Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a program for physician-physician consultation. [Background technology]

[0002] Today's medical care is provided by a wide variety of specialized physicians who play their respective roles, such as general medicine, hematology, neurology, nephrology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, urology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, psychiatry, rheumatology, and infectious diseases.

[0003] Larger hospitals employ specialists in a variety of these fields and are able to provide the necessary medical care to any patient, but not all hospitals are necessarily able to set up such a system.

[0004] As a result, services are being considered that allow doctors to consult with each other online to make up for any knowledge that they may lack. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, as mentioned above, with the increasing specialization of medicine today, it is important for doctors who want to supplement their knowledge through consultation to be able to ask questions of doctors with the appropriate expertise, and the problem cannot be solved by simply having a place where doctors can consult with each other. In order for a patient's doctor to provide appropriate medical care to the patient in front of them, the reliability of the answers to the consultation is required.

[0006] This problem is more serious in rural areas, where hospitals with the necessary specialists are concentrated in urban areas. In rural areas, there is a shortage of specialists needed in each area, and there is a large disparity in medical care between urban and rural areas. For example, in Japan, there is a severe shortage of rheumatology and infectious diseases doctors, with the number of doctors per 100,000 people being less than one.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of these problems, and its object is to provide an apparatus, method, and program for doctor-to-doctor consultation that enables a patient's doctor to receive supplementary knowledge from a trusted specialist beyond the hospital where the doctor himself works.

[0008] In this specification, the term "specialist" refers to a doctor who has a specialized medical field (hereinafter referred to as "specialty"), and specifically includes doctors who belong to a specialty. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To achieve this object, a first aspect of the present invention is a method for consultation between doctors, comprising the steps of receiving an identifier of a medical department related to the consultation from a first terminal used by a first doctor, determining whether said identifier matches any of one or more specialty identifiers of said first doctor, and selecting one or more doctors suitable for responding to said consultation depending on the result of said determination.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention is the first aspect, characterized in that an identifier of the one or more specialties of the first doctor is received and stored from the first terminal prior to the reception.

[0011] In addition, a third aspect of the present invention is the first or second aspect, and is characterized in that the selection is made on the condition that, if the result of the judgment is a match, the specialty is the same as the medical department identified by the identifier, and that the number of years of experience is longer than the number of years of experience of the first doctor.

[0012] In addition, a fourth aspect of the present invention is the third aspect, further comprising a step of sending a response to the consultation to one or more terminals used by at least some of the selected one or more doctors, in order of the doctor with the shortest years of experience.

[0013] In addition, a fifth aspect of the present invention is the first or second aspect, and is characterized in that the selection is made on the condition that, if the result of the judgment is inconsistent, the specialty or available department is the same as the medical department identified by the identifier, and that the number of years of experience is longer than a predetermined number of years.

[0014] A sixth aspect of the present invention is the fifth aspect, characterized in that the predetermined number of years is three years of experience in a specialized field.

[0015] In addition, a seventh aspect of the present invention is the fifth or sixth aspect, characterized in that it further includes a step of sending a response to the consultation to one or more terminals used by at least some of the selected one or more doctors, in order of the doctor with the shortest years of experience in the specialty.

[0016] In addition, an eighth aspect of the present invention is the fifth or sixth aspect, characterized in that it further includes a step of sending an inquiry for a response to the consultation to one or more terminals used by at least some of the selected one or more doctors, in order of the shortest years of experience in the medical department that can handle the consultation, after sending the inquiry to at least some of the one or more doctors whose specialty is the same as the medical department identified by the identifier.

[0017] In addition, a ninth aspect of the present invention is the fourth, seventh and eighth aspects, characterized in that it further includes a step of receiving a notification from a terminal used by any one of the selected one or more doctors that the consultation that is the subject of the inquiry will be answered.

[0018] A tenth aspect of the present invention is the ninth aspect, further comprising the step of stopping subsequent transmission of the inquiry in response to receipt of the notification.

[0019] In addition, an eleventh aspect of the present invention is the ninth aspect, characterized in that it further includes a step of generating a connection relationship capable of transmitting data in both directions between the first doctor and a doctor using the terminal that sent the notification in response to receiving the notification.

[0020] Furthermore, a twelfth aspect of the present invention is the ninth aspect, further characterized by including a step of forming a connection between the first doctor and a doctor using the terminal that sent the notification.

[0021] In addition, a 13th aspect of the present invention is any one of the 1st to 12th aspects, characterized in that it further includes a step of receiving the contents of the consultation from the first terminal, and a step of sending a confirmation request to the first terminal, depending on the medical department or the contents, to prompt the doctor responding to the consultation to confirm the information to be provided.

[0022] In addition, a 14th aspect of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to execute a method for consultation between doctors, the method being characterized in that it includes the steps of receiving an identifier of a medical department related to the consultation from a first terminal used by a first doctor, determining whether the identifier matches any of one or more specialty identifiers of the first doctor, and selecting one or more doctors suitable for responding to the consultation depending on the result of the determination.

[0023] In addition, a fifteenth aspect of the present invention is a device for consultation between doctors, which receives an identifier of a medical department related to the consultation from a first terminal used by a first doctor, determines whether the identifier matches any of one or more specialty identifiers of the first doctor, and selects one or more doctors suitable for responding to the consultation depending on the result of the determination. Effect of the Invention

[0024] According to one aspect of the present invention, a patient's doctor inputs the medical department he or she wishes to consult on via a first terminal used by the doctor, and the device selects one or more specialists suitable for responding to the doctor's inquiry based on the identifier of the medical department, thereby generating a connection relationship for consultation between the doctor and one of the selected one or more specialists. The doctor can then consult with an appropriate doctor from among the specialists whose doctor information is stored in the device, beyond the hospital where he or she works, to supplement the knowledge necessary to provide medical care to the patient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0027] (First embodiment) Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for doctor-to-doctor consultation according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus 100 communicates with a first terminal 110 used by a patient's doctor who wishes to supplement his / her lack of knowledge in providing medical care to the patient, and a second terminal 120 used by a specialist who wishes to provide specialized knowledge, via a computer network such as an IP network. For simplicity, Fig. 1 shows only one each of the first terminal 110 and the second terminal 120, but in reality, multiple doctor-to-doctors and specialists can communicate with the apparatus 100.

[0028] The device 100 includes a communication unit 101 such as a communication interface, a processing unit 102 such as a processor or CPU, and a storage unit 103 including a storage device or storage medium such as a memory or a hard disk, and can be configured by executing a program for performing each process. The device 100 may include one or more devices, computers, or servers. The program may include one or more programs, and may be recorded in a computer-readable storage medium to form a non-transient program product. The program may be stored in the storage unit 103 or a storage medium 104 such as a database accessible from the device 100, and may be executed by the processing unit 102. It is noted that data described below as being stored in the storage medium 104 such as a database may be stored in whole or in part in the storage unit 103.

[0029] The database 104 stores physician information on specialists. The physician information includes, in addition to the physician's name, one or more specialties or their identifiers. The physician information also includes years of experience, or a starting point such as a date on which the years of experience are calculated or a year including the starting date. The years of experience can be determined, for example, by the number of years since graduation or the number of years since obtaining a medical license, and the year including the starting date can be, for example, the year of graduation or the year of obtaining a medical license. The period of experience can be expressed in months, but this is synonymous with the number of years of experience if it can be converted to a number of years with one or more decimal places. The physician information can be stored by each specialist using his / her own terminal to input it on the screen provided by the device 100. The specialty of each physician may be selected by the physician as his / her specialty and may be adopted as is, or may be adopted after approval by the device 100 or after approval by the operator of the physician-to-physician consultation service provided by the device 100.

[0030] FIG. 2 shows an example of the doctor information of a specialist registered in the first embodiment of the present invention. Here, an example is shown in which the doctor information of a specialist is displayed as a "specialist profile". In the example of FIG. 2, the doctor information includes "Taro Yamada" as the name 201, "1991" as the starting point 202, and "general internal medicine" as the specialty 203. Furthermore, in this example, the doctor information includes "radiology, ICU / intensive care, dermatology" as the "available departments" 204, and lung cancer, etc. as the diagnosis history 205. Various notations are possible for the starting point 202. It is also possible to store the corresponding identifiers for the specialty 203, the available departments 204, and the diagnosis history 205. For the diagnosis history 205, it is further possible to store the number of times each disease has been diagnosed or the corresponding insurance points.

[0031] 2 displays the doctor information of the specialist, but doctor information is also input for the patient's primary doctor in order to use the doctor-to-doctor consultation service provided by the device 100. The doctor information to be input is similar to the doctor information of the specialist, and includes the name, years of experience or the starting point thereof, and one or more specialties or their identifiers. The doctor who provides consultation in a consultation about one patient may also be the doctor who receives consultation in a consultation about another patient.

[0032] FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a method for doctors to consult with each other according to the first embodiment of the present invention. First, the device 100 transmits chat room creation screen display information for displaying a chat room creation screen for consultation to the first terminal 110 used by the patient's doctor who wishes to supplement the knowledge that the doctor lacks in order to provide medical care to the patient (S301). Here, the expression "chat room" is used as an example in this specification, but more generally, it is sufficient to generate a connection relationship that can transmit text data in both directions, and further image data, video data, and other data related to the consultation as necessary, and the "chat room creation screen" is more generally an example of a "connection relationship generation screen". The chat room can be made private so that only authorized doctors can receive data, and by doctors communicating in a private chat format, there is an advantage that the doctor can easily consult with a specialist without worrying about the gaze of third parties, compared to a case where a third party can view the chat room in a public bulletin board format.

[0033] An example of a chat room creation screen displayed on the display screen of the first terminal 110 by the chat room creation screen display information is shown in Fig. 4. The chat room creation screen 400 has an input field for the medical department 401 to be consulted on, and may further have an input field for a consultation message 402 describing the content of the consultation. Furthermore, the chat room creation screen 400 has input fields for a chat room name 403 and a patient background 404 as necessary. The input field for the medical department 401 may be, for example, a pull-down menu, and the doctor using the first terminal 110 may select a medical department that matches the content of the consultation. Fig. 4 shows a state in which dermatology has been selected.

[0034] After the attending physician makes the necessary input on the chat room creation screen 400 and, if necessary, selects the “Consult” button 405 by clicking or tapping, the first terminal 110 sends a chat room creation request to the device 100 (S302).

[0035] The device 100 that has received the chat room creation request selects one or more doctors suitable for responding to the consultation of the attending physician, based on the medical department identifier included in the chat room creation request, by referring to the physician information stored in the database 104 (S303). Details of the physician selection will be described later in the second embodiment.

[0036] The device 100 transmits an inquiry for an answer to the consultation described in the inquiry text included in the chat room creation request to at least some of the selected one or more doctors (S304). After receiving a notification from the second terminal 120 used by any of the doctors that the device 100 will answer the consultation (S305), the device 100 generates a chat room to which the attending doctor using the first terminal 110 and the specialist doctor using the second terminal 120 can respectively transmit data related to the consultation from the first terminal 110 and the second terminal 120 (S306). The inquiry for an answer can be anonymous without including the real name of the first doctor. By making the doctor anonymous, the psychological barrier is lowered and the consultation becomes easier. In addition, the generated chat room or the connection relationship can also be anonymous without displaying or notifying the real name of the first doctor.

[0037] In this manner, in one embodiment of the present invention, the patient's doctor inputs the medical department he or she wishes to consult on from the first terminal 110 used by the doctor, and the device 100 selects one or more specialists suitable for responding to the doctor's inquiry according to the identifier of the medical department, and the device 100 notifies the device 100 from the second terminal 120 used by the specialist that one of the specialists will respond to the inquiry, thereby causing the device 100 to generate a chat room for consultation between the patient's doctor and the specialist. This enables the doctor to consult with an appropriate doctor from among the specialists whose doctor information is stored in the device 100, beyond the hospital where the doctor works, and to obtain the knowledge necessary to provide medical care to the patient.

[0038] In the above explanation, an invitation for a response to the consultation of the attending physician is sent to at least some of the one or more doctors selected by the device 100 (S304). However, selection result display information for displaying at least some of the one or more doctors selected by the device 100 on a display screen may be sent to the first terminal 110 used by the attending physician, and an invitation for a response may be sent to any doctor designated by the attending physician from among the doctors displayed by the selection result display information.

[0039] In the above description, the doctor selection is performed in conjunction with the generation of a chat room in response to the device 100 receiving a chat room generation request, but if an identifier of the medical department related to the consultation can be received from the first terminal 110 used by the attending doctor, it is possible to perform the doctor selection independently of the generation of the chat room. As an example, it is possible to provide a search screen for the attending doctor to input the medical department related to the consultation and search for doctors who can be consulted. In this case, the doctor to be displayed as the search result is selected.

[0040] It should be noted that unless the word "only" is used, such as "based only on," "depending only on," or "only in the case of," this specification assumes that additional information may be taken into consideration. As an example, it should be noted that the phrase "do b when a" does not necessarily mean "do b always when a" or "do b immediately after a" unless expressly stated. In addition, the phrase "each a constituting A" does not necessarily mean that A is composed of multiple components, but includes the case where the component is singular.

[0041] Also, just to be clear, even if there is an aspect of a method, program, terminal, device, server or system (hereinafter referred to as a "method, etc.") that performs an operation different from that described in this specification, each aspect of the present invention is directed to an operation that is the same as any of the operations described in this specification, and the existence of an operation different from that described in this specification does not make the method, etc. outside the scope of each aspect of the present invention.

[0042] Second embodiment In the first embodiment, the device 100 selects one or more doctors suitable for responding to the consultation of the attending physician according to the identifier of the medical department related to the consultation (S303), whereas in the second embodiment of the present invention, the device 100 further selects one or more doctors suitable for responding according to the years of experience of each doctor.

[0043] First, the device 100 receives an identifier of a medical department related to the consultation from the first terminal 110 used by the first doctor (S501). The device 100 refers to the doctor information based on the identifier of the first doctor, acquires one or more identifiers of the first doctor's specialty, and determines whether the received identifier matches any of the identifiers of the one or more specialty (S502). Here, it is assumed that the identifier of one or more identifiers of the first doctor's specialty is received and stored from the first terminal 110 used by the first doctor before receiving the identifier of the medical department related to the consultation, but it is also possible to receive the identifier of one or more identifiers of the first doctor's specialty at the same time as or before or after the identifier of the medical department related to the consultation.

[0044] If the result of the determination is a match, the doctor is selected, for example, on the condition that the specialty is the same as the medical department identified by the identifier of the medical department related to the consultation, and that the years of experience are equal to or greater than the years of experience of the first doctor who is the consultant. In other words, when the attending physician consults about his / her own specialty, a doctor with relatively many years of experience is selected (S503-1).

[0045] For example, when the doctor information includes the following doctors A to C, and a doctor suitable for answering a question about dermatology from a patient's attending physician who specializes in dermatology is selected, assuming that the attending physician has two years of experience, doctors B and C are selected. Doctor A: (Specialty: Psychiatry, Available areas: Dermatology, Years of experience: 5 years) Doctor B: (Specialty: Dermatology, Available departments: , Years of experience: 3 years) Doctor C: (Specialty: Dermatology, Available departments: , Years of experience: 9 years)

[0046] If the result of the judgment is inconsistent, the doctor is selected, for example, on the condition that the specialty or available specialty is the same as the specialty identified by the identifier of the medical specialty related to the consultation, and that the number of years of experience is equal to or exceeds a predetermined number of years. In other words, when the attending physician consults about a medical specialty other than his / her own specialty, a doctor with relatively short years of experience is selected (S503-2). This is based on the inventors' understanding that in order for the attending physician to supplement his / her knowledge about a medical specialty other than his / her own specialty, it is not necessarily necessary to limit the selection to a doctor with a long history of experience who specializes in that medical specialty, and even a relatively young doctor with, for example, three years or more of experience as a doctor can provide sufficiently reliable knowledge. In addition, the reason why the above doctor selection algorithm is preferable is that young doctors have a high desire to grow as specialists, and are therefore more likely to respond positively to such consultations.

[0047] In addition, in order for the attending physician to supplement his / her knowledge of medical departments other than his / her own specialty, it is possible to select a doctor not necessarily limited to doctors who specialize in that medical department, but also to doctors who can treat that medical department. In this case, the number of years of experience of the doctor who can treat that medical department may be the same as that of the doctor who specializes in that medical department, or it may be longer than that of the doctor who specializes in that medical department. The latter is preferable in order to increase the probability of receiving an answer to the consultation by expanding the selection of doctors, while maintaining or improving the reliability of the answer.

[0048] For example, when the physician information includes the following physicians A through D, and a physician suitable for responding to a dermatology-related inquiry from a primary physician who specializes in anesthesiology is selected, assuming that the specified number of years of experience is three years and that the number of years of experience is longer than the specified number of years, then physician D is selected, and physicians A and B are also selected. Doctor A: (Specialty: Psychiatry, Available areas: Dermatology, Years of experience: 5 years) Doctor B: (Specialty: Psychiatry, Available areas: Dermatology, Years of experience: 11 years) Doctor C: (Specialty: Dermatology, Available departments: , Years of experience: 3 years) Doctor D: (Specialty: Dermatology, Available departments: , Years of experience: 9 years)

[0049] Next, the device 100 transmits a consultation inquiry to one or more terminals used by at least some of the selected one or more doctors (S504). Here, the inquiry is transmitted, for example, in ascending order of years of experience. More specifically, the inquiry is transmitted to one or more doctors in a predetermined order in descending order of years of experience or up to a predetermined number of years of experience.

[0050] For example, it is possible to send inquiries in ascending order of years of experience in units of years of experience, such as 3 to 5 years, 6 to 10 years, 11 to 15 years, 16 to 25 years, and 26 years or more. As another example, it is possible to classify years of experience into units such as 3 to 4 years, 5 to 9 years, 10 to 14 years, 15 to 24 years, and 25 years or more, and the upper and lower limits of each unit may be an appropriate combination of the values ​​in the first example.

[0051] As yet another example, if the result of the above determination is a discrepancy, an inquiry may be sent to at least some of the doctors whose specialty is the same as the department identified by the identifier of the department related to the consultation, and then an inquiry may be sent to at least some of the doctors whose available department is the same as the department identified by the identifier of the department related to the consultation.

[0052] Then, when the device 100 receives a notification from a second terminal used by any of the doctors to whom the consultation was sent that the consultation will be answered (S505), the decision on the doctor to answer is completed, and the sending of the consultation may be terminated.

[0053] If the notification is not received after a predetermined interval (S505), the consultation may be sent again. In this case, it is preferable to send the consultation to the selected doctor or doctors in order of the number of years of experience, excluding doctors who have already been consulted.

[0054] As described above, according to this embodiment, the doctor who will answer the consultation is determined based on each doctor's years of experience in addition to the identifier of the medical department related to the consultation, thereby increasing the probability of obtaining an answer while minimizing the risk of compromising the reliability of the answer.

[0055] In this embodiment, a connection may be formed between a primary care physician who asks a question and a specialist who answers the question within the service provided by the device 100. For example, a connection may be formed when one of the connections described in the first embodiment sends a connection request and the other accepts it. It is also possible to form a connection based on the creation of a connection.

[0056] In the above explanation, the device 100 sends an inquiry for a response to the consultation of the attending physician to at least some of the one or more physicians selected by the device 100 (S504). However, it is also possible to display at least some of the one or more physicians selected by the device 100 on the display screen of the first terminal 110 used by the attending physician, and send an inquiry for a response to any of the physicians designated by the attending physician.

[0057] In the above explanation, if the result of the judgment is a match, the doctor is selected based on the condition that the number of years of experience is equal to or exceeds the number of years of experience of the first doctor who is the client, but if no doctor that meets this condition is stored in the doctor information, a doctor may be selected by referring to the doctor information using an alternative condition of 15 years of experience or more or 16 years of experience or more, for example. This is because a doctor with relatively more experience will have a higher reliability in his or her answer, even if he or she does not have as much experience as the client.

[0058] Moreover, the "start" and "end" shown in FIG. 5 are merely examples, and do not mean that the method according to this embodiment necessarily starts at S501 or necessarily ends at S505.

[0059] (Third embodiment) The device 100 receives, from the first terminal 110 used by the attending physician, the department 401 to be consulted or its identifier, a consultation text 402 describing the consultation content, and, if necessary, a patient background 404. However, in many cases, the patient information necessary for a specialist to provide sufficient knowledge is not included. Therefore, the device 100 transmits a confirmation request to prompt the specialist to confirm the information to be provided in response to the information received from the first terminal 110. By providing the information necessary for the specialist to respond from the beginning, the burden on the specialist to respond can be reduced.

[0060] Specifically, it is considered that the device 100 refers to the consultation auxiliary information stored in the database 104 according to the received identifier of the medical department, and transmits a request for additional explanation of the consultation as the above-mentioned confirmation request to the first terminal 110. Also, it is considered that the device 100 refers to the consultation auxiliary information stored in the database 104 according to the content of the consultation, more specifically, according to at least one of the consultation text and the patient background, and transmits a request for additional explanation of the consultation as the above-mentioned confirmation request to the first terminal 110. As an example, the consultation auxiliary information can be generated by text mining, machine learning, etc., using a history of conversation between the attending physician and the specialist.

[0061] As a specific example, the device 100 may refer to the consultation auxiliary information stored in the database 104 according to the received medical department identifier or consultation content, and include an alternative to the consultation text included in the consultation content in the confirmation request and transmit the result to the first terminal 110. A doctor using the first terminal 110 may view the alternative displayed based on the confirmation request and re-input and correct the consultation text, or select the displayed alternative and correct the consultation text.
