Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a display program, an information processing apparatus, and a display method.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for example, a business management system for managing nursing tasks performed by nurses for each shift is widely known. A nurse's shift has a day shift for performing tasks during the day and a night shift for performing tasks at night. Also, the night shift includes, for example, a semi-night shift and a late-night shift.

[0003] A nurse can grasp the nursing tasks to be performed on a patient by looking at a patient schedule screen that manages the nursing tasks performed by the nurse for each shift and displayed on a tablet terminal carried by the nurse.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the conventional business management system, although a nurse can grasp the nursing tasks to be performed on a patient during the shift by looking at the patient schedule screen, a situation where the nursing tasks remain unperformed even after the shift for which the nursing tasks are scheduled to be performed on the patient can be considered. That is, a situation where the nursing tasks remain unperformed in a shift such as a time zone earlier than the current time zone can also be considered.

[0006] In one aspect, it is to provide a display program or the like that can alert to nursing tasks that were not performed during the shift. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the generation program causes the computer to perform a process to store in the memory whether or not nursing duties for a patient have been performed. When displaying the nursing duties for the patient's current time slot on the patient schedule screen, if there are any unperformed nursing duties for the patient in a time slot prior to the current time slot, the computer is instructed to perform a process to display a message indicating that there are unperformed nursing duties in a second display area, which is different from the first display area that displays patient-specific information on the patient schedule screen. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] One aspect of this approach is that it can draw attention to nursing tasks that were not performed during earlier shifts or periods before the current shift. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, based on the drawings, embodiments of the display program and the like disclosed in the present application will be described in detail. Note that the disclosed technology is not limited by each embodiment. Also, the following embodiments may be appropriately combined within a range that does not cause contradictions.

EXAMPLE

[0011] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the business management system 1 of this embodiment. The business management system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a nurse-side terminal device 2, an information processing device 3, a doctor-side terminal device 4, and a communication network 5. The business management system 1 is, for example, a system that schedules and manages the nursing work of doctors, nurses, etc. in a hospital or the like for patients. The nursing work is work for patients, such as medication administration, body position change, and other in-hospital prescription work. The nursing work is work to be performed for patients in each time slot within each work shift. The work shifts are, for example, day shift, quasi-night shift, and midnight shift. The day shift is, for example, a work shift from 8:00 to 15:59, the quasi-night shift is, for example, a work shift from 16:00 to 23:59, and the midnight shift is, for example, a work shift from 0:00 to 7:59. For the sake of convenience of explanation, the business management system 1 is illustrated with one doctor-side terminal device 4 and one nurse-side terminal device 2, but the number is not limited to this and can be changed as appropriate.

[0012] The nurse-side terminal device 2 is, for example, a terminal device such as a computer or a tablet terminal used by a nurse. The doctor-side terminal device 4 is, for example, a terminal device such as a computer or a tablet terminal used by a doctor. The information processing device 3 is, for example, a server device such as a computer that generates screen information for displaying a patient schedule screen. The communication network 5 is a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) that can communicate and connect with the nurse-side terminal device 2, the doctor-side terminal device 4, and the information processing device 3.

[0013] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the nurse-side terminal device 2. The nurse-side terminal device 2 shown in Figure 2 includes a communication device 11, an operating device 12, a display device 13, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 14. Furthermore, the nurse-side terminal device 2 also includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) 15, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 16, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 17. The communication device 11 is a communication interface that communicates with the communication network 5. The operating device 12 is an input interface for inputting various information and various commands, for example. The display device 13 is an output interface such as a monitor that displays and outputs various information, for example.

[0014] ROM 14 is a non-volatile memory that stores various programs, etc. RAM 15 is a volatile memory that loads the various programs stored in ROM 14. HDD 16 is a memory area that stores various information. CPU 17 controls the entire nurse-side terminal device 2. Nurses carrying the nurse-side terminal device 2 can view the patient schedule screen displayed on the display device 13 to understand the nursing tasks to be performed for each patient during their designated shift. Furthermore, nurses can view the warnings described later on the patient schedule screen displayed on the display device 13 to recognize if there are any nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift. In addition, the doctor-side terminal device 4 can also display the patient schedule screen.

[0015] Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 shown in Figure 3 includes a communication device 21, an operating device 22, a display device 23, a ROM 24, a RAM 25, an HDD 26, and a CPU 27. The communication device 21 is a communication interface that communicates with the communication network 5. The operating device 22 is an input interface for inputting various information and various commands, for example. The display device 23 is an output interface, such as a monitor that displays and outputs various information.

[0016] ROM24 is a non-volatile memory that stores various programs, etc. RAM25 is a volatile memory that loads the various programs stored in ROM24. HDD26 is a storage area that stores various information. CPU27 controls the entire information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 generates screen information that displays a patient schedule screen containing nursing work content information for each patient for each shift, in response to a command from the nurse-side terminal device 2, and provides the generated screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. The nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen on the display device 13 based on the screen information.

[0017] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 shown in Figure 4 has a storage unit 30 and a processing unit 40. The storage unit 30 has a work shift DB 31, a nursing DB 32, and an order DB 33. The storage unit 30 is a storage area such as RAM 25 or HDD 26.

[0018] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a work shift DB 31. The work shift DB 31 shown in Figure 5 is a database that manages work shifts such as day shift, evening shift, and night shift. The work shift DB 31 manages work shift classifications 31A and time zones 31B in association. Work shift classification 31A is a classification that identifies work shifts such as day shift, evening shift, and night shift. Time zone 31B is a time zone that indicates the start and end times of the work shift. "Day shift" in work shift classification 31A corresponds to time zone 31B from 8:00:00 to 15:59:59. "Evening shift" in work shift classification 31A corresponds to time zone 31B from 16:00:00 to 23:59:59. "Night shift" in work shift classification 31A corresponds to time zone 31B from 0:00:00 to 7:59:59.

[0019] Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a nursing DB 32. The nursing DB 32 shown in Figure 6 is an area that stores nursing work content information. Nursing work content information has an order number 32B, a scheduled time 32C, and an actual time 32D for each patient name 32A. Patient name 32A is the name of the patient that identifies the patient. Order number 32B is the order number that identifies the content of the nursing work to be performed on the patient. Scheduled time 32C is the scheduled time to perform the nursing work on the patient. Actual time 32D is the time when the nursing work was actually performed on the patient.

[0020] Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the Order DB 33. The Order DB 33 shown in Figure 7 is an area for storing order details. For each patient name 33A, the order details include an order number 33B and an order content 33C. The order content 33C is the specific order details, for example, the specific details of nursing duties. The Nursing DB 32 and the Order DB 33 are linked using the patient name and order number to store order details.

[0021] The processing unit 40 stores the order number for nursing duties for the patient and the date and time of implementation, which indicates whether or not the nursing duties were performed, in the nursing DB 32. The processing unit 40 has a determination unit 41 and a generation unit 42. When the determination unit 41 displays the nursing duties for the patient's current work shift on the patient schedule screen, it determines whether or not there are any unperformed nursing duties for the patient in the previous work shift, which is a time period prior to the current work shift.

[0022] The generation unit 42 generates first screen information for displaying the patient schedule screen to the nurse terminal device 2 if there are nursing tasks that were not performed in the shift immediately preceding the current shift for the patient. The first screen information displays patient-specific information in the first display area 53 of the patient schedule screen, while also displaying a warning in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen that there are nursing tasks that have not been performed.

[0023] The determination unit 41, when displaying the nursing duties for each patient's current shift on the patient schedule screen among multiple patients, determines whether or not there are any nursing duties that were not performed in the shift immediately preceding the current shift for that patient. The generation unit 42, if there are nursing duties that were not performed in the shift immediately preceding the current shift for that patient, generates screen information that identifies and displays the content of the unperformed nursing duties for that patient on the patient schedule screen, in addition to a warning displayed in the second display area 54.

[0024] When the patient schedule screen for the current shift is switched to the patient schedule screen for the previous shift while a warning indicating that there are unperformed nursing tasks is displayed in the second display area 54, the generation unit 42 generates second screen information in which the warning currently displayed in the second display area 54 has been cleared.

[0025] The processing unit 40 displays a warning in the second display area 54 indicating that there are unperformed nursing tasks, then switches the patient schedule screen for the current shift to the patient schedule screen for the previous shift, and then stores in the nursing DB 32 that the unperformed nursing tasks have been performed. In this case, the generation unit 42 generates second screen information in which the warning displayed in the second display area 54 indicating that there are unperformed nursing tasks has been erased.

[0026] Figure 8A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a patient schedule screen with a warning. The patient schedule screen 50A shown in Figure 8A is a screen displayed on the display device 13 of the nurse-side terminal device 2. The patient schedule screen 50A has a date specification section 51, a work shift specification section 52, a first display area 53, and a second display area 54. The date specification section 51 is a specification section for specifying the date of the patient schedule screen 51A. The work shift specification section 52 is a specification section for specifying work shifts such as day shift, evening shift, night shift, full day, etc. If day shift is specified in the work shift specification section 52, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen for the day shift. If evening shift is specified in the work shift specification section 52, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen for the evening shift. If night shift is specified in the work shift specification section 52, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen for the night shift. If the entire day is specified in the work shift designation unit 52, the nurse's terminal device 2 displays a patient schedule screen for 24 hours of work shifts.

[0027] The first display area 53 is an area for displaying nursing work content information for the designated work shift. The nursing work content information includes the patient's room number 53A, name 53B, memo 53C, implementation status 53E, work category 53F, instruction content 53G, and scheduled time slot 53D. The patient's room number 53A is the room number that identifies the patient's room. The name 53B is the patient's name. The implementation status 53E is an input field for entering the scheduled time and implementation time of nursing work to be performed on the patient. The work category 53F is a category that identifies nursing work to be performed on the patient, such as prescriptions, treatments, or injections. The instruction content 53G is the specific content of the nursing work. The scheduled time slot 53D displays the time slot of the designated work shift in one-hour increments, as well as the time slot during which nursing work is scheduled to be performed.

[0028] The second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A is an area that displays a warning if there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift. As a result, nurses can see the warning displayed in the second display area 54 on the patient schedule screen 50A and recognize that there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift.

[0029] On the patient schedule screen 50A, the status display 53E also displays a warning if there are any uncompleted nursing tasks from the previous shift, as well as the planned content and time of those tasks. As a result, nurses can look at the status display 53E in the first display area 53 of the patient schedule screen 50A and recognize that there are uncompleted nursing tasks from the previous shift, as well as the content of those tasks.

[0030] Figure 8B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a patient schedule screen 50B without warnings. In the patient schedule screen 50B shown in Figure 8B, the second display area 54 is in a state without warnings when there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift. As a result, nurses can see the state without warnings in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50B and recognize that all scheduled nursing tasks were performed in the previous shift.

[0031] Figure 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the CPU 17 of the nurse-side terminal device 2 involved in input processing. In Figure 9, the CPU 17 in the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays a patient schedule screen, including the scheduled actions for each patient during the relevant shift, on the display device 13 (step S11). The patient schedule screen is, for example, the patient schedule screen 50A with warnings shown in Figure 8A, or the patient schedule screen 50B without warnings shown in Figure 8B.

[0032] CPU 17 determines whether the time of execution has been entered in the execution status 53E for the scheduled work shift in the patient schedule screen (step S12). When a nurse performs a scheduled nursing task, they enter the time of execution in the execution status 53E on the patient schedule screen. If CPU 17 has entered the time of execution in the execution status 53E for the scheduled task for that patient (step S12: Yes), it sends the time of execution of the nursing task for that patient to the information processing device 3 (step S13) and terminates the processing operation shown in Figure 9. Then, when CPU 27 in the information processing device 3 receives the time of execution of the nursing task for the patient from the nurse's terminal device 2, it registers the time of execution in the execution time 32D for the scheduled time 32C for that patient in the nursing DB 32.

[0033] If the CPU 17 does not enter an implementation time in the implementation status 53E for the scheduled implementation for the patient (step S12: No), it terminates the processing operation shown in Figure 9. In this case, the implementation time 32D for the scheduled implementation time 32C for the patient in the nursing DB 32 is blank.

[0034] Figure 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing operation of the CPU 27 of the information processing device 3 involved in the generation process. In Figure 10, the processing unit 40 within the CPU 27 of the information processing device 3 determines whether or not it has detected a display operation of the patient schedule screen for the current shift from the nurse's terminal device 2 (step S21).

[0035] When the processing unit 40 detects a display operation of the patient schedule screen for the current shift from the nurse's terminal device 2 (step S21: Yes), it refers to the implementation time 32D in the nursing DB 32. Based on the implementation time 32D in the nursing DB 32, the determination unit 41 in the processing unit 40 determines whether or not there is an implementation time for the patient's scheduled implementation for the most recent shift of the current shift (step S22).

[0036] The generation unit 42 within the processing unit 40 generates first screen information that displays a patient schedule screen 50A with a warning if there are no scheduled actions for the patient in the most recent shift (step S22: Yes) (step S23). The first screen information is for generating the patient schedule screen 50A with a warning shown in Figure 8A, which displays the nursing work content of the patient in the current shift in the first display area 53 and displays a warning in the second display area 54 that there are nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift.

[0037] The generation unit 42 provides the generated screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2 (step S24), and terminates the processing operation shown in Figure 10. The CPU 17 in the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A with a warning, shown in Figure 8A, on the display device 13 based on the first screen information from the information processing device 3. As a result, the nurse in the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the warning displayed in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A with a warning, indicating that there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift, and recognize that there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift.

[0038] The determination unit 41 generates second screen information (step S25) that displays a patient schedule screen 50B without warnings if there is no scheduled time for the patient's scheduled work for the most recent shift, i.e., there is a scheduled time (step S22: No). The second screen information is information for generating a patient schedule screen 50B without warnings, as shown in Figure 8B, which displays the nursing work content of the patient for the current shift in the first display area 53, in a state without warnings in the second display area 54.

[0039] The generation unit 42 proceeds to the processing in step S24 in order to provide the screen information generated in step S25 to the nurse-side terminal device 2. The CPU 17 in the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50B without warnings, shown in Figure 8B, on the display device 13 based on the second screen information from the information processing device 3. As a result, the nurse in the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the "no warnings" state in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50B without warnings and recognize that there are no unperformed nursing tasks in the previous shift.

[0040] Furthermore, if the processing unit 40 does not detect a display operation of the patient schedule screen for the current shift from the nurse's terminal device 2 (step S21: No), it terminates the processing operation shown in Figure 10.

[0041] For the sake of explanation, the example given shows that when there is only one patient during a shift, the nurse's terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A with a warning (as shown in Figure 8A) and the patient schedule screen 50B without a warning (as shown in Figure 8B). However, when there are multiple patients during a shift, the nurse's terminal device 2 displays either the patient schedule screen 50A1 with a warning (as shown in Figure 11A) or the patient schedule screen 50B1 without a warning (as shown in Figure 11B).

[0042] Figure 11A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a patient schedule screen 50A1 with a warning. The patient schedule screen 50A1 shown in Figure 11A is a screen that displays nursing work content information for each patient on the display device 13 of the nurse's terminal device 2.

[0043] The first display area 53 is for displaying information on nursing duties for each patient during the designated shift. The second display area 54 is for displaying a warning if there are nursing duties that were not performed during the previous shift.

[0044] The second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A1 displays a warning if there are any uncompleted nursing tasks from the previous shift. As a result, nurses can see the warning on the patient schedule screen 50A1 and recognize that there are uncompleted nursing tasks from the previous shift.

[0045] Figure 11B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a patient schedule screen 50B1 without warnings. In the patient schedule screen 50B1 shown in Figure 11B, the second display area 54 is in a state without warnings when there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift. As a result, nurses can see the state without warnings in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50B1 and recognize that all scheduled nursing tasks were performed in the previous shift.

[0046] Figure 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen transition for switching shifts on the patient schedule screen. In Figure 12, the nurse's terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A11 for the current shift, for example, the "day shift," on the display device 13. The second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A11 displays a warning that there are nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift.

[0047] When the nurse's terminal device 2 detects an operation by the work shift designation unit 52 to switch from the current work shift to the previous work shift, for example, from the "day shift" to the "night shift," it displays the patient schedule screen 50A12 for the previous work shift, "night shift," on the display device 13. At this time, the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A12 is the previous work shift, and since there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous work shift, "evening shift," there are no warnings.

[0048] When the nurse's terminal device 2 detects an operation by the work shift designation unit 52 to switch from the previous work shift to the current work shift, for example, from "night shift" to "day shift," it displays the patient schedule screen 50A13 for the current work shift, "day shift," on the display device 13. At this time, the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A13 displays a warning that there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous work shift.

[0049] Figure 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen transition for switching shifts on the patient schedule screen. In Figure 13, the nurse's terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A21 for the current shift, for example, the "day shift," on the display device 13. The second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A21 displays a warning that there are nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift.

[0050] When the nurse's terminal device 2 detects an operation by the work shift designation unit 52 to switch from the current work shift to the previous work shift, for example, from the "day shift" to the "night shift," it displays the patient schedule screen 50A22 for the previous work shift, "night shift," on the display device 13. At this time, the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A22 is the previous work shift, and since there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous work shift, "evening shift," there are no warnings.

[0051] The nurse's terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A22 for the previous shift, "night," on the display device 13. At this time, if a nursing task that the nurse had not yet performed is performed, and the nurse's terminal device 2 inputs the time of performance for that nursing task, the time of performance is stored in the nursing DB 32. The second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A23 is the previous shift, and since there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous shift, "evening shift," there are no warnings.

[0052] When the nurse's terminal device 2 detects an operation by the work shift designation unit 52 to switch from the previous work shift to the current work shift, for example, from "night shift" to "day shift," it displays the patient schedule screen 50A24 for the current work shift, "day shift," on the display device 13. At this time, the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A24 is in a state without warnings because there are no nursing tasks that were not performed in the previous work shift.

[0053] In this embodiment, when displaying nursing duties for the current shift on the patient schedule screen 50A, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not there are any nursing duties for the patient that were not performed during the shift immediately preceding the current shift. If there are nursing duties for the patient that were not performed during the shift immediately preceding the current shift, the information processing device 3 generates first screen information that displays a warning in the second display area 54 of the patient schedule screen 50A indicating that there are nursing duties that were not performed. The information processing device 3 transmits the first screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. Based on the first screen information, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A with the warning. As a result, the nurse on the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the patient schedule screen 50A with the warning and recognize that there are nursing duties that were not performed during the shift immediately preceding the current shift. In other words, it can draw attention to nursing duties that were not performed during the shift immediately preceding the current shift.

[0054] The information processing device 3 generates first image information that displays a warning in the second display area 54 when displaying the nursing tasks for the current shift on the patient schedule screen, if there are nursing tasks for the patient that were not performed during the shift immediately preceding the current shift. The information processing device 3 transmits the first screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. Based on the first screen information, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A with the warning. As a result, the nurse on the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the patient schedule screen 50A with the warning and recognize that there are nursing tasks that were not performed during the previous shift.

[0055] When the information processing device 3 displays the nursing duties for each patient's current shift on the patient schedule screen 50A1, if there are any nursing duties that were not performed in the previous shift, it generates first screen information that identifies and displays the content of the unperformed nursing duties for that patient as the performance status 53E. The information processing device 3 transmits the first screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. Based on the first screen information, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A1 with a warning. As a result, the nurse on the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the performance status 53E on the patient schedule screen 50A1 and recognize the content of the nursing duties that were not performed in the previous shift.

[0056] When the information processing device 3 switches from the patient schedule screen 50A11 for the current shift to the patient schedule screen 50A12 for the previous shift while a warning is displayed in the second display area 54, it generates second screen information with the warning currently displayed in the second display area 54 cleared. The information processing device 3 transmits the second screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. Based on the second screen information, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A12 without warnings. As a result, the nurse on the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the patient schedule screen 50A12 without warnings and recognize that there are no unperformed nursing tasks among the scheduled nursing tasks for the previous shift.

[0057] The information processing device 3, with a warning displayed in the second display area 54, switches the patient schedule screen 50A21 for the current shift to the patient schedule screen 50A22 for the previous shift, and then stores the time of the unperformed nursing task in the nursing DB 32, indicating that the task was performed. When displaying the nursing tasks for the current shift on the patient schedule screen 50A24, the information processing device 3 generates second screen information, erasing the warning displayed in the second display area 54. The information processing device 3 transmits the second screen information to the nurse-side terminal device 2. Based on the second screen information, the nurse-side terminal device 2 displays the patient schedule screen 50A24 without warnings. As a result, the nurse on the nurse-side terminal device 2 can see the patient schedule screen 50A24 without warnings and recognize that there are no unperformed nursing tasks among the scheduled nursing tasks for the previous shift.

[0058] The communication network 5 is not limited to a LAN; for example, it may be a communication network such as the Internet, and can be changed as appropriate.

[0059] Furthermore, the information processing device 3 provided an example of determining whether there were any unperformed nursing tasks in the previous shift, prior to the current shift for the patient. However, it is not limited to the previous shift; any shift prior to the current shift is acceptable, and this can be changed as appropriate. Also, the information processing device 3 is not limited to shifts; if management is done by time slot, it may determine whether there were any unperformed nursing tasks in a time slot prior to the current time slot for the patient. If there are unperformed nursing tasks in a time slot prior to the current time slot for the patient, the information processing device 3 may generate screen information in the second display area of ​​the patient schedule screen indicating that there are unperformed nursing tasks, and this can be changed as appropriate.

[0060] For the sake of explanation, the example given shows the data generation process performed by the information processing device 3, but it can also be performed in the cloud, and this can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, instead of the information processing device 3, it can be performed by the nurse-side terminal device 2 or the doctor-side terminal device 4, and this can be changed as appropriate.

[0061] Figure 14 is a block diagram showing an example of a computer 70 that executes a display program. The computer 70 shown in Figure 14 has a communication interface 71, an HDD 72, a ROM 73, a RAM 74, a processor 75, and a bus 76. The communication interface 71 is a communication interface that connects to the communication network 5. The ROM 73 stores, for example, a judgment program 73A and a generation program 73B. The processor 75 reads the judgment program 73A and the generation program 73B stored in the ROM 73 and loads the read judgment program 73A and the generation program 73B onto the RAM 74. The processor 75 then executes the judgment process 74A and the generation process 74B as its function.

[0062] HDD72 stores nursing duties for patients and whether or not those duties have been performed. The determination process 74A determines whether or not there are any unperformed nursing duties for the patient in the time period prior to the current time period when displaying the nursing duties for the patient in the patient schedule screen. The generation process 74B, if there are any unperformed nursing duties for the patient in the time period prior to the current time period, generates screen information indicating that there are unperformed nursing duties in a second display area, which is different from the first display area that displays patient-specific information in the patient schedule screen. The generation process 74B provides the generated screen information to other terminal devices.

[0063] When another terminal device displays the nursing duties for the patient's current time slot on the patient schedule screen based on the generated screen information, if there are any unperformed nursing duties for the patient in a time slot prior to the current time slot, it displays a message indicating that there are unperformed nursing duties in a second display area. As a result, users of the other terminal device can see the message indicating unperformed nursing duties on the patient schedule screen and recognize nursing duties that were not performed in a work period prior to the current time slot.

[0064] Furthermore, the components of each part shown in the diagram do not necessarily have to be physically configured as depicted. In other words, the specific forms of distribution and integration of each part are not limited to those shown in the diagram, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit according to various loads, usage conditions, etc.

[0065] Furthermore, the various processing functions performed by each device may be executed in whole or in part on a CPU (Central Processing Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), etc. Alternatively, the various processing functions may be executed in whole or in part on a program run by the CPU, etc., or on wired logic hardware.

[0066] The area for storing various types of information may be composed of recording media such as ROM (Read Only Memory), SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory), MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory), NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory), or other types of RAM (Random Access Memory).
