Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The disclosure of this specification relates to a program, an information processing device, and an information processing method. [Background technology]

[0002] An electronic medical record system is a system that digitizes and centrally manages records (medical records) of medical examinations, prescriptions, etc., and is becoming increasingly popular in medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics. Such an electronic medical record system is described, for example, in Patent Document 1. In addition, since many medical images are handled in medical institutions, the introduction of medical image management systems with extensive functions for storing, viewing, managing, etc., of medical images is also becoming more common. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-032110 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In a medical institution, for example, a situation may arise where a doctor needs to view medical images of a patient while examining the patient and referring to the patient's electronic medical record.

[0005] However, because the system that manages electronic medical records and the system that manages medical images are separate systems, in order to deal with the above situation, it is necessary to manually input patient information (e.g., patient ID) displayed in the application of one system into the application of the other system. The task of manually inputting information that is already displayed leads to a waste of valuable consultation time, which is undesirable. In addition, it is desirable to avoid re-entering information in order to reduce the risk of data mix-up due to input errors, etc.

[0006] The above has been explained using an example of what happens during a medical examination, but situations in which it is necessary to re-enter information due to applications in multiple systems not coordinating with each other can occur in a variety of situations, not just during a medical examination.

[0007] In view of the above circumstances, an object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide an information processing technique that can easily display desired medical images in cooperation with an application of a system such as an electronic medical record system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A program according to one embodiment of the present invention is an application program of an image management system that manages medical images, and is a medical application different from the application of the image management system, and causes a computer to execute an image acquisition process that acquires the medical image of the patient identified by the identification information based on the patient identification information included in a notification from the medical application that displays patient information, and an image display process that displays the medical image of the patient identified by the acquired identification information on a display device.

[0009] An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention is an information processing device having an application program of an image management system that manages medical images installed therein, and is equipped with a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to perform an image acquisition process that acquires the medical image of a patient identified by identification information contained in a notification from the medical application, which is a medical application different from the application of the image management system and displays patient information, based on the patient identification information contained in the notification from the medical application, and an image display process that displays the medical image of the patient identified by the acquired identification information on a display device.

[0010] An information processing method according to one aspect of the present invention is an information processing method performed by an information processing device having installed therein an application program of an image management system that manages medical images, the information processing method including an image acquisition step of acquiring the medical image of a patient identified by identification information contained in a notification from the medical application, the medical application being different from the application of the image management system, based on the patient's identification information contained in the notification from the medical application that displays patient information, and an image display step of displaying the medical image of the patient identified by the acquired identification information on a display device. Effect of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A program, an information processing device, and an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of an application that operates in the information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the information processing system 1 will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 and 2.

[0015] The information processing system 1 is a system used in a medical institution or the like, and includes a client terminal 10, an electronic medical record server 20, and an image management server 30, as shown in FIG.

[0016] The client terminal 10 is an example of an information processing device of the present invention, which is operated directly by a doctor, etc. The client terminal 10 is an arbitrary information processing device, such as a general-purpose computer, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone.

[0017] The electronic medical record server 20 is a server that manages computerized medical record information (hereinafter, referred to as electronic medical records). The image management server 30 is a server that manages medical images. The medical images managed by the image management server 30 may include images acquired by various devices. For example, they may include skin images acquired by an imaging device with a dermoscopy, and may also include images acquired by a computed tomography (CT) device or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. Each image desirably includes, as metadata, identification information that identifies the patient who is the subject of the image, in addition to the date and time of capture.

[0018] The client terminal 10, the electronic medical record server 20, and the image management server 30 may exchange information with each other. These devices may be connected via the Internet, or may be located within a LAN at the same base.

[0019] The client terminal 10 and the electronic medical record server 20 constitute an electronic medical record system that handles medical record information (electronic medical record 2). A server application (electronic medical record server application 21) of the electronic medical record system runs on the electronic medical record server 20. Also, a client application (electronic medical record client application 11) of the electronic medical record system is installed on the client terminal 10. The electronic medical record client application 11 is an example of a medical application. The electronic medical record server application 21 is configured to provide the electronic medical record 2 to the electronic medical record client application 11 in response to a request from the electronic medical record client application 11. The electronic medical record client application 11 displays the electronic medical record 2 obtained from the electronic medical record server application 21 in an application screen displayed on the display of the client terminal 10.

[0020] The client terminal 10 and the image management server 30 constitute an image management system that handles medical images. A server application (image management server application 31) of the image management system runs on the image management server 30. Also, a client application (image management client application 12) of the image management system is installed on the client terminal 10. The image management server application 31 is configured to provide the medical image 3 to the image management client application 12 in response to a request from the image management client application 12. The image management client application 12 displays the medical image 3 acquired from the image management server application 31 on an application screen displayed on the display of the client terminal 10.

[0021] 3 shows an example of an image management application screen displayed on an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the application screen of the image management client application 12 will be described below with reference to FIG.

[0022] The application screen of the image management client application 12, like an application screen 41 shown in FIG. 3, has an area R1 for specifying search conditions and an area R2 for displaying search results.

[0023] A search window is provided in area R1. The patient ID and the imaging date and time entered in the search window are used as search conditions when searching for medical images. In other words, the information entered in the search window is notified as search conditions from the image management client application 12 to the image management server application 31, and the image management server application 31 searches for medical images based on the notified search conditions.

[0024] Area R2 displays a list of medical images searched for using the search criteria entered in the search window. More specifically, when a search is performed using the search criteria specified in area R1, the image management client application 12 creates a tab in area R2 that contains medical images that meet the specified search criteria, and displays the specified search criteria in the tab header. When the search is repeated, a new tab is added to area R2. The image management client application 12 can display medical images that meet the search criteria desired by the user by switching the active tab in response to the tab selection by the user. FIG. 3 shows the state in which the patient ID "00123" is displayed in the tab header H1 as a result of a search performed by specifying the patient ID "00123" as a search criterion.

[0025] As described above, a user can search for medical images using desired search criteria by inputting the search criteria into the search box of the image management client application 12, and the medical images obtained as a result can be viewed on the application screen 41.

[0026] However, as shown in Figure 2, when an electronic medical record client application 11 separate from the image management client application 12 is running on the client terminal 10, there may be cases where you want to search for medical images by specifying information on the electronic medical record client application 11 as a search condition for the image management client application 12.

[0027] In such a case, in the conventional technology, two operations are required for the image management client application 12: (1) launching the image management client application 12, and (2) referring to the information on the electronic medical record client application 11 and inputting search conditions into the search box of the image management client application 12.

[0028] In contrast, in the information processing system 1, the image management client application 12 is configured in advance to process notifications from the electronic medical record client application 11, so that a user can operate the electronic medical record client application 11 to cause the image management client application 12 to display the desired medical image.

[0029] 4 and 5 are sequence diagrams showing an example of application linkage processing performed in an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a continuation of the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 are other examples of screens of an image management application displayed on an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, application linkage between the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 will be described using an example in which a user (e.g., a doctor) of the client terminal 10 checks the electronic medical record of a first patient and then checks the medical images of that patient, and then checks the electronic medical record of a second patient and then checks the medical images of that patient, and finally ends the application.

[0030] In this case, it is assumed that the electronic medical record server application 21 and the image management server application 31 are already started on the servers (electronic medical record server 20, image management server 30), and that the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 are started by the user on the client terminal 10 as necessary.

[0031] First, in steps S101 to S107 in FIG. 4, the electronic medical record system displays the electronic medical record of the first patient with patient ID "00123" based on the user's operation.

[0032] When a user performs an operation on the client terminal 10 to launch the electronic medical record client application 11 (step S101), the control unit of the client terminal 10 executes the program of the electronic medical record client application 11 and launches the electronic medical record client application 11 (step S102).

[0033] Furthermore, when the user performs an operation to specify the first patient to the electronic medical record client application 11 in order to check the electronic medical record of the first patient with patient ID "00123," for example, by specifying the patient ID "00123" (step S103), the electronic medical record client application 11 requests the electronic medical record of the first patient from the electronic medical record server application 21 (step S104).

[0034] The electronic medical record server application 21 receives the request from the electronic medical record client application 11, searches for the electronic medical record of the first patient (patient ID "00123") (step S105), and then transmits the electronic medical record of the patient ID "00123" to the electronic medical record client application 11 (step S106). The electronic medical record client application 11, which has received the electronic medical record of the patient ID "00123" from the electronic medical record server application 21, displays the electronic medical record on the application screen (step S107).

[0035] Next, in steps S108 to S113 of FIG. 4, the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 work together based on the user's operation to display medical images of the first patient with patient ID “00123” on the image management client application 12.

[0036] When the user performs a specified operation on the electronic medical record client application 11 to notify the image management client application 12 of the patient ID of the first patient (step S108), the electronic medical record client application 11 sends a notification including the patient ID to the image management client application 12 (step S109).

[0037] The notification from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 in step S109 may include, but is not limited to, a command for executing the program of the image management client application 12, with the patient ID specified as a command line argument. Specifically, for example, it may be "program name of image management client application 12.exe / patentid=00123".

[0038] When the notification is sent, if the image management client application 12 is not running, the control unit of the client terminal 10 executes the command included in the notification to execute the program of the image management client application 12 and perform startup processing of the image management client application 12 (step S110). Then, during the startup processing or the processing that follows, the image management client application 12 requests medical images of the patient identified by the patient ID provided in the command line argument (startup argument) from the image management server application 31 (step S111).

[0039] Upon receiving the request from the image management client application 12, the image management server application 31 searches for medical images of the first patient (patient ID "00123") (step S112), and then transmits the medical images of patient ID "00123" to the image management client application 12 (step S113). Having received the medical images of patient ID "00123" from the image management server application 31, the image management client application 12 displays the medical images on the application screen 41 shown in Fig. 3 (step S114). The application screen 41 is an application screen in which a tab displaying the patient's identification information ("00123") in the header H1 is activated.

[0040] The process of step S111 and the process of receiving the medical image transmitted in step S113, both performed by the image management client application 12, are an example of an image acquisition process of acquiring medical images of a patient identified by identification information based on the patient identification information (patient ID) included in the notification from the electronic medical record client application 11. The process of step S114 performed by the image management client application 12 is an example of an image display process of displaying, on a display device, medical images of a patient identified by the acquired identification information.

[0041] Furthermore, the process of step S110 performed by the image management client application 12 is an example of a startup process of the image management client application 12 that is performed when a notification is sent before the startup of the image management client application 12. Therefore, the process of step S111 and the process of receiving the medical image sent in step S113 that are performed by the image management client application 12 are an example of an image acquisition process that is performed during or following the startup process, and the process of step S114 is an example of an image display process that is performed during or following the startup process.

[0042] In this way, in the information processing system 1 in which the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 work together, the image management client application 12 can be automatically started by operating the electronic medical record client application 11, and a desired medical image can be displayed on the application screen of the image management client application 12. In addition, since the notification from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 includes patient identification information (patient ID), it is possible to reliably display the desired medical image and prevent mistakes in medical images caused by input errors, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, in steps S121 to S125 in FIG. 5, the electronic medical record system displays the electronic medical record of the second patient with patient ID "00254" based on the user's operation.

[0044] When a user performs an operation to specify a second patient in the electronic medical record client application 11 in order to check the electronic medical record of a second patient with patient ID "00254", for example, by specifying patient ID "00254" (step S121), the electronic medical record client application 11 requests the electronic medical record of the second patient from the electronic medical record server application 21 (step S122).

[0045] The electronic medical record server application 21, upon receiving the request from the electronic medical record client application 11, searches for the electronic medical record of the second patient (patient ID "00254") (step S123), and then transmits the electronic medical record of the patient ID "00254" to the electronic medical record client application 11 (step S124). The electronic medical record client application 11, which has received the electronic medical record of the patient ID "00254" from the electronic medical record server application 21, displays the electronic medical record on the application screen (step S125).

[0046] Next, in steps S126 to S133 of FIG. 5, based on the user's operation, the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 work together to display medical images of the second patient with patient ID “00254” on the image management client application 12.

[0047] When the user performs a specified operation on the electronic medical record client application 11 to notify the image management client application 12 of the patient ID of the second patient (step S126), the electronic medical record client application 11 sends a notification including the patient ID to the image management client application 12 (step S127).

[0048] The notification from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 in step S127 is the same as that in step S109, except for the value of the patient ID.

[0049] When a notification is sent from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12, if the image management client application 12 is running, the start-up process of the image management client application 12 is not performed. Instead, the already running image management client application 12 updates the application screen and displays options related to the notification on the image management client application 12 (step S128). Specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 6, the image management client application 12 displays on the application screen 42 an option display SL for whether or not to display the medical image of the patient ID notified from the electronic medical record client application 11, together with a message M1 explaining the option.

[0050] Thereafter, when the user performs an operation to select "Yes" in the option display SL, that is, a selection of execution (execution selection operation) (step S129), the image management client application 12 detects the selection and requests the medical images of the patient identified by the patient ID given in the command line argument (start-up argument) in step S127 from the image management server application 31 (step S130). Note that when the user performs an operation to select "No" in the option display SL, that is, a selection of not executing, the message M1 and option display SL disappear from the application screen 42, and the screen is updated to the screen before the notification was received, that is, the application screen 41.

[0051] Upon receiving the request from the image management client application 12, the image management server application 31 searches for medical images of the second patient (patient ID "00254") (step S131), and then transmits the medical images of the patient ID "00254" to the image management client application 12 (step S132). The image management client application 12, which has received the medical images of the patient ID "00254" from the image management server application 31, displays the medical images on the application screen 43 shown in FIG. 7 (step S133). Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the image management client application 12 newly generates a tab including the medical images of the patient ID "00254" and activates the newly created tab to display the medical images of the patient ID "00254" on the application screen 43. At this time, the patient ID "00254" is displayed in the header H2 of the tab.

[0052] The process of step S128 performed by the image management client application 12 is an example of an option display process that displays on a display device options for whether or not to execute image acquisition processing and image display processing, which is performed when a notification is sent after the start of the image management client application 12. The process of step S130 performed by the image management client application 12 and the process of receiving the medical images sent in step S132 are an example of an image acquisition process that is performed when selection of execution of the options is detected after the option display process, and the process of step S133 is an example of an image display process that is performed when selection of execution of the options is detected after the option display process.

[0053] In this way, in the information processing system 1 in which the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 cooperate with each other, a desired medical image can be displayed on the application screen of the image management client application 12 that is already running by operating the electronic medical record client application 11. Also, by providing an opportunity to select whether or not to display a medical image before displaying it on the application screen of the image management client application 12, it is possible to differentiate the operation timing on the electronic medical record client application 11 from the display timing on the image management client application 12, and the medical image can be displayed on the image management client application 12 at a timing desired by the user. Also, by creating a new activated tab on the application screen and displaying the medical image in that tab, the latest search results can be displayed on the application screen, and medical images previously searched for under different search conditions can also be continuously displayed by switching tabs.

[0054] Next, in steps S134 to S136 in FIG. 5, the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 cooperate with each other based on the user's operation to terminate the display of the medical image on the image management client application 12.

[0055] When the user performs a specified operation on the electronic medical record client application 11 to end the display of the medical image being displayed on the image management client application 12 (step S134), the electronic medical record client application 11 sends a notification to the image management client application 12 (step S135).

[0056] The notification from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 in step S135 is not particularly limited, but may include a command for executing the program of the image management client application 12 and may instruct the closing of tabs as a command line argument. Specifically, for example, it may be "program name of image management client application 12.exe / date=closealltabs".

[0057] When a notification is sent from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12, the image management client application 12 detects an instruction to close the tabs based on the command line arguments and executes a process to close all the tabs that configure the application screen (step S136). As a result, the application screen is updated from the application screen 43 shown in Fig. 7 to the application screen 44 without tabs shown in Fig. 8.

[0058] The processing of step S136 performed by the image management client application 12 is an example of processing to close all tabs that make up the application screen of the image management client application 12 based on information instructing the user to close the tabs contained in the notification sent from the electronic medical record client application 11.

[0059] In this way, in the information processing system 1 in which the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 work together, it is possible to close a tab that is already displayed on the application screen of the image management client application 12, that is, to end the display of medical images, by operating the electronic medical record client application 11. This makes it possible to avoid, for example, mistakes in medical images that occur when medical images of a patient whose examination has been completed are displayed in the image management client application 12.

[0060] 9 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of a computer that realizes an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, a computer 100 that realizes a client terminal 10 that is an information processing device includes a processor 101, a memory 102, an input interface 103, an output interface 104, and a communication interface 105.

[0061] The processor 101 is a control unit of the client terminal 10, and may be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphics processing unit (GPU), although there is no particular limitation thereto. The processor may also include a hardware circuit such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

[0062] The memory 102 is not particularly limited, and may be a semiconductor memory such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), or a solid state drive (SSD), or may be a magnetic storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD), or may be an optical storage device. The memory 102 stores a program 102a and various data 102b for realizing the cooperation between the electronic medical record client application 11 and the image management client application 12 described above. The program 102a includes, for example, the program of the electronic medical record client application 11 and the program of the image management client application 12.

[0063] The input interface 103 is connected to a touch panel, a keyboard, and the like. The input interface 103 may also be connected to a voice input device such as a microphone. The output interface 104 is connected to a display device, and the like. The display device may be a display device included in the client terminal 10. The communication interface 105 exchanges data with the electronic medical record server 20 and the image management server 30, for example, via a network.

[0064] The above-mentioned embodiment shows a specific example to facilitate understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and should be understood as including various modified forms and alternative forms of the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, it will be understood that the above-mentioned embodiment can be embodied by modifying the components within the scope of the gist. It will also be understood that various embodiments can be implemented by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment. Furthermore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various embodiments can be implemented by deleting some components from all the components shown in the embodiment, or by adding some components to the components shown in the embodiment. That is, the above-mentioned information processing program, information processing method, and information processing device can be variously modified and changed within the scope of the claims.

[0065] In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the notification sent from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 includes only one patient ID, but multiple patient IDs may be included. Specifically, for example, "program name of image management client application 12.exe / patentid=00123 / patentid=254 / ...". The image management client application 12 may generate multiple tabs on the application screen corresponding to each of the multiple patient IDs included in the notification, and activate and display one of them. Each tab includes medical images of patients identified by the respective patient IDs. This allows medical images of many patients to be searched for at once and displayed on the image management client application 12.

[0066] In the above embodiment, an example of searching for medical images by patient ID has been shown, but the search condition is not limited to the patient ID. The notification sent from the electronic medical record client application 11 to the image management client application 12 may include the imaging date. Specifically, for example, "program name of image management client application 12.exe / date=yyyymmdd". The image management client application 12 that receives the notification may request medical images captured on the imaging date from the image management server application 31 and display the acquired medical images. The notification may also include both the patient ID and the imaging date, and the image management client application 12 may display medical images searched for using both the patient ID and the imaging date as search conditions.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the client application and the server application are installed on different devices, but the client application and the server application may be installed on the same device. For example, the image management server application 31 may be installed in addition to the image management client application 12 on the client terminal 10, the client terminal 10 may operate as the image management server 30, and the client terminal 10 may perform a search process to search for medical images of a patient ID notified from the electronic medical record client application 11.

[0068] In addition, the electronic medical record server application 21 and the image management server application 31 may each be a general-purpose database server application, or the electronic medical record server application 21 and the image management server application 31 may be the same application.
