[0001] The present disclosure relates to a technology for managing medical information of, for example, critically ill patients.

Background Art

[0002] In the field of emergency medicine, for patients to be transported to a hospital, prompt responses such as rapid examinations and treatments are important. For example, it is known that for cerebral infarction, the earlier treatment is started after the onset, the higher the possibility of reducing sequelae. Therefore, guidelines around the world recommend starting treatment as soon as possible after the patient arrives at the hospital.

[0003] However, in reality, when treating cerebral infarction or the like, many task operations related to multiple departments within the hospital are required, and moreover, these task operations vary depending on the patient's symptoms, onset time, etc.

[0004] In such a situation, in many hospitals, the person in charge (for example, medical staff such as doctors and nurses) who listens to the patient's information from the emergency team checks the facility's treatment protocol form each time and contacts each relevant department by phone one by one to request preparations for examinations and securing of personnel.

[0005] These adjustments require manpower. In a busy emergency scene, if communication errors or omissions occur, waiting times for necessary examinations may occur, and the overall business process may be delayed, making it difficult to start treatment promptly.

[0006] As a countermeasure, in Patent Document 1 below, a technology has been proposed in which a plurality of task operations are displayed on the information terminals held by each medical staff, so that the treatment status can be shared among each medical staff, the examination department, the treatment department, etc.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-136296 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] However, after detailed examination by the inventor, the following problems were identified with the conventional technology. In other words, while conventional technology allows for the display of work tasks on an information terminal, the technology described in the aforementioned publication alone is insufficient to enable appropriate responses to emergency patients in a short amount of time at a hospital, and further improvements were desired.

[0009] One aspect of this disclosure is to provide technology that enables more appropriate care for patients being transported to hospitals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] (1) One aspect of this disclosure relates to a medical information management system that manages patient medical information by communicating such medical information between a plurality of information terminals and a server. This medical information management system comprises information terminals and a server.

[0011] The information terminal comprises a terminal-side input unit, a terminal-side transmission unit, a terminal-side reception unit, and a terminal-side display unit. The terminal-side input unit is configured to allow input of patient information. The terminal-side transmission unit is configured to transmit the patient information entered in the terminal-side input unit to the server. The terminal-side reception unit is configured to receive information on multiple work tasks indicating tasks related to the patient, which are transmitted from the server. The terminal-side display unit is configured to display the information on multiple work tasks received by the terminal-side reception unit.

The server-side transmitting unit is configured to transmit information about the multiple work tasks generated by the task generation unit to the terminal-side receiving unit.

[0013] Furthermore, this medical information management system is configured to include at least information about the patient's symptoms as patient (i.e., emergency patient) information transmitted from the information terminal to the server. This disclosure describes a configuration that frees staff from the burden of making phone calls and other similar communications, and allows the server to generate necessary work tasks, such as treatments, based on patient symptoms transmitted from information terminals, and to display these work tasks on the information terminals.

[0014] Therefore, in emergency medical care, information such as work tasks can be quickly shared among medical staff who possess information terminals, enabling appropriate treatment and responses to the patient's symptoms. In other words, this configuration allows for more favorable care for patients transported to the hospital. Furthermore, it enables efficient management of work tasks such as medical treatment tasks after the patient has been transported to the hospital.

[0015] (2) In one aspect of the present disclosure, patient information may include an elapsed time since the onset of symptoms, and the task generation unit may be configured to identify the symptom level based on the elapsed time since the onset of symptoms.

[0019] Thereby, the state of the patient can be grasped in more detail, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (5) In one aspect of the present disclosure, as the patient information, it may include at least one of the onset situation, past history, surgical history, patient age, gender, and types of oral medications.

[0020] Thereby, the state of the patient can be grasped in more detail, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (6) In one aspect of the present disclosure, as the patient information, it may include at least one of the presence or absence of pulse irregularity, the presence or absence of conjugate deviation, the presence or absence of hemispatial neglect, the presence or absence of aphasia, the presence or absence of facial paralysis, and the presence or absence of upper limb paralysis.

[0021] Thereby, the state of the patient can be grasped in more detail, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (7) In one aspect of the present disclosure, it may be configured such that information can be transmitted and received by chat between information terminals.

[0022] Thereby, the sharing of information among medical staff is improved, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (8) In one aspect of the present disclosure, when a plurality of business tasks are displayed on the information terminal, it may be configured such that the business tasks can be added or deleted by operating the information terminal.

[0023] As a result, the necessary business tasks for the patient can be set as appropriate, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (9) In one aspect of the present disclosure, when a plurality of business tasks are displayed on the information terminal, it may be configured such that, by operating the information terminal, the result of the business task for which the business has been completed can be displayed on the terminal display unit.

[0024] As a result, medical staff can quickly grasp the results of business tasks, so that responses such as treatment can be carried out more suitably. (10) In one aspect of the present disclosure, the server stores a task master indicating a business task for a patient in a database, the terminal-side display unit displays all the business tasks included in the task master, and among the displayed business tasks, the business task identified by the task generation unit may be displayed in a manner different from other business tasks.

[0025] As a result, not only candidates for business tasks to be performed on the patient but also other business tasks can be displayed, and medical staff can set tasks flexibly while observing the patient's condition. <00001oo> (11) In one aspect of the present disclosure, the terminal-side display unit may display treatment index information serving as an index for the patient's treatment and a plurality of business tasks on the same screen, and arrange the treatment index information at the center of the screen.

[0027] As a result, it is possible to prevent overlooking information serving as an index for treatment and reduce medical errors. (12) In one aspect of the present disclosure, the server stores in a database in association with an examination room a business task, and the terminal-side display unit may be configured to change the display mode of the business task based on the acquired position information of the patient for whom an examination is to be performed.

[0028] As a result, it is possible to grasp the current business being carried out by the patient, and medical staff in charge of the next business can prepare for the business so as to immediately engage in the business.

[0029] (13) One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a computer program used in a medical information management system that manages medical information by communicating patient medical information between multiple information terminals and a server.

[0030] This program is configured to send patient information, including at least information about the patient's symptoms, to a server when patient information is entered on an information terminal, and to display information about multiple work tasks that indicate tasks related to the patient when it receives information about multiple work tasks from the server.

[0031] Furthermore, this program is configured to receive patient information transmitted from an information terminal on the server, identify the patient's symptom level based on the received patient information, identify and generate multiple work tasks corresponding to that symptom level, and transmit information about the generated work tasks to each information terminal.

[0032] This disclosure describes a system configuration that frees staff from the burden of telephone calls and other similar tasks. The server generates treatment tasks corresponding to the patient's symptoms based on the patient's symptoms transmitted from the information terminal, and displays these tasks on the information terminal. Therefore, in emergency medical care, information such as work tasks can be quickly shared among medical staff holding information terminals, enabling appropriate treatment and responses to the patient's symptoms. In other words, this configuration allows for more favorable care for patients transported to the hospital. Furthermore, it enables efficient management of work tasks such as medical treatment tasks after the patient has been transported to the hospital.

[0033] (14) One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a medical information management method for managing medical information by communicating patient medical information between multiple information terminals and a server. In this medical information management method, when patient information is entered on an information terminal, patient information, including at least information about the patient's symptoms, is sent to the server. When information on multiple work tasks indicating tasks related to the patient is received from the server, the information on those received work tasks is displayed.

[0034] Furthermore, in this medical information management method, when the server receives patient information transmitted from an information terminal, it identifies the patient's symptom level based on the received patient information, identifies and generates multiple work tasks corresponding to that symptom level, and transmits information about the generated work tasks to the information terminal.

[0035] This disclosure describes a system configuration that frees staff from the burden of telephone calls and other similar tasks. The server generates treatment tasks corresponding to the patient's symptoms based on the patient's symptoms transmitted from the information terminal, and displays these tasks on the information terminal. Therefore, in emergency medical care, information such as work tasks can be quickly shared among medical staff holding information terminals, enabling appropriate treatment and responses to the patient's symptoms. In other words, this configuration allows for more favorable care for patients transported to the hospital. Furthermore, it enables efficient management of work tasks such as medical treatment tasks after the patient has been transported to the hospital. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0037] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. [1. Embodiments] [1-1. Overall Structure] As shown in Figure 1, the medical information management system 1 of this embodiment includes an information terminal 3 held by each medical staff member and a hospital server 5 consisting of a computer, and the information terminals 3 and the hospital server 5 are able to communicate wirelessly, for example, via a wide-area communication network such as the Internet.

[0038] [1-2. Composition of each part] The following describes each component. [1-2-1. Information Terminals] As shown in Figure 1, the information terminal 3 comprises a terminal control unit 11, a terminal storage unit 13, a terminal communication unit 15, and a terminal display unit 17. This information terminal 3 has functions similar to those of a well-known smartphone (for example, functions such as communication, display, photography, and calculation). Although Figure 1 shows one information terminal 3, multiple information terminals 3 are actually used.

[0039] The terminal control unit 11 is a well-known device that performs various calculations related to the operation of the computer, and is mainly composed of a microcomputer (i.e., a microcontroller) having a CPU 11a, RAM 11b, ROM 11c, etc.

[0040] The various functions of the terminal control unit 11 are realized by the CPU 11a executing a program stored in a recording medium such as the ROM 11c. Furthermore, when this program is executed, the corresponding processing is performed.

[0041] The terminal storage unit 13 may include various non-volatile memories such as flash memory or EEPROM that can be rewritten, or a hard disk. The terminal communication unit 15 is a communication device capable of communicating with the hospital server 5 and other information terminals 3.

[0042] The terminal display unit 17 is a display device that has a dashboard function capable of displaying multiple data sets. Hereafter, the display surface of the terminal display unit 17 will be referred to as the display 18. Furthermore, the terminal display unit 17 has touch panel functionality (i.e., terminal operation unit 19). Therefore, various operations and data input are possible by touching the surface of the display 18.

[0043] Furthermore, the information terminal 3 is equipped with various devices similar to those found in smartphones. For example, it has an internal camera 21 located on the side of the display 18, an external camera 23 located on the opposite side of the display 18, a microphone 25, and a speaker 27. In addition, a power switch (not shown) is provided to turn the information terminal 3 on and off.

[0044] [1-2-2. Hospital Servers] As shown in Figure 1, the hospital server 5 comprises a first server unit 31 that performs processing such as generating business tasks, which will be described later, and a second server unit 33 that performs processing such as the well-known electronic medical record. In the following, the configuration for generating business tasks may be referred to as the task generation unit.

[0045] The first server unit 31 comprises an emergency control unit 35, a server storage unit 37, and a server communication unit 39. The emergency control unit 35, like the terminal control unit 11 described above, is a well-known device that performs various calculations related to the operation of the computer, and is mainly composed of a microcontroller having a CPU 35a, RAM 35b, ROM 35c, etc.

[0046] The server storage unit 37 may include various non-volatile memories such as flash memory or EEPROM that can be rewritten, or a hard disk. The server communication unit 39 is a communication device capable of communicating with information terminals 3 and the like.

[0047] On the other hand, the second server unit 33 is equipped with an electronic medical record control unit 41. The electronic medical record control unit 41 has a similar configuration to the emergency control unit 35 and is a device that performs the processing of electronic medical records, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. An electronic medical record is a system that records information that was previously written in paper medical records, such as patient examination records, test results, and medication instructions, as data.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first server unit 31 and the second server unit 33 are connected in a communication manner, and the electronic medical record information of the second server unit 33 is available for use by the emergency control unit 35 of the first server unit 31.

[0049] In this example, the hospital server 5 is provided with a first server unit 31 having an emergency control unit 35 and a second server unit 33 having an electronic medical record control unit 41. However, the device containing the first server unit 31 (i.e., a server) and the device containing the first server unit 31 (i.e., another server) may be provided separately. In this case, data can be sent and received between the two servers.

[0050] Furthermore, the hospital server 5 is connected to terminal devices (e.g., personal computers) 43 located in places such as examination rooms via a communication line such as a LAN. LAN stands for Local Area Network.

[0051] Furthermore, as will be described later, the hospital is equipped with a publicly known location information system. In this location information system, in order to detect the patient's location, a receiver 45 is placed in a designated location (for example, an examination room or treatment room) to receive signals transmitted from tags (i.e., beacons) attached to the patient's bed or other location (not shown). The signal indicating the location information obtained by this receiver 45 is then transmitted to the hospital server 5.

[0052] [1-3. Operation of the Medical Information Management System] Next, the operation of the medical information management system 1 of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, when providing emergency medical care, first, information such as the patient's (i.e., emergency patient's) symptoms and time of onset is entered into the information terminal 3, and this information is transmitted to the hospital server 5. Based on the information received from the information terminal 3, the hospital server 5 automatically generates a set of business tasks consisting of multiple business tasks such as necessary examinations and treatments for the patient. The data of this business task set (for example, image data such as icons corresponding to the business tasks) is transmitted to the information terminal 3, and the information terminal 3 displays images such as icons of the business task set on the display 18 based on the data of the business task set.

[0053] Therefore, medical staff can understand the content and progress of necessary tasks by looking at the icons of the work task sets displayed on the display 18. Furthermore, they can perform various processes by manipulating the various icons of work tasks displayed on the display 18. This will be explained in detail below.

[0054] (1) Input operations on information terminals First, we will explain the input operations on information terminal 3. Furthermore, the input of patient symptoms and other information on the information terminal 3 can be performed by, for example, paramedics transporting the patient in an ambulance, medical staff such as doctors and nurses on board a doctor helicopter or doctor car, and medical staff at the hospital to which the patient is being transported.

[0055] First, when the information terminal 3 is powered on, the initial input screen 51 is displayed on the display 18, as shown in Figure 2. Alternatively, a login screen for entering a password or other information may be displayed before the initial input screen 51.

[0056] The initial input screen 51 has multiple input fields. Specifically, there is a field A 53 for entering the name of the emergency response (scramble), a field B 55 for entering identification information to identify the patient, and a field C 57 for entering information such as the patient's symptoms. Furthermore, the initial input screen 51 has a send icon 59, which is a button for sending the information entered in each of the above fields to the hospital server.

[0057] Therefore, for example, paramedics transporting patients in ambulances and medical staff at hospitals can input various types of information on the initial input screen 51 of this information terminal 3. For example, in column A53, you can enter the name, symbol, or number that defines the emergency response in this case. In column B55, you can enter identifying information about the patient, such as the patient's name and age. Furthermore, if possible, you can enter even more detailed identifying information, such as the health insurance card number or hospital patient registration number.

[0058] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the C column 57 of the initial input screen 51 is configured to allow input of information such as the patient's symptoms. Specifically, it is possible to input numerical values ​​(i.e., times) for "onset time," "discovery time," and "last confirmed healthy state time." Here, "onset time" is the time (i.e., time) when the illness began, "discovery time" is the time (i.e., time) when the patient with the illness was discovered, and "last confirmed healthy state time" is the time (i.e., time) when the patient was last confirmed to be healthy. In the following, the elapsed time from onset (i.e., the elapsed time from onset to discovery) may be referred to as the elapsed time from onset. The elapsed time can include the elapsed time from onset to discovery, or the elapsed time from onset to the time when the patient's information is entered (i.e., the current time), but here, for example, the elapsed time from onset to the time of entry will be used.

[0059] Numerical input is possible by, for example, touching the input field, which will display a dropdown menu of available numbers, from which you can select a number. Other input methods are also acceptable.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, column C 57 contains input fields for patient symptom information (i.e., clinical symptoms), where you can input whether or not the following symptoms are present: "conjugate gaze deviation," "aphasia," "agnosia," "hemiplegia," and "atrial fibrillation." Touching the rectangular frame in each symptom input field will display a checked mark indicating that the information has been entered.

[0061] Furthermore, column C 57 also includes a field where various elapsed times (for example, time since onset or time since discovery) can be selected, allowing users to input elapsed times in the same way as inputting clinical symptoms.

[0062] Then, as described above, once input in fields A 53, B 55, and C 57 is complete, tapping (i.e., touching) the send icon 49 will send the information entered in each of the fields 53-57 to the hospital server 5.

[0063] Here are some examples of information to be entered on the initial input screen 51. Specifically, the patient information should include at least one of the following: elapsed time since onset (i.e., elapsed time since onset), time of discovery, and time of last healthy state confirmation. Additionally, the patient information should include at least one of the following: circumstances of onset, medical history, surgical history, patient age, sex, and type of medication taken. Furthermore, the patient information should include at least one of the following: presence or absence of irregular pulse, presence or absence of conjugate gaze deviation, presence or absence of hemispatial neglect, presence or absence of aphasia, presence or absence of facial paralysis, and presence or absence of upper limb paralysis.

[0064] (2) Operation of generating business tasks on the hospital server Next, we will explain the process of generating business tasks on the hospital server 5. The hospital server 5 automatically generates business tasks that indicate the tasks necessary to respond to patients, based on the patient information transmitted from the information terminal 3.

[0065] To generate work tasks from patient information, a predetermined algorithm for automatically generating work tasks is used. In other words, a program created based on this algorithm for automatically generating work tasks from patient information is used to automatically generate work tasks from patient information. Furthermore, if the patient's symptoms are known, the necessary procedures and other tasks for that patient can be determined, so if the patient's symptoms are known, the necessary work tasks for that patient can be automatically generated.

[0066] <Algorithm> Here, we will explain an example of an algorithm that sets necessary work tasks based on the patient's symptoms and other factors.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4, let's consider, for example, the case where the symptom level assessment information (Gaia Scale) used to determine the symptom level is 1 point or higher (excluding atrial fibrillation alone). Here, the symptom level indicates the degree (i.e., level) of the symptoms, and can be indicated by, for example, the Gaia Scale. The Gaia Scale is a scale that predicts patients who will require cerebral catheter treatment based on clinical symptoms, and as shown in the square frame in the upper left of Figure 4, it is configured to assign points according to the patient's symptoms (symptom assessment items).

[0068] Furthermore, if less than 24 hours (hr) have passed since the onset of symptoms or less than 4.5 hours have passed since the discovery of the condition, the case will be categorized using the Gaia Scale, and appropriate measures will be taken accordingly. Specifically, if the Gaia Scale score is 3 or higher, the appropriate response will be selected from the symptom levels "A+", "B(CTA)+", "B(MRA)+", and "C+", depending on the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, as described below.

[0069] On the other hand, if the Gaia Scale score is 1 or 2 points, the appropriate response is selected from symptom levels "A-", "B-", and "C-" depending on the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, as described below. Furthermore, if the Gaia Scale score is 1 or higher and the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms is 24 hours or more, the appropriate response, which corresponds to symptom level "D," will be selected.

[0070] In addition, in the case of the gray area in Figure 4 (i.e., the pattern), in order to ensure that emergency response is communicated, the on-call stroke department is contacted (i.e., the department in charge of stroke is contacted by telephone, etc.), and the medical information management system 1 automatically generates work tasks (i.e., a code stroke (symptom level) is activated).

[0071] Then, after the above-mentioned correspondence is selected, further correspondences are selected as needed, as shown at the bottom of Figure 4. For example, if "A+" is selected, then "CT" is selected, followed by "tPA," and then "CTA." If major artery occlusion is found, and the "NIHSS" score is 6 or higher and the "ASPECT" score is 3 or higher, then "cerebral catheterization" is performed.

[0072] In Figure 4, "CT" refers to computed tomography. "tPA" refers to intravenous infusion of a thrombolytic agent. "CTA" refers to CT with contrast agent. "NIHSS" is a well-known assessment tool for stroke. "ASPECT" is a well-known indicator for cerebral infarction. "Cerebral catheterization" refers to endovascular treatment of the brain using a catheter. "MRA" refers to magnetic resonance angiography (i.e., MRI) used for angiography of the brain. "MRI+A" means acquiring vascular information along with MRI. "FLAIR" refers to an examination using T2-weighted images in which only the fluid (cerebrospinal fluid concentration) is rendered unsignalized.

[0073] <Business Tasks> Next, we will explain the business tasks selected by the algorithm described above. Figure 5 shows the business tasks corresponding to the code stroke, which is a series of responses necessary for a patient (i.e., necessary according to the patient's symptoms, etc.), stored in the server storage unit 37 (database). The specific business tasks (i.e., task masters showing the content of specific business tasks necessary for each patient) in each response (i.e., code stroke) shown in the gray area of ​​Figure 4 are shown in Figure 5.

[0074] In other words, Figure 5 shows the business task sets that are configured according to the content of each code stroke, namely "A+", "B(CTA)+", "B(MRA)+", "C+", "A-", "B-", and "C-", that is, the business task sets composed of each business.

[0075] For example, if the code stroke is "A+", the following tasks will be selected: "tPA", "thrombectomy", "prior contact with stroke physician", "weight measurement", "bilateral blood pressure measurement", "medication information", "ER technologist", "clinical laboratory technologist", "ER pharmacist", "CT room technologist", "CTA technologist", "catheterization lab nurse", "catheterization lab technologist", "thrombectomy physician", "NCU ward nurse", and "tPA checklist", while the following tasks will not be selected: "MR room technologist" and "SCU ward nurse".

[0076] Here, "ER technologist" refers to a technologist in the emergency department. "Clinical laboratory technologist" and "ER pharmacist" refer to pharmacists in the emergency department. "CT room technologist" refers to a technologist in the department that performs CT scans. "CTA technologist" refers to a technologist who performs CTA scans. "Cath lab nurse" refers to a nurse in the treatment room where catheterization is performed. "Cath lab technologist" refers to a technologist in the treatment room where catheterization is performed. "NCU ward nurses" refer to nurses in the ward for stroke patients. "tPA checklist" refers to a checklist used when administering tPA. "MR room technologist" and "SCU ward nurses" refer to nurses in the stroke intensive care unit.

[0077] Therefore, as will be described later, when the code stroke is "A+", the information terminal 3 will display which business tasks are selected and which are not.

[0078] (3) Display operation on information terminal Next, we will explain the display operations and other functions of the information terminal 3. As described above, if a code stroke is selected for a patient, information such as the work task corresponding to the code stroke is transmitted to the information terminal 3.

[0079] Therefore, the display 18 of the information terminal 3 displays icons (i.e., business icons) 63 for each business task corresponding to the code stroke, as shown in the business display screen 61 in Figure 6.

[0080] For details, the name of the code stroke (e.g., A+) is displayed at the top of the business display screen 61, and below that, the patient's identification code and name are displayed. The identification code is an ID (e.g., identification number) assigned to the patient. When the necessary information is entered in columns A 53 to C 57 of the information terminal 3 in Figure 3 and sent to the hospital server 5, the hospital server 5 assigns one identification code to each patient.

[0081] Below the identification code and name, a task icon 63, such as a hexagonal one, is displayed, corresponding to each task. The following shows the correspondence between the task icons 63 and the task in Figure 5.

[0082] Specifically, "tPA treatment" corresponds to the aforementioned "tPA," "thrombectomy treatment" corresponds to the aforementioned "thrombectomy," "stroke specialist" corresponds to the aforementioned "prior contact with stroke specialist," "weight" corresponds to the aforementioned "weight measurement," "left and right blood pressure" corresponds to the aforementioned "left and right blood pressure measurement," "medication information" corresponds to the aforementioned "medication information," "ER technologist" corresponds to the aforementioned "ER technologist," "clinical laboratory technologist" corresponds to the aforementioned "clinical laboratory technologist," "ER pharmacist" corresponds to the aforementioned "ER pharmacist," and "CT" corresponds to the aforementioned Corresponds to "CT room technician," "CTA" corresponds to the aforementioned "CTA technician," "Cath lab nurse" corresponds to the aforementioned "Cath lab nurse," "Cath lab technician" corresponds to the aforementioned "Cath lab technician," "Thrombectomy physician" corresponds to the aforementioned "Thrombectomy therapy physician," "NCU ward nurse" corresponds to the aforementioned "NCU ward nurses," "MRI" corresponds to the aforementioned "MR room technician," "SCU ward nurse" corresponds to the aforementioned "SCU ward nurses," and "tPA checklist" corresponds to the aforementioned "tPA checklist."

[0083] The business icons 63 include recommended tasks shown in white and non-recommended tasks shown in black in Figure 6. Of these, recommended tasks are business tasks that are recommended for this code stroke (i.e., tasks identified by the task generation unit and shown in gray in Figure 5), and non-recommended tasks are business tasks that are not essential for this code stroke (i.e., business tasks shown in white in Figure 5).

[0084] In addition to recommended and non-recommended tasks, the task display screen 61 also shows the time until the patient arrives at the hospital and the time since the onset of symptoms, as indicated by the dot icons in Figure 6. Specifically, on the work display screen 61, the time until arrival at the hospital, the time since the onset of symptoms, and information that serves as an indicator for the patient's treatment (treatment indicator information), such as "left and right blood pressure," "weight," and "medication information," are displayed in the center of the screen, while work task icons are displayed outside of these.

[0085] When people view a screen, they typically look at the center first. By arranging the information as described above, healthcare professionals can instantly see important treatment indicators for patient care, reducing the time spent searching for them. In emergency medical settings, even small time savings are crucial, as reducing the effort required to find these indicators alleviates stress for healthcare professionals who are focused on their work tasks.

[0086] Furthermore, the business display screen 61 displays a chat icon 65 for starting a chat, a results display icon 67 for displaying the results of examinations and treatments, and operation icons 69 for performing various operations. Other icons may also be displayed.

[0087] Furthermore, while Figure 6 shows the business display screen 61 when the code stroke is "A+", the content displayed on the business display screen 61 will differ depending on the code stroke. For example, when the code stroke is "B(MRI)+", the business display screen 61 shown in Figure 7A will be displayed, and when the code stroke is "B-", the business display screen 61 shown in Figure 7B will be displayed.

[0088] (4) Operations associated with using information terminals Next, we will explain the operations and other related processes associated with using information terminal 3. <chat> First, let me explain how to use the chat function.

[0089] A chat can be started by tapping the chat icon 65 shown in Figure 6. As is well known, a chat is a real-time conversation using text, voice, and images over a communication line between, for example, different information terminals 3.

[0090] Specifically, when the chat icon 65 is tapped, the display 18 switches to a chat screen 91 as shown in Figure 8. On this chat screen 91, by tapping the start icon 93, text chat, voice chat, image chat, etc. can be started on the chat display surface 91a.

[0091] Furthermore, while the type of chat can be pre-configured, it may also be possible to switch between chats as needed. Additionally, while the chat is with everyone (i.e., all information terminals 3), it is also possible to select a specific person to chat with. Note that tapping the back icon 95 will end the chat and return to the previous screen.

[0092] When the start icon 93 is tapped and the chat is initiated, the system is designed to notify the user that the chat has started, for example by flashing the chat icon 65 on the chat partner's information terminal 3. When the chat partner taps this flashing chat icon 65, the chat display screen 91a is displayed, and the chat can begin.

[0093] <Displaying Results> Next, we will explain how to display the results of examinations, treatments, etc., on the display 18. Figure 9A shows an example of what is displayed on the display 18 when an examination or treatment is being performed. Of the various task icons 63, the gray icon indicates readiness, the mesh icon (actually shown in green) indicates task completion, and the icon with fine diagonal lines (actually shown in blue) indicates task preparation.

[0094] When the results display icon 67 is tapped, the display screen of the display 18 switches to show the details of the work tasks for which examinations, treatments, etc., have been completed so far, as shown in Figure 9B. In addition, to display the results of each work task individually, for example, by tapping the work icon 63 corresponding to the work task you want to display, and then tapping the results display icon 67, the results of each work task can be displayed individually. Note that tapping the back icon 97 will end the results display and return to the original screen.

[0095] <Changes to business tasks> Next, we will explain how to modify business tasks, such as adding or deleting business tasks. For example, if the screen shown in Figure 6 is displayed on display 18, MRI is not recommended, and therefore, the MRI task is not normally performed. In this case, if you want to add the MRI task, tap the operation icon 69.

[0096] When the operation icon 69 is tapped, the screen on display 18 switches to the selection screen 99 shown in Figure 10. Therefore, to add a work task, tapping the add icon 101 switches to the screen shown in Figure 6, allowing you to add a work task. Specifically, when you switch to the screen shown in Figure 6, the work tasks that can be added will blink, and when you tap the icon of the work task you want to add (for example, the MRI icon), that icon will switch to white, indicating a recommended task.

[0097] On the other hand, to delete a work task, tapping the delete icon 103 switches to the screen shown in Figure 6, allowing the work task to be deleted. Specifically, when the screen switches to the one shown in Figure 6, the work tasks that can be deleted will blink, and when you tap the icon of the work task you want to delete (for example, the weight icon), that icon will change to black, indicating a deprecated task.

[0098] Furthermore, when a change occurs in a work task, the system is configured to notify the person responsible for that task. For example, a notification of the change in the work task is sent to the information terminal 3 of the person responsible for that task. The content of the notification is displayed on the person's information terminal 3. Alternatively, the person responsible may be notified via an automatically sent email or other means.

[0099] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 10, an information sharing icon 105 is displayed on the selection screen 99. Tapping this information sharing icon 105 allows you to display information that is desirable to share among medical staff. For example, various types of information to be shared can be selectively displayed in a pull-down format.

[0100] Information to be shared includes the treatment pattern, patient's age, gender, patient identification number, commander information (i.e., name and contact information of the person responsible for treatment), whether family members were present, whether medication record information was available, and the ward in which the stroke occurred. Treatment patterns include tPA treatment patterns, endovascular treatment patterns, tPA treatment + candidate endovascular treatment patterns, conservative treatment patterns, morning stroke patterns, and in-hospital stroke patterns.

[0101] In addition, Figure 10 can display other icons, such as a problem occurrence icon 107 to notify of the occurrence of a problem (as described later) and a revert icon 109 to return to the previous process. [1-4. Control Processing] Next, the main processes performed by the medical information management system 1 of this embodiment will be described.

[0102] <Processing at the information terminal 1> First, we will explain process 1 (transmission process) performed by information terminal 3 (specifically terminal control unit 11) based on Figure 11.

[0103] As shown in Figure 11, in this embodiment, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 100, it is determined whether or not the transmit icon 59 has been tapped on the initial input screen 51 that is displayed when the power is turned on. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to S110; on the other hand, if the determination is negative, the process waits.

[0104] In S110, the system determines whether the necessary items (i.e., necessary information) have been entered on the initial input screen 51. If the determination is positive, the system proceeds to S130; if negative, it proceeds to S120. The necessary information is pre-set information and is at least information related to the patient's symptoms. For example, it is information like that shown in Figure 3. Note that not all information needs to be entered; at least the information necessary to determine the code stroke is sufficient.

[0105] In S120, a prompt appears prompting the user to enter the necessary information, and then the program returns to S100. Meanwhile, in S130, since the necessary information has been entered, the process of sending the entered information to the hospital server is performed, and this process is temporarily terminated.

[0106] <Processing at the information terminal 2> Next, the process 2 (reception processing) performed by the terminal control unit 11 will be explained based on Figure 12.

[0107] As shown in Figure 12, in S200, it is determined whether or not data for displaying business icons 63 etc. on the display 18 (for example, data for displaying images such as Figure 6) has been received from the hospital server 5. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to S210; if the determination is negative, the process waits.

[0108] In S210, images such as Figure 6 are displayed on the display 18 based on data received from the hospital server 5. Specifically, multiple business tasks (business task sets) set according to the code strokes are displayed.

[0109] In the subsequent S220, it is determined whether or not any operation has been performed on display 18. For example, it is determined whether or not any icon has been tapped. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to S230; if the determination is negative, the process waits.

[0110] In S230, the system performs a predetermined process corresponding to the operation performed, i.e., the tapped icon, and then terminates the current process. The predetermined process corresponding to the icon may include, for example, displaying a separate screen and performing the selected process on that screen (for example, adding or deleting business icons 63).

[0111] <Processing on hospital servers> Next, the processes performed by the hospital server 5 (specifically the emergency control unit 35) will be explained based on Figure 13.

[0112] As shown in Figure 13, in S300, it is determined whether or not information necessary for generating a business task set corresponding to a code stroke has been received from the information terminal 3. If the determination is positive, the process proceeds to S310; if the determination is negative, the process waits.

[0113] In S310, the task generation unit generates a business task set based on the information necessary for generating the business task set received from the information terminal 3. In this embodiment, the task generation unit identifies the symptom level based on the elapsed time since the onset of symptoms, which is included in the patient's information, and identifies the business tasks to be performed on the patient based on the symptom level and the task master, thereby generating a business task set.

[0114] Specifically, the hospital server 5's database stores symptom level determination information, which associates symptom evaluation items with corresponding scores. The task generation unit identifies the symptom level based on the patient's information, the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, and the score based on the symptom level determination information. More specifically, the symptom evaluation items include single-applicable selection items and multiple-choice selection items. When the patient's information contains information corresponding to a single-applicable selection item or multiple-choice selection item, the task generation unit adds the score corresponding to the item. The sum of these scores is used as the score based on the symptom determination information, and the task generation unit identifies the symptom level based on the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms and this score.

[0115] In the subsequent S320, the generated business task set data (for example, data such as an image that displays the business task set as shown in Figure 6) is sent to the information terminal 3, and this process is temporarily terminated.

[0116] [1-5. Other Components] (1) When patient information is transmitted from the information terminal 3 to the hospital server 5, the hospital server 5 assigns an identification code (i.e., an identification number) to identify the patient. If the hospital server 5's electronic medical record contains patient information (for example, if there are past medical records and the patient has been assigned an identification number), the information of the patient being transported is linked to the patient information stored in the electronic medical record. For example, if a health insurance card number is transmitted from the information terminal 3, the hospital server 5 will assume that the patient being transported is the same as the patient stored in the electronic medical record based on the health insurance card number stored in the electronic medical record, and will link the patient information (i.e., as information with the same identification number) and store it in the electronic medical record.

[0117] (2) In the hospital, wristbands to be attached to the patient's arm or other body part, or tags to be attached to the bed, etc., are created to identify the patient. Barcodes or 2D codes indicating the patient's identification number are printed on the wristbands and tags. Therefore, by photographing (i.e., scanning) the barcode or 2D code with the external camera 23 of the information terminal 3, etc., it is possible to link with this medical information management system 1, which has functions such as emergency medical care and electronic medical records.

[0118] (3) The results of each work task (test results, etc.) are transmitted to the hospital server 5, for example, automatically from testing equipment, or manually by medical staff using terminal devices 43, and can be stored in the electronic medical record.

[0119] (4) After the completion of each work task, the result information of each work task (e.g., blood test results, MRI test results) stored in the electronic medical record, etc., can be transmitted to the information terminal 3 and displayed on the display 18 of the information terminal 3. For example, if the test results, etc. are uploaded to the hospital server 5 by medical staff, etc., the patient and the test results, etc. are linked by the identification number, so the test results, etc. may be transmitted to the information terminal 3 at that time.

[0120] Furthermore, when the information terminal 3 receives test results, etc., it may be configured to notify the medical staff holding the information terminal 3 by, for example, flashing the work icon 63 corresponding to the work task related to the test results, etc.

[0121] (5) If a problem occurs in any work task, the display of that work task can be switched to a display that indicates a problem has occurred. For example, it can be displayed as a flashing red to make it stand out.

[0122] Switching to the display of a problem can be done, for example, by tapping the operation icon 69 to switch to a separate screen, such as the one shown in Figure 10, and then tapping the problem icon 107 displayed on that screen. If the problem is resolved, you can similarly return to the display of no problem by tapping the operation icon 69 and then tapping the problem resolved icon (not shown) displayed on the separate screen.

[0123] (6) Once all work tasks are completed, the time taken for each work stack can be displayed. For example, by tapping the operation icon 69 to switch to a separate screen, such as Figure 10, and then tapping the time icon (not shown) for each work stack displayed on the separate screen, the time taken for each work stack can be displayed.

[0124] (7) The progress of work tasks may be tracked in conjunction with a location information system consisting of the tags and receiver 45, etc. For example, the location information system may detect when a patient arrives at the examination room or leaves the examination room, and the detection results may be displayed on the display 18 of the information terminal 3 in the form of text, colors, images, etc. The hospital server 5 stores the examination rooms and work tasks in a database and may display a work icon 63 corresponding to the patient's location (i.e., the examination room) in a predetermined color (for example, orange), or make the work icon 63 blink.

[0125] Furthermore, for example, the hospital server 5 stores information on the order in which work tasks are to be performed in a database, and the terminal display unit 17 may change the display mode of the work icon corresponding to the next task to be performed on the patient based on the patient's location and the order in which the work is to be performed. Specifically, the hospital server 5 stores the order in which the work is to be performed in a database in association with the symptom level, and the terminal display unit 17 may change the display mode of the work icon corresponding to the next task to be performed on the patient based on the patient's location, the order in which the work is to be performed, and the patient's symptom level.

[0126] [1-6. Effects] According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In this embodiment, the patient information transmitted from the information terminal 3 to the hospital server 5 is configured to include at least information about the patient's symptoms.

[0127] This configuration frees staff from the burden of making phone calls and other similar tasks, and allows the hospital server 5 to generate necessary work tasks, such as treatments, based on the patient's (i.e., emergency patient's) symptoms transmitted from the information terminal 3, and display those work tasks on the information terminal 3.

[0128] Therefore, in emergency medical care, information such as work tasks can be quickly shared among medical staff holding information terminal 3, enabling appropriate treatment and responses to the patient's symptoms. In other words, this configuration allows for more favorable care for patients transported to the hospital. Furthermore, it has the effect of enabling efficient management of work tasks such as medical treatment tasks after the patient has been transported to the hospital.

[0129] (2) In this embodiment, patient information includes the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, and the system is configured to identify the symptom level based on the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms. This configuration allows for the identification of symptom levels based on the time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, and the generation of work tasks corresponding to those symptom levels, thereby enabling the assignment of more appropriate work tasks.

[0130] (3) In this embodiment, symptom level determination information, which associates symptom evaluation items and scores, is stored in a database, and the system is configured to identify the symptom level according to the patient's information and the score based on the symptom level determination information.

[0131] (4) In this embodiment, the patient information may include at least one of the following: time elapsed since the onset of symptoms, time of discovery, and time of last confirmed healthy state. This allows for a more detailed understanding of the patient's condition, enabling more appropriate treatment and other responses.

[0132] (5) In this embodiment, at least one of the following patient information can be displayed: onset of symptoms, medical history, surgical history, patient age, sex, and type of oral medication. This allows for a more detailed understanding of the patient's condition, enabling more appropriate treatment and other responses.

[0133] (6) In this embodiment, at least one of the following types of patient information can be displayed: presence or absence of irregular pulse, presence or absence of conjugate gaze deviation, presence or absence of hemispatial neglect, presence or absence of aphasia, presence or absence of facial paralysis, and presence or absence of upper limb paralysis. This allows for a more detailed understanding of the patient's condition, making it possible to provide more appropriate treatment and other responses.

[0134] (7) In this embodiment, information can be sent and received between the information terminals 3 via chat. This improves information sharing among medical staff, allowing for more efficient treatment and other responses.

[0135] (8) In this embodiment, when multiple work tasks are displayed on the information terminal 3, the information terminal 3 is configured to allow the addition or deletion of work tasks by operating the information terminal 3. This allows the necessary work tasks for the patient to be set as appropriate, thereby enabling more favorable treatment and other responses.

[0136] (9) In this embodiment, when multiple work tasks are displayed on the information terminal 3, the results of completed work tasks can be displayed on the display 18 by operating the information terminal 3. This allows medical staff to quickly grasp the results of work tasks, enabling them to provide more appropriate treatment and other responses.

[0137] (10) In this embodiment, a task master for patient-related tasks is stored in the database, and all task-related tasks included in the task master are displayed, with task-related tasks identified based on patient information being displayed in a different manner from others. This allows not only candidate task-related tasks to be performed for the patient, but also other task-related tasks to be displayed, enabling healthcare professionals to set tasks flexibly while observing the patient's condition.

[0138] (11) Treatment indicator information, which serves as a guide for patient treatment, and multiple work tasks are displayed on the same screen, with the treatment indicator information positioned in the center of the screen. This eliminates the possibility of overlooking treatment indicator information and reduces medical errors.

[0139] The central area refers to the central part of the screen in both the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in Figure 6, for example. Other information besides treatment indicators can be displayed above, below, to the left, and to the right of the central area.

[0140] (12) The laboratory and work tasks are associated and stored in the database, and the system is configured to change the display of work tasks based on the acquired patient location information for patients undergoing examinations. This allows the system to understand the current tasks the patient is performing, and enables healthcare professionals responsible for the next task to prepare to start immediately.
