Description

Picture Archiving and Communication and Viewing System for a Hospital and service Method

The present invention relates to a medical image storage, transmission, inquiry system and service method in a hospital, and in particular, one of the disadvantages of PACS while accommodating all the advantages of an ASP (Application Service Provider) and a PACS (Picture Archiving & Communication System) system. Compensation paralysis due to shutdown of the entire system due to prolonged power outages, maintenance of continuity of medical delivery system between hospitals, and easy access to medical information search and inquiry using the Internet. The present invention relates to a medical image storage, transmission, inquiry system and a service method thereof.

In general, the medical community is undergoing a lot of changes in accordance with the development of biotechnology and information and communication industry. Digital medical image storage and transmission system (hereinafter referred to as PACS system) is a system that photographs a patient's body through various medical equipment, transmits it digitally, and confirms it through a computer.

This system eliminates the need for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tomography (CT) films in hospitals.

Commercialized PACS is divided into PULL PACS and MINI PACS installed throughout the hospital.

In the past, hospitals and clinics operated hospitals and clinics centered on patients or caregivers, namely external customers, but now the need for internal customer satisfaction such as majors and employees has become an important factor that doubles the efficiency of medical work. In other words, systematic data management, sharing and utilization in hospitals are the foundation for providing better medical services.

For example, in an internship or residency training practice hospital, a lot of time is spent on obtaining, retrieving, and reading films for rounds, conferences, and paper preparation. The time inconvenience caused by film management is the same with the specialists working in the hospital.

The management of various medical records, such as film and video data, and medical charts, is not only inconvenient in time, but also involves the risk of medical accidents due to neglect of management.

In the past, when a medical accident occurred, the patient had to prove that it was a medical accident, but in the future, the direction of resolving the medical dispute is changing to the consumer's position in order to prove that the medical accident is not a medical accident.

Therefore, the necessity for the management of all medical records of patients and patients in hospitals and clinics is increasing. Especially, comprehensive and systematic management of image data such as film will play an important role in protecting medical institutions and consumers in medical disputes. It is expected and has become a practical necessity.

On the other hand, hospitals and clinics can find the basis for providing high quality medical care services through continuous cost reduction and productivity improvement. The importance of management in hospitals and clinics is increasing, and the only way to solve this problem is to become a digital environment.

The digital environment in hospitals and clinics is found to be highly effective in patient care, administrative work, education and research, and the progress toward digital environment is the only way to improve the satisfaction of external and internal customers.

Domestic Patent Application No. 60373, "Intra-system integrated information management system and method thereof" introduced by the applicant in 2000 and Domestic Patent Application No. 2946, 2002 "In-hospital medical image storage, transmission and retrieval system And its service method "have presented advanced technologies and operational plans to build a digital environment in these hospitals and clinics.

This technology is a PACS system, a type of digital medical image storage and transmission system, which has contributed to increasing the efficiency of hospital management. In addition, there are domestic patent applications No. 58430, No. 6634, No. 6535, 2000, introduced by the present applicant, of which No. 6535 is a high quality high resolution resolution based on DICOM. Decombine generation is described in detail.

The above technologies and the current PACS system acquire patient image information taken by various imaging equipment in a hospital or a clinic in a digital form instead of a film, store it in a digital storage medium, and transmit it to each terminal through a network for a medical examination room, PACS system, which is a medical image storage and transmission system that enables the user to search, check and check the patient's image information in real time wherever there is a terminal such as a ward, the PACS system (1) made in a hospital (Hospital) The configuration, information transmission, and processing flow are shown in FIG. 1 by dividing them into an image storage step and an image inquiry step.

Image storage, when the patient visits the hospital (S110), the doctor examines the patient and issues the examination result and the photographing order (S120), after entering the order in the automatic prescription delivery system (10: Order Cmmunication System) database ( DB: Data Base) transmits to the server 20 (S130), and performs a radiotransmission test (Modality) according to the order of the automatic prescription delivery system (10) to transmit the captured image to the image acquisition server (30) S140). The image data and the original data thus received are transmitted to the storage device 40 (S150), and at the same time, the image path and basic DICOM information are transmitted to the PACS database server 50 (S150a).

In this way, the image storage by the basic PACS system is processed in about 5 to 6 steps consisting of steps S110 to S150 and 150a.

Image storage by the PACS system 1 is connected to the PACS database server 50 from the clinical reading station 60 to start the inquiry service (S210), to find or specify the image to request the storage device 40 (S220). The image requested to the storage device 40 is sent to the clinical reading station 60 through the storage device 40 (S230), at the same time the PACS database server 20 sends the database information (S240).

In this way, the video search by the basic PACS system is processed in approximately 4 to 5 steps consisting of steps S210 to S240.

The advantage of the PACS system operating in hospitals and clinics is that the video can be viewed and printed out within a few seconds in the past within a few minutes, and at the same time, the video can be viewed in real time only by entering the basic contact code. to be. Therefore, there is no inconvenience such as carrying a film or storing it separately.

In addition, it can provide convenience of various image processing and image processing such as screen brightness, measurement, and magnification, and enables to efficiently rearrange the medical personnel required for film management, and permanently without losing or damaging multiple image data. Phosphorus storage is also possible.

As a result, it is possible to obtain a reduction result of a film storage location, a dark room, and a management input, to reduce indoor air pollution, and to solve a problem of waste disposal. Depending on the application, it is possible to establish an advanced education and research environment with quick and accurate information retrieval, and to exchange and share information with other hospitals in real time.

The disadvantage of the PACS system is that it does not provide better image quality than the film reading, and may cause a large gap in medical work when the system is stopped due to prolonged power failure.

In addition, when it is used for information exchange between hospitals, there is a difficulty in the delivery of medical data according to different programs and lack of standardization of data, and re-education is necessary for the mastery of computer system users. In addition, the initial investment cost is high, and the management cost is increased due to the continuous retraining and maintenance and reinvestment of the system.

As such, the conventional PACS system can be used while storing medical images and information in real time through a network, but depending on its use, there is an advantage that can be expected to maximize work efficiency, but it is complementary and standardized for system down. A variety of issues are also being pointed out in terms of cost, application and investment costs.

In general, the ASP system is a service operated by a service provider that provides a software-based service and solution in a lease concept. The ASP system allows a user to access a server of an ASP provider for a certain amount of money to use necessary software and program environments. To provide.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of data exchange between an ASP and a user. When the ASP provider has previously constructed the ASP system 80 in the Internet data center (IDC 70), the service user 90 may use an external IDC ( 70) to use the desired ASP system 80.

The general advantage of using the ASP service is that the client can build the information system environment and use it optimally in a short time while greatly reducing the initial investment cost. In this regard, it is possible to receive various services from ASPs without having to secure manpower for operation and operation.

Conventional PACS systems established by hospitals and clinics to improve the efficiency of image information and information transmission are disconnected from the utilization of this ASP service. In other words. Image information and information transmission provided through PACS system are limited in space and are in low utilization, difficult to access due to difficult operation, and do not present a countermeasure when system is down, and exchange and exchange information between hospitals There is a problem of high cost / low efficiency, such as the problem of standardization, and it is not able to provide a stable and reliable digital environment.

In addition, the medical delivery system and system through the integrated construction of the ASP system and the PACS system introduced by the applicant have to go through several steps after the user connects to the Internet, so that the contact environment is difficult for the first user and unnecessary steps to obtain necessary information. There was a problem in using it.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention, security of the disadvantages of the operation of the PACS system through the solution integrating the ASP technology to the PACS system used in the hospital, clinics To provide a medical image storage, transmission, retrieval system and its service method to use the services of the hospital at low cost.

3. ASP operation management

Checking and correcting problems by directly checking the status of all servers of the PACS system 200 including the medical information storage and transmission service system (ASP system) 310 and using the net meeting when abnormalities occur.

The service provider establishes an additional charge and statistical server (ACS) in the medical information storage and transmission service system (ASP system) 310 to receive photographing information from the database server 312 or to provide charge confirmation and statistical data. (S15)

In addition, there is an operation computer that can remotely manage each server and hospital constituting the medical information storage and transmission service system (ASP system) 310. (S16)

According to the medical image storage and transmission method, the hospital can easily receive the medical image required, and can store various image data held in the medical information storage and transmission service system (ASP system) 310 without a server. In addition to reducing management costs, the ASP system enables remote sharing and exchange of video data and information with other hospitals. The standardized storage and transmission of medical images has resulted in the expansion of logistics / human resource exchange between hospitals, reeducation, and telemedicine.

In addition, since standardized image data is sourced through the ASP system, hospitals can effectively relocate human resources by enabling integrated information management without the cost of image data processing, that is, initial facility investment cost, maintenance and upgrades. If you allow access without any technical application, you can easily access the Internet data center 300 to obtain the necessary image information and patient information, as well as quick information search and inquiry, so that the PACS system 200 can be accessed. The original intent can be accommodated as much as possible, and the hospital's medical delivery system can be transformed into a digital environment without reinvesting costs or renovating the system.

Intra-hospital medical image storage, transmission, inquiry system and service method described above are not limited to the above-described embodiments and drawings, and various substitutions and modifications without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. And it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications and variations are possible.

According to the hospital medical image storage, transmission, inquiry system and the service method according to the present invention as described above,

It can maximize the direct and indirect economic expectation effect of the PACS system built in the hospital, and provides the basis of the cyber hospital through the connection between the hospitals as well as the intranet based on the connection network connecting the Internet data center, and the existing communication network (HIS). OSC, EMR and Decom non-standard devices of PACS system also support the interface to maximize the utilization of the already equipped PACS system, significantly reduce the initial system construction cost, and improve operational efficiency, and provide remote lectures, research and education. It has the effect of enabling remote medical care. In addition, the PACS system can be stored and transmitted by other local clients even when the PACS system is down due to a long-term power outage in the hospital. Therefore, it is possible to effectively cope with the medical paralysis due to the inability to process information. In addition to facilitating the user's medical information search and inquiry, there is an effect that can quickly look up the medical information.
