Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] <1. Overview> In a situation where each of a plurality of medical workers performs a predetermined task, a medical worker may request support for the task they are in charge of from other medical workers. At that time, it is conceivable that the medical worker determines the other medical worker who will actually be the support request destination in consideration of the content of the task they are in charge of and the abilities and work situations of each of the plurality of other medical workers.

[0011] However, with such a method of determining the support request destination, the work cannot be fully streamlined. Specifically, with the above-described determination method, support requests may concentrate on medical workers with high abilities. Also, with the above-described determination method, the determination of the support request destination is left to individual judgment, so the overall situation of the organization, such as the training of new employees and the equalization of the workload, is not considered.

[0012] On the other hand, according to the present disclosure, the work can be streamlined. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of a system 1 according to the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the system 1 is used by at least one leader and a plurality of members who perform work under the command of the leader. In one embodiment, both the leader and the members are medical workers. The plurality of members include a member who makes a support request and a member who can handle the support request. The plurality of members can, according to their respective work situations at that time, sometimes make a support request and sometimes handle a support request. Note that medical workers include, for example, nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, physical therapists, paramedics, pharmacists, public health nurses, trainers, and radiological technologists.

[0013] System 1 includes a support requester terminal device 3a which is a terminal device of a member who makes a support request, a supporter terminal device 3c which is a terminal device of a member who can handle the support request, a leader terminal device 3b which is a terminal device of a leader, and an information processing device 2 corresponding to a server device when these terminal devices are used as client devices. As described above, since whether each of a plurality of members becomes a person who makes a support request or a person who handles the support request varies according to the business situation at that time, the support requester terminal device 3a and the supporter terminal device 3c may be terminal devices having common functions. However, hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, these will be referred to separately.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the outline of the operation of System 1 will be described. First, the support requester terminal device 3a receives an input of a support request from a member and transmits the support request to the information processing device 2 (S1). Next, the information processing device 2 determines a member who satisfies a predetermined condition (hereinafter referred to as the "proposal condition") corresponding to the support request among a plurality of members, and transmits proposal information including information about the member who satisfies the proposal condition to the leader terminal device 3b (S2). Next, the leader terminal device 3b receives an input of approval or disapproval for each of a plurality of members including the member who satisfies the proposal condition from the leader, and transmits approval information based on the input to the information processing device 2 (S3). The information processing device 2 transmits a support instruction to the supporter terminal device 3c of at least some of the plurality of members based on the received approval information (S4).

[0015] In System 1, a leader who grasps the work situations of multiple members mediates support requests. As a result, the concentration of work on a specific member is suppressed, and support instructions considering the overall situation of the organization are issued. Also, according to System 1, the leader can identify members who meet the proposed conditions for responding to support requests by referring to the proposed information. Thereby, the leader can more easily select the destination for sending support instructions. Furthermore, according to System 1, since the leader mediates support requests, the leader can easily grasp the help situation among members.

[0016] <2. Configuration> With reference to FIGS. 2-4, an example of the configuration of System 1 will be described.

[0072] For member m4, the values of "7 years", "Business w2, Business w4, Business w5", "Division B", "65 points", "Difficult to respond" and "-" are associated with each item.

[0073] For member m5, the values of "1 year", "Business w1, Business w2", "Division B", "80 points", "Motivated" and "Making steady progress" are associated with each item.

[0074] For member m6, the values of "2 years", "Business w4, Business w5", "Division C", "70 points", "Careful" and "-" are associated with each item.

[0075] Note that among the tables shown in Figure 7, the values associated with the items of "Evaluation score (average)", "Comment on member evaluation" and "Comment on leader evaluation" are set based on the member evaluation and leader evaluation regarding the support requests handled by members m1 - m6 in the past.

[0076] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a support request and proposed conditions corresponding to the support request. In the support request shown in FIG. 8(A1), values of "business content", "response location", "urgency", "evaluation score", and "number of people", namely, "business w4", "section D", "high", "not applicable", and "3 people", are respectively associated with each of the items. In the example shown in FIG. 8, although the support request and the proposed conditions are different, for example, in the item of location, they may be the same. That is, the support request itself may be used as the proposed conditions. Also, the support request and the proposed conditions are not limited to the items and contents of FIG. 8. For example, the support request and the proposed conditions may include identification information of the patient to be treated. In this case, by configuring the member information DB120 to include the identification information of the patients treated in the past, it becomes possible to include in the proposed information the members who treated the same patient in the past.

[0077] FIG. 8(A2) is an example of proposed conditions corresponding to the support request shown in FIG. 8(A1). In the proposed conditions shown in FIG. 8(A2), values of "business experience", "current location", and "evaluation score", namely, "business w4: required", "section D, section B, section C", and "not applicable", are respectively associated with each of the items. Note that the value of "current location" is determined based on the values of "response location" and "urgency" of the support request. Specifically, according to the support request shown in FIG. 8(A1), since the "response location" is "section D" and the "urgency" is "high", it is desirable that the members in "section D" or the sections adjacent to "section D" (that is, "section B" and "section C") handle the support request. Therefore, in the proposed conditions shown in FIG. 8(A2), the value of "current location" is determined to be "section D, section B, section C".

[0078] Members m2 and m5 have no experience in "business w4". Also, member m3 is in "section A". Therefore, when the information processing apparatus 2 acquires the support request shown in FIG. 8(A1), among members m1 - m6, it determines members m1, m4, and m6 as the members who satisfy the proposed conditions.

[0079] In the support request shown in FIG. 8(B1), values of "Business w3", "Location to address", "Urgency", "Evaluation score", and "Number of people", i.e., "Business w3", "Section D", "Low", "75 points or more", and "3 people", are associated with the respective items of "Business content", "Location to address", "Urgency", "Evaluation score", and "Number of people".

[0080] FIG. 8(B2) is an example of proposed conditions corresponding to the support request shown in FIG. 8(B1). In the proposed conditions shown in FIG. 8(B2), values of "Business experience", "Current location", and "Evaluation score", i.e., "Business w_{3}: Required", "Irrespective", and "75 points or more", are associated with the respective items of "Business experience", "Current location", and "Evaluation score". According to the support request shown in FIG. 8(B1), although the "Location to address" is "Section D", since the "Urgency" is "Low", the support request can be addressed by members in any section. Therefore, in the proposed conditions shown in FIG. 8(B2), the value of "Current location" is determined to be "Irrespective".

[0081] Members m4 - m6 have no experience in "Business w3". Also, the "Average evaluation score" of member m2 is "70 points" (i.e., less than 75 points). Therefore, when the information processing apparatus 2 acquires the support request shown in FIG. 8(B1), among members m1 - m6, the information processing apparatus 2 determines members m1 and m3 as members who satisfy the proposed conditions.

[0082] In the following description, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 2 has acquired the support request shown in FIG. 8(A1). That is, in S104, the information processing apparatus 2 determines members m1, m4, and m6 as members who satisfy the proposed conditions.

[0083] Returning to FIG. 5, the information processing apparatus 2 outputs the proposed information to the leader terminal device 3b (S106). In this example, the proposed information includes information for discriminatively displaying members who satisfy the proposed conditions and members who do not satisfy the proposed conditions. Also, in this example, the proposed information further includes member information.

[0084] In response, the leader terminal device 3b displays the proposed information and accepts an input from the leader regarding whether to approve each of the members m1 - m6 (S108).

[0085] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the leader terminal device 3b in S108. In the example of the display screen of FIG. 9, a message d100, an icon display area d101, an experience year display area d102, an evaluation score display area d104, a comment display area d106, a reason display area d108, an approval button display area d110, and a decision button d112 are displayed.

[0086] The message d100 is an instruction to the leader. In this example, it is displayed as "Please select three members to approve."

[0087] The icon display area d101 is an area where the icons of the members m1 - m6 are displayed. Note that the object to be displayed is not limited to icons, and information that can identify the members, such as names, may also be used. Among the icons of the members m1 - m6, the icons of the members m1, m4, and m6 are displayed in the column of "Members meeting the proposal conditions." On the other hand, the icons of the members m2, m3, and m5 are displayed in the column of "Other members." Thereby, the leader can easily determine who meets the proposal conditions (that is, who can efficiently handle the support request).

[0088] The years of experience display area d102 is an area where the years of experience of members m1 - m6 are displayed (refer to the column of "Years of Experience" in Figure 7). In this example, it is described as if specific years are displayed, but the information to be displayed is not limited to specific years and may be information that roughly indicates the experience of members such as "Newcomer", "Veteran", etc. The evaluation score display area d104 is an area where the scores of members m1 - m6 are displayed (refer to the column of "Evaluation Score (Average)" in Figure 7). In this example, it is described as if specific scores are displayed, but the information to be displayed is not limited to specific scores and may be information that roughly indicates the evaluation of members such as "High", "Medium", "Low", etc. The comment display area d106 is an area where comments on member evaluations and leader evaluations for members m1 - m6 among the member information stored in the member information DB120 are displayed (refer to the columns of "Comments on Member Evaluation" and "Comments on Leader Evaluation" in Figure 7).

[0089] The reason display area d108 is an area where the reasons why the members displayed in the column of "Other Members" did not meet the proposal conditions are displayed. As described above, members m2 and m5 do not have experience in "Business w4". Therefore, the text "No work experience" is associated and displayed for members m2 and m5. Also, member m3 is not in the section adjacent to the section "Compartment D" which is the location to be addressed. Therefore, the text "The distance is far" is associated and displayed for member m3.

[0090] The approval button display area d110 is an area where a button is displayed that allows the leader to approve a member as a person to handle the support request by pressing it. In this example, members m4 and m6 who meet the proposal conditions and member m3 who does not meet the proposal conditions have been approved by the leader. In this way, the leader can select the person to handle the support request in an overview manner without necessarily being restricted by the content of the support request.

[0091] The decision button d112 is a button that can determine approval. In this example, it is assumed that the leader presses the decision button d112 with members m4, m6, and m3 approved.

[0092] Returning to FIG. 5, in response to the leader pressing the decision button d112, the leader terminal device 3b transmits approval information to the information processing device 2 (S112). Based on the acquired approval information, the information processing device 2 outputs a support instruction to the supporter terminal devices 3c of members m4, m6, and m3 (S114). In response, the supporter terminal device 3c displays the support instruction (S116).

[0093] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the supporter terminal device 3c in S116. In the example of the display screen in FIG. 10, a message d200 and a support instruction table d202 are displayed. The message d200 shows "Support instruction received". In the support instruction table d202, the support instructions determined in response to the support request are displayed. Specifically, in the support instruction table d202, values "member m0", "section D", "work w3", and "high" are associated with the items "requestor", "handling location", "work content", and "urgency", respectively. Note that the supporter terminal device 3c may be a terminal without a screen (for example, a beacon), and in that case, the content of the support instruction may be notified by voice or the like.

[0094] Members m4, m6, and m3 who visually recognized the display content of the supporter terminal device 3c go to "section D" and respond to the support request regarding member m0's "work w3" (S118).

[0095] [Response to Support Request - Evaluation of Members] FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the system 1 from when members m4, m6, and m3 respond to the support request until each of member m0 who made the support request and the leader performs an evaluation.

[0096] After member m4, member m6, and member m3, who were approved by the leader, responded to the support request from member m0, the support requester terminal device 3a accepts the input of member evaluations for each of member m4, member m6, and member m3 (S200).

[0097] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the support requester terminal device 3a in S200. In the example of the display screen of FIG. 12, a message d300, an icon display area d301, a years of experience display area d302, a member evaluation input area d304, and a decision button d306 are displayed.

[0098] The message d300 is an instruction for the member who made the support request. In this example, it is displayed as "Please enter a member evaluation."

[0099] The icon display area d301 is an area where the icons of the members who responded to the support request are displayed. In this example, the icons of member m4, member m6, and member m3 are displayed.

[0100] The member evaluation input area d304 is an area where member evaluations from the member who made the support request for the members who responded to the support request are input. In this example, comments such as "Courteous today," "Carelessness can be seen," and "A sense of stability" are entered in association with each of member m4, member m6, and member m3. Note that the comments entered here are an example of member evaluations.

[0101] The decision button d306 is a button that can determine the member evaluation. In this example, it is assumed that the member m0 who made the support request presses the decision button d306 in the state where the input is made as shown in the member evaluation input area d304.

[0102] Returning to FIG. 11, in response to the pressing of the decision button d306 by the member m0, the support requester terminal device 3a outputs a member evaluation to the information processing device 2 (S202). The information processing device 2 updates the member information in the member information DB120 based on this member evaluation (S203).

[0103] FIG. 13 is a table showing an example of member information immediately after S203. Compared with the member information shown in FIG. 7, the values associated with the item of "Comment on Member Evaluation" for members m4, m6, and m3 have been changed. Specifically, a comment "There is a sense of stability" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment on Member Evaluation" for member m3. Also, a comment "Was polite today" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment on Member Evaluation" for member m4. Further, a comment "Carelessness can be seen" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment on Member Evaluation" for member m6. These added comments correspond to the member evaluations input by member m0 in S200 (see FIG. 12).

[0104] Next, the information processing device 2 outputs the member evaluation to the leader terminal device 3b (S204). The leader terminal device 3b displays the member evaluation and accepts the input of the leader evaluation (S206).

[0105] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the leader terminal device 3b in S206. In the example of the display screen of FIG. 14, a message d400, an icon display area d401, an experience years display area d402, a member evaluation display area d404, a leader evaluation input area d405, and a decision button d410 are displayed. Among these, since the icon display area d401 is the same as the icon display area d301 described with reference to FIG. 12, the description will be omitted below.

[0106] The message d400 is an instruction to the leader. In this example, it is displayed as "Please input a leader evaluation."

[0107] The member evaluation display area d404 is an area where the member evaluation input in S200 is displayed. In this example, comments such as "Courteous today", "Carelessness is visible", and "There is a sense of stability" are displayed in association with each of the members m4, m6, and m3.

[0108] The leader evaluation input area d405 is an area where the leader evaluation by the leader for the member who has dealt with the support request is input. In the leader evaluation input area d405, a score input area d406 and a comment input area d408 are displayed.

[0109] The score input area d406 is an area where the score corresponding to the quality of the response for the member who has dealt with the support request is input. In this example, scores such as "80 points", "70 points", and "85 points" are input in association with each of the members m4, m6, and m3. Note that the scores input here are an example of the leader evaluation.

[0110] The comment input area d408 is an area where the leader's comment for the member who has dealt with the support request is input. In this example, comments such as "This pace", "Pay attention to the sense of crisis", and "Expect leadership" are input in association with each of the members m4, m6, and m3. Note that the comments input here are an example of the leader evaluation.

[0111] The decision button d410 is a button that can determine the leader evaluation. In this example, it is assumed that the leader presses the decision button d410 with the input state shown in the leader evaluation input area d405.

[0112] Returning to FIG. 11, the leader terminal device 3b outputs the leader evaluation to the information processing device 2 in response to the pressing of the decision button d410 by the leader (S210). The information processing device 2 updates the member information in the member information DB120 based on this leader evaluation (S212).

[0113] Figure 15 is a table showing an example of member information immediately after S212. Compared with the member information shown in Figure 13, the values associated with the items of "Evaluation Score (Average)" and "Comment of Leader Evaluation" for member m4, member m6, and member m3 have been changed. Specifically, the value associated with the item of "Evaluation Score (Average)" for member m3 has increased from "80 points" to "82 points", and the comment "Expected in leadership" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment of Leader Evaluation". Also, the value associated with the item of "Evaluation Score (Average)" for member m4 has increased from "65 points" to "70 points", and the comment "Keep this up" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment of Leader Evaluation". Also, the value associated with the item of "Evaluation Score (Average)" for member m6 has remained unchanged at "70 points", but the comment "Pay attention to the sense of crisis" has been added to the value associated with the item of "Comment of Leader Evaluation". These changed values correspond to the leader evaluation input by the leader at S206 (see Figure 14).

[0114] As described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 9, the member information stored in the member information DB120 is output to the leader terminal device 3b as proposal information. Therefore, the member evaluation input by member m0 at S200 and the leader evaluation input by the leader at S206 are output as proposal information to the leader terminal device 3b when the information processing device 2 next acquires a support request.

[0115] <4. Effect> As described above, the information processing apparatus 2 according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a support request acquisition unit 100a that acquires a support request related to work, and for each of one or more members, based on member information in which at least one of the work status and ability of the member is associated, a determination unit 102 that determines a member who satisfies the proposal conditions corresponding to the support request, a proposal information output unit 104a that outputs proposal information including information about a member who satisfies the proposal conditions to the leader terminal device 3b, an approval information acquisition unit 100b that acquires approval information regarding approval or disapproval by the leader for at least a part of one or more members input to the leader terminal device 3b based on the proposal information, and a support instruction output unit 104b that outputs a support instruction for handling the support request to a supporter terminal device 3c possessed by a member who handles the support request based on the approval information.

[0116] As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 2, since a leader is always involved when a support request is made, the leader can easily grasp the help situation among the members. More specifically, the leader can confirm the overall situation of the support requests, the medical staff who satisfy the proposal conditions for each request, and the past experiences and evaluations of the medical staff, so that the approval judgment can be enhanced, and as a result, the work can be made more efficient. Also, in the prior art, due to only selecting nurses who match the search conditions for nurses, work bias occurs, and the optimal selection of cooperation partners considering providing opportunities for experience to medical staff who are difficult to be selected cannot be achieved. On the other hand, according to the information processing apparatus 2, by the distribution of the leader who has confirmed the proposal information, it is possible to suppress the concentration of work on a specific member, and a support instruction considering the overall situation of the organization can be issued. As a result, the work is made more efficient.

[0117] In one embodiment, the support request acquisition unit 100a acquires a support request input to a support requester terminal device 3a possessed by a member who has made the support request, and the information processing apparatus 2 further includes an evaluation acquisition unit 100c that acquires a member evaluation regarding a member who has handled the support request input to the support requester terminal device 3a.

[0118] The member evaluation corresponds to the quality of the response to the support request. Also, since the member evaluation is input by the member who made the support request, the on-site situation is accurately reflected. According to the above configuration, the information processing apparatus 2 can acquire such a member evaluation.

[0119] In one embodiment, the information processing apparatus 2 further includes an evaluation output unit 104c that outputs the member evaluation to the leader terminal device 3b.

[0120] When the leader selects a member to handle the support request, the on-site opinions on the member may be important. According to this configuration, the leader can select a member to handle the support request after checking the member evaluation. As a result, the leader can have a more appropriate member execute the response to the support request, thus further improving the efficiency of the work.

[0121] In one embodiment, the evaluation acquisition unit 100c further acquires a leader evaluation regarding the member who handled the support request, which was input to the leader terminal device 3b. Also, in one embodiment, the information processing apparatus 2 further includes an update unit 106 that updates the member information based on the leader evaluation.

[0122] Since the leader evaluation is input by the leader, it includes an objective and overall situation overview opinion. According to this configuration, the information processing apparatus 2 acquires such a leader evaluation and reflects it in the member information (i.e., the information used when determining whether a member meets the proposed conditions). As a result, when the information processing apparatus 2 acquires the next support request, it can determine a more appropriate member as the person to handle the support.

[0123] In one embodiment, the support request acquisition unit 100a may further acquire other support requests, and the evaluation output unit 104c outputs the leader evaluation to the leader terminal device 3b based on the acquisition of the other support requests.

[0124] According to this configuration, the leader can grasp how a member has dealt with a certain support request when the next support request is obtained. As a result, the leader can cause a more appropriate member to execute the handling of the support request.

[0125] In one embodiment, the leader evaluation includes scores related to the handling of the support request by the member who has handled the support request.

[0126] According to this configuration, the leader can quantitatively evaluate the members.

[0127] In one embodiment, the proposal information may include information for discriminatively displaying, among one or more members, the members who meet the proposal conditions and the members who do not meet the proposal conditions.

[0128] According to this configuration, the leader can select a member who will handle the support request after grasping the members who meet the proposal conditions and the members who do not meet the proposal conditions. Thereby, the leader can cause a more appropriate member to execute the handling of the support request.

[0129] Note that the above-described effects are merely examples and do not limit the scope of application of the present disclosure.

[0130] <5. Hardware Configuration> With reference to FIG. 16, an example of a hardware configuration when each device included in the system 1 is realized by a computer 70 will be described. Note that the functions of each device can also be realized by dividing them among a plurality of devices.

[0131] As shown in FIG. 16, the computer 70 includes a processor 700, a storage device 702, an input I / F 704, a data I / F 706, a communication I / F 708, and a display device 710.

[0132] The processor 700 controls various processes in the computer 70 by executing the programs stored in the storage device 702. For example, each functional unit included in the control unit 10 of the information processing apparatus 2 can be realized by the processor 700 executing the programs stored in the storage device 702. The same applies to each functional unit included in the control units 20 to 40 of the terminal device 3.

[0133] The storage device 702 is a storage medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), for example. The RAM temporarily stores the program code of the program executed by the processor 700 and the data required during the execution of the program.

[0134] The storage device 702 is also, for example, a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a flash memory. The storage device 702 stores an operating system and various programs for realizing the above-described respective configurations. The storage medium storing the various programs may be a non-transitory computer readable medium. In addition, the storage device 702 can store a table for registering various information and a DB for managing the table. Such programs and data are referred to by the processor 700 by being loaded into the storage device 702 as necessary.

[0135] The input I / F 704 is a device for receiving an input from a user. Specific examples of the input I / F 704 include a camera, a button, a microphone, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, various sensors, a wearable device, and the like. The input I / F 704 may be connected to the computer 70 via an interface such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), for example.

[0136] The data I / F 706 is a device for inputting data from outside the computer 70. Specific examples of the data I / F 706 include a drive device for reading data stored in various storage media. It is also conceivable that the data I / F 706 is provided outside the computer 70. In that case, the data I / F 706 is connected to the computer 70 via an interface such as USB.

[0137] The communication I / F 708 is a device for performing data communication via the communication network 4, either wired or wirelessly, with a device outside the computer 70. It is also conceivable that the communication I / F 708 is provided outside the computer 70. In that case, the communication I / F 708 is connected to the computer 70 via an interface such as USB.

[0138] The display device 710 is a device for displaying various information. Specific examples of the display device 710 include, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, a display of a wearable device, etc. The display device 710 may be provided outside the computer 70. In that case, the display device 710 is connected to the computer 70 via, for example, a display cable. Also, when a touch panel is adopted as the input I / F 704, the display device 710 can be configured integrally with the input I / F 704.

[0139] In addition, the components included in the various devices of the system 1 described in the above embodiment are assumed to be such that the processing defined is realized in cooperation with other hardware when the program stored in the storage device 702 is executed by the processor 700. In other words, these components are assumed as software or firmware as well as the corresponding hardware, and in both concepts, they are also described as "function", "means", "section", "processing circuit", "unit", or "module", etc., and can be read as such respectively.

[0140] <6. Modification Example> The matters described in the above embodiment can be appropriately changed within a non - contradictory range.

[0141] In the above embodiment, the system 1 was described as being used by one leader and a plurality of members who perform operations under the command of the leader, but it is not limited to this. Specifically, the system 1 may be used by a plurality of teams. In this case, a team may be composed of a small number (for example, 1 to 2 people) of leaders and a larger number (for example, 5 to 10 people, etc.) of members.

[0142] In the above embodiment, mainly an example where a member makes a support request was described, but it is not limited to this. The person making the support request may be the leader. For example, when the work of a certain member is stalled, the leader makes a support request to other members for support to that member.

[0143] In the above embodiment, the leader and the members were described as being medical workers, but it is not limited to this. The leader and the members may be, for example, workers working in a factory, office workers, service industry workers, etc.

[0144] <7. Embodiments of the Present Disclosure> The present disclosure includes, for example, the following embodiments. The correspondence with the above embodiments is shown in parentheses.

[0145] [Appendix 1] An information processing apparatus 2 according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a support request acquisition unit 100a that acquires a support request related to work, and for each of one or more medical workers (members), at least one of the work status and ability of the medical worker (member) is associated with the medical worker information (member information). A determination unit 102 that determines a medical worker (member) who satisfies a predetermined condition (proposal condition) corresponding to the support request; a proposal information output unit 104a that outputs proposal information including information about a medical worker (member) who satisfies the predetermined condition (proposal condition) to a first terminal device (leader terminal device 3b); an approval information acquisition unit 100b that acquires approval information regarding approval or disapproval by a user (leader) of the first terminal device (leader terminal device 3b) for at least a part of one or more medical workers (members) input to the first terminal device (leader terminal device 3b) based on the proposal information; and a support instruction output unit 104b that outputs a support instruction for dealing with the support request to a second terminal device (supporter terminal device 3c) possessed by a medical worker (member) who deals with the support request based on the approval information.
