次に 図 7 〜図 9 の フ ロ ーチ ャ ー ト を用 いて感染症コ ン ト ロ ール シ ス テムが どの よ う に動作する かを説明する 。  Next, how the infectious disease control system works will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 9.
図 7 は、 検査の実施か ら検査結果が感染症情報セ ン 夕 4 の データ ゥ エ アハ ウ ス 7 2 に格納 さ れる ま で の フ ロ ー を示す。 患者は病院 4 9 で 感染症検査を 受け る 場合、 検査オーダ リ ン グシ ス テ ム 5 2 に 患者情報 が登録さ れ、 症状に応 じ た検査項 目 が登録さ れる ( A 1 )。 こ の時、 患 者情報に は住所が入力 さ れる も の と す る が、 その代替情報 と して職場 や学校、 あ る い は感染症検査 を 受け よ う と して い る 病院の住所 を用 い る シ ス テ ム も 考え ら れる 。 次 に患者は検査項 目 に応 じて血液, 尿, 便 , 組織な どの検体を採取さ れ、 そ の検体は検査項 目 情報 と共 に感染症検 査室に送 ら れる ( A 2 )。 感染症検査室では、 検査項 目 オーダ情報 と検 体を入手 し、 適当 な感染症検査装置 2 5 — 1 ~ 7 を用 いて検査を行い ( A 3 )、 検査結果を検査情報サーバ 2 4 に転送す る ( A 4 )。 そ の 日 に検査す る 全て の患者 につ いて検査が終了 す る ま で、 A 1 〜 A 4 を繰 り 返す ( A 5 )。 全て の患者に つ いて検査が終了 した時点で、 あ る いは その 日 の検査が終了 し た夜間な どの定め ら れた時刻 に な っ た ら 、 そ の 日 の検査データ を病院 4 か ら 通信ネ ッ ト ワ ーク 3 6 を介 して感染症情 報セ ン タ 1 に転送す る ( A 6 )。  Figure 7 shows the flow from the performance of the test to the storage of the test result in the data of the infectious disease information center 4 4 air house 72. When a patient undergoes an infectious disease test at the hospital 49, patient information is registered in the test ordering system 52, and test items corresponding to the symptoms are registered (A1). At this time, the address is entered in the patient information, but as an alternative, the address of the workplace, school, or hospital where the infectious disease test is going to be performed A system that uses this is also conceivable. Next, the patient collects samples such as blood, urine, stool, and tissue according to the test items, and sends them to the infectious disease laboratory with the test item information (A2). The infectious disease laboratory obtains the test item order information and the specimen, conducts a test using an appropriate infectious disease inspection device 25-1-7 (A3), and sends the test results to the test information server 24. Transfer (A4). Repeat A1 to A4 until the test is completed for all patients to be tested on that day (A5). When the examination has been completed for all patients, or at a specified time, such as at night when the examination for the day has been completed, the examination data for that day is sent from Hospital 4. The information is transferred to the infectious disease information center 1 via the communication network 36 (A6).
感染症情報セ ン 夕 1 におけ る 、 病院 4 か ら 送信さ れた検査結果デー 夕 の扱い につ い て 図 8 を用 いて説明する 。 病院 4 9 や臨床検査セ ン 夕 3 5 な どの医療機関か ら の検査結果データ を通信ネ ッ ト ワ ー ク 3 6 か ら 受信す る と ( B 1 )、 送付元の病院や通信 プロ ト コ ルか ら データ フ ォ 一マ ツ ト を読み取 り 、 決定す る ( B 2 )。 こ れは 医療機関 ご と に異な る 検査装置を使用 し た り 、 情報 シス テ ム , 通信プロ ト コ ルが異な る た め にデータ の フ ォ ーマ ツ ト ゃデ一夕 の意味, 用語が異な る場合があ る た めで あ る 。 こ れを一元的 に管理す る ため に メ タ · データ 7 4 に よ っ て デー タ を解釈 して データ 変換 · 抽出 ツール 7 3 を用 いてデ一夕 を 変換 し ( B 3 )、 図 5 お よび図 6 で示 し た感染症データ ベース 8 に検査結果 を格納する 。 Test result data sent from Hospital 4 at Infectious Disease Information Center 1 The treatment of the evening will be described with reference to FIG. When test result data from a medical institution such as a hospital 49 or a clinical test center 35 is received from the communication network 36 (B1), the sending hospital or communication protocol is received. The data format is read from the call and determined (B2). This means that different medical institutions use different test equipment, and that the information systems and communication protocols are different, which means that the format of the data is important. May be different. In order to centrally manage this, the data is interpreted by the meta data 74 and the data is converted using the data conversion / extraction tool 73 (B3), and FIG. The test results are stored in the infectious disease database 8 shown in FIG.
感染症多次元データ ベース 3 5 を用いて分析を行 う 手順 を 図 9 に示 す。 最初 に表示す る 地域を指定 し ( C 1 )、 地図情報データ ベース 3 7 か ら 地域の地図情報を検索す る ( C 2 )。 次に表示す る 地域内の感染症 デ一夕 を多次元データ ベース か ら 検索する ( C 3 )。 こ の時、 病原デー 夕 は多次元デ一 夕 ペース を 1 回の順ア ク セ ス で検索で き る も の と す る 検索 さ れた感染症デ一夕 は検索条件を満たす全データ が取 り 込ま れる も の と し、 感染症の種類や患者の職業, 地域な どの絞 り 込み条件があ ればス テ ッ プ C 4 で集計する 。 こ の よ う に して得 ら れた感染症デ一 夕 には患者の住所 に 関す る 情報があ る ため、 地域ご と に ま と めて地図情 報に合成す る ( C 5 )。 例え ば都道府県ご と に感染症の発生件数あ る い は単位人 口 あ た り の発生件数 に よ っ て数値化 し、 一定値以上の都道府 県を表示する 際 に、 そ れ ら の数値幅 に対応 し た色分け を行 う 、 あ る い は都道府県近傍に棒グラ フ , 円 グラ フ , 発生地点の プロ ッ ト な どを描 画 して も よい ( C 6 )。  Figure 9 shows the procedure for performing analysis using the infectious disease multidimensional database 35. First, the area to be displayed is specified (C1), and the map information of the area is searched from the map information database 37 (C2). Next, search for infectious diseases in the region to be displayed from the multidimensional database (C3). At this time, the pathogenesis data can be searched at a multidimensional data pace with one sequential access.The retrieved infectious disease data is all data that satisfies the search conditions. Assuming that they will be included, if there are narrowing conditions such as the type of infectious disease, the occupation of the patient, and the region, the data will be tabulated in Step C4. Since there is information on the patient's address in the infectious disease data obtained in this way, they are combined into geographic information for each region (C5). For example, when quantifying the number of cases of infectious disease or the number of cases per unit of population per prefecture, when displaying prefectures with a certain value or more, those numbers are displayed. Color coding may be performed according to the numerical range, or bar graphs, pie graphs, plots of points of occurrence, etc. may be drawn near prefectures (C6).
仮説を設定 し、 合成 し た前記地図情報 に加えて合成 し、 更 に感染症 データ を加えて詳細な画面表示を行っ て検証する ( C 7 )。  A hypothesis is set, synthesized in addition to the synthesized map information, and further added with infectious disease data and displayed on a detailed screen for verification (C7).
地図上に示 さ れた感染症データ か ら は感染症の動向が読み取れない 場合に は、 集計方法 を 変更 して ( C 8 ) も よ い。 すなわ ち 特定の職業 や地域、 期間 を指定 して も よ い。 こ の場合に はス テ ッ プ C 8 か ら ス テ ッ プ C 4 の前 ま で戻っ て 集計処理 ( C 4 )、 感染症データ と地図情報 と の合成処理 ( C 5 )、 地図情報の表示 ( C 6 ) を繰 り 返す こ と に な る 。 集計方法の変更 と して は病原体の遺伝子情報に よ っ て グルー プ分け を する こ と も有効であ る 。 Infectious disease data cannot be read from infectious disease data shown on the map In this case, you can change the calculation method (C8). That is, you may specify a specific occupation, region, or period. In this case, the process returns from step C8 to step C4 and returns to the tabulation processing (C4), the synthesis processing of infectious disease data and map information (C5), and the map information The display (C6) will be repeated. As a change in the aggregation method, it is effective to perform grouping based on the genetic information of pathogens.
地図情報の 追加表示 ( C 9 ) を行い、 表示す る 地域を変更する か を 検討する ( C 1 0 )。  The additional display of map information (C9) is performed, and it is examined whether to change the displayed area (C10).
こ う して感染症データ の地図情報に対 して、 感染経路 と 想定さ れる 地図情報を追加する こ と は、 感染経路を特定する 上で有効で あ る 。 す なわ ち例 え ば、 鉄道の表示 と、 感染症患者の居住地の プロ ッ ト を 示す こ と に よ り 、 画面か ら こ の感染症の伝達 に鉄道が何 ら かの影響を与え てい る こ と が予想で き る ためであ る 。  Adding map information assumed to be the route of infection to the map information of the infectious disease data in this way is effective in specifying the route of infection. For example, by showing the railway display and showing the plot of the residence of the infectious disease patient, the railway has some influence on the transmission of this infectious disease from the screen. This can be expected.
広域的な感染症情報は、 表示地域を マ ウ ス な どの ポィ ン ト テ ィ ン グ デバイ ス を用 い て限定 し (限定地域)、 拡大する こ と に よ っ て よ り 詳細 な情報を得る こ とがで き る 。 ( C 1 0 )。  Widespread infectious disease information can be displayed in more detail by limiting the display area using a mouse or other pointing device (limited area) and enlarging it. Obtainable . (C10).
以上の構成 に よ れば、 感染症患者の発生地理情報 と 時系列的情報 と を含む感染症データ を データ ベース に保管 し、 地図情報に基づ く (広 域的) 地図 と 、 デー タ ベース に保管 さ れた感染症患者の発生地理情報 に基づ く 感染症患者の発生地情報 と を画面 に表示 し、 前記画面に、 仮 説 し た感染経路を合成 し た感染症合成表示 を行い、 かつデータ ベース に保管 さ れた感染症データ を加算な どの方法で用 い る こ と に よ っ て仮 説 し た感染経路の検証を行 う (広域的) 感染症情報表示方法が提供さ れる 。  According to the above configuration, infectious disease data including infectious disease patient's occurrence geographical information and time-series information is stored in a database, and a (wide-area) map based on map information and a database are stored. On the screen based on the geographical information of the infectious disease patients stored on the screen, and displays a combined infectious disease display that combines the hypothesized infection route on the screen. In addition, the hypothetical route of infection is verified by using the infectious disease data stored in the database in a way such as adding, etc. (wide area) A method for displaying infectious disease information is provided. Is
詳細表示の 必要がな い と き は仮説 し た設定情報を表示す る のみで も よい。  When the detailed display is not required, only the hypothetical setting information may be displayed.
感染症合成表示を 時系列的 に行 う 広域的感染症情報表示 と す る こ と が、 仮設設定のために、 お よび実証に と っ て望ま しい。 Performing infectious disease synthesis display in chronological order Wide area infectious disease information display However, it is desirable for temporary setting and for demonstration.
デー タ ペース は、 更に感染症患者の職業、 年齢あ る いは D N A情報 な どの多次元情報を保管する (広域的) 感染症情報表示方法が提供 さ れる 。  The database also provides a (wide) infectious disease information display method that stores multidimensional information such as occupation, age or DNA information of infectious disease patients.

図 1 1 は感染症コ ン ト ロ ールの画面表示の例 を 示 して い る 。 画面 を 地図情報表示部 8 1 と操作部 8 2 に分けて、感染症の分布を解析す る 。 地図情報表示部は初期表示 と して、 本シ ス テ ムで管理す る 地域全体の 地図 を表示 し、 そ の上 に感染症患者の分布 を 表示す る 。 表示す る 地域 は図 1 2 お よ び図 1 3 に示す よ う に、 マ ウ ス で指定 し た地域を拡大表 示す る こ と がで き、 地図 の尺度 に よ っ て表示 され る 地図情報の情報量 が増え て く る 。 例え ば、 日本全体を表示す る 場合に は、 都道府県の境 界ま で の情報 しか表示 し ない が、 地方別, 都道府県別 , 市町村別な ど、 表示す る 地域が狭 く な る につ れて、 鉄道情報や、 河川 , 建造物な どの 詳細な表示を仮説情報 と して採用する 。 Fig. 11 shows an example of the screen display of the infection control. The screen is divided into a map information display section 81 and an operation section 82 to analyze the distribution of infectious diseases. As an initial display, the map information display section displays a map of the entire area managed by this system, and displays the distribution of infectious disease patients on top of it. As shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, the area to be displayed can be enlarged and displayed in the area specified by the mouse, and the map is displayed according to the scale of the map. Information volume of information Is increasing. For example, when displaying Japan as a whole, only information up to the border of prefectures is displayed, but the area to be displayed is narrower, such as by region, by prefecture, or by municipalities. Then, detailed information such as railway information, rivers, and buildings is adopted as hypothetical information.
操作部 8 2 には仮説設定の た め に使用 さ れ る ボタ ン 8 3 が設け ら れ る 。 感染経路 と して の仮設が、 航空路, 鉄道, 高速道路, 幹線道路, 一般道路, 河川 , 湖沼 , 学校 , 学区 , 工場あ る い は気象の推移な どが 選択さ れ、 設定さ れる 。 2 つ以上を設定 して も よい。  The operation unit 82 is provided with a button 83 used for setting a hypothesis.

The map information check box and the “high risk area display” that indicates the high risk areas where infectious diseases will spread in the future Button and a "Clear" button to return the map information to the initial display.
図 1 2 は地図情報データ ベース に格納さ れて い る 日 本列島 8 5 と 地 図情報 8 6 と 、 お よ び感染症の発生件数が多い都道府県 8 7 , 8 8 と を合成 して表示 した地図であ る 。 図 9 に示す例で は図面上は っ き り し ない が、 感染症の発生が一定の割合以下の ばあい に 白 地の ま ま 、 それ よ り も 発生が多いがあ る 一定基準以下の場合には淡い灰色、 発生が多 い と される基準以上の都県を濃い灰色で表わ してい る 。  Figure 12 shows a combination of the Japanese archipelago 85 and the map information 86 stored in the map information database, and the prefectures 87, 88 with the highest numbers of infectious diseases. This is the displayed map. The example shown in Fig. 9 is not clear on the drawing, but if the occurrence of infectious disease is below a certain rate, it will remain on a white background and the incidence will be more than that, below a certain standard In some cases, light gray color is used, and dark gray indicates prefectures that exceed the standard that is considered to be more frequent.
図 1 3 は図 9 にお い て ポイ ンテ ィ ン グデバイ ス を用いて指定さ れた 矩形領域を拡大表示 し た地図で あ る 。 都県の境界線が記さ れ、 感染症 の発症件数の多い県はハ ッ チ ン グさ れて い る 。 更に感染症が検出 さ れ た患者の住居に 口印 8 9 を表示 して あ る 。 ま た地図 に は鉄道 (仮に 中 央線) 9 ◦ が太線で記さ れて い る が、 こ れを感染症情報 と組み合わせ る こ と に よ り 、 鉄道が感染症の感染経路 と して何 ら かの役割 を果た と して い る こ と が予想 さ れ る 。 こ の よ う に鉄道が感染症の経路 と して仮 説設定される 。  Fig. 13 is a map in which the rectangular area specified using the pointing device in Fig. 9 is enlarged and displayed. The boundaries of the prefectures are marked, and the provinces with the highest incidence of infectious diseases are hatched. In addition, a seal 89 is displayed at the residence of the patient where the infectious disease was detected. On the map, the railway (tentatively the central line) 9 ◦ is marked with a bold line, and by combining this with infectious disease information, what is the railway's route as an infectious disease transmission route? It is anticipated that this has played a role. In this way, railways are hypothesized as routes of infectious diseases.
図 1 4 は図 1 3 を 時系列的 に 2 ヶ 月前, 1 ヶ 月 前, 現在で合成表示 を行っ て並べて表示 し た 図で あ る 。 こ れは 図 1 3 を生成す る た め の ァ ルゴ リ ズム を 実行する 際に、 C 4 か ら C 8 ま での感染症データ の集計 お よ び地図情報 と の合成図 を表示す る処理 に おい て、 デー タ を集計す る期間 を 2 ヶ 月 前, 1 ヶ 月 前お よ び現在の よ う に切 り 替え る こ と に よ つ て実現する こ と がで き る 。 こ の よ う な時系列の分布図 を 示す こ と に よ っ て 、 感染症が鉄道沿線か ら 徐々 に そ の周辺に広が り 、 隣接する 地 区に広がっ て い く 様子がわかる 。 感染症経路が検証される 。 Fig. 14 shows the composite of Fig. 13 in chronological order two months ago, one month ago, and now. This is the figure displayed side by side. This shows the aggregation of infectious disease data from C4 to C8 and a composite diagram with map information when executing the algorithm to generate Figure 13. This can be achieved by switching the data aggregation period to two months ago, one month ago, and the current time in the processing. By showing such a time-series distribution map, it can be seen that the infectious disease gradually spreads from along the railway to the surrounding area and then to the adjacent area. The route of infection is verified.
こ れに伴っ て 、 今後の感染症が広がる と 予想さ れる 領域が特定さ れ る 。  Accordingly, areas where infectious diseases are expected to spread in the future are identified.
図 1 5 は感染症患者 を年齢に よ っ て層別 し、 地図上に マ ッ ピ ン グ し た図で あ る 。 患者全体の分布は こ の地域一体に広 が っ て い る が小学校 児童で あ る 6 才か ら 1 2 才 ま で に 限っ て みれば、 小学校を 中心に感染 症患者が分布 して い る こ と がわか り 、 こ の 小学校が感染源で あ る と の 仮説を 立て る こ と がで き る 。 図 1 4 に示す よ う に して感染データ を加 算す る こ と に よ っ て感染源について の検証がな さ れる 。 こ れは図 1 5 を生成す る た め の アル ゴ リ ズム を実行す る 際 に、 データ の集計範囲 を 年齢別に分け る こ と に よ っ て実現する こ とがで き る 。  Figure 15 shows the infectious disease patients stratified by age and mapped on a map. The distribution of patients is widespread throughout the region, but if you are only an elementary school child from 6 to 12 years old, infectious disease patients are distributed mainly in elementary schools This makes it possible to hypothesize that this elementary school is the source of the infection. The source of the infection is verified by adding the infection data as shown in Fig.14. This can be achieved by categorizing the data by age when executing the algorithm to generate Figure 15.
感染源が特定さ れる と 今後の感染症が広が る と 予想さ れ る領域が特 定され、 更な る感染経路が仮設される こ と にな る 。  Once the source of the infection is identified, areas where future infectious diseases are expected to spread are identified, and additional routes of transmission will be provisionally established.

Figure 16 shows railway and infectious disease patient locations, Figure 17 shows railway and infectious disease patients, and Figure 18 shows river and infectious disease patients. This is a diagram obtained by switching the check box of the operation unit shown in Fig. 11 to a railway, a general road, a river, a lake, or a marsh. This indicates that rivers and lakes are suspicious as a route of transmission of this infectious disease.

Graphic information is also displayed. For example, even if the railway check box is selected, information on roads and rivers is displayed, and railways are displayed as bold lines. In this way, rather than selecting the information to be displayed, by cooperatively displaying it, it is clear what is suspected as an infection route, and at the same time, the relationship with other information. May be displayed so that they can be compared.

Show downstream areas with high risk and call attention to infectious diseases. That is, the high risk area 91 including the extended transmission route of the hypothetical transmission route is displayed on the screen. In other words, areas with high risks associated with river flows are displayed as areas that call attention. The same applies to other transmission routes. In this case, the function of the above-described screen display device 16 is expanded, and a screen processing display device is obtained.
