[0023] First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of an information processing system S according to a first embodiment. The information processing system S is a system for supporting a process in which a medical institution places an order for products to be used in surgery with a supplier. The products are, for example, products used in surgery, and specifically, medical devices, medical instruments, or medical supplies. The products may be implanted in a patient's body, and specifically, may be an artificial tooth root (implant body), an artificial joint, an artificial bone, a bolt, or the like.

[0024] A medical institution is, for example, a hospital that can perform surgery. A delivery organization is, for example, an agency that delivers products procured from a manufacturer to a medical institution. However, if a medical institution orders products directly from a manufacturer without going through an agency, the delivery organization may also be the manufacturer. In the following, unless otherwise specified, we will use as an example a case where the medical institution is a hospital, the delivery organization is an agency, and the product is an artificial dental root (implant body).

[0025] Conventionally, when a medical institution orders products from a supplier, the ordering staff at the medical institution had to input detailed information about the products to be used in surgery, which resulted in a heavy burden on the ordering process. Also, if the ordering staff placed an order without inputting detailed product information, an experienced staff member at the supplier had to identify the products to be delivered by taking into account past delivery records, which resulted in a heavy burden on the supplier.

[0026] Therefore, the information processing system S outputs ordering information indicating candidate products to be ordered by the medical institution. This eliminates the need for the ordering person to input detailed product information, thereby reducing the burden associated with product ordering work. The information processing system S includes an ordering terminal 1, a delivery terminal 2, and an information processing device 3.

[0027] The ordering terminal 1 is an information terminal used by an ordering person at a medical institution (for example, a nurse managing surgery), and may be, for example, a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone. The delivery terminal 2 is an information terminal used by a delivery person at a delivery institution that delivers products to a medical institution, and may be, for example, a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone. The information processing device 3 is a computer that creates order information indicating order candidates, and may be, for example, a server. The information processing device 3 is capable of sending and receiving data to and from the ordering terminal 1 and the delivery terminal 2. When an agency receives an order from a medical institution and places an order for products with a manufacturer, the information terminal used by the agency's sales representative may be the ordering terminal 1, and the information terminal used by the manufacturer's delivery person may be the delivery terminal 2.

[0028] The basic operation of the information processing system S will be described below with reference to Figure 1. In response to an ordering person at a medical institution inputting surgery details into the ordering terminal 1, the ordering terminal 1 transmits surgery information indicating the medical institution to which the ordering person belongs and the input surgery details (e.g., implant insertion) to the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 references product management data in which registered medical institutions, registered surgery details, and registered products are associated, and identifies the medical institution and registered product associated with the surgery details indicated in the received surgery information. Registered products are products that have been registered in advance as products to be used when surgery corresponding to the registered surgery details is performed at a registered medical institution. The information processing device 3 transmits order information to the ordering terminal 1 indicating the identified registered products as candidates for order.

[0029] The ordering terminal 1 displays the order candidates indicated by the received ordering information. The ordering person refers to the displayed order candidates and confirms the order items to be ordered. The ordering terminal 1 transmits confirmed order information indicating the confirmed order items to the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 transmits the received confirmed order information to the delivery terminal 2. This allows the delivery person at the delivery institution to deliver the ordered items indicated by the confirmed order information to the medical institution.

[0030] As explained above, in the information processing system S, the ordering person simply selects the product they wish to order from the products displayed as ordering candidates to confirm the order, eliminating the need to input detailed information about the product to be ordered as in the past. As a result, the burden of ordering products used in surgery can be reduced.

[0031] The information processing device 3 may generate a digital purchase order based on the received confirmed order information and transmit the generated digital purchase order to the delivery terminal 2. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a digital purchase order. The digital purchase order may include, for example, the ordering medical institution, the ordering person, the ordered product, the order quantity, and the desired delivery date. By having the information processing device 3 generate the digital purchase order in this way, the ordering person does not need to generate the purchase order, further reducing the burden associated with the ordering process.

[0032] Based on the received order confirmation information, the information processing device 3 may generate a digital delivery confirmation for the delivery person at the delivery institution to confirm the items to be delivered to the medical institution, and transmit the generated digital delivery confirmation to the delivery terminal 2. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a digital delivery confirmation. The digital delivery confirmation includes the destination medical institution, the person in charge of delivery, the delivered products, the number of items to be delivered, and the delivery deadline. By having the information processing device 3 generate the digital delivery confirmation in this way, the delivery person does not need to generate the delivery confirmation, thereby reducing the burden associated with delivery work.

[0033] [Configuration of Ordering Terminal 1] The following describes the configuration of the ordering terminal 1. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the ordering terminal 1. The ordering terminal 1 includes an order communication unit 11, a display unit 12, an operation unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15. The control unit 15 includes a display processing unit 151 and an operation reception unit 152.

[0034] The order communication unit 11 is a communication interface for communicating with the information processing device 3 via a communication network such as the Internet. The order communication unit 11 transmits surgery information indicating the medical institution and surgery content input from the operation reception unit 152 to the information processing device 3. The order communication unit 11 inputs order information indicating order candidates received from the information processing device 3 to the display processing unit 151. The order communication unit 11 transmits order confirmation information indicating the ordered items confirmed based on the order candidates input from the operation reception unit 152 to the information processing device 3.

[0035] The display unit 12 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, etc. The display unit 12 displays various information under the control of the display processing unit 151. The display unit 12 displays order candidates indicated by the order information. The operation unit 13 is a device that receives operations from an ordering person, and is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel.

[0036] The storage unit 14 is a storage medium including a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The storage unit 14 stores a program executed by the control unit 15. For example, the storage unit 14 stores a program that causes the control unit 15 to function as a display processing unit 151 and an operation receiving unit 152.

[0037] The control unit 15 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 15 executes a program stored in the storage unit 14, thereby functioning as a display processing unit 151 and an operation receiving unit 152.

[0038] The display processing unit 151 displays various types of information on the display unit 12. The display processing unit 151 displays, for example, order candidates indicated by the order information input from the order communication unit 11 on the display unit 12.

[0039] The operation reception unit 152 receives the details of the surgery from the ordering person, and inputs surgery information indicating the medical institution to which the ordering person belongs and the received details of the surgery to the order communication unit 11. The operation reception unit 152 also receives the ordered items confirmed based on the order candidates from the ordering person, and inputs confirmed order information indicating the accepted ordered items to the order communication unit 11.

[0040] [Configuration of Delivery Terminal 2] The following describes the configuration of the delivery terminal 2. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the delivery terminal 2. The delivery terminal 2 includes a delivery communication unit 21, a display unit 22, an operation unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a control unit 25. The control unit 25 includes a display processing unit 251 and an operation reception unit 252.

[0041] The delivery communication unit 21 is a communication interface for communicating with the information processing device 3 via a communication network such as the Internet. The delivery communication unit 21 inputs the confirmed order information received from the information processing device 3 to the display processing unit 251.

[0042] The display unit 22 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display, etc. The display unit 22 displays various information under the control of the display processing unit 251. The display unit 22 displays the confirmed ordered items indicated by the order confirmation information. The operation unit 23 is a device that receives operations from the delivery person, and is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel.

[0043] The storage unit 24 is a storage medium including a ROM, a RAM, etc. The storage unit 24 stores a program executed by the control unit 25. For example, the storage unit 24 stores a program that causes the control unit 25 to function as a display processing unit 251 and an operation receiving unit 252.

[0044] The control unit 25 is, for example, a CPU. The control unit 25 executes a program stored in the storage unit 24, thereby functioning as a display processing unit 251 and an operation receiving unit 252.

[0045] The display processing unit 251 displays various types of information on the display unit 22. For example, the display processing unit 251 displays on the display unit 22 the confirmed ordered items indicated by the order confirmation information input from the delivery communication unit 21.

[0046] The operation reception unit 252 receives various information input by the delivery person's operation, and inputs the received information to the delivery communication unit 21.

[0047] [Configuration of information processing device 3] The following describes the configuration of the information processing device 3. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 includes a device communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a control unit 33. The control unit 33 includes an acquisition unit 331, a registered product identification unit 332, an output unit 333, and a used product identification unit 334.

[0048] The device communication unit 31 is a communication interface for communicating with the ordering terminal 1 and the delivery terminal 2 via a communication network such as the Internet. The device communication unit 31 inputs the surgery information received from the ordering terminal 1 to the acquisition unit 331. The device communication unit 31 transmits the order information input from the output unit 333 to the ordering terminal 1. The device communication unit 31 inputs the confirmed order information received from the ordering terminal 1 to the output unit 333. The device communication unit 31 transmits the confirmed order information input from the output unit 333 to the delivery terminal 2.

[0049] The storage unit 32 is a storage medium including a ROM, a RAM, etc. The storage unit 32 stores a program executed by the control unit 33. For example, the storage unit 32 stores an information processing program that causes the control unit 33 to function as an acquisition unit 331, a registered product identification unit 332, an output unit 333, and a used product identification unit 334. The storage unit 32 stores product management data, usage history data, and delivery organization data.

[0050] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of product management data. Product management data is a database for managing products by pre-registering (for example, by an ordering person at a medical institution) products to be used in surgery. The product management data associates registered medical institutions, registered surgery details, registered surgeons, registered patient attributes, registered products, the planned number of registered products to be used, and inventory quantities. Patient attributes are patient attributes that may affect the decision on products to be used in surgery, such as the patient's age, body type, sex, medical history, blood type, or constitution. The planned number of registered products to be used is the number of registered products to be used in surgery. The planned number of registered products is, for example, the number of registered products registered by an ordering person in anticipation of being used in surgery. The inventory quantity is the number of registered products currently in stock at the medical institution.

[0051] Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of usage history data. The usage history data is data for managing the usage history of registered products, and is updated every time a surgery is performed at a medical institution. The usage history data associates the medical institution, the surgery content, the surgeon, the patient attributes, the date and time of the surgery, the product used, and the number of products used.

[0052] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of supplier data. The supplier data is a database for managing, for example, which supplier is responsible for delivering a product to a certain medical institution, or which supplier is responsible for delivering a certain product. In the supplier data, registered medical institutions, registered products, and supplier organizations are associated with each other. A supplier is an organization that delivers registered products to medical institutions.

[0053] The control unit 33 is, for example, a CPU. The control unit 33 executes an information processing program stored in the storage unit 32, thereby functioning as an acquisition unit 331, a registered product identification unit 332, an output unit 333, and a used product identification unit 334.

[0054] The acquisition unit 331 acquires surgery information indicating the medical institution and the details of the surgery. The acquisition unit 331 acquires the surgery information, for example, by receiving the surgery information via the device communication unit 31. The acquisition unit 331 may also acquire surgery information that further indicates the surgeon in charge of the surgery. The acquisition unit 331 may also acquire surgery information that further indicates patient attributes. The acquisition unit 331 inputs the acquired surgery information to the registered product identification unit 332.

[0055] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a surgery information input screen displayed on the ordering terminal 1. On the surgery information input screen, the ordering person inputs the surgery details, the surgeon in charge of surgery, and the patient attributes, and then selects "Display search results." In response to the selection of "Display search results," the ordering terminal 1 transmits surgery information indicating the medical institution to which the ordering person who made the selection belongs, the input surgery details, the input surgeon in charge of surgery, and the input patient attributes to the information processing device 3. In this way, the acquisition unit 331 can acquire the surgery information transmitted from the ordering terminal 1.

[0056] The registered product identification unit 332 refers to product management data that associates registered medical institutions, registered surgery details, and registered products, and identifies registered products associated with the medical institution and surgery details indicated by the acquired surgery information. The output unit 333 outputs order information that indicates the identified registered products as ordering candidates. The output unit 333 outputs the order information by, for example, transmitting the order information to the ordering terminal 1 via the device communication unit 31.

[0057] The registered product identification unit 332, for example, refers to the product management data to identify registered products associated with the medical institution and surgery details indicated by the surgery information input from the acquisition unit 331. By operating the registered product identification unit 332 in this manner, the output unit 333 can display registered products that are likely to be used in a certain surgery at a certain medical institution as ordering candidates, thereby reducing the load associated with ordering operations.

[0058] Even if the medical institution and surgery details are the same, if the surgeon is different, the usage trends of the registered product may differ. Therefore, the registered product identification unit 332 may refer to product management data that associates the registered medical institution, registered surgery details, registered surgeon, and registered product, and identify the registered product associated with the medical institution, surgery details, and surgeon indicated in the acquired surgery information. By operating the registered product identification unit 332 in this manner, the output unit 333 can display registered products that are compatible with the surgeon as ordering candidates, which is expected to have effects such as improving the quality of surgery or shortening the surgery time.

[0059] Furthermore, even if the medical institution and surgical procedure are the same, if the patient attributes are different, the usage trends of registered products may differ. Therefore, the registered product identification unit 332 may refer to product management data that associates the registered medical institution, registered surgical procedure, registered patient attributes, and registered products, and identify the registered product associated with the medical institution, surgical procedure, and patient attributes indicated by the acquired surgical information. By operating the registered product identification unit 332 in this manner, the output unit 333 can display registered products that are more suitable for surgery on patients with specific attributes as ordering candidates, which is expected to have effects such as improving the quality of surgery, shortening the surgery time, and reducing the burden on the patient.

[0060] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an order confirmation screen displayed on the ordering terminal 1. The output unit 333 displays the order candidates indicated by the order information. The output unit 333 also displays the planned usage quantity (maximum value) associated with the registered product of the order candidate in the product management data (FIG. 7) as the initial order quantity. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, it is possible to order the maximum number of products to be used in surgery, thereby preventing product shortages during surgery.

[0061] The output unit 333 may also identify the planned use quantity and stock quantity associated with the registered product that is a candidate for ordering in the product management data (FIG. 7), and display the required quantity, which is the value obtained by subtracting the specified stock quantity from the specified planned use quantity, as the initial order quantity. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, it is possible to order only the required amount of product taking into account the inventory situation at the medical institution, thereby preventing product shortages during surgery while also preventing ordering more product than necessary.

[0062] On the order confirmation screen, the ordering person confirms the order by entering the order quantity and selecting "Place order." In response to the selection of "Place order," the ordering terminal 1 transmits order confirmation information indicating the confirmed ordered items and order quantity to the information processing device 3. The output unit 333 transmits the received order confirmation information to the delivery terminal 2. This allows the delivery person at the delivery organization to know the registered products to be delivered.

[0063] The output unit 333 may initially display on the order confirmation screen the date of delivery of the registered product candidate for order to the medical institution, which is the surgery date entered on the surgery information input screen minus the preparation period required for surgery. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, the ordering person can confirm the order with the initially displayed delivery date, or can confirm the order with a new delivery date that is a change from the initially displayed delivery date. Note that, because the preparation period for surgery may differ for each medical institution, the storage unit 32 may store the preparation period in association with the medical institution.

[0064] Incidentally, medical institutions often order products from specific agencies. Therefore, the output unit 333 may refer to supplier data (FIG. 9) that associates registered medical institutions with supplier agencies, and identify the supplier associated with the medical institution that transmitted the surgery information to the information processing device 3. Then, the output unit 333 may transmit order confirmation information indicating the ordered items confirmed based on the order candidates to the identified supplier. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, the ordering person at the medical institution (Hospital A in FIG. 9) that orders products from a specific agency can place an order without specifying an agency, further reducing the burden associated with ordering work.

[0065] On the other hand, there are medical institutions that order products from specific agencies, but use different agencies depending on the product being ordered. Therefore, the output unit 333 may refer to the delivery agency data (FIG. 9) that associates registered products with delivery agencies, and identify the delivery agency associated with the registered product identified by the registered product identification unit 332. The output unit 333 may then transmit order confirmation information indicating the ordered products confirmed based on the order candidates to the identified delivery agency. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, an ordering person at a medical institution (Hospital B in FIG. 9) that uses different delivery agencies depending on the product being ordered can place an order without specifying an agency for each product being ordered, thereby further reducing the burden associated with ordering work.

[0066] In the above description, it is assumed that the product management data is created by an ordering person at a medical institution. However, it is desirable that the number of products actually used in a surgery be reflected in the product management data. Therefore, the used product identification unit 334 may identify used products by comparing information indicating a list of delivered products with information indicating a list of unused products, and create or update the product management data based on the number of identified used products. The information indicating the list of delivered products may be an image of multiple delivered products (e.g., product storage boxes) brought into the operating room taken before the surgery, or may be text containing the names or identification information of the delivered products. The information indicating the list of unused products may be an image of only the used products remaining after the surgery out of the multiple delivered products brought into the operating room taken, or may be text containing the names or identification information of the unused products.

[0067] To create or update the product management data, the used product identification unit 334 first updates the usage history data shown in FIG. 8 based on the result of identifying the number of used products. Next, the used product identification unit 334 creates the product management data by determining the planned number of used products corresponding to the registered surgery content in which the used products were used based on the identified number of used products. For example, the used product identification unit 334 identifies the used products in response to receiving notification that the surgery has ended, and updates the product management data based on the identified number of used products. The used product identification unit 334 may determine the maximum number of used products among the numbers of used products used on different surgery dates and times as the planned number of used products.

[0068] In this way, when the used product identification unit 334 creates product management data based on the usage count of the identified used products, the output unit 333 outputs order information based on the identified used products. The output unit 333 may output order information indicating the used products as priority order candidates that should be ordered preferentially, among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332. For example, the output unit 333 displays, on the order confirmation screen, products whose planned usage count in the product management data ( FIG. 7 ) is equal to or exceeds a predetermined threshold, as priority order candidates.

[0069] The output unit 333 may output order information that does not indicate unused products as order candidates among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332. For example, the output unit 333 identifies, among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332, products whose planned usage quantity is 0 in the product management data (FIG. 7) as unused products, and does not display the identified unused products as order candidates on the order confirmation screen. This prevents unused products from being ordered.

[0070] The output unit 333 may output order information that indicates, as order candidates, used products and unused products in different display modes among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332. For example, the output unit 333 displays the used products and unused products on the order confirmation screen in a state in which the characters indicating the identified unused products are smaller or lighter than the characters indicating the identified used products.

[0071] In this way, the output unit 333 outputs order candidates in a manner that allows used products and unused products to be distinguished, allowing the ordering staff to efficiently identify used products as products that are likely to be used in the current surgery. As a result, the burden of ordering work can be reduced and the occurrence of many products that will not be used in the current surgery can be prevented.

[0072] Furthermore, the supplying organization cannot bill the medical institution for products returned by the medical institution. By preventing the medical institution from ordering products that are unlikely to be used in surgery from the supplying organization, the supplying organization can reduce the delivery of products for which there is a possibility that the supplying organization will not be able to bill for the products. As a result, the supplying organization can reduce logistics costs. Furthermore, it can prevent the occurrence of a situation (loss of sales opportunity) in which a product is delivered to a medical institution even though there is a low probability that the product will be used in surgery at that medical institution, and the product cannot be delivered to another medical institution.

[0073] In addition, a delivery institution may return products returned by a medical institution to a manufacturer, and the manufacturer may compare the returned products with an invoice indicating the charges the delivery institution made to the medical institution to identify the used products and bill the delivery institution for the amount of the used products. However, this matching process requires time and effort for the manufacturer. Therefore, the output unit 333 may send confirmation data showing a list of unused products to a terminal of a billing officer at the manufacturer.

[0074] If the list of unused products indicated by the confirmation data matches the returned products from the delivery organization, the billing officer at the manufacturer enters approval information indicating approval (for example, by selecting the approval button on the screen displaying the confirmation data). In response to the approval information being entered, the billing officer's terminal sends billing data to the delivery organization, invoicing the delivery organization for the amount of the products used. In this way, the billing officer at the manufacturer can efficiently confirm the products used and process the bill to the delivery organization.

[0075] However, it may be possible that the used product identified by the used product identification unit 334 is not properly implanted in the body. To enable a medical institution's personnel to confirm that the identified used product is actually implanted in the body, the output unit 333 may determine, for example, whether the identified used product matches a registered product included in an image of the patient after surgery.

[0076] The output unit 333 identifies the registered product included in the patient image, for example, by comparing the shapes of the multiple registered products stored in the storage unit 32 with the shape of an object included in an image of the patient after surgery (hereinafter referred to as the patient image). Specifically, the output unit 333 identifies the registered product among the multiple registered products that has the greatest similarity to the shape of the object included in the patient image as the registered product included in the patient image. The output unit 333 may also identify the size of the product included in the patient image based on the length of a part (e.g., a front tooth) whose length is known in the image of the patient after surgery, and identify the registered product among the multiple registered products that has a size closest to the identified size as the registered product included in the patient image.

[0077] The output unit 333 outputs information indicating whether the identified used products match the registered products included in the image of the patient after surgery. If the used products identified by the used product identification unit 334 do not match the registered products included in the image of the patient's body (including the oral cavity) after surgery, the output unit 333 may issue an alarm to a terminal used by a medical institution staff member. If the number of used products identified by the used product identification unit 334 does not match the number of registered products included in the image of the patient after surgery, the output unit 333 may issue an alarm indicating that there may be some used products identified by the used product identification unit 334 that have not been implanted in the patient's body.

[0078] In this way, the output unit 333 outputs confirmation information indicating that the used product identified by the used product identification unit 334 may not have been properly implanted in the body, allowing medical institution personnel to check, for example, whether there is any product that has not been properly implanted in the patient's body and has fallen into the corner of the operating room.

[0079] [Flow of processing executed by information processing device 3] 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the information processing device 3. The use product specification unit 334 updates the planned usage number of registered products in the product management data registered in advance by medical personnel as follows.

[0080] The used item specifying unit 334 acquires a delivery image, which is an image of multiple delivery items (e.g., product storage boxes) brought into the operating room taken before the surgery (S1).The used item specifying unit 334 acquires a return image, which is an image of only the used products remaining after the surgery, of the multiple delivery items brought into the operating room (S2).

[0081] The used product identification unit 334 identifies the products used in the surgery by comparing the delivery image acquired in S1 with the return image acquired in S2 (S3). Based on the results of identifying the products used, the used product identification unit 334 creates usage history data indicating the number of products used (S4).

[0082] The used product identifying unit 334 identifies the maximum number of used products in a predetermined period in the usage history data created in S4 (S5). Then, the used product identifying unit 334 determines whether the maximum number identified in S5 is greater than the currently planned number of used products in the product management data (S6). The used product identifying unit 334 may perform this determination periodically (for example, once a month).

[0083] If the usage item identification unit 334 determines that the maximum value identified in S5 is greater than the current planned usage count of the registered product (S6: YES), the product management data is updated by rewriting the current planned usage count of the registered product in the product management data to the maximum value identified in S5 (S7).

[0084] On the other hand, if the usage item identification unit 334 determines that the maximum value identified in S5 is equal to or less than the current planned usage number of the registered product (S6: NO), it does not rewrite the current planned usage number of the registered product in the product management data (i.e., it does not update the product management data).

[0085] In this way, the use product identification unit 334 periodically updates the planned usage count of registered products in the product management data registered in advance by medical professionals, thereby improving the accuracy of the order count initially displayed on the order confirmation screen by the output unit 333. Note that if it is determined in S6 a predetermined number of consecutive times that the maximum usage count of the used products in a predetermined period is less than the planned usage count of the registered products in the product management data, the use product identification unit 334 may update the product management data to reduce the planned usage count of the registered products in the product management data. This prevents an excessive number of products from being ordered despite a decrease in usage count.

[0086] [Effects of information processing device 3] As described above, the registered product identification unit 332 refers to the product management data to identify registered products associated with the medical institution and surgery details indicated by the surgery information acquired by the acquisition unit 331, and the output unit 333 outputs ordering information indicating the identified registered products as ordering candidates. This eliminates the need to input detailed information about the products to be ordered, as in the past. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden associated with the ordering process for products used in surgery.

[0087] Furthermore, the used product identification unit 334 identifies the products used in the surgery by comparing information indicating a list of delivered products with information indicating a list of unused products not used in the surgery, and the output unit 333 outputs order candidates in a manner that allows used products and unused products to be distinguished from each other when placing orders next time and thereafter. This allows the ordering staff to efficiently identify products that are likely to be used in the surgery. As a result, the burden associated with ordering work can be reduced and the occurrence of many products not being used in the surgery can be prevented.

[0088] Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, an example was described in which the output unit 333 refers to the surgery information transmitted from the ordering terminal 1 and displays the identified registered products as order candidates on the ordering terminal 1, and the ordering staff confirms the ordered products by referring to the displayed order candidates. In contrast, in the second embodiment, an example will be described in which the registered products identified by referring to the surgery information transmitted from the ordering terminal 1 are confirmed as the ordered products as they are.

[0089] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an overview of an information processing system S according to the second embodiment. As in the first embodiment, the ordering terminal 1 transmits surgery information to the information processing device 3. As in the first embodiment, the registered product identification unit 332 refers to product management data in which registered medical institutions, registered surgery details, and registered products are associated, and identifies the registered product associated with the medical institution and surgery details indicated in the surgery information transmitted from the ordering terminal 1. The processing up to this point is the same as in the first embodiment, but unlike the first embodiment, the output unit 333 transmits order information indicating the identified registered product as an order candidate to the delivery terminal 2 without transmitting it to the ordering terminal 1. The delivery terminal 2 receives the order information from the information processing device 3. This allows the delivery person at the delivery institution to know the registered products to be delivered.

[0090] In this way, the output unit 333 sends the order information indicating the order candidates directly to the delivery terminal 2 without sending it to the ordering terminal 1, so that the ordering staff does not need to confirm the ordered items by referring to the order candidates on the order confirmation screen (Fig. 11), and can confirm the ordered items by simply entering the surgery information on the surgery information input screen (Fig. 10). As a result, the burden on the ordering staff related to the ordering work can be further reduced.

[0091] In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the output unit 333 may also transmit order information indicating order candidates to a supply institution identified by referring to the supply institution data. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, the ordering person can place an order without specifying a supply institution, thereby further reducing the burden associated with the ordering process.

[0092] Furthermore, the output unit 333 may transmit to the delivery institution order information indicating, as order candidates, the use products identified by the use product identification unit 334 from among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332. For example, the output unit 333 transmits to the delivery institution order information indicating, as order candidates, products whose planned usage quantity is not 0 in the product management data (FIG. 7) from among the registered products identified by the registered product identification unit 332. By operating the output unit 333 in this manner, the medical institution can restrain from ordering products that are unlikely to be used in surgery.

[0093] <Third embodiment> In the first embodiment, an example is described in which an ordering person at a medical institution selects an ordered product from among the identified registered products. In the third embodiment, an example is described in which a delivery person at a delivery institution (a sales person at an agency) selects an ordered product to be ordered from a manufacturer from among the identified registered products.

[0094] 14 is a diagram showing an overview of an information processing system S according to the third embodiment. The ordering terminal 1 transmits surgery information to the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 identifies registered products based on the received surgery information, and transmits order information to the delivery terminal 2 with the identified registered products as order candidates.

[0095] The delivery terminal 2 displays the order candidates indicated by the received order information. The delivery person at the delivery institution refers to the displayed order candidates and confirms the order items to be ordered from the manufacturer. The delivery terminal 2 transmits order confirmation information indicating the confirmed order items to the ordering terminal 1 via the information processing device 3.

[0096] The ordering terminal 1 displays the ordered items indicated by the received order confirmation information. If a nurse or doctor at the medical institution checks the ordered items and determines that there are no problems, they input into the ordering terminal 1 that they accept the ordered items.

[0097] If a nurse or doctor at the medical institution checks the ordered items and determines that they should be corrected, the ordering terminal 1 sends the correction request data to the delivery terminal 2. When the delivery terminal 2 receives the correction request data, the delivery person at the delivery institution reconfirms the ordered items by correcting the ordered items to be ordered from the manufacturer. The delivery terminal 2 sends order confirmation information indicating the reconfirmed ordered items to the ordering terminal 1 via the information processing device 3. If the nurse or doctor at the medical institution checks the ordered items again and determines that there are no problems, they input their consent to the ordered items into the ordering terminal 1.

[0098] The ordering terminal 1 transmits approval data indicating approval of the ordered items to the delivery terminal 2 via the information processing device 3. Upon receiving the approval data, the delivery terminal 2 transmits the same order confirmation information as the order confirmation information transmitted to the ordering terminal 1 to the manufacturer terminal 4 used by the manufacturer's personnel. This allows the delivery organization to purchase the confirmed ordered items from the manufacturer and deliver the purchased ordered items to the medical institution.

[0099] As explained above, in the third embodiment, the delivery person at the delivery institution refers to the displayed order candidates and selects the order items to be ordered from the manufacturer. This makes it possible to order more appropriate products in cases where the delivery institution staff are more familiar with the products used in surgery than the medical institution staff. Furthermore, the medical institution staff can simply refer to the order items selected by the delivery institution staff and approve them if there are no problems, thereby reducing the workload of the medical institution staff in preparing for surgery.

[0100] The present invention has been described above using embodiments, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, all or part of the device can be configured by functionally or physically distributing or integrating any unit. Furthermore, new embodiments resulting from any combination of multiple embodiments are also included in the embodiments of the present invention. The effects of the new embodiments resulting from the combination also have the effects of the original embodiments.

[0101] All or part of the processing performed by the information processing device 3 described above may be executed by the order terminal 1 or the delivery terminal 2. Furthermore, part of the processing performed by the information processing device 3 may be executed by an external device other than the order terminal 1 and the delivery terminal 2. For example, when the used item specifying unit 334 performs processing using images, the load on the information processing device 3 can be effectively reduced by having an external device execute the processing performed by the used item specifying unit 334.
