Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The technology disclosed herein relates to a management server, a management system, and a method for managing vaccinations. [Background technology]

[0002] Regarding vaccination, various technologies using computer systems have been proposed in the past to enable more efficient management of vaccination reservations, payment of vaccination fees, confirmation of vaccination history, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 listed below proposes a system that can generate a vaccination schedule and can confirm that the vaccine to be administered is eligible for subsidies on the vaccination date. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-71826 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] It is generally recommended that people traveling abroad receive the appropriate vaccine according to the infectious disease situation in their destination. Such vaccinations for prevention at the destination are also called "travel vaccinations" or "traveler's vaccinations." Companies and other organizations may have agreements to cover part or all of the costs of travel vaccinations for their employees traveling abroad, as well as the associated medical procedures such as tests and diagnoses.

[0005] However, such agreements usually cover a wide range of areas, such as by type of vaccine or by destination, and the details vary from organization to organization. For this reason, it is not easy for medical institutions to determine the organization's share of the vaccination costs and the members' share and perform accounting procedures accordingly.

[0006] In addition, if the member is required to pay the organization's share as well as his / her own share at the time of settlement at the medical institution, the member may bear a temporary large economic burden due to the advance payment. For the organization, the subsequent procedures for settling the advance payment may become complicated or delayed, which may hinder smooth accounting for vaccinations.

[0007] These issues are not limited to travel vaccines. Depending on the infectious disease situation in the country, even people who have no plans to travel may be required to get vaccinated by their organization, and the organization may cover part or all of the cost. In this way, the issues mentioned above are not limited to travel vaccines, but are common to vaccinations in general.

[0008] The present application aims to provide technology that can facilitate management of vaccination costs even when costs are borne by an organization, and that can more efficiently manage vaccination. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The technology of the present disclosure can be realized in the following forms.

[0010] [First embodiment] The first embodiment of the technology disclosed herein is provided as a management server that is connected to a database and configures a management system that manages vaccination of users including members of a registered organization using information stored in the database. The management server of the first embodiment includes a communication control unit that executes communication with a terminal of the registered organization, a terminal of the user, and a terminal of a medical institution through a network, an information management unit that manages on the database vaccine information related to the vaccine, user information related to the user, organization information related to the registered organization, medical institution information related to the medical institution, and cost information used to calculate the vaccination cost for the user at the medical institution, and an accounting processing unit that executes accounting processing of the vaccination cost. The organizational information includes cost burden information indicating the setting of the cost share to be borne by the registered organization with respect to the vaccination cost of the member, and when processing the accounting for the member, the accounting processing unit calculates the personal cost to be borne by the member himself and the organizational cost to be borne by the registered organization with respect to the vaccination cost of the member based on the cost information and the cost burden information, and transmits billing information indicating the personal cost to a terminal of the medical institution via the network, and transmits billing information indicating the organizational cost to a terminal of the registered organization. According to the management server of the first embodiment, the registered organization's share of the cost of vaccination and the member's share of the cost can be easily calculated based on information managed in a database. In addition, the medical institution can directly bill the member for the calculated member's share of the cost as a personal expense, and the management system can bill the registered organization for the registered organization as an organization's expense. This eliminates the need for the member to pay the registered organization's share of the cost on behalf of the member, and the registered organization does not have to perform accounting procedures for the advance payment, which can facilitate accounting procedures for vaccination. Thus, according to the management server of the first embodiment, it is easy to build a management system that can efficiently manage vaccination.

[0011] [Second Mode] In the management server of the first mode, the accounting processing unit may add up the organization expenses incurred for each member within a predetermined period and bill the registered organization in a lump sum. According to the second form of management server, the registered organization can process each member's share of the vaccination costs in a lump sum, thereby making accounting for vaccination at the registered organization even smoother.

[0012] [Third Form] In the management server described in the first or second form above, the information management unit may accept the selection of the type of vaccine to be administered by the user and the user's specification of the vaccination date and time for each type of vaccine via the medical institution's terminal, register the same as reservation information for each user in the database, and make it viewable from the medical institution's terminal and the user's terminal. According to the management server of the third embodiment, users of the management system and medical institutions can easily make and confirm vaccination reservations for each user. This makes it possible to more efficiently manage vaccination reservations.

[0013] [Fourth Form] In the management server described in the third form above, the information management unit may register in the database vaccine set information, which summarizes the types of vaccines that the members should receive when traveling abroad by destination country, by linking it to the registered organization. According to the fourth form of management server, by allowing medical institutions to refer to vaccine set information through their own terminals, it becomes easier for members to be vaccinated with the vaccines that the registered organization has determined should be administered when traveling.

[0014] [Fifth Form] In the management server described in the third or fourth form above, the vaccine information includes vaccination restriction information indicating a restriction period during which vaccination should be avoided that is predetermined for each type of vaccine, and the information management unit may determine candidate vaccination dates and times for each type of vaccine that reflect the restriction period in the vaccination restriction information when the user selects the type of vaccine to be administered via the medical institution's terminal. According to the management server of the fifth aspect, when vaccination is administered multiple times, it becomes easier to make reservations according to an appropriate schedule for administering vaccinations at intervals equivalent to the restricted period.

[0015] [Sixth Form] In the management server described in any of the third, fourth or fifth forms above, the information management unit may send an email to a terminal of a user whose vaccination time is approaching based on the reservation information, notifying the user of the arrival of the vaccination time. According to the management server of the sixth aspect, it is possible to prevent users from forgetting to make a reservation for vaccination, and it is possible to further improve the manageability of vaccination by the management system.

[0016] [7th Form] In the management server described in any of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th forms above, the information management unit may manage vaccination history information indicating the history of the user receiving the vaccine for each user in the database, and may allow the user's terminal to access the user's own vaccination history information, and may allow the registered organization's terminal to access the vaccination history information of its members. According to the seventh embodiment of the management server, users can easily check their own vaccination history. Also, registered organizations can easily check the vaccination history of their members. Therefore, the management of vaccinations by the management system can be further improved.

[0017] [Eighth Form] In the management server described in the seventh form above, the information management unit has a function of generating electronic data of a vaccination record certificate certifying the vaccination of the vaccine based on the vaccination history information, and may transmit the electronic data of the vaccination record certificate of the user to the user's terminal in response to a request from the user via the user's terminal. According to the management server of the eighth aspect, the user can more easily obtain the vaccination record certificate, thereby further improving the convenience for the user regarding the management of vaccination.

[0018] [Ninth aspect] The ninth aspect is provided as a management system for managing vaccination of a user. The management system of the ninth aspect may include a management server according to any one of the first to eighth aspects and the database to which the management server is connected. According to the ninth form of the management system, accounting for the cost of vaccination shared by registered organizations and their members can be more easily carried out, making it possible to manage vaccination more efficiently.

[0019] [Tenth Mode] The tenth mode is provided as a method executed in a management system that manages vaccination at a medical institution for users including members of a registered organization using information stored in a database. In the method of the tenth mode, the database stores vaccine information on the vaccine, organization information on the registered organization, user information on the user, medical institution information on the medical institution, and cost information used to calculate the vaccination cost for the user's vaccination at the medical institution, and the organization information includes cost sharing information indicating a setting of the cost sharing borne by the registered organization for the vaccination cost of the member, and the computer of the management system calculates the individual cost borne by the member and the organizational cost borne by the registered organization for the vaccination cost of the member at the medical institution based on the cost information and the cost sharing information, the computer of the management system transmits billing information indicating the individual cost to a terminal of the medical institution, and the management system transmits billing information indicating the organizational cost to a terminal of the registered organization. According to the method of the tenth aspect, the cost of vaccination can be easily calculated based on the information managed in the database, which includes the registered organization's share of the cost and the member's share of the cost. The calculated member's share of the cost can be directly billed to the member by the medical institution as a personal expense, and the registered organization's share of the cost can be billed to the registered organization by the management system as an organization's expense. This eliminates the need for the member to pay the registered organization's share of the cost on behalf of the registered organization, and the registered organization does not need to perform accounting procedures for the advance payment, which facilitates accounting procedures for vaccination.

[0020] The technology disclosed herein can be realized in various forms other than a management server, a management system, and a method for managing vaccination, for example, a database used in the management system, a control method for the management system executed on the management server, a method for managing a database, a program executed on the management server, a storage medium on which the program is recorded, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 11] FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a management system according to a second embodiment.

[0022] 1. First embodiment: 1-1.System configuration: 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a management system 10 in the first embodiment. The management system 10 includes a management server 20 constituting the management system 10, and a database 30 connected to the management server 20.

[0023] In the management system 10, the management server 20 executes a process for managing vaccination of a user US who has completed a registration procedure in advance, using information stored in the database 30. "Vaccine vaccination management" includes, for example, management of information related to vaccines, management of vaccination procedures such as vaccination reservations and payment of vaccination fees, management of vaccination history information, etc.

[0024] The management server 20 is configured by a computer having a central processing unit (CPU) and a main memory device (RAM). For convenience, the CPU and RAM are omitted from FIG. 1. The management server 20 has a control unit 21 that executes a management process for managing vaccinations. The control unit 21 is configured by various functional units that are realized by the CPU of the management server 20 reading and executing commands and programs prepared in advance on the RAM. The various functional units that configure the control unit 21 and the contents of the management process executed by the control unit 21 will be described later.

[0025] The management server 20 has a communication control unit 22 that connects to the network NT and controls communication with the outside under the control of the control unit 21. In the management process executed by the control unit 21, the management server 20 communicates with the terminals of the users US, the terminals of the registered organizations RO, and the terminals of the medical institutions MI through the network NT, and provides various services for managing vaccinations.

[0026] In this embodiment, the network NT is the Internet, and the management server 20 provides a process for managing vaccination as a WEB service to each of the terminals of the user US, the terminals of the registered organization RO, and the terminals of the medical institution MI. The management server 20 may be configured as a cloud server.

[0027] As described above, a user US in the management system 10 is an individual who has previously completed the registration procedure for using the management system 10. A registered organization RO is an organization that has previously completed the registration procedure for using the management system 10. Registered organizations RO include, for example, various corporations such as general companies and public interest corporations, and various organizations such as profit-making organizations and non-profit organizations.

[0028] The medical institution MI is a hospital or clinic that is registered in advance in the management system 10 and is capable of administering a vaccination to the user US. In this specification, "registration" in the management system 10 means that the right to access the management system 10 is granted, and may be interpreted as, for example, that a unique account is set in the management system 10 and that login is possible.

[0029] The users US of the management system 10 include members UM who belong to the registered organization RO. In other words, the members UM of the registered organization RO can receive services provided by the management system 10 as users US by individually registering for use. In the management system 10, the users US who are members UM are registered in association with the registered organization RO to which they belong.

[0030] Each terminal of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI is not particularly limited as long as it is a device having a function capable of communicating with the management system 10 through the network NT, a function capable of displaying received information, and a function capable of inputting information to be transmitted to the management system 10. Each terminal may be configured, for example, as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like.

[0031] The database 30 is constructed using a large-capacity storage device that stores information in a nonvolatile manner. "Storing information in a nonvolatile manner" means storing information not temporarily but in a manner that allows the information to be retained even after power is turned off. The database 30 is constructed using, for example, a hard disk (HD) or a solid-state disk (SSD).

[0032] In this embodiment, the database 30 is connected to the network NT via the management server 20. The terminals of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI can access the information in the database 30 under the management of the management server 20. Note that in other embodiments, the database 30 may be directly connected to the network NT and connected to the management server 20 through the network NT. In this case, the database 30 may be configured as a cloud-type database managed by the management server 20.

[0033] The database 30 stores vaccine information 31, which is information about vaccines, user information 32, which is information about users US, organization information 33, which is information about registered organizations RO, and medical institution information 34, which is information about medical institutions MI. In this embodiment, the database 30 also stores destination information 35, which is information used for vaccination of users US who plan to travel overseas. Each piece of information 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 on the database 30 will be described later.

[0034] 1-2.Control section configuration: 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control unit 21 of the management server 20. The control unit 21 has an information management unit 23, an accounting processing unit 25, and an interface management unit 27 as functional units for executing management processing.

[0035] The information management unit 23 manages the information in the database 30 described above. Based on information received from each terminal of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI, the information management unit 23 performs processes such as registration, addition, update, change, and deletion on the information in the database 30. The information management unit 23 also performs processes to enable each terminal of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI to access the information in the database 30. Here, "access" includes actions such as viewing information as well as inputting and editing information.

[0036] The information management unit 23 further executes processing to provide services related to the vaccination procedure of the user US, using the information in the database 30. The information management unit 23 executes, for example, processing for making a reservation with a medical institution MI, processing for managing the reservation, processing for managing the vaccination history of the user US, and the like.

[0037] The accounting processing unit 25 executes accounting for the vaccination costs incurred by the medical institution MI. The "vaccination costs incurred by the vaccination" includes the cost of the vaccination itself and the costs of medical procedures such as tests and examinations that accompany the vaccination. The accounting processing unit 25 executes accounting based on the information in the database 30. Details of the processes executed by the information management unit 23 and the accounting processing unit 25 in the management process will be described later.

[0038] The interface management unit 27 executes a process of displaying an interface screen of the management system 10 on each terminal of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI. In this embodiment, the interface screen is displayed by the browser software of each terminal. The interface management unit 27 generates data for the browser software to generate a WEB page representing the interface screen and transmits the data to each terminal. Information input through the interface screen is transmitted to the management server 20.

[0039] 1-3.Database information: The contents of the information managed on the database 30 in the management system 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 7 in this order.

[0040] 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the contents of vaccine information 31. Vaccine information 31 includes, for example, type information 31a, manufacturer information 31b, history information 31c, vaccination cost information 31d, vaccination restriction information 31e, and stock information 31f. Manufacturer information 31b, history information 31c, vaccination cost information 31d, vaccination restriction information 31e, and stock information 31f are linked to type information 31a.

[0041] The type information 31a is information for identifying the type of vaccine, and includes, for example, the name and identification number of the vaccine. The manufacturer information 31b is information indicating the manufacturer of the vaccine. The history information 31c is information indicating the history of the vaccine, and includes, for example, information on whether the vaccine is domestically produced or from which overseas country it was imported. The vaccination cost information 31d is an example of cost information indicating the cost of vaccination, and is information indicating the cost of each type of vaccine for vaccination. This cost may include, for example, the price of the vaccine and a fee for vaccination at the medical institution MI.

[0042] In this embodiment, the vaccination cost information 31d is registered as common information for each medical institution MI. Therefore, for the user UR and the registered organization RO, the price of the vaccine is prevented from becoming uneven depending on the selected medical institution ¥, and it is easy to check the vaccination cost accounting.

[0043] The vaccination restriction information 31e indicates a restriction period during which vaccination should be avoided, which is predetermined for each type of vaccine. When the same type of vaccine needs to be administered in multiple doses, the restriction period means the time interval that should be set between each vaccination of the same type of vaccine. When different types of vaccines need to be administered on different days, the restriction period means the time interval that should be set between each vaccination of the vaccine, which is determined by the combination of the types of vaccine. In addition, the restriction period may include a period determined according to the current health condition and medical history of the user US who will be vaccinated.

[0044] The restriction period may be determined for each medical institution MI based on its own criteria. Therefore, in this embodiment, the vaccination restriction information 31e is stored in the database 30 as information for each medical institution MI linked to the medical institution MI. This allows the management system 10 to handle different vaccination criteria for each medical institution MI.

[0045] The inventory information 31f is information indicating the stock quantity of each type of vaccine. The inventory information 31f is information for each medical institution MI linked to the medical institution MI. The inventory information 31f is updated periodically through the terminal of each medical institution MI. The inventory information 31f is referenced when a user US makes a reservation for vaccination. The management system 10 may have a function of notifying the medical institution MI when it detects, based on the inventory information 31f, that the stock is less than a specified number.

[0046] 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining the contents of the user information 32. The user information 32 is information for each user US that is uniquely linked to the user US. The user information 32 includes, for example, personal information 32a, affiliation information 32b, reservation information 32c, vaccination history information 32d, and personal accounting information 32e.

[0047] The personal information 32a is information that enables the user US to be personally identified in the management system 10, and includes, for example, unique information such as the user US's account information and identification number issued at the time of registration. The account information includes the email address designated by the user US as a contact point, the account name, and the login password.

[0048] The personal information 32a further includes profile information such as the name and address of the user US. In addition, the personal information 32a may include information indicating the medical history of the user US, other health information, travel experience, etc.

[0049] The affiliation information 32b indicates the affiliation of the user US, such as the place of work. In the affiliation information 32b of the user US who is a member UM of the registered organization RO, the registered organization RO is set as the affiliation. In this way, the user US who is a member UM is linked to the registered organization RO to which he or she belongs.

[0050] The reservation information 32c indicates the reservation details of the user US for a pre-interview, which will be described later, and the reservation details of the user US for a vaccination. The reservation information 32c is generated by the information management unit 23 based on information input through a terminal of the medical institution MI in a reservation process, which will be described later, and is registered in the database 30. In the management system 10, the reservation information 32c is managed so that it can be viewed at least from each terminal of the user US and the medical institution MI.

[0051] The reservation information 32c includes, for example, the type of vaccine for which the user US has made a reservation for vaccination, the reservation date and time for each type of vaccine, and information on the medical institution MI for which the reservation for vaccination has been made. The reservation information 32c may also include settings for a reminder process for the vaccination reservation, which will be described later. The settings for the reminder process include, for example, a setting for whether or not to execute the reminder process, and a setting for the timing of sending an email in the reminder process.

[0052] The vaccination history information 32d indicates the vaccination history of the user US. The vaccination history information 32d includes, for example, information such as the type of vaccine administered, the vaccination date and time, and the medical institution where the vaccination was administered. In the management system 10, the vaccination history information 32d is managed so that it can be viewed from each terminal of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the information management unit 23 uses the vaccination history information 32d to generate and issue electronic data of a vaccination record certificate.

[0053] The personal accounting information 32e is information related to the accounting of the vaccination costs incurred by the user US. The personal accounting information 32e records the amount of the vaccination cost billed to the user US by the medical institution MI along with the date and time of vaccination. If the user US is a member UM of a registered organization RO, the personal portion of the vaccination cost, described below, is recorded as the billed amount. The personal accounting information 32e also records whether or not payment by the user US has been completed.

[0054] In the management system 10, the personal accounting information 32e is managed so as to be accessible from at least the terminals of the users US and the medical institutions MI. The personal accounting information 32e of the members UM may also be managed so as to be accessible from terminals of the registered organizations RO.

[0055] 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the contents of organization information 33. Organization information 33 is information for each registered organization RO that is uniquely linked to the registered organization RO. Organization information 33 includes, for example, organization specific information 33a, vaccine set information 33b, cost sharing information 33c, and organization accounting information 33d.

[0056] The organization unique information 33a is information that enables the registered organization RO to be identified in the management system 10, and includes, for example, unique information such as account information and an identification number of the registered organization RO issued at the time of registration. The account information includes an email address, account name, login password, etc. of the terminal of the registered organization RO.

[0057] The organization specific information 33a includes profile information of the registered organization RO, such as the name, address, and name of the representative. The organization information 33 may include information indicating the type of organization to which the registered organization RO belongs, such as a general company, a foundation, or a public organization.

[0058] The vaccine set information 33b is information that summarizes the types of vaccines that members UM of the registered organization RO should receive when traveling abroad, by destination country. The vaccine set information 33b can be set arbitrarily by the registered organization RO through a terminal. The vaccine set information 33b set through the terminal of the registered organization RO is linked to the registered organization RO by the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 and registered in the database 30. As will be described in detail later, the vaccine set information 33b is referenced through the terminal of the medical institution MI when a member UM makes a reservation for a travel vaccine at the medical institution MI.

[0059] The cost sharing information 33c indicates the setting of the cost sharing borne by the registered organization RO with respect to the vaccination cost of the member UM. The cost sharing information 33c can be set arbitrarily by the registered organization RO through its own terminal. The cost sharing information 33c set through the terminal of the registered organization RO is registered in the database 30 by the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 in association with the registered organization RO.

[0060] The cost sharing information 33c sets the items and scope of the cost for which the registered organization RO will cover the vaccination costs of the member UM. The "cost sharing items" set include, for example, the types of vaccines for which the registered organization RO will cover the vaccination costs, and items of medical services such as tests and examinations that accompany vaccination. The "scope of cost sharing" set includes, for example, whether or not the family of the member UM will be covered.

[0061] In the management system 10, after the vaccination of the member UM at the medical institution MI, the accounting processing unit 25 of the management server 20 refers to the cost sharing information 33c of the registered organization RO. Then, based on the cost sharing information 33c, the accounting processing unit 25 calculates the individual cost to be borne by the member UM himself and the organizational cost to be borne by the registered organization RO. Details of the accounting process by the accounting processing unit 25 will be described later.

[0062] The organizational accounting information 33d is information related to the accounting of the costs incurred in vaccinating the member UM. The organizational accounting information 33d records the amount of the vaccination fee billed by the medical institution MI to the registered organization RO, along with information on the member UM who received the vaccination and the date and time of the vaccination. The amount billed by the medical institution MI to the registered organization RO corresponds to the organizational expenses mentioned above. The organizational accounting information 33d records whether or not payment of the billed amount by the registered organization RO has been completed.

[0063] 6 is a schematic diagram for explaining the contents of the medical institution information 34. The medical institution information 34 is information for each medical institution MI that is uniquely linked to the medical institution MI. The medical institution information 34 includes, for example, medical institution specific information 34a, schedule information 34b, and medical cost information 34c.

[0064] The medical institution specific information 34a is information that enables the medical institution MI to be identified in the management system 10, and includes, for example, unique information such as account information and an identification number of the medical institution MI. The account information includes an email address, account name, login password, etc. of the terminal of the medical institution MI. The medical institution specific information 34a includes profile information such as the name and address of the medical institution MI. The profile information of the medical institution MI may include the medical institution MI's field of expertise, the medical procedures that can be performed, the medical institution's consultation hours, information on the doctors affiliated with the institution, etc.

[0065] The schedule information 34b is used when the user US makes a reservation at the medical institution MI. The schedule information 34b includes information indicating the date and time when the medical institution MI can accept reservations from the user US. Reservations made by the user US include, for example, reservations for pre-vaccination interviews, reservations for vaccination, and reservations for receiving other medical procedures such as tests. The schedule information 34b is periodically updated via a terminal at the medical institution MI.

[0066] The medical expense information 34c is an example of expense information showing the cost of vaccination. The medical expense information 34c summarizes information showing the fees for medical services such as tests and examinations at the medical institution MI. The medical expense information 34c is referenced by the accounting processing unit 25 of the management server 20 when calculating the costs of medical services other than vaccination during accounting processing.

[0067] 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the contents of the destination information 35. The destination information 35 is information on each country to which the user US is traveling. This information is prepared for the purpose of providing it to the user US and the medical institution MI, and is managed in the management system 10 so that it can be referenced through each terminal of the user US and the medical institution MI.

[0068] The destination information 35 includes, for example, country information 35a, recommended vaccine information 35b, and medical information 35c. The country information 35a is information that enables the management system 10 to identify the destination country, and includes, for example, the country name and a country code unique to each country. The recommended vaccine information 35b is information that is preset for each country, and indicates the type of vaccine that is recommended to be administered when traveling to that country.

[0069] The medical information 35c is information about the current medical situation in each destination country. The medical information 35c includes, for example, information about the current infectious disease situation in the country. The medical information 35c may be information including a link to a website that compiles information about medical care in various foreign countries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, so that information can be obtained from the website.

[0070] 1-4. How to manage vaccinations in the management system: Figures 8 and 9 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the method of managing vaccination executed by the management system 10. Figures 8 and 9 show, in parallel, flow charts showing the processing procedures in the management system 10, the user US, the registration organization RO, and the medical institution MI when the user US receives a vaccination. Figure 8 shows the processing up until the user US receives a vaccination, and Figure 9 shows the processing after the user US receives a vaccination.

[0071] a. User registration: In step S10, the user US executes the user registration procedure in the management system 10 through his / her own terminal. If the user US is already registered, step S10 is omitted. When the registered organization RO allows its member UM to travel, as shown in step S5, the registered organization RO instructs the member UM to travel and receive a vaccination. In this case, if the member UM is not registered as a user US in the management system 10, the member UM executes the user registration procedure in step S10 through his / her own terminal.

[0072] In step S10, first, the user US accesses the management system 10 through his / her own terminal. In this embodiment, the user US uses the browser software of his / her own terminal to access the operation page that the management system 10 has set up on the network NT, and selects "Registration Procedure" from the operation menu displayed on the operation page. This causes a registration screen for entering the registration information of the user US to be displayed on the terminal of the user US.

[0073] On the registration screen, the user US inputs, as registration information, information to be registered as personal information 32a of the user information 32, such as name, address, account name, email address, password, etc. Furthermore, if the user US is a member UM of a registration organization RO, the user US inputs the registration organization RO to which he or she belongs as registration information. The registration organization RO may be input by selecting from a list of registration organizations RO displayed in a pull-down menu. When the user US has completed inputting information on the registration screen, the input registration information is sent to the management server 20.

[0074] In step S15, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 executes a registration process. In the registration process, the information management unit 23 performs settings to enable the user US to access the management system 10, and stores the entered registration information in the database 30 as user information 32. If the user US has entered a registered organization RO as the organization to which he or she belongs, the information management unit 23 executes a process for authenticating the member UM on the terminal of the registered organization RO, and after authentication, associates and registers the member UM with the registered organization RO.

[0075] After the registration of the user US is completed, the information management unit 23 sends an email to the terminal of the user US notifying the completion of the registration. The email includes information for the user US to access the management system 10, such as URL information linking to the login page of the user US. After the registration procedure is completed, the user US can access the management system 10 from his / her own terminal and receive the services provided by the management system 10.

[0076] b. Advance interview appointment: In step S20, the user US accesses the management server 20 with his / her own terminal to make a reservation for a pre-interview with the medical institution MI. After logging in to the management system 10, the user US selects "reserve pre-interview" from the operation menu on the operation screen displayed on the terminal. This causes the terminal of the user US to request the management server 20 to start the execution of the pre-interview reservation process.

[0077] In step S25, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 starts the advance consultation reservation process. The information management unit 23 first displays a screen on the terminal of the user US to allow the user US to select a medical institution MI to which the user US will request vaccination. The medical institution MI may be selected from a list of medical institutions MI displayed in a pull-down menu. When the user US selects a medical institution MI, the selection result is sent to the management server 20.

[0078] The information management unit 23 of the management server 20 reads the schedule information 34b of the selected medical institution MI from the database 30. The information management unit 23 displays a screen including information showing possible reservation dates and times on the terminal of the user US based on the schedule information 34b. When the user US inputs a desired reservation date through the screen, the information management unit 23 accesses the terminal of the selected medical institution MI and transmits the desired reservation date of the user US.

[0079] In step S27, the terminal of the medical institution MI accepts and registers the reservation. When the reservation is accepted at the medical institution MI, the information management unit 23 transmits a message to the terminal of the user US indicating that the reservation has been established. After this, the contents of the reservation are reflected in the reservation information 32c of the user information 32 in the database 30 and the schedule information 34b of the medical institution information 34, and can be viewed from the terminals of the user US and the medical institution MI.

[0080] In step S29, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 executes a pre-interview reminder process based on the pre-interview reservation information. The information management unit 23 transmits an email to the terminal of the user US on a predetermined day approaching the pre-interview reservation date, in accordance with the settings of the reminder process preset by the user US, notifying the user that the pre-interview reservation date is approaching.

[0081] c. Pre-interview (vaccination appointment): Steps S30 to S37 are the processing for the pre-interview. In step S30, the user US accesses the medical institution MI with which the pre-interview has been scheduled. The user US visits the medical institution MI in time for the scheduled date and time. The pre-interview between the user US and the doctor in charge at the medical institution MI may be conducted online via the network NT. In this case, in step S30, the user US accesses the terminal of the medical institution MI through his / her own terminal and conducts the pre-interview remotely.

[0082] In step S32, a pre-interview is conducted with the user US at the medical institution MI. In the pre-interview, as shown in step S32a, the doctor in charge interviews the user US while viewing the information in the database 30 on a terminal of the medical institution MI. The doctor in charge accesses the management system 10 through the terminal of the medical institution MI, and conducts an interview with the user US while displaying information acquired from the user information 32, vaccine information 31, and travel destination information 35 on the terminal of the medical institution MI.

[0083] When the doctor in charge finishes checking the status of the user US through the interview, he / she selects "Make a reservation for vaccination" from the operation menu on the operation screen displayed on the terminal of the medical institution MI by the management system 10. This causes the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 to start executing the reservation process for vaccination in step S35. The information management unit 23 causes the terminal of the medical institution MI to display the reservation screen RS for reservation processing.

[0084] 10 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a vaccination reservation screen RS. The reservation screen RS displays an item list LS of candidate vaccines extracted by the doctor in charge according to the contents of the interview, and items of medical services such as tests and examinations that accompany the vaccination. If the user US is a member UM of the registered organization RO that is planning to travel, a list of vaccines based on the vaccine set information 33b that the registered organization RO has registered in advance for each travel destination is displayed in the item list LS.

[0085] The item list LS is provided with check boxes CB for inputting the selection of the user US. Next to the item list LS, an explanation of the contents of each vaccine and medical service is displayed based on the vaccine information 31 in the database 30. The explanation column also displays the vaccination restriction period based on vaccination restriction information 31e. Next to the explanation column, information on the history of each vaccine and information on the stock of the vaccine at the medical institution MI are displayed based on the history information 31c and stock information 31f of the vaccine information 31.

[0086] If the user US is a member UM of the registered organization RO, the reservation screen RS displays whether the registered organization RO will cover the cost for each vaccine or medical service item, based on the cost sharing information 33c of the registered organization RO. The reservation screen RS also displays whether the member UM's family will cover the cost for each vaccine or medical service item, based on the cost sharing information 33c of the registered organization RO.

[0087] The doctor in charge checks the check boxes CB displayed on the appointment screen RS for the vaccines and medical services that the user US wishes to receive. When the doctor in charge performs an operation to complete the selection on the appointment screen RS, the selection result is transmitted to the management server 20.

[0088] In the management server 20, the information management unit 23 refers to the schedule information 34b of the medical institution information 34 on the database 30, determines candidates for the vaccination date and time for each selected vaccine, and transmits them to the terminal of the medical institution MI. In this embodiment, when determining candidates for the vaccination date and time, the information management unit 23 refers to the vaccination restriction information 31e to reflect the restricted period during which vaccination of each vaccine should be avoided. The information management unit 23 determines candidates for the vaccination date and time so that the interval between the vaccination dates and times for each vaccine is longer than the restricted period.

[0089] On the reservation screen of the terminal of the medical institution MI, the candidate date and time of vaccination determined by the management server 20 is displayed. The user US can accept the candidate date and time as is, or can revise the candidate date and time through the terminal of the medical institution MI in consultation with the doctor in charge.

[0090] When, with the agreement of the user US, the doctor in charge performs an operation to confirm the candidate date and time of vaccination on the reservation screen displayed on the terminal of the medical institution MI, the information management unit 23 completes the reservation registration in the management server 20. The information management unit 23 reflects the reserved date and time in the reservation information 32c of the user information 32 in the database 30 and in the schedule information 34b of the medical institution information 34.

[0091] In step S37, the information management unit 23 sends an email indicating the reservation details confirmed in the reservation process to the terminal of the user US. This completes the vaccination reservation process by the information management unit 23.

[0092] After the reservation process is completed, as shown in steps S38a and S38b, the details of the user US's vaccination reservation can be viewed and confirmed at any time through at least the terminals of the user US and the medical institution MI. Through operations from the terminals of the user US and the medical institution MI, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 displays a confirmation screen showing the details of the user US's vaccination reservation on each terminal. Note that if the user US is a member UM of a registered organization RO, the details of the member UM's vaccination reservation may also be confirmed from a terminal of the registered organization RO.

[0093] In step S39, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 executes a reminder process based on the vaccination reservation information 32c of the user US. The information management unit 23 transmits an email to the terminal of the user US notifying the user US that the vaccination reservation date is approaching on a predetermined day approaching the vaccination reservation date, in accordance with the setting of the reminder process preset by the user US.

[0094] d. Vaccination: Steps S40 to S48 are processes carried out on the day of vaccination of the user US. In step S40 in Fig. 8, the user US visits the medical institution MI at the scheduled date and time for vaccination. In step S45, the user US receives the reserved type of vaccine at the medical institution MI.

[0095] In step S46 of Fig. 9, a person in charge at the medical institution MI accesses the management system 10 through a terminal at the medical institution MI and records that the vaccination of the user US has been completed. The vaccination record is made through an input screen for vaccination record displayed on the terminal at the medical institution MI by the information management unit 23 of the management server 20. In step S48, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 updates the vaccination history information 32d of the user information 32 based on the inputted vaccination record information.

[0096] After the vaccination history information 32d has been updated, the user US can check the vaccination history, as shown in step S49a. Also, the registered organization RO can check the vaccination history of its members UM, as shown in step S49b. Checking the vaccination history of the user US in steps S49a and S49b can be done at any time after the vaccination history information 32d has been updated.

[0097] e. Vaccination Accounting: In step S50, on the day that the vaccination of the user US is completed, the accounting staff of the medical institution MI instructs the management system 10, via the terminal of the medical institution MI, to execute accounting processing to settle the vaccination fee for the user US. The accounting staff of the medical institution MI accesses the management system 10 via the terminal of the medical institution MI, and instructs the management server 20 by selecting "Accounting for Vaccination" from the operation menu on the operation screen of the management system 10 displayed on the terminal of the medical institution MI.

[0098] In the management system 10, the accounting procedures for a general user US who is not a member UM of a registered organization RO are different from the accounting procedures for when the user US is a registered organization RO, so the following will explain each separately in order.

[0099] (i) Accounting for general users: In step S52, the accounting processing unit 25 of the management server 20 uses the data stored in the database 30 to calculate the cost to be paid by the user US. The accounting processing unit 25 first identifies the type of vaccine administered to the user US and the items of medical services received by the user US at the medical institution MI from the vaccination history information 32d of the user US. The accounting processing unit 25 refers to the vaccination cost information 31d and the medical cost information 34c, which are cost information, and adds up the vaccination cost of the vaccine and the cost of the medical service to calculate the cost to be paid by the user US. In step S53, the accounting processing unit 25 transmits billing information IU indicating the amount of the cost to the terminal of the medical institution MI.

[0100] In step S54, the medical institution MI bills the user US who has completed the vaccination for the cost. In step S56, the user US pays the fee at the accounting counter of the medical institution MI. In step S58, the accounting staff of the medical institution MI accesses the management system 10 via a terminal of the medical institution MI and records in the personal accounting information 32e of the user information 32 that the payment of the user US has been completed.

[0101] (ii) Accounting treatment of members of registered organizations: If the user US is a member UM of a registered organization RO, in step S52, the accounting processing unit 25 calculates the personal expenses borne by the member himself and the organizational expenses borne by the registered organization based on the vaccination cost information 31d, which is cost information, and the medical cost information 34c, and the cost burden information 33c.

[0102] The accounting processing unit 25 identifies the type of vaccine administered to the user US and the items of medical services received by the user US at the medical institution MI from the vaccination history information 32d of the user US. The accounting processing unit 25 refers to the expense sharing information 33c of the registered organization RO and determines whether the vaccine administered to the user US and the medical services received are to be borne by the registered organization RO. The accounting processing unit 25 refers to the vaccination expense information 31d and the medical expense information 34c, which are expense information, and calculates and adds up the amounts for the items to be borne by the member UM to calculate the individual expenses. The accounting processing unit 25 also calculates and adds up the amounts for the items to be borne by the registered organization RO to calculate the organization expenses to be borne.

[0103] In step S53, the accounting processor 25 sends billing information IUa indicating the amount of the personal expenses to the terminal of the medical institution MI. In step S54, the medical institution MI bills the user US for the amount of the personal expenses after the vaccination. In step S56, the user US pays the personal expenses. Then, in step S58, the accounting staff of the medical institution MI accesses the management system 10 via the terminal of the medical institution MI and records the completion of the payment of the user US in the personal accounting information 32e of the user information 32.

[0104] Furthermore, in step S60, the accounting processing unit 25 transmits billing information IO indicating the amount of the organization's expenses to the terminal of the registered organization RO, and bills the registered organization RO for its share of the vaccination fee and medical service fee. If the registered organization RO has set this in advance, the accounting processing unit 25 adds up the organization's expenses for each member UM incurred within a predetermined period, such as monthly, and bills the organization RO in a lump sum on the last day of the month, etc.

[0105] In step S62, the registered organization RO pays the organization's share of the expenses to the medical institution MI. Then, in step S63, the accounting staff of the medical institution MI accesses the management system 10 through the terminal of the medical institution MI and records in the organization accounting information 33d of the organization information 33 that the payment of the registered organization RO's share has been completed.

[0106] This completes the accounting process for vaccination in management system 10.

[0107] f. Issuance of vaccination record certificate: In the management system 10, the user US can issue a vaccination record certificate to certify that he or she has been vaccinated at any time after vaccination at the medical institution MI is completed.

[0108] In step S70, the user US accesses the management system 10 through his / her own terminal and requests the issuance of a vaccination record certificate. The user US selects "Issue vaccination record certificate" from the operation menu on the operation screen of the management system 10 displayed on his / her own terminal. The user US can then select the information to be written on the vaccination record certificate, such as the vaccine to be certified by the vaccination record certificate, through the input image displayed on the terminal.

[0109] When the input is completed, in step S72, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 issues a vaccination record certificate. The information management unit 23 accesses the vaccination history information 32d of the user US who requested the issuance of the vaccination record certificate, and inserts the acquired information into a predetermined format data of the vaccination record certificate that has been prepared in advance, thereby generating electronic data PD of the vaccination record certificate.

[0110] The type of the electronic data PD of the vaccination record certificate is not particularly limited, and may be raster data, vector data, or document data for a specific application program. The electronic data PD of the vaccination record certificate may be, for example, PDF data. The information management unit 23 transmits the generated electronic data PD of the vaccination record certificate to the terminal of the user US.

[0111] 1-5. Summary of the main benefits of the management system: According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the registered organization RO is billed for the cost of vaccination of the member UM of the registered organization RO based on the preset cost sharing information 33c. The medical institution MI also bills the member UM individually for the cost of vaccination. This eliminates the need for the member UM to pay the cost of vaccination to the registered organization RO on behalf of the registered organization RO, and the registered organization RO does not have to perform accounting procedures for the advance payment, which facilitates accounting procedures for vaccination.

[0112] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, by setting in advance, the registered organization RO can be charged a lump sum of the expenses for each member UM within a predetermined period. This makes it possible to further facilitate accounting for vaccination at the registered organization RO.

[0113] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the doctor in charge at the medical institution MI can make a reservation for vaccination through the terminal of the medical institution MI while directly interviewing the user US in a pre-interview with the user US. This prevents erroneous reservations for vaccination from being made. Furthermore, according to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the reservation details at that time can be easily confirmed from the terminals of the user US and the medical institution, respectively. This makes it easier to manage reservations for vaccination.

[0114] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the registered organization RO can register in advance in the database 30 vaccine set information 33b, which summarizes the types of vaccines that its members UM should receive when traveling abroad by destination country. This makes it easy for the registered organization RO to ensure that its members UM receive the vaccinations that are specified as necessary when traveling abroad. Furthermore, when making a reservation for a travel vaccination at a medical institution MI, the member UM can easily select the vaccine to be administered based on the vaccine set information 33b. This makes it possible to more efficiently manage the vaccination of the members UM of the registered organization RO.

[0115] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, when a vaccine to be administered is selected in a vaccination reservation of a user US, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 applies the vaccine restriction period included in the vaccination restriction information 31e to determine candidates for the vaccination date and time for each type of vaccine. This makes it possible to appropriately generate a vaccination schedule according to the type of vaccine. This makes it easier to make a reservation for vaccination.

[0116] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, when the time for vaccination approaches, an email is sent to the terminal of the user US notifying the user of the approaching vaccination time. This prevents the user US from forgetting to schedule a vaccination, and further improves the management of vaccination by the management system 10.

[0117] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 allows the user US's terminal to access the vaccination history information 32d of the user US, and allows the registered organization RO's terminal to access the vaccination history information 32d of the member UM. This allows the user US to easily check his or her own vaccination history, and also allows the registered organization RO to easily check the vaccination history of the member UM. This further improves the manageability of vaccinations by the management system 10.

[0118] According to the management system 10 of the first embodiment, the information management unit 23 of the management server 20 generates electronic data PD of the vaccination record certificate based on the vaccination history information 32d in response to a request from the user US, and transmits it to the terminal of the user US. This allows the user US to more easily obtain the vaccination record certificate, thereby further improving convenience for the user US.

[0119] 1-6. Summary of the first embodiment: As described above, the management server 20 of the first embodiment, the management system 10 including the management server 20, and the management method in the management system 10 can facilitate accounting of the costs related to vaccination of the registered organization RO and its members UM. In addition, the management server 20 of the first embodiment, the management system 10 including the management server 20, and the management method in the management system 10 can achieve the various effects described in the above embodiments regarding the management of vaccination.

[0120] 2. Second embodiment: 11 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a management system 10A according to the second embodiment. The management system 10A has almost the same configuration as the management system 10 according to the first embodiment, except that an agency TA is added.

[0121] The agent TA is a company that operates a travel agency. The agent TA's terminal is connected to a network NT. The agent TA's terminal can communicate with the management server 20 through the network NT. The agent TA's terminal can also communicate with the terminals of the user US, the registered organization RO, and the medical institution MI through the network NT.

[0122] In the management system 10A, users UA and registered organizations RO can register to use the management system 10A through an agency TA. Furthermore, general users US and members UM who are planning to travel can request the management system 10 to provide services for travel vaccinations through the agency TA when making travel arrangements through the agency TA. Users US, including members UM, can carry out registration procedures for use of the management system 10 and make reservations for advance interviews at medical institutions MI for travel vaccinations by communicating with the terminal of the agency TA. Furthermore, the registered organization RO can settle the cost of travel vaccinations for members UM together with the cost of travel preparations and arrangements through the agency TA.

[0123] According to the management system 10 of the second embodiment, the user US can make travel preparations, such as the issuance of a passport, through the agency TA in parallel with receiving a travel vaccination at the medical institution MI, and settlement of the expenses can also be made all at once. Furthermore, with the permission of the member UM, the agency TA can easily obtain a travel vaccination record certificate for the member UM from the management system 10. In addition, according to the management system 10 of the second embodiment, it is possible to achieve the various effects described in the first embodiment above.
