(Prior art) The method of creating a report of findings by a doctor in a hospital is, for example, in the radiology department, when a doctor
Typically, patients sit in front of a film with a line film on and record their findings on paper (medical records) while watching the film. In the United States, it is common practice for a doctor to record his findings into a tape recorder while watching the film, and then have someone else play it back and write a report using a word processor or typewriter. There is.

In recent years, in order to efficiently manage and utilize finding information for each patient, digitizing this information and managing and utilizing it via a computer has received widespread attention. However, the biggest problem in putting this into practical use is how to input the finding information into a computer. At present, the most reliable input method is to use a word processor, but input using a keyboard is too cumbersome for doctors who are not familiar with computers.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventionally inputting finding information using a keyboard was complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides a finding input device that allows finding information to be input easily and quickly.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a template selection means for selecting an already input text that can be the basic form of a finding report as a template for inputting findings, and a template correction method for correcting the selected template. The present invention is characterized by having a finding information management means for managing the text obtained by selecting or modifying the template as new finding information.

(Function) In the present invention, an already input text that can be the basic form of a finding report is selected as a template for inputting findings, and the selected template is appropriately modified to obtain new finding information. By doing so, it is possible to input finding information easily and quickly.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention.

As shown in the figure, the device of this embodiment has a finding data management section 1.

The finding data memory 1 stores patient's finding data, and is under the control of the finding data management section 1. That is, the writing of the finding data sent from the control section 3 into the finding data meter 2 and the reading of the finding data in the finding data memory 2 are performed under the control of the finding data management section 1. Here, this finding data management section 1 corresponds to finding information management means in the present invention.

The template memory 5 stores sentences serving as a basic form of a finding report as a template. Typical content of findings, such as the sentence "No abnormality", can be defined as a template, and a finding report created in the past for a typical case can also be defined as a template.

This template memory 5 is under the control of the template management section 4.

The control unit 3 controls the operation of the entire device of this embodiment,
It is composed mainly of a CPU (central processing unit). C
The RT display 6 displays information for inputting findings, and this CRT display 6 is equipped with a bitmap compatible display. This CRT display 6
The input screen is made up of multiple windows.

The operation section 7 is used to input various information through operations by an operator (doctor), and includes a keyboard, a pointing device, and the like. This operation section 7 functionally includes patient information input means 7a, template selection means 7b, and template modification means 7c.

The patient information input means 7a is for inputting patient information such as the patient's name or patient ID number into the apparatus of this embodiment.
A D card reader or the like is applied.

The template selection means 7b is for selecting a desired template, and the template modification means 7C is for appropriately modifying the template selected by the template selection means 7b as necessary. This template selection means 7b.

For example, a single pointing device (such as a mouse) can be used as the template modification means 7G. In the apparatus of this embodiment, the above-mentioned template selection means 7b and template modification means 7C are realized by this pointing device.

FIG. 2 shows a pointing device 8 applied to the apparatus of this embodiment. This pointing device 8 has a first switch 9 that sets the device to pointing mode, a second switch 10 that commands display of a template selection pop-up menu, and a second switch 10 that commands display of a work pop-up menu. 3 switches 11. The contents of the template selection pop-up menu and the work pop-up menu will be described later.

Next, the operation of the embodiment apparatus configured as described above will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

The task of inputting findings begins by inputting the patient's name or patient ID number (Sl). This input is performed using a keyboard or a patient ID card reader (both belong to the patient information input means 7a). When the input in step S1 is performed, patient information, $L, examination information, etc. of the patient are displayed on the CRT display 6 under the control of the control section 3 (S2). FIG. 4 shows a display example in this case.

The patient information area 12 contains the patient's name and patient ID number.

The doctor in charge 9 date, etc. are displayed, and the examination information area 13 displays the examination name, examination date, etc. In addition, the canilia 14 has the default function of the device of this embodiment.
The patient's previous findings have appeared. After confirming the patient based on the patient information and test information, the doctor presses the second switch 10 on the pointing device 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 16, a window is opened in a part of the search style canilia 14, and a template selection pop-up menu is displayed here. The doctor then operates the pointing device 8 to select the above template selection pop-up menu (S3).
.

If the case has no particular abnormality,
When "No abnormality" is selected and this selection information is recognized by the control section 3, the display content of the caniglia 14 is changed from the default display content to "No abnormality" under the control of the control section 3. In this case, the finding input work is completed by selecting "no abnormality".

For notable cases, pointing device 8
It is preferable to select the "template list" through the operation, display the list on the CRT display 6, and select the template most suitable for the case in question. This template selection causes the template to be stored in the template memory 5.
The information is read out from within and displayed on the display style canilia 14 under the control of the control unit 3. In addition, when selecting a template,
If a suitable template does not exist in the template memory 5, "Search" is selected by operating the pointing device 8. Then, the device of this embodiment enters a search mode for the finding information stored in the finding data memory 2 (finding information that has already been input), and by manually inputting the patient name, diagnosis name, etc. in the finding data memory 2. More desired finding information can be searched and used as a template. In addition, you can change the default by selecting "Change default", and "Previous findings"
You can display the previous findings by selecting .

After a template is selected as described above, the task is to partially modify the template (S4).

This modification mainly focuses on so-called cutting and tensioning. That is, when the third switch 9 on the pointing device 8 is pressed, a window is opened in a part of the finding input screen, and the work pop-up menu 17 is displayed here, as shown in FIG. Then, by operating the pointing device 8, the doctor specifies a certain portion 18 in the template and copies, moves, or deletes it. To copy, use the pointing device 8 to select "Copy" in the work pop-up menu 17, to move, select "Move" in the menu 17, and to delete. To do so, select "Erase" in the menu 17.

It is also possible to replace the specified portion 18 with a word registered in the dictionary in advance. In this case, by selecting "Dictionary" in the work pop-up menu 17 using the pointing device 8, the dictionary 19 is displayed in a part of the finding input screen as shown in FIG. Select the desired word 20 with the pointing device. Then, the specified part 18 above becomes dictionary 1.
The word in 9 can be replaced with 20. Note that the dictionary can be formed in the template memory 5, for example.

The finding report created in this manner is transferred to the finding data management section 1 via the control section 3, and written into a predetermined storage area of the finding data memory 2 under the control of this finding data management section 1.

Next, the doctor determines whether or not to end the finding input work (S5), and if it is determined to end, the doctor returns to the "patient information input" of step S1, and also determines to end. If so, the finding input using the device of this embodiment is ended.

In this way, with the device of this embodiment, it is possible to complete the input of findings by simply selecting a template for cases without abnormalities or common typical cases, and for cases that are noteworthy. Normally, the input of findings can be completed by selecting the above template and replacing part of the template with words from the dictionary, and there is almost no need to create new sentences using the word processing function from the keyboard. Therefore, according to the device of this embodiment, finding information can be input more easily and quickly than in the past.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a finding input device that allows finding information to be input easily and quickly.
