operation has been performed on the incidental item name, the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if no selection operation has been performed for the incidental item name, the process of step S11 is executed after a certain period of time. That is, the processes of steps S11 and S15 are repeatedly executed at regular time intervals.

[Step S<b>16 ] The display control unit 130 acquires from the display control database 112 the sorting rule associated with the selected incidental item. The display control unit 130 sorts the records of each patient displayed on the search result display screen 400 according to the sorting rules acquired from the display control database 112 using the data of the incidental items displayed on the search result display screen 400. to (rearrange). After that, the process proceeds to step S11.
