The granting means 350 assigns a stop flag associated with at least information on the date of birth and the date of death to the animal patient information stored in the storage unit 120 of the server terminal 100. Further, the granting means 350 gives a stop flag to the animal patient associated with the owner terminal 400 by the notification from the owner terminal 400. Further, the granting means 140 notifies the owner terminal 400 that the stop flag has been given to the animal patient associated with the owner terminal 400 by the operation of the display operation unit 320.

The functional configuration of the owner terminal 400 can be substantially the same as the functional configuration of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 except for the granting means 350. Therefore, the description of the functional configuration of the owner terminal 400 will be omitted here.

The server terminal 100 may be configured to have the function of the display operation unit 320, and in this case, the veterinary hospital terminal 300 may not be provided.

FIG. 7 is an example of a flowchart illustrating a flow of assigning a stop flag to animal patient information in the management system 1 according to the present embodiment. In this example, a case where a stop flag is given to the animal patient information by using the veterinary hospital terminal 300 will be described.

First, the instruction receiving unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 receives the display request of the animal patient basic information of the animal patient from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 via the communication unit 110 (S101). In response to the display request, the data processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 acquires the animal patient basic information of the animal patient to be displayed (for example, the animal patient A_003 of the owner A described above) from the animal patient database 122 of the storage unit 120. do. The screen generation unit 136 generates data necessary for displaying the user interface screen for the electronic medical record on the veterinary hospital terminal 300 based on the acquired basic information on the animal patient and predetermined images and text data, and generates the data necessary for displaying the user interface screen for the electronic medical record on the veterinary hospital terminal 300. Send to. The veterinary hospital terminal 300 executes a process of displaying the electronic medical record user interface 800 as shown in FIG. 8 via a browser or an application built in the veterinary hospital terminal 300.

FIG. 8 is an example of a user interface displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user interface 800 for the electronic medical record displays the animal patient basic information of the animal patient. The electronic medical record user interface 800 shown in FIG. 8 displays image information (image) of the target animal patient. This is, for example, when the image information of the animal patient is stored in the storage unit 120 in association with the animal patient ID and the image generation unit 136 of the control unit 130 generates the user interface 800 for the electronic medical record of the animal patient. It is realized by reading out the image information associated with the animal patient ID of the animal patient.

Next, the instruction receiving unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 receives an editing request for animal patient basic information of a specific animal patient from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 via the communication unit 110 (S102). In response to the editing request, the data processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 permits the veterinary hospital terminal 300 to edit the animal patient basic information of the animal patient. The operator of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 operates the electronic medical record user interface 800 displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 to start editing the animal patient basic information, and applies the animal patient basic information to the animal patient basic information. The death confirmation information and the date of death of the animal patient can be given. The veterinary patient basic information newly edited by the veterinary hospital terminal 300 is transmitted from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 to the server terminal 100, and the instruction receiving unit 132 of the control unit 130 stores it in the animal patient database 122.

When the death confirmation information and the death date are added to the animal patient basic information, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 stops updating the electronic medical record of the animal patient to the electronic medical record user interface 800 on the animal hospital terminal 300. A display (“Stop this patient 810” in FIG. 8) is displayed (S103). For example, when the operator of the veterinary hospital terminal 300 clicks the display portion 810 to approve, a notification indicating that the operator has confirmed that the update of the electronic medical record of the animal patient has been stopped is sent from the veterinary hospital terminal 300 to the server terminal 100. Will be sent to.

When the server terminal 100 receives a notification from the animal hospital terminal 300 to stop updating the electronic medical record of the animal patient, the data processing unit 134 of the control unit 130 sets the animal patient ID of the animal patient stored in the animal patient database 122. Associate the stop flag (S104). At this time, the stop flag is associated with the date of birth and the date of death of the animal patient.

The control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 is configured to perform the following processing after the stop flag for the animal patient ID is associated.

The protective means 140 of the control unit 130 executes a process of prohibiting the update of the animal patient information regarding the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag. The protective means 140, for example, prohibits the editing of the animal patient information of the animal patient, or prohibits the viewing of a part or all of the animal patient information so that it cannot be searched from the veterinary hospital terminal 300. In this way, the animal patient information about the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag is protected by excluding it from at least one of the predetermined search methods or the predetermined editing operations. In such a prohibition process, for example, an update prohibition flag indicating whether or not to allow the update of the animal patient information is provided for each animal patient ID stored in the animal patient database 122, and the protective means 140 However, this can be done by switching on the update prohibition flag of the animal patient ID when associating the stop flag with the animal patient ID. The update prohibition flag is switched, for example, by changing the value of the update prohibition flag from the off value "0" to the on value "1".

According to the management system 1 according to the present embodiment, by executing the process of prohibiting the update of the animal patient information regarding the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag as described above, the animal concerned is after the update prohibition process is performed. It is possible to prevent the update or change of the animal patient information associated with the patient ID. Therefore, since the animal patient information associated with the animal patient ID can be managed by the management system 1 without any subsequent modification, addition, or the like, the content of the animal patient information is fixed even after the death of the animal patient. It can be stored in the management system 1 in the converted state.

Further, the protective means 140 executes a process of holding the animal patient information regarding the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag in the animal patient database 122 for a predetermined period of time. The protective means 140 deletes the animal patient information of the animal patient from the animal patient database 122 for a predetermined period from the date of death of the animal patient included in the animal patient information regarding the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag, for example. Execute the prohibited process.

The prescribed period may be arbitrarily set for each animal patient, or the Veterinary Law Construction Regulations "Cow, buffalo, shika, sheep and goat for 8 years, in other animal medical books and search books. It may be set for each animal species based on the provision that "there is 3 years", or it may be set for a uniform period (for example, 10 years). The beginning of the predetermined period for retaining the animal patient information may be, for example, the last visit date of the animal patient at the veterinary hospital, in addition to the death date as described above.

Further, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 refers to the owner terminal 400 of the owner of the animal patient based on the owner terminal information associated with the owner ID associated with the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag. It has a function of notifying that the stop flag has been added to the animal patient ID of the animal patient. When the e-mail address is used as the owner terminal information, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 sends a message indicating that the stop flag has been added to the animal patient ID (for example, "○○ (name of the animal patient ID)). Chan's electronic medical record has been stopped ") and send it to that email address. Alternatively, when the ID of the owner terminal 400 is used as the owner terminal information, the above message is displayed on the user interface 800 displayed on the owner terminal 400.

In the above description, an example of operating the veterinary hospital terminal 300 used on the veterinary hospital side to give a stop flag to the animal patient ID stored in the animal patient database 122 has been described. It is also possible to add a stop flag to the animal patient ID stored in the animal patient database 122 in response to the notification from the owner terminal 400.

For example, the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 causes the operation display unit of the owner terminal 400 to display the user interface according to the above-described processing. This user interface is provided with an item for notifying the owner terminal 400 that the patient animal owned by the owner has died. For example, the image generation unit 136 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 displays a "death confirmation" radio button on the screen of the animal patient displayed on the user interface of the owner terminal 400, and the radio button is the owner terminal 400. When selected and activated on the user interface of, an additional entry field for entering the "death date" may be displayed in the user interface so that the date of death can be entered.

When the death confirmation and the date of death of the animal patient are transmitted from the owner terminal 400 to the server terminal 100 through the user interface of the owner terminal 400 in this way, the data processing unit 134 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 is shown in FIG. As described in step S104 of the above, the stop flag is associated with the animal patient ID of the animal patient stored in the animal patient database 122, and the date of birth and the date of death of the animal patient are associated with the stop flag.

As described above, according to the management system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the stop flag is given to the animal patient ID stored in the animal patient database 122 in the server terminal 100 through the animal hospital terminal 300, the animal patient is concerned. The owner terminal 400 of the owner is notified to that effect. On the other hand, when the owner terminal 400 notifies the server terminal 100 of the death confirmation of the animal patient, the stop flag is given to the animal patient ID of the animal patient on the server terminal 100 side. As a result, the death of the animal patient is synchronously shared between the veterinary hospital terminal 300 of the veterinary hospital that has examined the animal patient and the owner terminal 400 of the owner.

<Modification example>
Next, a modified example of the management system 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

(Modification example 1)
The control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 is configured to further include information providing means (not shown) that provides health management information at a predetermined timing with reference to the animal patient database, and the information providing means has the stop flag set. The provision of the health care information regarding the given animal patient may be stopped. In this case, for example, the proposal information regarding the animal patient is generated based on the animal patient information stored in the animal patient database 122, and the proposal information is provided to the owner terminal 400 of the owner of the animal patient.

The information providing means of the server terminal 100 is the birth of the animal patient as proposed information about the animal patient, for example, based on the date of birth included in the animal patient basic information of the animal patient information stored in the animal patient database 122. Based on the message (deadline management information) notifying that the day is approaching and the vaccination history information included in the medication history information of the animal patient information, what vaccine the animal patient will receive next by when Generate a message (health care information) to remind you what to do. Then, the information providing means sends the generated proposal information to the e-mail address associated with the owner ID associated with the animal patient ID of the animal patient, or the owner associated with the owner ID. By displaying the terminal ID on the user interface of the owner terminal 400, the owner of the animal patient is notified.

This allows the owner of an animal patient to prepare a birthday present for the animal he or she owns or to inoculate his or her own animal at an appropriate time with the vaccine to be inoculated. However, while owners find such notifications useful while their animals are alive, they will receive notifications when such notifications arrive after the animal has died. Each time it reminds us of the sadness of losing the animal, it can be a burden to the owner's mind.

Therefore, the information providing means is configured to execute the processing for the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag so that the proposed information about the animal patient is not notified to the owner. Specifically, the information providing means prohibits the process of generating the proposal information about the animal patient based on the animal patient information for the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag, or the information providing means relates to the animal patient. Even when the proposal information is generated, the process of notifying the owner terminal 400 of the proposal information is prohibited.

In such a notification prohibition process, for example, a notification prohibition flag indicating whether or not to permit the notification transmission of the proposal information regarding the animal patient is provided for each animal patient ID stored in the animal patient database 122. This can be done by the information providing means by switching on the notification prohibition flag of the animal patient ID when associating the stop flag with the animal patient ID. The notification prohibition flag is switched, for example, by changing the value of the notification prohibition flag from the off value "0" to the on value "1".

As a result, the information providing means stops notifying the owner terminal 400 associated with the owner ID associated with the animal patient ID of the proposal information about the animal patient after the stop flag is associated with the animal patient ID. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the owner from being unnecessarily burdened by such notification.

(Modification 2)
As described with reference to FIG. 8, in the management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the image information of the animal patient is stored in the storage unit 120 in association with the animal patient ID, and the image generation unit of the control unit 130. When 136 generates the user interface 800 for the electronic medical record of the animal patient, the electronic medical record displayed on the display operation unit 320 of the animal hospital terminal 300 is read by reading the image information associated with the animal patient ID of the animal patient. An image of the animal patient is displayed on the medical record user interface 800.

In the management system 1 of this example, the animal patient database holds the animal patient information and the image information in association with each other, and the granting means 350 applies predetermined icon information to the image information of the animal patient associated with the stop flag. Associate so that they are displayed in a superimposed manner.

For example, the icon information associated with the stop flag is stored in the storage unit 130 of the server terminal 100. Then, the image generation unit 136 of the control unit 130 receives the image information associated with the animal patient ID when generating the user interface 800 for the electronic medical record of the animal patient with the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag. The icon information associated with the stop flag is read from the storage unit 130, and the icon information is superimposed on the image information and displayed.

FIG. 9 shows a part of the screen of the user interface 800 for the electronic medical record of the animal patient with the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag. As shown in FIG. 9, on the screen of the user interface 900, the stop flag is associated with the image information (image) 910 of the animal patient, which is the image information associated with the associated animal patient ID. The image 920 of the Rainbow Bridge, which is the icon information, is superimposed and displayed. In this way, on the screen of the user interface 900 for the electronic medical record, the animal patient died by displaying the icon information associated with the stop flag in addition to the image information associated with the animal patient ID. Therefore, the operator of the

terminals

300 and 400 can visually recognize that the animal patient information of the animal patient ID of the animal patient is not updated in the management system 1.

In this example, the image of the Rainbow Bridge was used as an example for the icon information associated with the stop flag. This is based on the legend that there is a rainbow bridge before going to heaven, and dead animals wait for their owners to come in front of the rainbow bridge, and when the owners come, they head to heaven with their owners. be. The image used as the icon information associated with the stop flag is not limited to this, and any other image can be used.

(Modification example 3)
In the management system 1 of this example, the data processing unit 134 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 is based on the date of birth and death associated with the stop flag and the animal species of the animal patient, and the survival statistics for each animal species. It also functions as a generation means for generating information. Specifically, the data processing unit 134 searches the animal patient information database 122 of the storage unit 120 for the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag for each animal species, and for each of the searched animal patient IDs, the stop flag is used. Calculate the survival time of each animal patient based on the date of birth and death of the animal patient associated with, and use the survival information to generate survival statistics for each animal species. It is composed. Survival statistics include, but are not limited to, the average life span, median life span, maximum life span, standard deviation, etc. of the animal species.

The management system 1 of this example has an advantage that animal patient information of a large number of animal patients undergoing medical examinations and treatments at a plurality of veterinary hospitals using the management system 1 is accumulated. By using such a large number of animal patient information, it is possible to generate survival statistical information for each animal species as shown in this example. In this example, it was shown as an example that the survival statistics information is generated, but as other information that can be generated by searching the animal patient ID associated with the stop flag for each animal species, the medical history for each animal species is available. There is disease statistical information (statistical information of susceptible diseases) for each species based on medical history information.

Although the embodiments related to the disclosure have been described above, these can be implemented in various other embodiments, and can be implemented by making various omissions, replacements, and changes. These embodiments and modifications, as well as those omitted, replaced and modified, are included in the technical scope of the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.
