Abstract
To reduce the psychological burden on patients caused by decision-making. [Solution] The medical information processing device comprises a reception unit, a decision unit, an extraction unit, a generation unit, and a presentation unit. The reception unit receives input of criteria for reference patients that will be used as reference for decision-making of the target patient to be treated. The decision unit selects at least one reference patient based on the criteria. The extraction unit extracts medical information related to the decision-making of the reference patient from medical information related to the treatment of multiple patients. The generation unit generates reference information based on the extracted medical information, including information representing branching points related to decision-making and the options for medical treatment at those branching points, as well as information related to the options not selected by the reference patient. The generation unit presents the generated reference information.
