In addition, the integrated management unit 110 is configured to control communication interfaces to manage data transmission and reception operations between each sub-component and an external device (terminal and external system), or to control various service operations provided by each sub-component to an external device. can

However, although FIG. 2 shows a structure in which the hospital information system is centrally managed and operated by one integrated management unit, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is also possible for each subsystem to operate in a manner in which each subsystem is individually provided with a management control unit and a communication interface and is directly connected to an external terminal or other subsystems without a separate integrated management unit.

As described above, the hospital information system 10 according to the present embodiment includes, as subsystems of the server unit, the office system 130, the electronic medical record server 140, the examination room information system 150, and the medical image storage and transmission system ( 160), but is not limited thereto. In addition to this, it is also possible to use only some of the subsystems described above or to add medical computerization systems (eg, FIS, NIS, etc.) in other fields of work. In addition, it is also possible that each subsystem is configured as a single system to perform tasks in various fields, rather than configuring a separate system.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the detailed configuration of the messenger service unit of FIG. 2 . Hereinafter, the configuration of the messenger service unit will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 .

As described above, the messenger service unit 200 provides a messenger service through which a plurality of users can communicate using a message exchange method using a terminal. As shown in FIG. 2 , the messenger service unit 200 includes a message data transmission/reception unit 210, a control unit 220, and a message storage unit 230.

The message data transmitting and receiving unit 210 is a component that supports data transmission and reception between at least one terminal 20 on which a messenger program is installed and the messenger service unit 200 . The message input through the messenger window of the sender's terminal is provided to the message service unit through the data transceiver and transmitted to the receiver's terminal through the data transceiver 210 . In addition, the data transmission/reception unit 210 may transmit various requests input from the user terminal to the messenger service unit 200 and transmit various information provided by the messenger service unit 200 to the terminal.

The data transmission/reception unit 210 may be configured to transmit/receive data with a terminal through the aforementioned communication interface, and further transmit/receive data with other subsystems. The data transmission/reception unit 210 may transmit/receive data by being connected to a communication interface or a bus to other subsystems, or may be configured as a communication module capable of wired/wireless communication.

The messenger service controller 220 is a component that performs overall control of the messenger service unit, and is connected to the terminal 20 or the aforementioned integrated management unit 110 through the above-described data transceiver to perform various controls. Specifically, the messenger service control unit 220 performs operations such as user management, messenger channel management, data transmission/reception protocol control, etc. together with the messenger program of the terminal, thereby implementing various service operations including message transmission/reception between terminals. .

The messenger storage unit 230 stores a record of message transmission between users through a messenger, and includes at least one memory device. Accordingly, the communication history between members of the medical institution through the messenger can be automatically stored and managed as a record.

This messenger service is widely used because it allows a large number of users to communicate quickly at different locations within the hospital, and through this, the scope of use is expanding, such as delivery of instructions and business reports, as well as daily conversations. However, in the case of carrying out business through the messenger service, there is a possibility that the recipient may omit or overlook the delivery information through the messenger, and there is a disadvantage in that a formal process must be separately performed through the corresponding business system.

Accordingly, the messenger service unit 200 of the present embodiment analyzes messages transmitted and received through the messenger to extract work-related information, and automatically processes the information through the hospital information system according to the extracted information. To this end, the control unit 220 of the messenger service unit includes an analysis target message selection unit 221, a message analysis unit 222, a management target information extraction unit 223, and an information management unit 224.

The analysis target message selector 221 is a component that selectively extracts a message including management target information from among a plurality of messages transmitted and received through a messenger. Here, management target information refers to information that needs to be extracted from a message and separately managed through a hospital information system. For example, it may include information related to instructions from medical personnel, whether work processes have been completed in each department, or progress of a patient's hospital process.

The analysis target message selection unit 221 may be configured in various ways to select the analysis target message, and Table 1 below describes some examples of these methods.

division	method	example
Method 1	Message screening by sentence structure	Hong Gil-dong, please have an interview before the patient is discharged.
Method 2	Screening messages with specific symbols	%Please have Hong Gil-dong be interviewed before he is discharged from the hospital%
Method 3	Select messages with sender checked	Hong Gil-dong, patient, please have an interview before discharge ■

As an example, as in Method 1, a message to be analyzed may be determined based on a sentence structure of a transmitted/received message. For example, whether the message includes the patient's name (eg, 'Patient Gil-dong Hong') and includes information to be managed according to the message's ending structure (eg, 'please', 'report') Or, as in Method 2, if the user includes a specific symbol when composing a message among the transmitted and received messages (for example, the '%' symbol is included at the beginning and end of the sentence), the message is selected as the message to be analyzed. You can choose. Alternatively, as in Method 3, a checkbox that can be checked separately is provided on the messenger program of the terminal when a message is input, and the message creator can select a message checked in the checkbox as a target message for analysis.

Therefore, when the user wants to deliver work-related information through a messenger message, that is, when the information included in the message is automatically extracted and requested to be managed on the hospital information system, the user uses the promised sentence structure when composing the message A message can be created (Method 1), or a message can be written in a method that is requested by checking a predetermined symbol or a separate check box (Methods 2 and 3).

However, in addition to the above methods 1 to 3, it is also possible to configure the message to be analyzed in various ways, and in addition to this, the message to be analyzed is extracted through message text analysis using a machine learning algorithm regardless of the request and intention of the sender. It can also be configured to do so.

The message analyzer 222 is a component that analyzes the message of the selected analysis target. The message analyzer 222 may analyze information and intent included in a message, including an algorithm capable of performing natural language processing. At this time, the message analyzer 222 performs analysis in consideration of condition information such as sender information, receiver information, patient information, and participant information of the messenger room where the corresponding message was created, in addition to text information of the message. This conditional information can be used to analyze the semantic (content) information of the message, and can be used to determine the appropriateness of the message (for example, whether the information included in the message is suitable for managing on the hospital information system). can For example, if it is analyzed that the message was written by an unqualified sender, the patient included in the message cannot be identified, or the message was written in a messenger room in which the intended recipient did not participate, management target information is not extracted. and it can be judged that there is an error.

The management target information extraction unit 223 is a component that extracts management target information from the message analyzed by the message analysis unit 222 . The management target information extraction unit 223 extracts management target information from messages whose suitability is recognized in the above-described analysis process. And, based on the natural language processing result of the corresponding message, the type of extracted information (eg, information related to the medical staff's instruction, whether or not the patient's in-hospital process progress report, etc.) is determined. Management target information may have different types of managed data according to information types, and may be distributed/managed in different ways on the hospital information system. A data processing form and management policy according to the management target information type may be already set in the messenger control unit. Accordingly, the management target information extraction unit 223 may process/generate the extracted information into data in a suitable format according to the type of management target information.

The information management unit 224 controls the extracted management target information to be processed according to a preset management policy according to the type. For example, the information management unit 224 transmits the extracted management target information to the remote management system 130 through the data transmission/reception unit 210 and controls to update it, or informs the fact that an event has occurred through the notification service unit 300. You can control notifications.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of conversation contents on a messenger of a terminal, and FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating processing contents of management target information according to FIG. 4 . Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, an example in which information extracted from message contents of a messenger is managed on a hospital information system will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the doctor and the nurse in charge transmit and receive messages through a messenger program installed in each terminal 20 . Among them, it is a case in which the doctor in charge instructs a pre-discharge interview for a specific patient through a message.

In this case, the analysis target message selector 221 of the messenger service unit 200 selects an analysis target message from among a plurality of transmitted and received messages. Assuming that the method for distinguishing the message to be analyzed is based on Method 1 of Table 1, the message to be analyzed selector 221 determines that the message a1 sent by the doctor in charge includes information to be managed, This can be selected for analysis.

The message analyzer 222 analyzes the meaning of the selected message and determines the suitability of the message in consideration of sender, receiver, and patient information. Then, management target information is extracted from the corresponding message (a1). In the case of FIG. 4, the type of extracted information corresponds to 'patient's in-hospital business process addition instruction', and the management policy of that type is to transmit the extracted information to the hospital system 130 and add it to the 'order items for each patient' list. It may be set to add. Therefore, the information management unit 224 transmits the extracted information to the hospitalization system 130, and as shown in FIG. 5, an instruction (A) of 'consulting with a doctor before discharge' in the order information for each patient of the hospitalization system Can be controlled to add.

6 is a diagram illustrating another example of conversation contents on a messenger of a terminal. Compared to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 shows that the doctor in charge, the sender of the message to be analyzed, receives the message 'the order has been registered in the system' through the pop-up window (a3) of the messenger.

In this way, the information management unit 224 of the message service unit may control to transmit a message notifying that the management subject information extracted from the message transmitted by the sender has been normally processed. In this case, it is possible to improve the reliability of medical information management through automatic analysis by confirming the processing result of the extracted information to the sender.

However, if the sender writes a message expecting that it will be managed as management target information, but an error occurs due to message inappropriateness (for example, if an order instruction is entered in the wrong messenger room), the information management unit 224 also Instead of the message shown in Fig. 6, it is also possible to notify the sender by sending 'Order not registered in the system' or details about the specific cause of the error occurrence.

On the other hand, if the message to be analyzed (or the extracted information to be managed) is a message with a specified recipient, the information management unit 224 may process the extracted information after verifying whether the specified recipient has normally received the message. This is to prevent the order from being automatically reflected in the system when the designated recipient does not recognize the order information indicated through the message.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, the information management unit 224, when it is confirmed that the message containing the management target information has been normally received by the designated recipient through the answer (a2), proceeds with processing according to the management policy as shown in FIG. 5. You can control it.

If there is no answer (a2) from the designated recipient as shown in FIG. 4, the information management unit may notify the sender's terminal by sending a message such as 'receipt from the receiver has not been confirmed and has not been processed'. Alternatively, it is also possible to request confirmation by sending a message such as 'Please check that the order instruction has been received through the messenger' to the terminal of the designated receiver.

As described above, the messenger service unit 200 automatically analyzes and extracts work-related information among messages transmitted and received between terminals connected through a messenger program, and reflects and manages the information on the hospital information system. , It improves the convenience and efficiency of work-related communication within the hospital, and enables prompt and accurate work processing.

However, in FIG. 2 , the messenger service unit 200 is illustrated as a sub-component of the hospital information system 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the messenger service unit may be configured as a separate system separated from the hospital information system, but connected to a network, so that business information performed through the messenger service unit may be reflected in the hospital information system.

In addition, although FIG. 3 shows that the control unit of the messenger service unit 200 includes separate configurations of an analysis target message selection unit, a message analysis unit, a management target information extraction unit, and an information management unit, the present invention is limited thereto. it is not going to be Each configuration is divided around each step for message analysis and extracted information processing, and it is also possible to configure one control unit to sequentially implement each step.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of a notification service unit of FIG. 2 . As described above with reference to FIG. 2 , the notification service unit 300 notifies related members of relevant information when a predetermined event occurs on the hospital information system. The notification service unit 300 of this embodiment has a separate configuration from the messenger service unit 200 described above. However, it is also possible to configure the user terminal to simultaneously perform the messenger service and notification service by a single program.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the notification service unit 300 includes a data transmission/reception unit 310, a notification control unit 320, and a notification generation unit 330.

The notification data transmission/reception unit 310 is a component that supports data transmission/reception between the terminal 20 where the program is installed and the notification service unit 300, and between each subsystem of the hospital information system and the notification service unit 300. The occurrence of the event confirmed in each subsystem is transmitted to the notification service unit 300 through the data transceiver 310, and the notification message generated from the notification service unit 300 is transmitted through the data transceiver 310. It is transmitted to the terminal 20. Like the message data transmission/reception unit described above, the notification data transmission/reception unit 310 may be configured as a communication module capable of being connected to a bus or wired/wireless communication with each component.

The notification control unit 320 is a component that controls the overall operation of the notification service unit 300, and is connected to each terminal 20 and the integrated management unit 110 via the above-described data transceiver 310 to perform various controls. carry out Specifically, the notification control unit 320 performs operations such as management of notification targets for each event, control of additional actions of users according to notification messages, management of notification service channels, and control of data transmission/reception protocols. Accordingly, a preset notification policy is performed. A notification service based on is implemented.

The notification generator 330 is a component that generates notification content to be transmitted to related parties when providing a notification service. For example, the notification content may be composed of text notifying the occurrence of an event. However, in addition to this, various types of content may be provided so that the user can immediately check the event content through a message or proceed with an additional action through a notification message according to the content of the event.

Meanwhile, in FIGS. 4 to 6 described above, an example in which management target information extracted through a messenger service unit is stored and managed in a hospital information system has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, information to be managed of a specific type may be managed so that related persons are notified through a notification service.

Specifically, when a user transmits/receives content corresponding to an event occurrence through a message of a messenger program, the messenger service unit 200 extracts the occurrence of this event as management target information through automatic message analysis, and the notification service unit 300 ) is provided. In addition, the notification service unit 300 transmits the occurrence of the event provided from the messenger service unit 200 to a related person as a notification message. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, such an embodiment will be described in detail.

8 is a diagram illustrating another example of conversation contents on a messenger of a terminal, and FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a notification message of a notification service according to FIG. 8 .

As shown in FIG. 8 , when a radiologist notifies the completion of X-ray imaging of a patient through a message (b) through a messenger, the messenger service unit 200 determines that the message includes in-hospital process progress information of the patient. Upon determining that it is, management target information is extracted from the message. Here, the corresponding type of information corresponds to the occurrence of an event (for example, end of shooting), and the management policy is set, and the information management unit 224 of the messenger service unit transmits the extracted information to the notification service unit 300. . And, the notification generator 330 of the notification service unit generates notification content based on the extracted information.

In this case, in the case of a specific event, event occurrence information may be checked through a plurality of different paths. For example, in the case of an event related to the completion of X-ray imaging of a patient, the occurrence of the event can be confirmed through a message reporting the completion of imaging of the radiologist as shown in FIG. 8, and X-ray imaging data is updated in the inspection system server. It is also possible to check the occurrence of the corresponding event. Accordingly, the notification service unit 300 can control to generate notification content and transmit a notification message when the occurrence of an event from the messenger service and the occurrence of an event from the subsystem of the server unit are confirmed for a specific event.

At this time, when generating notification content, the notification generator 330 generates notification content using information extracted from the message and information stored in the server unit (in this embodiment, the examination system or the medical image storage and transmission system). can As shown in FIG. 9 , the notification message B for the completion of the X-ray examination may include a thumbnail using photographic data stored in the examination system. In addition, the corresponding notification message (B) may include link information through which the user can directly check the photographed result through the corresponding message. Therefore, the user can check the corresponding event occurrence information through a predetermined action (for example, selecting the 'Check' icon) by directly connecting the examination result inquiry window or the patient's electronic medical record window. As such, the notification generating unit 330 generates notification content by combining/processing corresponding event-related information included in the hospital information system, so that a related person can easily check the corresponding event information through a notification message.

However, in the above description, when an event can be confirmed through multiple paths (for example, a messenger and inspection system), a notification message is transmitted when confirmation is made through all paths. , but is not limited thereto. In addition to this, it is also possible to separately transmit Arim messages at a point in time when an event occurrence is confirmed through each path.

In addition, as another embodiment, when information about the occurrence of an event is transmitted from information extracted from the messenger service unit, the notification service unit 300 receives information related to the corresponding event from the server unit and generates notification content as shown in FIG. 9 It is also possible to do

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the doctor in charge transmits a message (c) requesting to proceed with manual treatment through a messenger, the messenger service unit 200 determines that the message (c) includes instruction information, extract that information. Corresponding information is managed according to a preset management policy, and specifically, managed to be added to the corresponding patient order list of the hospital administration system 130 (see FIG. 5 described above), and at the same time as a new event through the notification service unit 300. As shown in FIG. 9 , a notification message (C) for a corresponding instruction may be managed to be transmitted.

At this time, the notification message (C) for the instruction may be composed of notification content including a separate check box in addition to the text for the instruction. The check box indicates whether or not the processing of the instructions is completed, and is displayed as blank when the first notification message is displayed, and then displayed as a check mark when the corresponding instructions are processed. Here, whether or not the instructions are processed may be checked in various ways. For example, when a performer (eg, a physical therapist) reports the completion of treatment through a messenger, it may be confirmed by automatic analysis of the messenger service unit, or the processing updated to the server unit (eg, the telemedicine system). It is also possible to check based on completion information. Alternatively, the performer of the corresponding instruction is given the right to directly mark the check box on the notification message, and it is also possible to check it by directly displaying it during processing.

In this way, the notification service unit 300 may provide a notification service for event occurrence based on a message on the messenger program, and generate various types of notification contents to improve work convenience and efficiency according to the type of event that has occurred. Notification service is provided.

In FIG. 9, an example of a notification service for some events is shown, but other than this, notification services for various set event items such as inspection, arrival, action, process, order, result, and instructions are possible. At this time, the user of the terminal may select a notification event item through service setting, and configure only necessary notification messages to be displayed.

In addition, in FIG. 9, a notification room centered on a specific patient (eg, OOO patient) is shown as an example, but in addition to this, a notification service is provided through a notification room in which participating members are variously combined by treatment room, ward, and doctor. can do. In addition, it is also possible to configure the notification message to be transmitted individually by using an SMS message or a pop-up message, instead of sending the notification message through a notification room in which a large number of participants participate.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing medical information using a messenger according to an exemplary embodiment. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 10 , a medical information management method using a messenger according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

As described above, the messenger service unit 200 of the present embodiment automatically analyzes messenger contents exchanged between users in the hospital and automatically extracts information requiring management, and the extracted information is used as a management policy set in advance on the hospital information system. It is configured to be managed according to

To this end, first, the analysis target message selector 221 of the messenger service unit performs a step of selecting an analysis target message based on the structure of a sentence or a sender's request among transmitted and received messages (S10).

The message analyzer 222 analyzes the selected message (S20). In this step, the message analyzer 222 analyzes the meaning of the message using a natural language processing algorithm and analyzes message condition information such as sender information, receiver information, and patient information to analyze suitability of the corresponding message.

Then, the message analysis unit 222 determines whether the analysis result is normal (S30). As a result of the determination, if the corresponding message does not include management target information or does not satisfy the suitability condition, the information management unit 224 transmits an error message indicating that it is difficult to extract management target information to the sender (S31).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the analysis result is normal, the management target information extraction unit 223 performs a step of extracting management information (S40). And, if there is a processing condition in performing the management process of the extracted information according to a preset policy (eg, whether or not a message from a designated recipient is checked), it is determined whether the corresponding condition is satisfied (S50). If the processing condition is not satisfied, the information management unit 224 transmits a message notifying the sender that the extracted information has not been processed according to the management policy (S51). On the other hand, if the processing condition is satisfied, the information management unit controls the extracted information to be processed according to a management process according to a preset policy (S60).

The management policy may vary according to the type of extracted information. For example, the extracted information may be managed to be stored or updated in a related subsystem of the server unit. In addition, when the extracted information includes the occurrence of an event, it is also possible to manage to transmit a notification message about the occurrence of an event to a related person through a notification service unit.

And, when the extracted information is processed according to the management policy, it is also possible to transmit a message informing the sender that the processing has been completed (S70).

In this way, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically extract and manage important information such as work instructions and reports through a messenger on a hospital information system. Therefore, it is possible to prevent problems in which instructions may be overlooked or records may be omitted when performing work using the messenger, and work convenience and efficiency can be improved by using the messenger, which was used as an auxiliary in consideration of existing convenience, as a formal work process method. can

In addition, it is possible to implement a hospital information system capable of prompt and accurate business processing by operating a service that automatically extracts management target information through a messenger and a notification service in conjunction with each other.

The method for managing medical information using a messenger according to the present embodiment described above may be implemented in such a way that at least one processor provided in the present system controls various components of the system to perform each step.

In addition, the method for managing medical information using a messenger according to the present embodiment described above may be implemented as a program (including an application) to be combined/installed in an electronic device and executed. That is, it is possible to implement the aforementioned medical data management system and management method by installing and executing the program in an electronic device.
