Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a triage management system, a triage management program, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, when a large number of injured or sick people occur during a large-scale disaster or accident, a paper card called a triage tag has been used to manage the severity of the injured or sick people and clarify the priority order of treatment and transportation. This triage tag allows medical staff to write information such as the severity of the injured or sick person and information for identifying the individual, and by attaching it to the body of the injured or sick person, the information of that injured or sick person can be managed.

[0003] However, at the treatment site or the transportation site, in order to confirm the information of the injured or sick person, it is necessary to directly visually check the triage tag, and information cannot be shared in real time among a wide range of medical staff. Therefore, in order to solve such problems, a triage management system has been proposed that can centrally manage information related to the injured or sick person, such as treatment priority information, that is, triage information, such as how many injured or sick people with what treatment priorities exist (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] This triage management system has a function of measuring the biometric information of the injured or sick person, and a field terminal that can transmit the symptom information, identification information, and treatment priority information of the injured or sick person corresponding to the measured biometric information of the injured or sick person, and inputs and records the biometric information of the injured or sick person, symptom information, identification information, and treatment priority information transmitted from the field terminal. Furthermore, it includes a management server that can determine the receiving medical institution for each injured or sick person based on the recorded biometric information of the injured or sick person, symptom information, identification information, and treatment priority information.

[0006] However, the conventional technologies described above require specialized equipment such as field terminals equipped with various measuring instruments, incurring various costs for purchase and maintenance. Therefore, their introduction by local governments and medical facilities is financially burdensome and difficult.

[0007] This disclosure addresses the above-mentioned issues and aims to provide a triage management system, a triage management program, and a computer-readable storage medium that enable centralized management of triage information while minimizing economic burden. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the triage management system of this disclosure comprises an input / output terminal and a triage management device that can be connected to the input / output terminal via a network. Furthermore, the triage management device stores triage information, including information about injured persons and information about triage, input from the input / output terminal via the network, in a triage information storage unit, and in response to a request from the input / output terminal to output the triage information of the injured person, it can output the triage information corresponding to the output request from the triage information storage unit to the input / output terminal via the network. To achieve the above objectives, the triage management program of this disclosure can be configured to enable the computer of a triage management device, which comprises an input / output terminal and a triage management device connectable to the input / output terminal via a network, to store triage information, including information about injured persons and information about triage, input from the input / output terminal via the network, in a triage information storage unit, and to enable the output of the triage information corresponding to the output request from the triage information storage unit to the input / output terminal via the network in response to an output request for the triage information of the injured person from the input / output terminal. To achieve the above objective, the computer-readable storage medium of this disclosure is characterized by storing the above program. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] The Triage Management System (TMS) of this embodiment manages triage information, including information on injured persons (IP) and information related to triage, when injured persons (IP) (see Figure 1) are identified during disasters or at large-scale accident sites. Triage is a system that determines the order of treatment and transport, and each injured or ill patient is assigned a triage category (0, I, II, III), which will be described later, as a basis for making these decisions.

[0012] The triage management system of this embodiment is intended to be used in conjunction with a triage tag TT (see Figure 1) attached to the injured person's IP, but the triage management system may also be used alone. Although the triage tag TT is generally known and therefore not illustrated, the front side contains the number, the injured person's name, age, gender, address, telephone number, date and time of triage, person performing the triage, name of transporting agency, name of receiving medical institution, location of triage, triage agency, symptoms, name of illness, whether or not the person is pregnant, and triage category. The back side displays a diagram of a human body where notes regarding transport and use, injured areas, etc., are recorded.

[0013] Furthermore, in addition to the entry fields, the triage classification section has color-coded indicators, allowing for confirmation of the injured person's triage classification by color by tearing off the non-applicable classification section. Typically, the triage tag TT comes in a set of three: the first is for the disaster site, the second for the transport agency, and the third is the main body kept at the receiving institution.

[0014] The following describes the triage management system (TMS) according to an embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the triage management system TMS comprises an input / output terminal 10 and a triage management device 20 that can be connected to the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT. The triage management device 20 stores triage information, including information about injured persons' IPs and triage information, which is input from the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT, in the triage information storage unit 30 in association with the injured person's IP. Furthermore, when an output request for triage information of an injured person's IP is received from the input / output terminal 10, the device can output the triage information corresponding to the output request from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 to the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT.

[0015] Therefore, triage information can be viewed from each input / output terminal 10, and triage information can be centrally managed. In addition, the input / output terminal 10 simply inputs and outputs triage information, eliminating the need for special measuring equipment and thus reducing the economic burden.

[0016] The input / output terminal 10 is capable of inputting and outputting triage information and other data to the triage management device 20 via the network NT. The input / output terminal 10 includes a portable terminal 11 used by the triage implementer. Furthermore, the input / output terminal 10 includes a first management terminal 12 installed at the facility where the injured / ill IP is housed. Furthermore, the input / output terminal 10 includes a second management terminal 13 used by organizations involved in the transport of injured or ill patients (IP).

[0017] The mobile terminal 11 is a terminal used by the triage operator, and examples include so-called smart devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals. The mobile terminal 11 is capable of inputting and outputting triage information, including information about injured persons' IPs and information about the triage of injured persons' IPs, as triage information via the network NT, and includes a triage information transmission unit 111 (see Figure 2) that transmits the triage information to the triage management device 20.

[0018] Furthermore, the first management terminal 12 is installed at an institution where injured or ill IPs are housed, and this institution includes medical facilities. The second management terminal 13 is installed at an institution involved in the transportation of injured or ill IPs, and this institution includes administrative agencies such as fire departments and local governments involved in disaster relief. Both management terminals 12 and 13 are terminals capable of inputting and outputting triage information, and use personal computers (hereinafter referred to as PCs), and are equipped with triage information transmission units 121, 121 (see Figure 3) similar to the triage information transmission unit 111.

[0019] Those who perform triage include medical personnel (HP) and paramedics (PP) at the disaster site, paramedics (PP) at transport facilities, and medical personnel (HP) at the medical institutions to which injured persons (IP) are transported. In other words, triage information can be entered for injured persons (IP) at any time, and in addition to registering injured persons (IP) and entering triage information at that time, information such as the symptoms of injured persons (IP) can be updated at any time.

[0020] As described above, in the triage management system TMS of this embodiment, the mobile terminal 11 used by the triage operator can be a so-called smart device such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, thus eliminating the need for special measuring equipment, reducing the economic burden, and increasing versatility. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the application for inputting and outputting triage information on the mobile terminal 11 is a so-called web application. This also reduces the required storage capacity and economic burden on the mobile terminal 11 compared to having each mobile terminal 11 download an application, and increases versatility. It should be noted that implementation is also possible by having each mobile terminal 11 download an application.

[0021] In addition, triage information can be viewed on a mobile terminal 11 used by the triage provider, a first management terminal 12 installed in a medical institution, and a second management terminal 13 installed in an administrative agency. Therefore, in the event of a disaster, it is possible to coordinate with triage implementers, medical personnel (HP), and emergency medical personnel (PP) to determine how to deploy them, thereby achieving a high level of emergency response capability.

[0022] Furthermore, Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal 11, and Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the first management terminal 12. Note that the configuration of the second management terminal 13 is the same as that of the first management terminal 12 and has the same configuration, so it is not shown. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the input / output terminals 10 (mobile terminal 11, dual management terminals 12 and 13) are equipped with triage information transmission units 111 and 121 that transmit information regarding injured / ill person IPs and triage information as triage information via the network NT in response to operations on the input / output terminals 10. In Figures 2 and 3, these triage information transmission units 111 and 121 are shown as being included in the mobile terminal 11 and dual management terminals 12 and 13, respectively, but they may also be configured to function on a web application on a server on the web.

[0023] Furthermore, the input / output terminals 10 (portable terminal 11, dual management terminals 12, 13) are equipped with output request transmission units 112 and 122 that, in response to operations on the input / output terminals 10, request the output of triage information from the triage management device 20 via the network NT. Note that the output request transmission units 112 and 122 each include those that function on a web application on a server on the web, etc., in response to operations on the input / output terminals 10.

[0024] The triage management device 20 is a computer 100 (see Figure 28) that can communicate with the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT, and is a well-known device having an input device 101, a display device 102, a central processing unit 103, a storage device 104, and a bus 105, and can utilize servers or cloud computing. The triage management device 20 stores triage information, including information about injured persons' IPs and triage information, input from the triage information transmission units 111 and 121, in the triage information storage unit 30 for each injured person's IP. Furthermore, the triage management device 20 manages the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 and, in response to an output request for triage information of an injured person's IP from the input / output terminal 10, can output the triage information corresponding to the output request from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 to the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT from the triage information output unit 201. In other words, the input / output terminal 10 can view the triage information of injured persons' IPs.

[0025] The triage information includes, or is not limited to, the name, age, gender, address, and telephone number of the injured person's IP. In this embodiment, the information of the injured person's IP includes the name, age, gender, address, and telephone number of the injured person's IP. Furthermore, triage information includes triage classification as information related to triage. Triage information also includes, as information related to triage, one or all of the following: transporting agency, receiving medical institution, triage implementer, triage location, triage implementing agency, symptoms, and name of injury / illness. Thus, because triage information includes detailed information about the injured person's IP (Injury Perception) and triage information, therapists and transporters can respond appropriately.

[0026] Furthermore, the triage information may include location information of the injured person's IP address as triage-related information. This location information is detected based on the Global Positioning System (hereinafter referred to as GPS) function of the mobile terminal 11 when registering and updating triage information using the mobile terminal 11. In this embodiment, when registering or updating triage information using the mobile terminal 11, location information detected by the GPS function is recorded in the triage management device 20. Therefore, the triage information records the location information at the time of registration or updating of the patient IP's triage information as the latest location information, enabling efficient and streamlined transport and medical treatment for the patient IP. In addition, mobile terminals 11 generally have GPS functionality, allowing for the use of more accurate location information compared to manually entering addresses, thus enabling even more efficient medical and transport operations.

[0027] In addition, the information regarding the injured person's IP address included in the triage information may include facial photographs of the injured person's IP address taken by the mobile device 11. Therefore, even if the triage tag TT is damaged or lost, the injured person IP can be identified by checking the facial photograph using the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30.

[0028] The input / output terminal 10 and the triage management device 20 will be described in detail below. First, let's explain how the input / output terminal 10 accesses the triage management device 20. Specifically, the input / output terminal 10 accesses the triage management device 20 to send triage information to the triage management device 20 and to send triage information from the triage management device 20. When accessing the device, the input / output terminal 10 sends a password and a personal identification number that has been assigned to each user of the input / output terminal 10 in advance. Access is permitted only if these are registered in advance.

[0029] Therefore, regarding this access, the mobile terminal 11 is equipped with an access request transmission unit 113 that transmits a password for accessing the triage management device 20, in addition to a personal identification number, in response to the operation of the mobile terminal 11 as an input / output terminal 10 (see Figure 2). In addition, both management terminals 12 and 13 are equipped with an access request transmission unit 123 that transmits a password for accessing the triage management device 20, in addition to a personal identification number, in response to the operation of both management terminals 12 and 13 as input / output terminals 10 (see Figure 3). Furthermore, the triage management device 20 includes an access permission unit 202 that checks whether the password and personal identification number entered from the access request transmission units 113 and 123 are pre-registered, and if they are pre-registered, it grants access to each terminal 11, 12, and 13 of the input / output terminal 10. The password may be associated with the personal identification number, or it may be assigned to a specific group or organization. In addition, granting this access may require at least sending the password and confirming whether this password is registered. Although the access request transmission units 113 and 123 are shown as being included in the input / output terminal 10 in Figure 2, they also include those that function on a web server or the like in a web application in response to operations on the input / output terminal 10.

[0030] In detail, when the access request transmission unit 113 of the mobile terminal 11 transmits a password and identification number, it displays a login screen 400a, as shown in Figure 5, on the screen 400 of the mobile terminal 11. This login screen 400a displays an ID and password input screen that includes an input field (dialog box) 401 for the personal identification number, an input field 402 for the password, and a login operation area 403. Then, medical personnel and others using the mobile terminal 11 enter the necessary information in the respective input fields 401 and 402 and perform a press operation on the login operation area 403, at which point the password and personal identification number are transmitted from the access request transmission unit 113 to the triage management device 20. Here, the press operation does not refer to actually pressing down a switch, but rather to a tap operation in the case of the mobile terminal 11, and to a click operation by positioning a pointer using a mouse or similar device in the case of each management terminal 12, 13. Furthermore, the configuration of the access request transmission unit 123 of each management terminal 12, 13 is the same as that of the access request transmission unit 113. Therefore, when the login screen 400a shown in Figure 5 is displayed, information is entered into the respective fields 401 and 402, and the login operation area 403 is pressed, the password and personal identification number are transmitted.

[0031] The personal identification number and password are pre-associated and stored in the triage information storage unit 30. Furthermore, although screen 400 is shown as the screen of the mobile terminal 11, both management terminals 12 and 13 also have screens; therefore, in the following description, screen 400 will be described as being present on both the mobile terminal 11 and both management terminals 12 and 13.

[0032] Here, the processing flow between the input / output terminal 10 and the triage management device 20 regarding the above access permission, that is, the operation based on the installed program, will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 6. In Figure 6, the processing flow in the access request transmission units 113 and 123 of the input / output terminal 10 is shown on the left side of the page, and the processing flow in the access permission unit 202 of the triage management device 20 is shown on the right side of the page.

[0033] In the access request transmission units 113 and 123, first in step S501, the login screen 400a shown in Figure 5 is displayed on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10. After the user of the input / output terminal 10 enters their personal identification number and password (S502), in step S503, it is determined whether or not a login operation has been performed. If a login operation has been performed, the access request transmission units 113 and 123 transmit the password and identification number (S504).

[0034] Meanwhile, the access permission unit 202 of the triage management device 20 verifies whether the password and personal identification number entered from the access request transmission units 113 and 123 are pre-registered (S601). The verification result, that is, the login permission / failure result, which is the result of whether or not login is permitted, is returned to the input / output terminal 10 (S602). Then, the input / output terminal 10 determines whether or not login is permitted (S505). If permitted, it proceeds to step S506 to the triage menu screen 400b (see Figure 7). If login is not permitted, it proceeds to step S507 to display a message indicating that the identification number or password is incorrect. Note that on the triage menu screen 400b in step S506, operations can be performed to input (register) the triage information for the first time or to request the triage information to be displayed on screen 400.

[0035] As described above, accessing the triage management device 20 requires password verification, thereby suppressing unauthorized access and information leakage. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to the password, a personal identification number is also verified, further enhancing the ability to suppress unauthorized access and information leakage.

[0036] Next, we will explain the triage menu screen 400b. Figure 7 shows the triage menu screen 400b displayed on screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10, and displays the triage determination operation area 411, the triage tag registration operation area 412, the triage tag map operation area 413, the triage tag list operation area 414, the identification code reading operation area 415, and the logout operation area 416.

[0037] The triage determination operation area 411 is the area used when performing triage determination. Generally, triage personnel determine the severity of the patient's injury / illness (IP) and display the result on the triage tag (TT). Therefore, in order to manage triage information in the triage management device 20, the triage operator enters the necessary information into the mobile terminal 11 or each management terminal 12, 13 in parallel with filling in the required information on the triage tag TT, and then transmits it to the triage management device 20.

[0038] The triage tag registration operation area 412 is an area for performing a click operation to transition to the triage tag registration management screen 500 for inputting triage information when registering triage information. The triage tag map operation area 413 is an area where a press operation is performed to transition to the map screen 600, which will be described later. The triage tag list operation area 414 is an area where you perform a click operation to display a list of injured / ill person IP addresses. The identification code reading operation area 415 is an area where a press operation is performed to read the identification code, which will be described later. The logout operation area 416 is the area where the input and display of triage information are completed, and where the press operation is performed when logging out. As described above, the triage menu screen 400b is simple and easy to use, and each operation area 411 to 416 is also easy to understand and easy to operate.

[0039] Next, we will explain the classification determination support process that is executed when the triage determination operation area 411 is pressed down. In other words, in the triage management system TMS of this embodiment, the portable terminal 11 of the input / output terminal 10 is equipped with a triage classification determination assistance unit 114 that assists in determining the triage classification of the injured person's IP in response to the operation of the portable terminal 11 (see Figure 2). The triage classification determination assistance unit 114 may be provided in either or both of the management terminals 12 and 13. The triage classification determination assistance unit 114 may also function on a web application on a server on the web in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. The triage classification determination support unit 114 includes a question display unit 114a that displays questions for triage determination on the screen 400 of the mobile terminal 11, an answer reception unit 114b that receives answers to the questions from the triage operator through input operations, and a classification determination unit 114c that determines the triage classification based on the answers received by the answer reception unit 114b. Furthermore, the triage classification determination performed by the triage classification determination auxiliary unit 114 is based on the START method.

[0040] This triage classification is divided into "Category I," "Category II," "Category III," "Category 0," and "No Category," in order of highest treatment priority. In other words, Category I is assigned to patients in the highest priority treatment group (IP) who require emergency treatment. Category II is assigned to patients in the emergency treatment group who require semi-emergency treatment. Category III is assigned to patients with injuries or illnesses that are not requiring treatment or only require minor treatment, and who are able to await treatment. Category 0 is assigned to patients with injuries or illnesses that are deceased or beyond resuscitation and are difficult to treat. "No classification" is assigned to uninjured injured / ill patients (IPs) who are subject to triage. In this embodiment, the triage classification is determined based on the START method, but other methods may also be used. That is, while the START method allows for smooth classification, for example, when used in a medical institution, the classification may be determined in more detail based on the PAT method.

[0041] Next, the flow of the triage determination process based on the program that performs the classification determination by the triage classification determination auxiliary unit 114 will be explained based on the flowcharts in Figures 8, 9, and 10. In the first step S511 of the triage determination process, the first question screen 400c shown in Figure 11 is displayed. This first question screen 400c displays "Can you walk?" along with the operation areas 40a for "Yes", 40b for "No", and 40c for "Back". Therefore, the triage administrator will ask the injured or ill patient IP (injured or ill person) being triaged, or observe the patient IP's condition, and answer the question "Can you walk?" by pressing either the "Yes" operation area 40a or the "No" operation area 40b. Additionally, pressing the "Back" operation area 40c will return the user to the previous screen if they wish to repeat the operation.

[0042] In the next step, S512, the triage administrator determines whether the person can walk or not based on their input. If the person can walk, the process proceeds to step S513; otherwise, it proceeds to step S517. In step S513, the second question screen displays "Are you injured?". This second question screen, like the first question screen 400c shown in Figure 11, displays the question and the "Yes," "No," and "Back" operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c. Since it differs only in the content of the question from the first question screen 400c, its illustration is omitted. Similarly, illustrations of the other question screens described below are also omitted.

[0043] In response to the display of the second question screen, the triage operator asks the injured or ill IP subject to triage assessment, or observes the symptoms of the injured or ill IP subject, and then presses either the "yes" or "no" button in the respective operation areas 40a or 40b to answer the question "Are you injured?". Therefore, in the next step S514, it is determined whether or not there is an injury based on the response entered by the triage operator. If there is an injury, the process proceeds to step S515; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S516. In step S515, which is taken if there is an injury, the judgment result display screen 400d displays "Category III". As shown in Figure 12, the judgment result display screen 400d displays the judgment result, a question about whether or not to register the judgment result information, and operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for responding to the question: "Yes", "No", and "Back". If the "Yes" operation area 40a is pressed down, the corresponding triage category is registered as information for the injured / ill person's IP address to be triaged, and the user transitions to the triage tag registration management screen 500, which will be described later. If the "No" operation area 40b is pressed down, the user transitions to the triage menu screen 400b. If the "Back" operation area 40c is pressed down, the user returns to the previous screen.

[0044] On the other hand, if there are no injuries, in step S516, the judgment result display screen 400e shown in Figure 13 displays the triage category as "None" and indicates that the judgment result is unharmed, along with the operation areas 40d for "Go to menu screen" and 40c for "Back". If the operation area 40d for "Go to menu screen" is pressed down, the triage menu screen 400b is displayed, and if the operation area 40b for "Back" is pressed down, the user returns to the previous screen. If the triage category is "None," the patient does not fall under a triage category requiring treatment, and the system will return to the triage menu screen 400b without registering a triage category.

[0045] In step S512, if the answer to the question "Can you walk?" is "No (cannot walk)", step S517 proceeds to display a third question screen. This third question screen displays "Is he breathing?". The triage administrator then observes the injured person IP to be triaged and presses either "Yes" or "No" in response to the question "Is he breathing?". Alternatively, they can select "Back".

[0046] Therefore, in the next step S518, it is determined whether or not the triage operator's input indicates that the person is breathing. If the person is not breathing, the process proceeds to step S519; if the person is breathing, the process proceeds to step S520. In step S519, which is followed if the injured patient IP is not breathing, a fourth question screen is displayed. This fourth question screen displays the question, "After securing the airway?". The triage practitioner then answers the question, "After securing the airway?" by pressing either "Yes" or "No" in the operation areas 40a and 40b. In the next step, S521, it is determined whether the response entered by the triage provider indicates that the airway has been secured or not. If the airway has been secured, the process proceeds to step S522; otherwise, it proceeds to step S523.

[0047] Then, in step S522, which proceeds if the triage operator answers "Yes (after securing the airway)," the judgment result display screen displays "Category I," and displays a question asking whether to register the judgment result, along with operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for "Yes," "No," and "Back." Note that the judgment result display screen differs from the judgment result display screen 400d shown in Figure 12 only in the judgment result, so it is omitted from the illustration. The judgment result display screen described later is also omitted from the illustration. Furthermore, if the "Yes" operation area 40a is pressed down on the judgment result display screen displayed in step S522, the corresponding triage category is registered as information for the injured / ill person IP targeted for triage and the process transitions to the triage tag registration management screen 500. If the "No" operation area 40b is pressed down, the process transitions to the triage menu screen 400b. If the "Back" operation area 40c is pressed down, the process returns to the previous screen.

[0048] On the other hand, in step S523, which proceeds if the triage provider's answer to the question in step S521 is "No (not after securing the airway)," the judgment result display screen displays "Category 0," and a question is displayed asking whether to register the judgment result, and operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for "Yes," "No," and "Back" are displayed. In this case as well, if the user presses down the "Yes" operation area 40a regarding registration, the corresponding triage category is registered as information for the IP address of the patient being triaged and the user transitions to the triage tag registration management screen 500 described later. If the user presses down "No," the user transitions to the triage menu screen 400b, and if the user presses down "Back," the user returns to the previous screen.

[0049] In step S518, if the answer is "yes," step S520 proceeds to display the fifth question screen. This fifth question screen displays "Please check the respiratory rate. Is the respiratory rate 30 or more per minute?" and also displays the operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for "yes," "no," and "back." The triage operator then measures the respiratory rate of the patient IP to be triaged and answers the question "Is the respiratory rate 30 or more per minute?" by pressing either the "yes" (30 or more) or "no" (less than 30) operation area 40a or 40b.

[0050] Then, in the next step S524, based on the answers entered by the triage operator, it is determined whether the respiratory rate per minute is 30 or more ("yes"). If it is 30 or more, proceed to step S525; if it is less than 30 ("no"), proceed to step S526.

[0051] In step S525, which proceeds if the respiratory rate is 30 / min or higher, the judgment result display screen displays "Category I," a question asking whether to register category information, and the operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c, respectively, which allow for "Yes," "No," and "Back," are displayed. On the other hand, in step S526, which proceeds if the respiratory rate is less than 30 / min, the sixth question screen displays the question "After pressing the nail bed for 5 seconds, was there redness for 2 seconds or more?", and also displays the operation areas 40a and 40b with "Yes", "No", and "Back". Therefore, the triage administrator presses the nail bed of the patient's IP (injury presenting to the injured person) to be triaged for 5 seconds to measure whether redness persists for 2 seconds or more, and then, in response to the question "After pressing the nail bed for 5 seconds, was there redness for 2 seconds or more?", they press down on either the operational area 40a or 40b for "Yes" (2 seconds or more) or "No" (less than 2 seconds), or press the "Back" button.

[0052] Then, in the next step S527, based on the answers entered by the triage practitioner, it is determined whether the redness of the nail bed after 5 seconds of pressure lasts for 2 seconds or more. If it lasts for 2 seconds or more, the process proceeds to step S528, where "Category I" is displayed on the determination result display screen, along with a question asking whether to register or not, and the operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c, respectively, displaying "Yes," "No," and "Back." In this case as well, if you click "Yes" in response to the question of whether or not to register, the corresponding triage category will be registered as information for the IP address of the patient to be triaged and you will be redirected to the triage tag registration management screen 500 described below. If you click "No," you will be redirected to the triage menu screen 400b. If you click "Back," you will be returned to the previous screen.

[0053] On the other hand, if the answer to step S527 is given in less than 2 seconds, the process proceeds to step S529, where the question "Can you follow simple instructions?" is displayed on the seventh question screen, along with the operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for "Yes," "No," and "Back." Therefore, the triage officer gives a simple instruction to the injured or ill person (IP) who is subject to triage and determines whether they can follow it. A simple instruction might be something like, "Please hold my hand" or "Please tell me your birthday." The triage operator then presses down the "Yes" button in the 40a area if the injured person IP (Patient IP) complies with the instructions, and presses down the "No" button in the 40b area if the patient does not comply. If the "Back" button in the 40c area is pressed, the user returns to the previous screen.

[0054] Then, in the next step S530, based on the answers entered by the triage operator, it is determined whether the injured person IP can follow instructions. If they can follow instructions (yes), the process proceeds to step S531, where "Category II" is displayed on the determination result display screen, along with a question about registration status and the display of operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c for "Yes," "No," and "Back." In this case as well, if the user clicks down the "Yes" operation area 40a regarding registration status, the corresponding triage category is registered as information for the injured person IP subject to triage, and the process transitions to the triage tag registration management screen 500 described later. If the user clicks down the "No" operation area 40b, the process transitions to the triage menu screen 400b. If the user clicks down the "Back" operation area 40c, the process returns to the previous screen.

[0055] On the other hand, if the answer to step S530 is "No" (cannot follow instructions), the process proceeds to step S532, where "Category I" is displayed on the judgment result display screen, and a question about registration status is displayed, along with the operation areas 40a, 40b, and 40c labeled "Yes," "No," and "Back." In this case as well, if the user presses down the "Yes" operation area 40a in response to the question about registration status, the corresponding triage category is registered as information for the injured / disabled person's IP address and the process transitions to the triage tag registration management screen 500 described later. If the user presses down the "No" operation area 40b, the process transitions to the triage menu screen 400b. If the user presses down the "Back" operation area 40c, the process returns to the previous screen.

[0056] As explained above, the triage operator answers "yes" or "no" to each question displayed on the screen 400 of the mobile terminal 11 based on the triage determination process performed by the triage classification determination support unit 114. The triage classification is then displayed on the screen 400, and the user is redirected to the triage tag registration management screen 500.

[0057] Thus, since the triage classification is determined by the triage operator based on the triage classification determination process performed by the triage classification determination support unit 114, a uniform determination can be made regardless of the triage operator's experience level or skill level. Therefore, a stable determination without variability can be made. In addition, since the START method is used for this triage determination, the determination can be made smoothly.

[0058] <Registration of Triage Information> Next, we will explain how to send and register triage information for triage subjects based on the triage tag registration management screen 500. (Identification code) Before explaining the triage tag registration process, let's first describe the identification code used for registration in this embodiment.

[0059] In the input / output terminal 10, each management terminal 12, 13 is equipped with an identification code issuance control unit 124 that controls the issuance of an identification code IDC to which a code identification number is assigned in response to the operation of each terminal 12, 13 (see Figure 3). The triage information includes the code identification number assigned to the identification code IDC output from the identification code issuance control unit 124. Furthermore, the triage management device 20 includes an identification code registration management unit 203 (see Figure 4) that pre-registers the identification code IDC output from the identification code issuance control unit 124.

[0060] The identification code issuance control unit 124 generates an identification code IDC and issues the identification code IDC by printing it using the printer 40. The identification code (IDC) can be any existing type, such as a numeric code, barcode, or QR code (registered trademark), but in this embodiment, a QR code (registered trademark) is used. Therefore, the identification code registration management unit 203 of the triage management device 20 stores the identification code IDC generated by the identification code issuance control unit 124 in the triage information storage unit 30, along with the code identification number associated with the identification code IDC.

[0061] Here, it is preferable to coordinate the issuance of identification codes (IDCs) and code identification numbers by the identification code issuance control unit 124 of each management terminal 12, 13 with the management of identification codes (IDCs) and code identification numbers by the identification code registration management unit 203 of the triage management device 20.

[0062] The identification codes and code identification numbers described above are included in the triage information and are used to identify the patient's IP address. Therefore, medical personnel such as HP can identify a patient's IP address by reading the identification code attached to or written on the triage tag TT or the patient's IP address using a mobile device 11. Furthermore, as will be described later, the triage information of the corresponding patient's IP address can be confirmed based on the identification code. Therefore, compared to visually inspecting paper triage tags (TT) to confirm each piece of information included in the triage data, it is easier and smoother to confirm the patient's IP (Injury Point) and triage information, allowing for more efficient treatment.

[0063] Figure 14 shows the flow of the identification code generation process, which involves linking the identification code issuance control unit 124 and the identification code registration management unit 203. In the first step S541, the number of identification code IDCs to be issued is specified by the identification code issuance control unit 124 of either of the management terminals 12 or 13. In other words, both medical institutions and administrative agencies can issue identification code IDCs as needed. In this case, a screen for specifying the number of IDCs to be issued is displayed on the screens of both management terminals 12 or 13, and after the number of IDCs to be issued is entered, information regarding the number of IDCs is transmitted to the triage management device 20. In the next step S641, the identification code registration management unit 203 searches for unissued code identification numbers. Then, in the next step S642, the identification code registration management unit 203 transmits the number of unissued code identification numbers equal to the number of issued codes to one of the two management terminals 12 or 13 that transmitted the information regarding the number of identification code IDCs. In the next step S542, the identification code issuance control unit 124 creates an identification code IDC associated with each code identification number input from the triage management device 20. Then, in the next step S543, a sticker with the identification code IDC printed on it is printed by the printer 40, and the information of the identification code IDC and the code identification number is transmitted to the triage management device 20. In step S643, the identification code registration management unit 203 of the triage management device 20 registers the entered identification code IDC and code identification number. In step S543, the sticker printed with the identification code IDC can be attached to the triage tag TT or the injured person's IP. Alternatively, the identification code IDC can be printed directly onto the triage tag TT.

[0064] As described above, in the triage management system TMS of this embodiment, the identification code issuance control unit 124 controls the triage management device 20 to output an assignment request for the identification code IDC as an output request when an identification code IDC is issued, and controls the output of an assignment request for a code identification number as this assignment request. Then, when the identification code registration management unit 203 of the triage management device 20 receives a request to assign a code identification number, it searches for an unissued code identification number and outputs it to the identification code issuance control unit 124. Furthermore, the identification code issuance control unit 124 performs control to issue the identification code IDC by assigning an unissued code identification number to the identification code IDC.

[0065] Therefore, it is possible to prevent the problem of duplicate issuance of already issued code identification numbers in the identification code. Furthermore, the identification code issuance control unit 124 may control the triage management device 20 to output an identification code assignment request as an output request when issuing an identification code IDC. The identification code registration management unit 203 of the triage management device 20 may then search for unissued identification code IDCs when it receives an identification code assignment request, output an unissued identification code IDC with an unissued code identification number to the identification code issuance control unit 124, and issue the unissued identification code IDC with the input unissued code identification number.

[0066] Furthermore, the identification code issuance control unit 124 controls the issuance of identification codes, to which a code identification number has been assigned, by printing it onto a sticker that can be attached to the body of a triage tag TT or an injured person IP. At the same time, the identification code issuance control unit 124 prints the code identification number onto the sticker. Therefore, the printed identification code is less likely to get lost, and especially when attached to the injured person's IP, even if the triage tag TT is torn or lost, the injured person's IP can still be identified by the identification code.

[0067] Furthermore, the triage information includes the identification code and code identification number read by the mobile terminal 11. Therefore, it becomes easier to register and search for the triage information of injured or ill individuals. In addition, we have started using QR codes (registered trademark) as identification codes. Therefore, it becomes easy to issue a large number of identification codes and to attach various kinds of information to them.

[0068] (Entering triage information) The following describes the transmission and registration of triage information using the triage tag registration management screen 500. While the input and transmission of this triage information is performed on the input / output terminal 10, it is primarily performed initially at the disaster site using the mobile terminal 11. Therefore, the explanation will use the case of input via the mobile terminal 11 as an example. This triage tag registration management screen 500 is displayed when the triage tag registration operation area 412 is pressed down on the triage menu screen 400b shown in Figure 7, and when a triage classification based on triage determination is registered.

[0069] The Triage Tag Registration Management Screen 500 is long vertically because it requires a large amount of input for triage information, and users must scroll from top to bottom to input and confirm information. Because the Triage Tag Registration Management Screen 500 is so long vertically, it is described in separate Figures 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.

[0070] As shown in Figure 15, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes, from top to bottom, an identification code display unit 501, an identification number display unit 502, and a face photograph display unit 503. In addition, the registration operation area 530 and the back operation area 540 are always displayed at the bottom of the triage tag registration management screen 500 without scrolling. The identification code display unit 501 displays the identification code IDC read by the mobile terminal 11. The identification number display unit 502 may automatically display the code identification number associated with the identification code IDC, or it may be configured to accept the tag identification number written on the triage tag TT attached to the injured person IP. The facial image display unit 503 displays a facial image of the injured or ill person IP, which was captured by the camera function of the mobile terminal 11.

[0071] Furthermore, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes a category input section 504, a current status input section 505, an identification number input section 506, a name input section 507, an age input section 508, and a gender input section 509, as shown in Figure 16. When the classification determination is performed by the triage classification determination support unit 114, the classification entered by the classification determination is automatically entered into the classification input unit 504. Alternatively, the classification may be entered manually at the discretion of the medical professional operating the mobile terminal 11, such as HP.

[0072] The current status input unit 505 is where the current status is entered. For example, the status can be entered as: not yet triaged, triaged, in transit, transport completed, in treatment, treatment completed, etc. When an identification code IDC is read, the identification code input unit 506 receives the code identification number associated with the identification code IDC. If an identification number is already written on the triage tag TT, that tag identification number is entered. The name input section 507, age input section 508, and gender input section 509 are used to input the name, age, and gender of the patient IP to be triaged, respectively.

[0073] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 17, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes an address input section 510, a telephone number input section 511, a transport agency input section 512, and a receiving medical institution input section 513. The address input section 510 and the telephone number input section 511 are used to input the address and telephone number of the patient(s) to be triaged. The transport agency input section 512 is used to input the name of the agency that transported the patient IP subject to triage. The input section 513 for the receiving medical institution is used to input the name of the medical institution that received the patient IP subject to triage.

[0074] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 18, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes a triage implementer input section 514, a triage implementation location input section 515, a triage implementing organization input section 516, and a symptom / illness name input section 517. The triage operator input section 514 is used to input the name and identification number of the triage operator. The triage location input unit 515 is used to input the location where triage was performed (for example, the disaster site, transportation facilities, or accommodation locations). In this embodiment, the GPS function of the mobile terminal 11 used to input triage information reads the location information detected at the time of triage, i.e., at the time of registration or update of the triage information. The triage implementing agency input section 516 is used to input the name of the agency that performed the triage. Examples of agency names include the agency to which medical personnel (HP) at the disaster site belong, the agency to which paramedics (PP) belong (fire department, Self-Defense Forces), and the name of the medical institution where the injured were taken. The symptom and illness name input section 517 is used to input the symptoms and illness name of the patient IP to be triaged.

[0075] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 19, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes a special notes input section 518 and a vital signs input section 519. The special notes input section 518 is used to input information necessary for transport and treatment, such as allergies and details of emergency treatment. The vital signs input section 519 is used to input the vital signs of the patient IP being triaged: "pulse," "blood pressure," "respiration," "body temperature," and "JCS." "JCS" stands for Japan Coma Scale, and is used to input an assessment of consciousness impairment and level of consciousness.

[0076] Furthermore, the triage tag registration management screen 500 includes a human body diagram input unit 520, as shown in Figure 20. This human body diagram input unit 520 displays the injured areas on the human body diagram and writes down the details of the injuries.

[0077] After entering the necessary triage information on the triage tag registration management screen 500 as described above, pressing down the registration operation area 530 will send the triage information entered on the triage tag registration management screen 500 to the triage management device 20. Pressing down the "back" operation area 540 will return you to the screen before displaying the triage tag registration management screen 500.

[0078] (Registration of triage information) Next, the flow of the registration process when triage information entered into the triage tag registration management screen 500 is transmitted to the triage management device 20 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 21. This registration process is also carried out by processing on the mobile terminal 11 and processing on the triage management device 20. Steps S551 and S552 are processes executed on the triage tag registration management screen 500 described above. Step S551 is the input of each piece of information included in the triage information on the triage tag registration management screen 500. Step S552 determines whether or not to register the entered triage information based on whether or not the registration operation area 530 has been pressed down. In step S552, if the user selects "Yes" to register, the process proceeds to step S553, where the user transmits the triage information entered on the triage tag registration management screen 500 from the mobile terminal 11 to the triage management device 20.

[0079] In step S651, the triage management device 20, which has received the triage information, stores (registers) the triage information in the triage information storage unit 30. Then, in the next step S652, the registration status (whether or not the registration was successful) is sent to the mobile terminal 11.

[0080] On the mobile terminal 11 where the registration status was entered, step S554 determines whether the registration was successful or not. If the registration was successful (yes), the process proceeds to step S555, where the screen 400 of the mobile terminal 11 displays that the registration was successful. If the registration was not successful, the process proceeds to step S556, where the screen 400 of the mobile terminal 11 displays that the registration failed.

[0081] As explained above, the triage information, including the information entered into the triage tag registration management screen 500, such as the identification code, code identification number, facial photograph of the injured person IP, triage category, current status, name of the injured person IP, age, gender, address, telephone number, transporting organization, receiving medical institution, triage implementer, location information of the triage implementation site, symptoms, name of injury / illness, special notes, vital signs, and injury location, is stored in the triage information storage unit 30 in association with the injured person IP, identification code, and code identification number. Furthermore, triage information, regarding the patient's IP address, is updated as needed over time, and new information is stored. In this case, the displayed information is updated to the latest information, but past information is stored along with the time it was entered.

[0082] Therefore, in the triage management system TMS of this embodiment, the input / output terminal 10 includes an identification code and a code identification number in the triage information transmitted by the triage information transmission units 111 and 121. The triage management device 20 stores the identification code and code identification number included in the triage information in the triage information storage unit 30, associating them with the triage information of the injured person IP. Therefore, it becomes easier to search for triage information of injured or ill individuals' IP addresses. The triage information transmitted by the triage information transmission units 111 and 121 may also be an identification code or a code identification number, and the triage management device 20 may associate the transmitted identification code or code identification number with the triage information of the injured person IP and store it in the triage information storage unit 30.

[0083] <Search and display triage information> The triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 can be retrieved and transmitted upon output requests from each of the input / output terminals 11, 12, and 13 of the input / output terminal 10, and displayed on the screens 400 of each terminal 11, 12, and 13.

[0084] The basic processing flow for searching and transmitting this triage information based on the output request is explained in the flowchart in Figure 22. In step S561, a request to retrieve triage information for the injured person IP is sent to the triage management device 20 as an output request. In addition, this search request may include the name of the injured / ill IP when identifying the injured / ill IP, but it can also include other methods such as a search request for triage information of an injured / ill IP using a code identification number assigned to an identification code, a search request for triage information of an injured / ill IP using a tag identification number assigned to a triage tag TT, a search request for triage information of an injured / ill IP using a triage category, a search request for triage information of an injured / ill IP with location information included in a specified area, or a search request for triage information of an injured / ill IP admitted to a hospital to which it was transported. Furthermore, a search request based on triage classification would be, for example, a request to search for triage information for a patient IP in a specific triage classification, such as the triage information for a patient IP in classification 1 requiring emergency treatment. In this case, multiple patient IPs may be included. Furthermore, a search request for triage information of injured or ill IPs that have location information included in a specified area means a search request for triage information of injured or ill IPs that are located in a specified area, for example, a specified town. In this case as well, there is a possibility that triage information of multiple injured or ill IPs may be included. Similarly, when requesting a search for triage information for an injured or ill patient IP address admitted to a specific hospital, it is possible that the search will include triage information for multiple injured or ill patient IP addresses.

[0085] In step S661, the triage management device 20, which has received a search request, searches for triage information of injured or ill persons IP that matches the search criteria from the data stored in the triage information storage unit 30. In the next step, S662, the triage information of the searched patient IP is sent to the input / output terminal 10 that sent the search request.

[0086] In the input / output terminal 10, which receives the triage information of the searched patient IP address, the search results patient IP address and triage information are displayed on the screen 400 by the processing in step S562. In this case, information regarding the injured person's IP address and triage information can be displayed as triage information, similar to that shown on the triage tag registration management screen 500. Furthermore, if any information changes, the updated information can be used. For example, this could include cases where treatment is administered after being previously untreated, changes in the patient's IP symptoms, or a change in the hospital where the patient is being treated.

[0087] If the search results include multiple patient IP addresses, the patient IP addresses will be displayed in a list. Then, by selecting a specific patient IP address from the list and issuing a query request for that IP address, the triage information for that specific patient IP address will be searched and displayed.

[0088] The triage management system that retrieves triage information in the flowchart of Figure 22, as described above, can be implemented by the triage management systems of the embodiments listed below.

[0089] The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit an identification code and / or code identification number as an output request in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. The triage management device 20 is a triage management system according to an embodiment that includes a request response control unit 204 that performs control to search for triage information including the input identification code and / or code identification number from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 and transmit it to the input / output terminal 10.

[0090] The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit the tag identification number assigned to the triage tag TT as an output request in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. A triage management system in an embodiment in which the request response control unit 204 of the triage management device 20 searches for triage information containing the input tag identification number from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 and controls outputting it to the input / output terminal 10.

[0091] The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit one or more pieces of information contained in the patient IP as an output request in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. A triage management system in an embodiment in which the request response control unit 204 of the triage management device 20 searches for triage information, including information about the injured person's IP address as an input output request, from among the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30, and controls the output to the input / output terminal 10.

[0092] The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit one or more pieces of information included in the triage information as an output request in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. The triage management system according to an embodiment in which the request response control unit 204 of the triage management device 20 searches for triage information containing information about the input triage from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 and controls outputting it to the input / output terminal 10.

[0093] As described above, in the triage management system of this embodiment, triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30 can be searched using various search conditions and viewed on the input / output terminal 10. Therefore, various searches of triage information are possible, and it is highly user-friendly.

[0094] <Map Display> The following is an example of displaying patient IP information on a map. When the search includes regional information as part of the output request, when searching for injured or ill person IPs within a specified area, or when the location of an injured or ill person's IP address is desired, it is preferable to display the results on a map.

[0095] Therefore, an embodiment in which triage information is displayed based on location information will be described. In other words, the triage management system of the embodiment described below is The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit location information to be displayed on the map on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10 as an output request, in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10, as triage-related information. The request response control unit 204 of the triage management device 20 searches for the triage information, including the input location information, from the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30, and outputs it to the input / output terminal 10. The map display control units 115 and 125 control the display of the location of the injured person IP in the triage information input based on the location information on the map displayed on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10. Therefore, in this embodiment of the triage management system, the location of the injured person's IP address is displayed on a map, making it easier to grasp the location of the injured person's IP address compared to displaying it as text such as an address. This allows for quicker arrival at the location of the injured person's IP address, for example, when heading to treatment or transport. Furthermore, the map display control units 115 and 125 include those that function via web applications on a web server or the like in response to operations on the input / output terminal 10.

[0096] Furthermore, the triage management system of the embodiment is The output request transmission unit 112 transmits the current location of the mobile terminal 11, obtained based on the GPS function of the mobile terminal 11 in response to the operation of the mobile terminal 11, as location information to be transmitted as an output request. The request response control unit 204 of the triage management device 20 searches for triage information that has corresponding location information on a map within a predetermined range including the current location from among the triage information stored in the triage information storage unit 30, and performs control to output it to the map display control unit 115. The map display control unit 115 controls the display of an icon IC representing the injured person's IP address at the location of the location information included in the input triage information on the map. Therefore, this triage management system displays the location of injured / ill individuals (IPs) on a map, making it easier to understand their location compared to displaying addresses or other text. This allows for quicker arrival at the IP location, for example, when heading to treatment or transport, and also enables quicker determination of the most suitable hospital for transport. Furthermore, since the location of the injured person's IP address is displayed on the map using an icon IC, it becomes easier to accurately determine the location of the injured person's IP address compared to displaying the location using text such as an address.

[0097] Furthermore, it is preferable that the map display control units 115 and 125 perform control to display the triage classification included in the triage information when displaying the location of the injured person IP on the map. Therefore, in addition to the patient's IP (Injury Prescription), the triage classification can also be determined. This allows for efficient transport of critically ill patients, for example.

[0098] Furthermore, it is preferable that the map display control units 115 and 125 display the triage classification by the color of the icon IC indicating the location of the injured person IP. It is even more preferable that the icon IC matches the color used to display the triage classification on the triage tag TT. Therefore, compared to displaying triage classifications using text or other methods, this method saves space and allows for the conveyance of multiple pieces of information. Furthermore, matching the display color of the triage classification in the triage tag TT enhances the recognition of the triage classification.

[0099] Furthermore, it is preferable that the map display control units 115 and 125 also control the display of the name of the injured person IP included in the triage information when displaying the location of the injured person IP on the map. Therefore, during treatment or transport, identity verification becomes more accurate and easier compared to when the patient's name is unknown.

[0100] Figure 23 shows an example of a map screen 600 displayed on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10 by the map display control units 115 and 125 of the triage management system according to the above-described embodiment. This map screen 600 displays a map display unit 601, a tag list display unit 602, a patient selection unit 602a, a triage classification display unit 602b, a patient name display unit 602c, a current status display unit 602d, a detailed operation area 603, a reload operation area 604, and a back operation area 605. Then, icons IC1 and IC2 indicating the location of the injured person IP are displayed on the map display unit 601. Therefore, triage administrators, medical institutions, and administrative agencies can view this map screen 600 to see the location of injured / ill individuals, a list of injured / ill individuals, their names, triage classifications, and their current status.

[0101] Furthermore, the detailed operation area 603 is the area that is pressed down when selecting one of the injured / ill IPs displayed on this map screen 600 and displaying its details. When the detailed operation area 603 is pressed down, the timeline of the selected injured / ill IP is displayed. The reload operation area 604 is an area where a press operation is performed to reload and display the information to be shown on the map screen 600.

[0102] As explained above, the location of injured / ill IPs is displayed on the map using icon ICs, making it easier to accurately determine the location of injured / ill IPs. Furthermore, the timeline of the displayed injured / ill IPs can also be viewed on the map screen 600, offering superior usability compared to returning to the menu and searching again.

[0103] The processing flow between the map display control units 115 and 125 and the request response control unit 204 is explained below using the flowcharts in Figures 24 and 25. In step S571, the system transitions to the map screen 600 displayed on screen 400. This map may be indicated by a town name or other information on the input / output terminal 10, or it may display a map of the current location detected by the GPS function of the mobile terminal 11. In step S572, a search request for the injured person IP located on the map screen is sent to the triage management device 20.

[0104] In the triage management device 20, step S671 searches for triage information for the injured person IP corresponding to the location information. Then, in the next step S672, the search results are transmitted to the input / output terminal 10.

[0105] In the input / output terminal 10, step S573 displays the location of the injured person IP on the map screen 600 using an icon IC, and also displays the triage information for each injured person IP on the tag list display unit 602. In the next step, S574, it is determined whether a patient IP address displayed on the map screen 600 has been selected. If a selection has been made, a search request for the timeline, which contains detailed information about the selected patient IP address, is sent in step S575.

[0106] In step S673, the triage management device 20 searches for the timeline information of the injured person's IP address that was requested, and in the next step S674, it transmits the search results. In the input / output terminal 10, the timeline is displayed on the map screen 600 in step S576. In the next step, S577, if a specific time is selected from the timeline, in step S578, the terminal queries the timeline information sent from the triage management device 20 for detailed information of the specified time, searches in step S579, and displays the patient IP information for the specified time on the map screen 600 in step S580.

[0107] As described above, the map screen 600 not only displays the location of injured / ill IPs but also displays a list of injured / ill IPs, allowing information on multiple injured / ill IPs to be recognized at once. Furthermore, the timeline of a specific injured / ill IP can also be viewed, enabling accurate treatment and transportation according to the condition of the injured / ill IP.

[0108] As shown above, an example of displaying a list of injured / ill individuals' IP addresses was shown on the map screen 600, but this can also be done on the list display screen 800 shown in Figure 26. In other words, the triage management system of the embodiment is The output request transmission units 112 and 122 cause the input / output terminal 10 to send a request for a list of injured / ill person IPs as an output request. When the triage management device 20 receives a list request from the output request transmission units 112 and 122, it searches for the triage information included in the list request and outputs it to the list display control units 116 and 126. The list display control units 116 and 126 control the display of a list of injured / ill persons' IP addresses on the screen 400. Note that the list display control units 116 and 126 also include those that function on a web application on a web server or similar device in response to operations on the input / output terminal 10.

[0109] In the triage management system of this embodiment, the list display control units 116 and 126 perform control to display the current status for each injured person IP when displaying a list of injured person IPs. Therefore, knowing the current status of injured or ill patients (IPs), such as not yet triaged, triaged, in transit, transport completed, receiving treatment, or treatment completed, allows for more accurate treatment and transport.

[0110] Figure 26 shows a list display screen 800 displayed on screen 400 by the triage system of the above embodiment. This list display screen 800 includes a search condition input section 801, a list display section 802, a tag selection section 802a, a triage classification display section 802b, a patient name display section 802c, and a current status display section 802d. The search criteria input section 801 is used to input search criteria to be displayed in a list. Users can select search criteria such as triage category, current status, and search range. The list display unit 802 displays a list of patient IPs that match the search criteria selected in the search criteria input unit 801. The tag selection unit 802a is the area where a user can select any patient IP from the displayed list. When a patient IP is selected in the tag selection unit 802a, the triage information or timeline for that patient IP is displayed. The triage classification display unit 802b displays the triage classification for each listed patient IP. The patient name display unit 802c displays the name of each patient IP in the list. The current status display unit 802d displays the current status of each patient IP (not yet triaged, triaged, in transport, transport completed, receiving treatment, treatment completed, etc.). Furthermore, by selecting a listed patient IP address in the tag selection unit 802a and pressing down the editing operation area 802e, the triage information of the selected patient IP address can be updated. Additionally, by pressing down the history operation area 802f, the history (changes in triage information) of the selected patient IP address can be viewed. Additionally, pressing the reload operation area 802g will reload the list display, and pressing the back operation area 802h will return you to the previous screen.

[0111] Figure 27 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the triage management system according to the above embodiment. In the first step S581, the list display control unit 126 sends search conditions to the triage management device 20 as an output request to create a list of injured / ill persons IPs. In step S681, the triage management device 20, which has received a search request, uses a request response control unit 204 to search for triage information of injured or ill patients IP that matches the search criteria from the data stored in the triage information storage unit 30. In the next step, S682, the triage information of the injured / ill person IPs in the search results is transmitted to the list display control unit 126. In step S582, the list display control unit 126, which received the search results, displays the search results on the list display screen 800 of the input / output terminal 10.

[0112] Therefore, it is possible to obtain a list of patient IPs that match the specified search criteria, which can be used for treatment and transportation.

[0113] In the triage management system of this embodiment, the list display control units 116 and 126 control the display of a list of injured persons' IPs on the map screen 600. According to the triage management system of this embodiment, the map screen 600 shown in Figure 23 can be displayed.

[0114] Furthermore, the triage system of the embodiment is The output request transmission units 112 and 122 transmit a timeline display request for the injured person's IP as an output request in response to the operation of the input / output terminal 10. The triage management device 20 includes a timeline information output unit 205 that, upon receiving a timeline display request from the output request transmission units 112 and 122, searches for the triage information of the injured person's IP and transmits the information of the injured person's IP for each reception time to the timeline display control units 117 and 127. The timeline display control units 117 and 127 control the display of a timeline on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10, listing the patient's IP information for each reception time. Note that the timeline display control units 117 and 127 also include those that function via a web application on a web server or similar device in response to operations on the input / output terminal 10.

[0115] In the triage management system of this embodiment, the timeline display control units 117 and 127 control the display of the timeline of the injured person IP on the map screen 600 that displays a map on the screen 400. Although not shown in the illustration, this embodiment also includes the steps of: sending a request to output a timeline for the target injured person's IP from the input / output terminal 10; searching for and sending a timeline from the triage information of the target injured person's IP in the triage management device 20; and displaying the search results on the screen 400 of the input / output terminal 10, showing a timeline listing the injured person's IP information by reception time.

[0116] Therefore, healthcare professionals can learn about changes in the current status of injured / ill individuals (IPs), enabling more detailed responses. Furthermore, when displayed on a map screen (600), the current status changes of each individual IP at their location on the map can be tracked, which can be used, for example, to determine priorities when dispatching patients for treatment or transport.

[0117] The computer 100 (see Figure 28) of the triage management device 20 of the embodiment described above includes the following triage management program 100a. In other words, the triage management program 100a is The computer 100 of the triage management device 20 of the triage management system TMS, which includes an input / output terminal 10 and a triage management device 20 that can be connected to the input / output terminal 10 via network NT, The system stores triage information, including information about injured persons' IP addresses and triage information, input from the input / output terminal 10 via the network NT, in the triage information storage unit 30.
