Description

Medical information conversion device and method

The present invention is to provide a medical information conversion device and method, in particular to a user interface that can identify various medical instruments, and to quickly read, identify, and record the required test data, and can be converted into a general format for various medical applications Medical information conversion device and method of information system.

According to the press, for the inspection or treatment of various diseases, there are established equipment, instruments and operating procedures. No matter what kind of disease, the operating procedures can not be separated from the paper materials. The examinee needs to carry the inspection sheet to each level for inspection. The medical staff must carefully perform each inspection, and must also hand-write the inspection results, and gradually check the inspection items and personal data of each examinee, so the process is often It caused many unnecessary waiting times for the examinee, which reduced the service satisfaction. Medical staff often also made human errors due to wrong handwriting or inaccurate inspection, which affected the accuracy of the inspection report.

In addition, when there are many test items, the testee must keep the paper test data issued by each station, but because the paper test data does not record the testee's personal information, if the tester accidentally loses or leaves When the main file is used, the station’s detection must be repeated. Moreover, the equipment and instruments of each station are different. When the nursing staff needs to integrate the detection results of each equipment and instrument, it can only be directly viewed and manually input, which is quite inconvenient.

Of course, the electronicization of medical information is also the direction of the major hospitals. However, the two most commonly used systems in the current medical system are: Healthcare/Hospital Information System (HIS) and medical digital Image transmission protocol (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, DICOM), but there is no simple, effective and automatic information conversion method between the two and the above equipment. As a result, the recording or transmission of medical information still cannot avoid a lot of manual identification or input.

Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and deficiencies is where the inventors of the present invention and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are desperate to study the direction of improvement.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the inventor of the present invention has collected relevant data, evaluated and considered through multiple parties, and based on years of experience accumulated in this industry, through continuous trial and modification, began to design such identifiable medical devices The use of the interface, and quickly read, identify, record the required test data, and can be converted into a general format and suitable for various medical information systems, medical information conversion devices and patents of invention patents.

The main purpose of the present invention is to use the comparison analysis of the interface and the identification conversion of the output format to make the present invention highly adaptive.

Another main purpose of the present invention is to effectively integrate body identification data and detection data, and generate relay conversion information in a common format, so as to greatly reduce the human negligence of medical personnel during data transmission.

To achieve the above object, the main structure of the present invention includes: a conversion device electrically connecting at least one medical device, the conversion device electrically connecting at least one comparison database for storing a plurality of data recording formats, and the conversion device There is an interface comparison module electrically connected to the comparison database, which is used to read the use interface format of the medical device, and then extract a data record format conforming to the use interface format from the comparison database, And a data acquisition module electrically connected to the interface comparison module is provided in the conversion device, the data required by the user is retrieved from the user interface format, and at least one identity is provided on the conversion device Identification module, and then a conversion module is provided in the conversion device for integrating the information of the interface comparison module, the data acquisition module and the body identification module to generate a relay conversion information; When the user uses the present invention to convert medical information, in addition to using the body identification module to read the subject's personal information first, after each medical device is tested, it can also use the comparison database in the conversion device. Provide multiple data record formats for interface comparison module comparison, to extract a data record format in the comparison database that conforms to the interface format of the medical device, and then use the data retrieval module to retrieve users The required data, and use the conversion module to integrate the captured data with the subject's personal information into a relay conversion information. In this way, during the detection of front-end medical information, subjects and medical staff can greatly reduce errors caused by human negligence through electronic information transmission and adaptive data integration, and improve operational efficiency. During the review and review of information, the relay conversion information can also be converted into common formats such as HIS through the conversion module to improve the overall operation convenience.

With the above-mentioned technology, it is possible to break through problems such as a high proportion of manual operations, a high risk of human negligence, difficulty in detecting information, and difficulty in reconciling the conventional medical information system, to achieve the practical advancement of the above advantages.
