Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic medical record system. [Background technology]

[0002] Hospitals, clinics, etc. have traditionally used electronic medical records that store information such as a patient's condition, symptoms, X-rays, prescribed medications, and progress status in association with the patient's ID and name. Doctors operate terminal devices equipped with display means such as a monitor and input means such as a keyboard to input various information such as the patient's symptoms and prescribed medications into the electronic medical record while treating the patient.

[0003] In recent years, changes have begun to appear in the way medical professionals and patients interact in the medical and nursing fields. Traditionally, the mainstream treatment method was known as "compliance," in which patients received treatment as instructed by medical professionals and followed one-way instructions from medical professionals. However, in recent years, the mainstream treatment method has been known as "adherence," in which patients agree with the treatment plan decisions and actively receive treatment (a method in which patients take the attitude of "receiving treatment" of their own volition).

[0004] However, as shown in the examples (1) and (2) below, there are cases where "adherence" declines, and the expected effects of taking prescribed medication correctly are not obtained, making effective treatment impossible, and there is a desire to improve "adherence." (1) When treating a disease with few subjective symptoms, patients may assume that "it's not a serious illness" or "it's not a big deal if I don't take medication." As a result, they may not realize the seriousness of their illness or the need to take medication, and may not take medication correctly in accordance with the dosage and administration instructions. (2) When multiple medications with different dosages and directions are prescribed, patients may fail to check the dosage and directions for each medication, misunderstand the dosage and directions, and forget to take some of the medications.

[0005] Improving "adherence" is important for patients to correctly understand the severity of their illness and the need for prescribed medications, leading to effective treatment. To improve "adherence" and encourage patients to actively follow the dosage and administration of prescribed medications, it is important to build a relationship of trust between patients and healthcare professionals. And to build this relationship of trust, it is important to have good communication between patients and healthcare professionals.

[0006] One of the situations in which communication between patients and medical professionals takes place is during a medical examination. In recent years, doctors have been using a terminal device to display the patient's electronic medical record, and while they are face-to-face with the patient, they decide on the medication to prescribe while listening to the patient's symptoms, and then enter the patient's symptoms and the prescribed medication into the electronic medical record. The doctor then verbally explains the name of the prescribed medication, its usage and dosage, and precautions, and the patient listens to the doctor's explanation.

[0007] Doctors are very knowledgeable about medications, so they will verbally explain to patients the name of the prescribed medication, its usage and dosage, and precautions, but this is often a one-way communication from doctor to patient. Generally, patients have little knowledge about medications, so even if a doctor verbally explains the name of the medication, its usage and dosage, and precautions, they do not understand and often just listen silently without any interest. This is hardly good communication.

[0008] Even for medications that patients have taken before, they often barely remember the name, dosage, or instructions for use, and may only remember the shape of the medication or the color of the name printed on the packaging. Doctors are familiar with the names, dosage, instructions, and precautions of medications, but because they rarely have the opportunity to see the actual medications, they may not fully understand the shape of the medication or the color of the name printed on the packaging. In situations like these, it is desirable for doctors and patients to have good communication (such as two-way conversation) during consultations.

[0009] In order to ensure good communication (such as two-way conversation) between doctors and patients during consultations, it is important to get patients interested in the prescribed medications. However, written information such as the name of the prescribed medication and its usage and dosage displayed in the electronic medical record does not interest patients. Furthermore, patients often lose interest when the doctor verbally explains the name of the prescribed medication and its usage and dosage. If the patient is not interested, the explanation from the doctor becomes one-way, and patients who simply listen to the explanation will forget it within a few minutes and will have almost no memory of the prescribed medication.

[0010] In order to ensure good communication between the patient and the doctor who is using a terminal device to operate the electronic medical record during a consultation, it is preferable to have a "trigger" for the doctor to listen with interest when explaining about prescribed drugs to the patient, and also to have a "trigger" for the patient to become interested in the prescribed drugs and ask questions easily.

[0011] Displaying photographs (color photographs) of prescription drugs in electronic medical records can be considered as one of the "triggers" for good communication between doctors who are familiar with the names, usage, dosage, and precautions of prescription drugs but are not fully aware of the drug's shape or the color of the drug name printed on the package, and patients who only remember the shape of the drug or the color of the drug name printed on the package, even if they have taken the drug before, and as a "triggers" for getting patients interested in prescription drugs.

[0012] Doctors can display photo images of prescription drugs using electronic medical records and explain the name, dosage, and other information of the prescribed drug together with the patient, which is expected to pique the patient's interest and leave a lasting impression of the prescribed drug in their memory. Furthermore, by viewing photo images of prescription drugs together with the doctor and listening to the doctor's explanation with interest, patients can gain a greater understanding and acceptance of the prescribed drug, associating a clear image of the prescribed drug with dosage and other information and retaining it in their memory. Furthermore, by viewing photo images of prescription drugs together, doctors and patients can more easily explain other information about the prescribed drug "from the doctor to the patient" or ask questions about the prescribed drug "from the patient to the doctor." Displaying photo images of prescription drugs in electronic medical records and having conversations while looking at the photos together is expected to lead to better communication between the patient and doctor.

[0013] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an electronic medical record device that stores the appropriateness of prescribed drugs in various master files by classifying them into levels, and compares the drug data entered into the electronic medical record with the master files to determine the appropriateness of the prescription and display the corresponding level. Patent Document 1 also discloses that the electronic medical record device displays a photo and information of the selected drug when the doctor selects a drug from the drug information screen of the electronic medical record.

[0014] Furthermore, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a patient information management system that includes a reception terminal that reads out medical examination information stored in a medical examination card, a patient information management server, and a medical examination terminal that acquires patient information of the patient to be examined from the patient information management server based on the medical examination information from the reception terminal and controls the display of the patient information in a desired display format. Also, in the patient information management system of Patent Document 2, if there is a prescribed medication in the patient's past medical examination history display area in the electronic medical record, a capsule icon (a generic icon that represents a "medicine" regardless of the name of the medication) indicating the presence of the prescribed medication is displayed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-316967 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-217583 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] As mentioned above, displaying photographs of prescription drugs in electronic medical records can provide a "trigger" for communication between patients and doctors. Furthermore, a conversation between the patient and doctor that begins with a small "trigger" can potentially lead to getting closer to the root cause of the patient's symptoms and leading to a more effective prescription. Furthermore, if it takes too much time for the doctor operating the electronic medical record to display the photographs of the drugs, there is a chance that the doctor will not be able to display the photographs, so it is preferable for the doctor to be able to display the photographs of the drugs without any effort.

[0017] In the electronic medical record device described in Patent Document 1, after a doctor operating the electronic medical record inputs (or selects) the name of the prescribed drug, in order to show the patient a photo image of the prescribed drug, the doctor must perform a display operation on the drug information screen, move to the drug information screen, and then select the target drug. Therefore, while the doctor can show the patient a photo image of the target drug, it is extremely time-consuming. Furthermore, since there is another patient waiting, it is unlikely that a doctor will take the trouble to show the patient a photo image of the prescribed drug unless the patient strongly requests it, making Patent Document 1 undesirable.

[0018] Furthermore, in the electronic medical record of the patient information management system described in Patent Document 2, a generic icon that evokes the image of "medication being prescribed" is displayed in the past medical history display area. However, since the icon is a cartoon-like image that evokes the image of a drug being prescribed, rather than a photographic image of the actual drug, patients are not interested and do not remember a specific image of the prescribed drug, so Patent Document 2 is not desirable. It is also not desirable because it requires more effort for doctors to display the medical history display area.

[0019] The present invention was devised in light of these points, and aims to provide an electronic medical record system that allows doctors operating electronic medical records to easily display photographic images of prescribed medications, provides an opportunity for active communication between patients and doctors, and supports improved adherence. [Means for solving the problem]

[0020] To solve the above problems, a first invention is an electronic medical record system having a display means for displaying an electronic medical record, an input means for inputting data into the displayed electronic medical record, and a control means for displaying the electronic medical record on the display means based on input from the input means, the electronic medical record system further comprising a first storage means for storing photographic image data of actual drugs for each of a plurality of drugs and drug correspondence information in which the photographic image data is associated with the drug name of each of the drugs. When the drug name is entered into a drug input section, which is an input section for inputting the prescribed drug in the displayed electronic medical record, the control means identifies a drug name that includes the entered drug name from the drug correspondence information, or identifies a drug name that matches the entered drug name, extracts the photographic image data associated with the identified drug name from the drug correspondence information, and displays a photographic image based on the extracted photographic image data near the drug input section in the electronic medical record.

[0021] Next, the second invention is an electronic medical record system having a display means for displaying an electronic medical record, an input means for inputting information into the displayed electronic medical record, and a control means for displaying the electronic medical record on the display means based on input from the input means, and having a first storage means for storing photographic image data of the actual objects of each of a plurality of drugs and drug correspondence information that associates each of the photographic image data with the drug name of each of the drugs. The control means, when patient symptoms are input into a patient symptom input section that is an input section for patient symptoms in the displayed electronic medical record, displays candidate drug names, which are one or more drug names corresponding to the input patient symptoms, in a drug input section that is an input section for prescribed drugs; alternatively, when a drug name is input into a drug input section that is an input section for prescribed drugs in the displayed electronic medical record, displays candidate drug names, which are one or more drug names that include the input drug name or one or more drug names that are similar to the input drug name, in the drug input section; and when a drug name is selected from the displayed candidate drug names, identifies a drug name that matches the selected drug name from the drug correspondence information, extracts the photographic image data associated with the identified drug name in the drug correspondence information, and displays a photographic image based on the extracted photographic image data near the drug input section in the electronic medical record.

[0022] Next, a third invention is an electronic medical record system according to the first or second invention, further comprising a second storage means for storing dosage and administration web pages that explain the dosage and administration of each of the drugs. The drug correspondence information stores destination information, including hyperlinks for linking to the dosage and administration web pages for each of the drugs, in association with each drug name. Alternatively, two-dimensional code data containing the destination information is stored in association with each drug name. If the two-dimensional code data is stored in the drug correspondence information, the two-dimensional code data is stored in the first storage means or the second storage means. If the destination information is stored in the drug correspondence information, the control means reads the destination information associated with the specified drug name when extracting the photographic image data associated with the specified drug name, creates the two-dimensional code data including the read destination information, and displays a photographic image based on the extracted photographic image data and a two-dimensional code based on the created two-dimensional code data near the drug input section in the electronic medical record. Furthermore, if the two-dimensional code data is stored in the drug correspondence information, when extracting the photographic image data associated with the identified drug name, the electronic medical record system extracts the two-dimensional code data associated with the identified drug name, and displays a photographic image based on the extracted photographic image data and a two-dimensional code based on the extracted two-dimensional code data near the drug input section in the electronic medical record.

[0023] Next, the fourth invention is an electronic medical record system according to the first or second invention, which has a printing means for printing a drug information sheet, and when an instruction to print the drug information sheet is input, the control means uses the printing means to print the drug information sheet, which includes the patient name entered in the electronic medical record, the drug name entered in the drug input section, and the photo image displayed near the drug input section.

[0024] Next, the fifth invention is an electronic medical record system according to the third invention, which has a printing means for printing a drug information sheet, and when an instruction to print the drug information sheet is input, the control means uses the printing means to print the drug information sheet, which includes the patient name entered in the electronic medical record, the drug name entered in the drug input section, and the photo image and the two-dimensional code displayed near the drug input section. [Effects of the Invention]

[0025] When a doctor needs to prescribe a drug while entering information into the electronic medical record while treating a patient, the doctor enters the name of the drug into the drug input section for entering the prescribed drug. According to the first invention, when the doctor enters the name of the drug into the drug input section of the electronic medical record while treating a patient, once the drug name is identified, a photo image of the drug name is automatically displayed near the drug input section. Therefore, the doctor operating the electronic medical record can easily display a photo image of the prescribed drug, providing an "opportunity" for active communication between the patient and the doctor and helping to improve adherence.

[0026] According to the second invention, when a doctor inputs patient symptoms into the patient symptom input section of the electronic medical record while treating the patient, or when a drug name is input (including partial input) into the drug input section of the electronic medical record, if the drug name is selected from the displayed candidate drug names and identified, a photo image of the drug name is automatically displayed near the drug input section. Therefore, the doctor operating the electronic medical record can easily display a photo image of the prescribed drug, providing an "opportunity" for active communication between the patient and the doctor and supporting improved adherence.

[0027] According to the third invention, patients can use a mobile device such as a smartphone to read a two-dimensional code displayed near the medication input section of the electronic medical record. Patients can then use the destination information (such as a hyperlink) contained in the two-dimensional code to easily display a dosage and administration web page on their mobile device that explains the dosage and administration of the prescribed medication. This allows patients to easily confirm the correct dosage and administration of the prescribed medication, which helps improve adherence.

[0028] According to the fourth invention, the drug information sheet has the name of the drug and a photograph of the drug (the photograph seen in the electronic medical record) printed on it. When the patient takes the received drug at home, they can compare the photograph on the drug information sheet with the actual drug while taking it.

[0029] According to the fifth invention, in addition to the fourth invention, a two-dimensional code containing destination information is printed on the drug information sheet. As with the fourth invention, when a patient takes the medication at home, they can compare the photo image on the drug information sheet (the photo image seen in the electronic medical record) with the actual medication. For example, a patient may want to recheck the web page explaining the dosage and administration of the prescribed medication. In such a case, the patient scans the two-dimensional code printed on the drug information sheet with a mobile device and uses the destination information (such as a hyperlink) included in the two-dimensional code to access the web page explaining the dosage and administration. This is convenient because it allows them to recheck the instructions for the prescribed medication. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] <Overall configuration of electronic medical record system 1 (Fig. 1) and example of medication correspondence information D2 (Fig. 2)> DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, the overall configuration of an electronic medical record system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic medical record system 1 is composed of an electronic medical record server 10 installed in, for example, a hospital or clinic 2, a drug server 11, terminal devices 20-22, a printing means 50, a dosage and administration server 12 connected to the Internet N, etc. The mobile terminal 30 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet of the patient.

[0033] A communication line 41 such as a LAN is installed within the hospital / clinic 2, and this communication line 41 is connected to an electronic medical record server 10, a drug server 11, terminal devices 20-22, a printing means 50, communication equipment 40, etc.

[0034] The communication device 40 is, for example, an optical line modem, a firewall, a router, etc., and is connected to a communication line H such as an optical fiber and a communication line 41.

[0035] The printing means 50 is a so-called printer, and prints out various documents such as prescriptions and drug information sheets based on instructions from the terminal devices 20 to 22 or the like.

[0036] The electronic medical record server 10 has a server main body 10A, electronic medical record storage means 10B in which electronic medical record data D1 etc. are stored, display means 10C such as a monitor, input means 10D such as a keyboard, input means 10E such as a mouse etc. The electronic medical record server 10 stores an electronic medical record service program in the electronic medical record storage means 10B, and provides the electronic medical record service to doctors and others who use the terminal devices 20-22. The electronic medical record server 10 (or server main body 10A) corresponds to control means.

[0037] The drug server 11 includes a server main body 11A, a first storage means 11B storing drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2), a display means 11C such as a monitor, an input means 11D such as a keyboard, and an input means 11E such as a mouse. The drug server 11 provides drug-related information to the electronic medical record server 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the first storage means 11B stores drug correspondence information D2, photo image data D3 for each drug, and two-dimensional code data D4. The two-dimensional code data D4 is two-dimensional code data containing destination information such as a hyperlink to a dosage and administration web page D5, which is a web page explaining the dosage and administration of each drug. The drug server 11 (or the server main body 11A) corresponds to a control means. The photo image data D3 is data of a photo image (color photo image) of the actual package state of each drug (the packaged state when distributed and the state when handed over at the pharmacy).

[0038] The dosage and administration server 12 is a so-called public server (public Web server) connected to the Internet N. The dosage and administration server 12 has a server main body 12A, a second storage means 12B in which a dosage and administration Web page D5 is stored, a display means 12C such as a monitor, an input means 12D such as a keyboard, an input means 12E such as a mouse, etc. The second storage means 12B of the dosage and administration server 12 stores a dosage and administration Web page D5, which is a Web page that explains the dosage and administration of each drug.

[0039] The dosage and administration server 12 then causes the accessed patient's mobile terminal 30 to view the requested dosage and administration web page. When the patient opens the dosage and administration web page using the mobile terminal 30, an explanation of the dosage and administration of the target drug is played in at least one of the following formats: audio, still images, still images and audio, video, or video and audio. The dosage and administration server 12 (or the server main body 12A) corresponds to the control means.

[0040] The terminal device 20 has a terminal main body 20A, a display means 20C such as a monitor, an input means 20D such as a keyboard that can input data into the displayed electronic medical record, and an input means 20E such as a mouse. The terminal device 20 is a so-called client terminal of the electronic medical record server 10, and is placed in each examination room or the like and used when doctors or others use the electronic medical record system. Note that the terminal devices 21 and 22 are the same equipment as the terminal device 20, so their explanation will be omitted. Note that the terminal device 20 (or the terminal main body 20A) corresponds to the control means.

[0041] The mobile terminal 30 is a mobile terminal of the patient, and uses the destination information (such as a hyperlink) contained in the above-mentioned two-dimensional code data D4 to access the dosage and administration web page D5 (the dosage and administration web page D5 corresponding to the prescribed drug) on ​​the dosage and administration server 12, and plays the dosage and administration web page (playing audio, still images, videos, etc. explaining the dosage and administration).

[0042] Next, an example of the medicine correspondence information D2 stored in the first storage means 11B of the medicine server 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2, the drug correspondence information D2 stores, in association with the drug name (D2A), the photo image data name (D2B), the 2D code data name (D2C), destination information (such as a hyperlink) to a web page explaining the dosage and administration (D2E), the drug storage location (D2F), the drug inventory (D2G), and the patient's symptoms (D2H).

[0044] The drug name (D2A) is the name of the drug prescribed by the doctor (the drug to be entered into the electronic medical record).

[0045] The photograph image data name (D2B) is the name of the data of a photograph image (color photograph image) of the corresponding actual medicine. The first storage means 11B of the medicine server 11 shown in FIG. 1 stores photograph image data D3 of each of the multiple actual medicines.

[0046] The two-dimensional code data name (D2C) is the name of the two-dimensional code data containing a hyperlink to a dosage and administration web page (explained by audio, or still images, or still images and audio, or video) that explains the dosage and administration of the corresponding drug. The second storage means 12B of the dosage and administration server 12 shown in Figure 1 stores a dosage and administration web page D5 that explains the dosage and administration of each drug.

[0047] The destination information (D2E) for the web page explaining the dosage and administration is a hyperlink or the like that takes the patient to a web page explaining the dosage and administration of each drug. By clicking on the destination information (hyperlink) displayed using the mobile terminal 30, the patient can display a web page explaining the dosage and administration of the target drug and play a video or the like that explains the dosage and administration of the target drug.

[0048] The storage location (D2F) indicates the storage location of the target drug in, for example, a pharmacy (in-hospital pharmacy, outpatient pharmacy, etc.), and the stock amount (D2G) indicates the stock amount of the target drug in, for example, a pharmacy.

[0049] Patient symptoms (D2H) store patient symptoms (fever, headache, etc.) for which the corresponding drug is effective.

[0050] <Processing Procedures of the Control Means of the Terminal Device 20, Electronic Medical Record Server 10, and Medication Server 11 in the First Embodiment (FIGS. 3 to 8)> Next, using Figure 3, we will explain the case where a doctor facing a patient during an examination operates the terminal device 20 shown in Figure 1 to use the electronic medical record system 1, and inputs the patient's symptoms and prescribed medications from input means 20D, 20E into the electronic medical record displayed on the display means 20C of the terminal device 20. Note that the "control means" in the electronic medical record system 1 corresponds to the terminal device 20 (or terminal main body 20A), the electronic medical record server 10 (or server main body 10A), and the medication server 11 (or server main body 11A).

[0051] In step S10, when the doctor performs a login request operation for the electronic medical record system, the terminal device 20 (corresponding to the control means) transmits login request information to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0052] In step T10, when the electronic medical record server 10 (corresponding to a control means) receives login request information from the terminal device 20, it transmits login screen information to the terminal device 20.

[0053] In step S12, when the terminal device 20 receives login screen information from the electronic medical record server 10, it displays the login screen on the display means 20C, and when the doctor enters an ID, password, etc., it sends the ID and password information to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0054] In step T12, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives ID and password information from the terminal device 20, it compares the received ID and password with the ID and password stored in its own memory, and if the comparison result is OK, it allows login and sends the electronic medical record menu screen information to the terminal device 20.

[0055] In step S14, the terminal device 20 displays the menu screen of the electronic medical record based on the menu screen information received from the electronic medical record server 10.

[0056] In step S20, when, for example, display of the patient's electronic medical record is selected from the menu screen and the patient ID and the like are input, the terminal device 20 transmits patient ID information including the patient ID to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0057] In step T20, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives patient ID information from the terminal device 20, it extracts electronic medical record data D1 (see Figure 1) associated with the patient ID contained in the patient ID information of the patient who visited the clinic, and transmits the extracted electronic medical record data D1 to the terminal device 20.

[0058] In step S22, when the terminal device 20 receives the electronic medical record data from the electronic medical record server 10, it displays an electronic medical record based on the received electronic medical record data. Figure 4 shows an example of an electronic medical record K1 displayed on the display means 20C of the terminal device 20. A doctor can input various information into various fields of the displayed electronic medical record K1.

[0059] In step S30, when a doctor inputs symptoms into the patient symptom input section A1, which is the input section for patient symptoms of the electronic medical record K1 in the example of Fig. 4, the terminal device 20 stores the input patient symptoms in the electronic medical record K1. The doctor inputs the patient symptoms while asking the patient about the symptoms.

[0060] In step S40, when a doctor inputs a drug name into drug input section B1, which is an input section for prescribed drugs in electronic medical record K1 in the example of Fig. 4, terminal device 20 stores the input drug name in electronic medical record K1. Furthermore, terminal device 20 transmits drug name information including the input drug name to electronic medical record server 10. While attending to the patient facing him, the doctor determines the drug to prescribe and inputs the drug name into drug input section B1.

[0061] In step T40, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives the drug name information from the terminal device 20, it reads out the drug name (D2A) from the drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2) from the drug server 11 and compares the drug name included in the received drug name information with the drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2). If one drug name is identified from the drug names stored in the drug correspondence information D2 (Yes), the electronic medical record server 10 proceeds to step T42; if not identified (No), the electronic medical record server 10 returns to step T40 and waits for new drug name information to be sent.

[0062] When the electronic medical record server 10 proceeds to step T42, it transmits information requesting the photographic image data D3 (see FIG. 1) and two-dimensional code data D4 (see FIG. 1) corresponding to the identified drug name based on the drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2) to the drug server 11. For example, in the drug correspondence information D2 of FIG. 2, if the identified drug name is "ABC", the electronic medical record server 10 transmits information requesting the photographic image data with the photographic image data name "ABC_01.jpg" and the two-dimensional code data with the two-dimensional code data name "code_ABC.jpg" to the drug server 11.

[0063] In step U40, when the drug server 11 (corresponding to the control means) receives information requesting photographic image data and two-dimensional code data from the electronic medical record server 10, it extracts the target photographic image data D3 and two-dimensional code data D4 from the first storage means 11B (see Figure 1) and transmits the extracted photographic image data D3 and two-dimensional code data D4 (see Figure 1) to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0064] In step T44, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives the photographic image data D3 and the two-dimensional code data D4 from the medication server 11, it transmits the received photographic image data D3 and the two-dimensional code data D4 (see FIG. 1) to the terminal device 20.

[0065] In step S50, when the terminal device 20 receives the photographic image data D3 and the two-dimensional code data D4 (see Figure 1) from the electronic medical record server 10, it displays photographic images B2B and B2C based on the photographic image data and two-dimensional codes B2C and B2F based on the two-dimensional code data near the drug input section B2, as shown in Figure 5.

[0066] The example in Figure 5 shows an example in which a photo image B2B and a two-dimensional code B2C corresponding to the drug name "ABC" are displayed near the drug name "ABC" (symbol B2A in Figure 5) entered in the drug input section B2, and a photo image B2E and a two-dimensional code B2F corresponding to the drug "ADE" are displayed near the drug name "AD" (symbol B2D in Figure 5). Note that the photo image B2B shown in the example in Figure 5 is a photo image of the actual drug with the drug name "ABC" and is a photo image of the package in which it is handed out at the pharmacy (packaged as it is when distributed). Similarly, the photo image B2E is a photo image of the actual drug with the drug name "ADE" and is a photo image of the package in which it is handed out at the pharmacy (packaged as it is when distributed).

[0067] In Figure 5, the example of drug name "ABC" is an example where the entire name of the drug "ABC" has been entered into the drug input section, and a drug name that matches the drug name "ABC" is identified, and a photo image B2B and a two-dimensional code B2C that are associated with the drug name "ABC" are displayed. Also in Figure 5, the example of drug name "AD" is an example where "AD" is partially entered into the drug input section for the drug name "ADE," and a drug name "ADE" that includes the drug name "AD" is identified, and a photo image B2E and a two-dimensional code B2F that are associated with the drug name "ADE" are displayed.

[0068] In step S60, if the doctor has instructed (printed) the terminal device 20 to output the drug information sheet (and prescription) (Yes), the terminal device 20 proceeds to step S62; if the doctor has not instructed (printed) the terminal device 20 to output the drug information sheet (and prescription) (No), the terminal device 20 skips step S62.

[0069] If the terminal device 20 proceeds to step S62, it uses the printing means 50 (see FIG. 1) to print a drug information statement (and prescription). An example of the printed drug information statement is shown in FIG. 8. The drug information statement P1 shown in the example of FIG. 8 includes the patient name (BBB) ​​entered in the electronic medical record K2 shown in FIG. 5, the drug name (ABC, ADE (AD)) entered in the drug input section B2, and photographic images B2B, B2E and two-dimensional codes B2C, B2F displayed near the drug input section B2.

[0070] As shown in the example of Figure 8, the medication information sheet P1 has patient information P1C printed at the top, and a two-dimensional code P1B containing the patient information P1C printed at a predetermined position P1A, such as the upper left. The patient information P1C includes the patient's name, gender, and dispensing date. The two-dimensional code P1B is used in the <Recording of Delivery of Prescribed (Dispensed) Medications> described below.

[0071] Additionally, on the drug information sheet P1, the drug names "ABC" and "ADE" are printed in the drug name display section P1D, which displays the prescribed (dispensed) drugs. Additionally, photo images B2B and B2E of each drug are printed in the photo image display section P1E, which displays the photo image of each drug. Additionally, explanations of the dosage and administration of each drug and two-dimensional codes B2C and B2F (two-dimensional codes containing destination information (hyperlinks) to dosage and administration web pages that explain the dosage and administration) are printed in the dosage and administration display section P1F, which displays the dosage and administration of each drug.

[0072] <Communication between patients and doctors during consultations (Figures 6 and 7)> During a medical examination, in the [conventional] electronic medical record system shown in the example of Figure 6, even if Doctor YZ enters the name of a prescribed drug into the electronic medical record, a photo of the drug is not displayed; only text information such as the dosage and administration corresponding to the entered drug name is displayed. During the examination, Doctor YZ verbally explains the name of the prescribed drug and its dosage and administration to Patient XZ, who is sitting across from him, but this tends to be a one-way explanation.

[0073] In the [conventional] electronic medical record system shown in the example of Figure 6, patient XZ listens to explanations from doctor YZ, but the oral explanation of the drug name, dosage, and other information does not register. Even when patient XZ looks at the displayed electronic medical record, it only displays text information such as the drug name, dosage, and other information, so patient XZ is not interested and tends to just listen silently. As a result, patient XZ hardly remembers the correct dosage and instruction for each drug, which leads to poor adherence and makes it easy for them to forget to take their medication.

[0074] During a medical examination, in the electronic medical record system of this embodiment shown in the example of FIG. 7, when doctor Y1 enters the name of a prescribed drug into the electronic medical record, a photographic image of the drug (a color photographic image of the actual drug) is displayed along with the dosage and administration instructions. Doctor Y1 explains the drug name and dosage and administration instructions while looking at the photographic image of the drug displayed in the electronic medical record together with the patient. For example, doctor Y1 can explain while looking at the photographic image together with the patient, such as, "The dosage and administration instructions for drug name ABC in the red package (or drug name) are... The dosage and administration instructions for drug name ADE in the blue package (or drug name) are...." This makes it easy to explain. Furthermore, doctor Y1 can explain while looking at the photographic image of the drug together with patient X1, making it easy to explain any precautions not displayed in the electronic medical record.

[0075] In the electronic medical record system of this embodiment shown in the example of Figure 7, patient X1 can listen to explanations about dosage and administration from doctor Y1 while looking at a photograph of the medication with interest. As the saying goes, "seeing is believing," patient X1 can not only listen to doctor Y1's explanation with his ears, but also listen to the explanation with his ears while looking at a photograph of the actual medication together with doctor Y1. This allows patient X1 to become interested in the medication and to clearly remember the image of the medication, making it easier for him to associate and remember the correct dosage and administration. This improves adherence and reduces the likelihood of forgetting to take medication. Furthermore, because patient X1 can become interested in the medication while looking at the photograph with doctor Y1, he is more likely to ask questions, such as, "The medication in the blue package is supposed to be taken 'before bedtime,' but how long before bedtime is best?" (If patient X1 is not interested, he or she will not ask any questions.)

[0076] As described above, when the name of a drug prescribed by doctor Y1 is entered into the electronic medical record, a photo image (a color photo image of the actual drug) is automatically displayed, allowing doctor Y1 to easily view the photo image of the drug. Doctor Y1 can then easily explain the correct dosage and administration to patient X1 while looking at the photo image of the drug displayed in the electronic medical record together. Patient X1 can then take an interest in the photo image of the drug displayed in the electronic medical record together with doctor Y1, and remember the correct dosage and administration by matching it to the drug. Patient X1 and doctor Y1 can then easily exchange words about the drug, such as cautions, questions, and answers, while looking at the photo image of the drug together. In this way, the electronic medical record system described in this embodiment provides an opportunity to shorten the distance between patient X1 and doctor Y1 and encourage active communication, thereby helping to improve adherence.

[0077] <Procedure for Displaying a Dosage and Administration Web Page Explaining Drug Dosage and Administration on the Mobile Terminal 30 (FIGS. 9 and 10)> The two-dimensional code B2C displayed in the electronic medical record K2 shown in Figure 5 contains destination information including a hyperlink to the dosage and administration web page D5 (see Figure 1) corresponding to the prescribed drug name "ABC." For example, in the case of the drug correspondence information D2 shown in Figure 2, "destination information (such as a hyperlink) to the Web_ABC page" is stored as "destination information to the web page explaining the dosage and administration" corresponding to the drug name "ABC." Therefore, the two-dimensional code B2C corresponding to the drug name "ABC" contains "destination information (such as a hyperlink) to the Web_ABC page" corresponding to the drug name "ABC."

[0078] The patient can operate the mobile terminal 30 to read the two-dimensional code B2C in the electronic medical record K2 shown in Figure 5 and select (click) the displayed hyperlink (or an icon or button with a hyperlink set), thereby displaying the dosage and administration web page corresponding to the drug name "ABC" and playing a video or other content explaining the dosage and administration. Note that the two-dimensional code B2C printed on the drug information sheet P1, as shown in Figure 9, is the same as the two-dimensional code B2C in the electronic medical record K2, so it can be similarly read with the mobile terminal 30 to display the dosage and administration web page and play a video or other content explaining the dosage and administration. The two-dimensional code can be read, for example, using the two-dimensional code reading function of a smartphone or tablet.

[0079] Figure 10 shows an example in which a dosage and administration web page is displayed on the mobile terminal 30 using the above procedure, and a video explaining dosage and administration is played. The dosage and administration web page shown in the example of Figure 10 explains the drug name "ABC," a photograph of the actual drug "ABC," dosage and administration, etc., in video, and these are explained in order along with audio.

[0080] In the above explanation, an example has been described in which the two-dimensional code data D4 is stored in the first storage means 11B (see Figure 1) of the drug server 11, but the two-dimensional code data D4 may also be stored in the second storage means 12B (see Figure 1) of the dosage and administration server 12.

[0081] Furthermore, although the above description has been given of an example in which the two-dimensional code data D4 is stored in the first storage means 11B or the second storage means 12B, the electronic medical record server 10 may instead create the two-dimensional code data in step T44 shown in FIG. 3. In step T44, the electronic medical record server 10 reads out destination information (hyperlink) (D2E) to a web page explaining the dosage and administration associated with the drug name based on the identified drug and the drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2), and creates two-dimensional code data including the destination information (hyperlink) to the web page explaining the dosage and administration that has been read out. Then, in step T44, the electronic medical record server 10 transmits the photograph image data and the created two-dimensional code data to the terminal device 20.

[0082] <Record of delivery of prescribed (dispensed) medications (Figures 11 and 12)> FIG. 11 shows a situation in which patient X1, who has received drug information sheet P1 shown in FIG. 8 and prescription PZ shown in FIG. 12, presents drug information sheet P1 and prescription PZ to, for example, an in-hospital pharmacy and receives drugs from pharmacist Y2. For example, in the in-hospital pharmacy, terminal device 22 shown in FIG. 1 is placed, along with a reception desk R and imaging device Z (camera, etc.). The in-hospital pharmacy is provided in hospital / clinic 2 shown in FIG. 1. Imaging device Z is placed above reception desk R so as to be able to capture images of drug information sheet P1, prescription PZ, and drugs placed on reception desk R, and is connected to terminal device 22 to transmit the captured image data to terminal device 22. Pharmacist Y2 can record the history of drug delivery to patient X1 by operating terminal device 22 and recording the captured image data received from imaging device Z.

[0083] Fig. 12 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 22C (see Fig. 11) of the terminal device 22. Screen area Z1 in the example of Fig. 12 is an area where an image captured by imaging device Z is displayed. Screen area Z2 is an area where the file name of the captured image data to be recorded (in the example of Fig. 12, "February 1, 2024_Dear BBB_Handover Record.mp4"), a "Start Recording" button, and an "Stop Recording" button are displayed.

[0084] Upon receiving the drug information sheet P1 and prescription PZ, pharmacist Y2 places the drug information sheet P1 in alignment with the mark M1 (see FIG. 12) on the reception table R, places the prescription PZ in alignment with the mark MZ (see FIG. 12) on the reception table R, and operates the terminal device 22 to launch a delivery record application program. The imaging device Z and the terminal device 22 read the two-dimensional code P1B that is pre-printed at a predetermined position P1A on the drug information sheet P1. The two-dimensional code P1B contains patient information P1C, including the patient's name (BBB). The terminal device 22 automatically creates a file name, for example, "February 1, 2024_Dear BBB_Delivery Record.mp4," based on the patient information P1C contained in the read two-dimensional code P1B and the current date, and displays the file name, a "Start Recording" button, a "Stop Recording" button, and the like in the screen area Z2.

[0085] Pharmacist Y2 prepares the medications (including compounding) and presses the "Start Recording" button to start recording. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, pharmacist Y2 places the actual medication Y2B with the medication name "ABC" printed on medication information sheet P1 and the actual medication Y2E with the medication name "ADE" on reception desk R and hands them to patient X1. At this time, it is more preferable for pharmacist Y2 to place the actual medication Y2B next to the photo image B2B of the actual medication with the medication name "ABC" printed on medication information sheet P1, and the actual medication Y2E next to the photo image B2E of the actual medication with the medication name "ADE", and hand them to patient X1 while pointing at them as shown in the example of FIG. 12.

[0086] Patient X1 can easily and reliably confirm that the photo image B2B of the prescribed drug name "ABC" perfectly matches the given drug Y2B, and that the photo image B2E of the prescribed drug name "ADE" perfectly matches the given drug Y2E, so patient X1 can receive the given drug with peace of mind. After the drug delivery, pharmacist Y2 presses the "End Recording" button to end the recording, and terminal device 22 stores the "February 1, 2024_Dear BBB_Delivery Record.mp4" file in terminal main body 22A.

[0087] By recording the delivery of medication to a patient using the image shown in Figure 12, it is convenient to be able to check at a later date when, to which patient, and based on what medication information sheet P1 and prescription PZ was given.

[0088] It is also possible to place a microphone on reception desk R and simultaneously record the audio in the file "February 1, 2024, Dear BBB, Handover Record.mp4."

[0089] <Processing Procedure of the Terminal Device 20, Electronic Medical Record Server 10, and Medication Server 11 in the Second Embodiment (FIG. 13)> Next, the processing procedure of the second embodiment (FIG. 13) will be described in comparison with the processing procedure of the first embodiment (FIG. 3) of the terminal device 20, the electronic medical record server 10, and the medication server 11. The flowchart shown in FIG. 13 differs from the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 in that steps S30 and S40 have been changed to the parts surrounded by dotted lines (changed parts).

[0090] In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when a doctor inputs a drug name in step S40, a photographic image of the actual drug corresponding to the drug name is displayed. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 13, when a doctor inputs a patient's symptoms in step S32 shown in FIG. 13, candidate drug names (single or multiple candidate drug names) corresponding to the patient's symptoms are displayed. Then, when the doctor selects one drug name from the candidate drug names, a photographic image of the actual drug corresponding to the selected drug name is displayed. Below, the changes from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 (the (changed section) shown in FIG. 13) will be mainly explained.

[0091] In step S32 of Figure 13, when a doctor inputs patient symptoms into the patient symptom input section A1, which is the input section of the electronic medical record K1 in the example of Figure 4, the terminal device 20 stores the input patient symptoms in the electronic medical record K1 and transmits patient symptom information including the input patient symptoms to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0092] In step T30, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives the patient symptom information from the terminal device 20, it transmits the received patient symptom information to the medication server 11.

[0093] In step U30, when the drug server 11 receives patient symptom information from the electronic medical record server 10, it extracts the drug name (single or multiple drug names) corresponding to the patient symptom (D2H) based on the patient symptoms contained in the received patient symptom information and the patient symptoms (D2H) in the drug correspondence information D2 shown in Figure 2, and sends the extracted drug name to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0094] In step T32, when the electronic medical record server 10 receives the drug name from the drug server 11, it transmits candidate drug name information including the received drug name to the terminal device 20.

[0095] In step S34, when the terminal device 20 receives candidate drug name information from the electronic medical record server 10, it displays the drug name (candidate drug name) contained in the received candidate drug name information in the drug input section B1 of the electronic medical record K1 in the example of Figure 4 (displaying it to prompt selection).

[0096] In step S42, if the doctor selects one or more drug names from the displayed candidate drug names, the terminal device 20 transmits drug name information including the selected drug name(s) to the electronic medical record server 10.

[0097] The subsequent processing is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3, and therefore the description will be omitted. When multiple drug names are selected, a photo image of each selected drug is displayed.

[0098] The above example describes an example in which, when patient symptoms are input, the drug input section displays the candidate drug name(s) corresponding to the patient symptoms. However, when a drug name is partially input into the drug input section, a drug name that includes the partially input drug name or a drug name similar to the partially input drug name may also be displayed as a candidate drug name in the drug input section.

[0099] <Effects etc.> In the electronic medical record system 1 described above in this embodiment, when a drug name is input (or a drug name is selected) in the drug input section of the electronic medical record, a photo image of the actual drug of the input (or selected) drug name is automatically displayed. Therefore, a doctor can easily display a photo image of the drug (prescription drug).

[0100] The doctor can then look at the photo images of the medications displayed in the electronic medical record together with the patient, match the medication with the correct dosage and administration, and explain the medication in an easy-to-understand manner while checking the patient's level of understanding. The patient can then look at the photo images of the medications displayed in the electronic medical record together with the doctor, becoming interested, and match the correct dosage and administration to the medication, helping them to remember it, making it easier to ask questions. The patient and doctor can then easily exchange words about the medication, such as cautions, questions, and answers, while looking at the photo images of the medication together. In this way, the electronic medical record system 1 described in this embodiment provides an opportunity to shorten the distance between the patient and doctor and encourage active communication, thereby helping to improve adherence.

[0101] <Other> The electronic medical record system 1 of the present invention is not limited to the configuration, structure, appearance, etc. described in this embodiment, and various modifications, additions, and deletions are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, the electronic medical record server 10 and the drug server 11 may be integrated into a single server. Furthermore, the drug correspondence information D2 (see FIG. 2), the electronic medical record screen (see FIGS. 4 and 5), the drug information sheet P1 (see FIG. 8), etc. are not limited to the appearance, etc. described in this embodiment. Furthermore, the processing procedures are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 3 and 13. Furthermore, the video, etc., that explains the dosage and administration method on the patient's mobile terminal 30 is not limited to the screen shown in FIG. 10.

[0102] In addition, in the description of this embodiment, an example has been described in which a web page explaining the dosage and administration of a drug and a two-dimensional code including destination information (hyperlink) to that web page are used, but this web page and two-dimensional code may be omitted. Furthermore, the destination information to the dosage and administration web page explaining the dosage and administration may be a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) instead of a hyperlink. If the destination information is a URL, the patient can access the dosage and administration web page by starting the web browser on their terminal device and entering (or copying) the URL in the access destination.

[0103] In the description of the present embodiment, an example has been given in which the mobile terminal 30 is a mobile terminal of a patient, but it is not limited to a mobile terminal owned by a patient, and it may be a mobile terminal of a hospital or clinic.Furthermore, it is not limited to a mobile terminal device, and it may be a stationary terminal device (a terminal device equipped with a two-dimensional code reader).

[0104] In the description of this embodiment, examples have been given of displaying two-dimensional codes B2C and B2F containing destination information on the displayed electronic medical record (see Figure 5), and printing two-dimensional codes B2C and B2F containing destination information on a printed drug information sheet (see Figure 8). However, it is also possible to omit displaying or printing the two-dimensional code containing destination information, and to omit the web page explaining the usage and dosage.
