[0001] The present disclosure relates to a hygiene management system. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a hygiene management system that "is capable of issuing a culture medium label that has a culture medium ID to be affixed to the film-type culture medium to distinguish it from other culture media and readable information in which at least part of the work information is formed so that it can be read by the worker, in order to manage data on general-purpose film-type culture media that do not have identification information provided as standard to distinguish them from other film-type culture media." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-026472 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The hygiene management system is used by multiple facilities that perform testing for bacteria, etc. In such facilities that perform testing for bacteria and other test target substances, it is possible to perform hygiene management within the facility by storing information in the hygiene management system database. However, the information stored in the database is only available to the facility that stored the information, and there is currently no attempt to share the information. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A hygiene management system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a hygiene management system used by multiple facilities that conduct testing of test target substances, and includes a facility skill information receiving unit that receives facility information and skill information of the facilities, a facility skill information determination unit that determines whether the facility information and skill information pass or fail, and an authority granting unit that grants a facility that has been determined to pass by the facility skill information determination unit the authority to view the hygiene management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view it.

[0006] In this form of sanitation management system, the facility skill information receiving unit receives facility information and skill information for the facility, and the facility skill information determining unit determines whether the facility information and skill information pass or fail. In the sanitation management system, the authorization unit grants a facility that is determined to pass the facility information and skill information pass or fail to the facility that is determined to pass the facility information and skill information a right to view the sanitation management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the facility information. Therefore, by granting the right to a facility that is determined to pass based on the facility information and skill information, facilities that meet certain conditions can be allowed to share information with other facilities. This allows data sharing while ensuring the reliability of the database, thereby improving the usefulness of the sanitation management system.

[0007] The facility information may include ISO17025 certification information.

[0008] The skill information may include the level of external quality control.

[0009] A hygiene management system according to another embodiment may include a facility skill information update unit that requests the facility to update the facility information and skill information after a certain period of time has elapsed since the authorization unit granted the authority.

[0010] A hygiene management system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is a hygiene management system used by multiple facilities that conduct testing of test target substances, and includes a memory unit that stores hygiene management information for the test target substances at the multiple facilities, a keyword receiving unit that receives search keywords from the facilities for searching for hygiene management information, a hygiene management information extraction unit that extracts hygiene management information that matches the search keywords from the memory unit, and a hygiene management information transmission unit that transmits the hygiene management information extracted by the hygiene management information extraction unit to the facilities.

[0011] In this type of sanitation management system, the storage unit stores sanitation management information for multiple facilities, and the sanitation management information extraction unit extracts sanitation management information that matches the search keywords from the storage unit. The extracted sanitation management information is then transmitted to the facility by the sanitation management information transmission unit. Therefore, as with the sanitation management system described above, sanitation management information for other facilities can be transmitted to the facility, allowing the facility to view the sanitation management information for the other facilities. As a result, sanitation management information can be shared and the usefulness of the sanitation management system can be improved.

[0012] The hygiene management information extraction unit may extract information on the number of test target substances obtained by the test.

[0013] The hygiene management information extraction unit may extract image data of the test target substance obtained by the test.

[0014] The hygiene management information extraction unit may extract the inspection details of the inspection target substance.

[0015] A hygiene management method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a hygiene management method used by multiple facilities that conduct testing of test subjects, and includes the steps of a facility transmitting facility information and skill information for the facility, receiving a pass / fail judgment result for the facility information and skill information, and a facility that receives a pass judgment result in the receiving step viewing the hygiene management information of other facilities.

[0016] A hygiene management method according to another aspect of the present disclosure is a hygiene management method used by a plurality of facilities that conduct testing of test target substances, and includes the steps of receiving facility information and skill information of the facility from the facility, determining whether the facility passes or fails based on the facility information and skill information, transmitting the pass / fail result to the facility, and granting authority to a facility that is determined to pass in the pass / fail determining step to view the hygiene management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the information.

[0017] A hygiene management program according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a hygiene management program used by multiple facilities that conduct testing of test subjects, and includes the steps of receiving facility information and skill information from the facility, determining whether the facility passes or fails based on the facility information and skill information, transmitting the pass / fail result to the facility, and granting authority to a facility that is determined to pass in the pass / fail determination step to view the hygiene management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the information.

[0018] In these sanitation management methods and sanitation management programs, facility information and skill information for each of multiple facilities are transmitted and received, and the pass / fail status of the facility is determined based on the facility information and skill information. The facility is then notified of the pass / fail result, and the facility determined to have passed is granted the authority to view the sanitation management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view it. Therefore, for example, a facility determined to have passed can view the sanitation management information of other facilities in exchange for allowing other facilities to view the sanitation management information of other facilities. Therefore, by sharing sanitation management information while ensuring the reliability of the database, the usefulness of the sanitation management system can be improved. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present disclosure, the usefulness of a hygiene management system can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Below, embodiments of the hygiene management system, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, identical or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, the drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings. Furthermore, the layout of the screens used in the hygiene management system, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program are not limited to the examples described below and can be modified as appropriate.

[0022] The hygiene management system, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to the present embodiment are, by way of example, a system, method, and program for managing food hygiene. In the hygiene management industry, including food hygiene, testing for target substances such as bacteria is conducted within facilities, but information on testing methods, standards, and the like varies from facility to facility. Currently, information on the methods and standards used in hygiene management systems, hygiene management methods, and hygiene management programs is not shared among multiple facilities. For this reason, for example, when determining testing methods and standards for one's own facility or when verifying the validity of results obtained at one's own facility, it is not possible to view and refer to information from other facilities. On the other hand, simply attempting to share information among multiple facilities raises concerns that unreliable information may be mixed or accumulated, reducing the reliability of the database.

[0023] In the sanitation management system, sanitation management method, and sanitation management program according to the present embodiment, for example, by allowing some facilities to view sanitation management information of other facilities, it is possible to realize the sharing of sanitation management information and ensure the reliability of the database. In other words, by allowing some facilities to share sanitation management information with other facilities, the reliability of the database is maintained while the sanitation management information of other facilities can be used as a reference, which contributes to improving the usefulness of the sanitation management system.

[0024] In the present disclosure, "hygiene management information" refers to information relating to the testing of test subjects. For example, "hygiene management information" includes at least one of the following: test criteria for the test subject, test subject, test content, test results, and test method. "Test subjects" include various bacteria, including pathogenic bacteria and hygiene indicator bacteria, as well as allergens (proteins, etc.), and in this embodiment, an example will be described in which the "test subject" is hygiene indicator bacteria.

[0025] "Specimen" refers to an object to be inspected, and includes, for example, a measurement object in which the number of bacteria (bacterial count), which is a type of inspection target substance, is measured. "Hygiene control" refers to managing the hygiene state of a specimen by measuring the number or presence of inspection target substances such as pathogens, allergens, or food hygiene bacteria that may be contained in the specimen, and includes, for example, food hygiene control and environmental hygiene control.

[0026] In this disclosure, "facility" refers to a facility where testing of test target materials is performed, and includes, for example, the company that performs the testing and the laboratory where the testing is performed. One company may own multiple "facilities." "Facility information" refers to information about the facility where the testing is performed, and includes, for example, equipment information such as whether the facility is equipped with sufficient equipment to perform the testing. "Skill information" refers to information about the skills of the inspectors who perform the testing at the facility.

[0027] The hygiene management system 1 according to the embodiment is, for example, a computer system used to perform hygiene management for testing test target substances. There are no limitations on the type of test target substance. There are no limitations on the type or configuration of the equipment that functions as the hygiene management system 1. For example, the hygiene management system 1 may be configured as a single computer, such as a tablet terminal, a high-function mobile phone (smartphone), or a laptop personal computer, or it may be a stationary personal computer. Alternatively, the hygiene management system 1 may be a distributed processing system configured by multiple computers, or a client-server system, or a cloud system.

[0028] The hygiene management program according to this embodiment includes, for example, a main module, a data acquisition module, an image analysis module, a determination module, and an output module. The main module is a module that comprehensively manages the functions of the hygiene management system 1. By executing the data acquisition module, image analysis module, determination module, and output module, each functional component of the hygiene management system 1 functions. The hygiene management program may be provided by being permanently recorded on a tangible recording medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or semiconductor memory. Alternatively, the hygiene management program may be provided via a communication network as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

[0029] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of an exemplary hygiene management system 1. The hygiene management system 1 includes, for example, a server 20. The exemplary server 20 is capable of communicating with each of the terminals 10 at multiple facilities (for example, inspectors). In this disclosure, "inspector" refers to a person who inspects samples. "Terminal" includes information terminals such as personal computers and mobile terminals, and mobile terminals include portable terminals such as laptops, tablets, or mobile phones.

[0030] The server 20 has, as functional components, a memory unit 21, a display control unit 22, an identification code output unit 23, an input unit 24, a pass / fail determination unit 25, an approval request unit 26, an inspection content output unit 27, a tampering determination unit 28, a facility skill information receiving unit 29, a facility skill information determination unit 30, a facility skill information update unit 31, an authorization granting unit 32, a keyword receiving unit 33, a hygiene management information extraction unit 34, and a hygiene management information transmitting unit 35.

[0031] The memory unit 21 stores information received by the server 20 from the terminal 10 and information generated within the server 20. The memory unit 21 stores sanitation management information of a plurality of facilities in a database. The display control unit 22 controls the screen displayed on the terminal 10. The identification code output unit 23 outputs an identification code C (see FIG. 14) described later. The input unit 24 receives input of the number of tested bacteria (the number of test target substances).

[0032] The pass / fail determination unit 25 determines whether the bacterial count is pass / fail. For example, the pass / fail determination unit 25 determines whether the bacterial count is pass / fail by comparing the bacterial count input to the input unit 24 with a threshold value output to the identification code C. The pass / fail determination unit 25 may determine a failure when the bacterial count input to the input unit 24 is equal to or greater than the threshold, and may determine a pass when the bacterial count input to the input unit 24 is less than the threshold. The approval request unit 26 is a function that requests approval to ship a sample that has been determined to pass / fail. The test content output unit 27 is a function that outputs the test content, for example, outputting a list of samples to be tested for bacterial count. The tampering determination unit 28 determines whether the bacterial count data file, which will be described later, has been tampered with.

[0033] The facility skill information receiving unit 29 receives facility information and skill information. The facility skill information receiving unit 29 may be a functional element that receives facility equipment information, or may be a functional element that receives skill information of facility inspectors. The facility information indicates, for example, information about the facility's inspection equipment and may include the hygiene or completeness of the inspection equipment. The facility information may be an indicator of whether the facility has the ability to produce accurate inspection results. The facility information may be ISO 17025 certification information. ISO 17025 is a management system for certifying the accuracy of testing laboratories or calibration organizations. Obtaining ISO 17025 certification information ensures compliance with the QMS (quality management system) and also ensures compliance with the technical capabilities of the testing facility or calibration facility.

[0034] The proficiency information may be the level of external quality control. "External quality control" refers to a proficiency test or the like that indicates testing skills. Examples of "external quality control" include an inter-laboratory comparison (proficiency test) program for food analysis, an inter-laboratory comparison (proficiency test) program for microbiological testing, an inter-laboratory comparison (proficiency test) program for qualitative and quantitative analysis of genetically modified foods, or an inter-laboratory comparison (proficiency test) program for fat and oil analysis. The facility proficiency information receiving unit 29 receives, for example, the level of the proficiency test (test result, e.g., Z score) from the facility, and the received level is used to determine whether the facility passes or fails.

[0035] The facility skill information determination unit 30 is a functional element that determines the facility information and skill information received by the facility skill information receiving unit 29. The determination results by the facility skill information determination unit 30 are stored in the memory unit 21. The facility skill information determination unit 30 determines whether the facility information and skill information pass or fail for each facility. The facility skill information determination unit 30 determines, for example, whether the facility information and the skill information pass or fail. As an example, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines that a facility that has obtained ISO17025 certification information and whose external quality control level is above a certain value passes, and determines other facilities as failing.

[0036] The facility skill information update unit 31 is a functional element that periodically updates the facility information and skill information of a facility stored in the memory unit 21. After a certain period of time has passed since the facility information and skill information were last stored in the memory unit 21, the facility skill information update unit 31 requests the facility to update its facility information and skill information.

[0037] The authorization unit 32 is a functional element that grants a facility the authority to share sanitation management information with other facilities different from the facility in question. The authorization unit 32 grants a facility that has been determined to be acceptable by the facility skill information determination unit 30 the authority to view the sanitation management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the sanitation management information of the other facilities. The "authority to view the sanitation management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the sanitation management information of the other facilities" refers to, for example, the authority to allow other facilities to view the sanitation management information of the facility in exchange for allowing other facilities to view the sanitation management information of the facility in question. In this manner, the authorization unit 32 allows the sanitation management information of other facilities to be viewed and / or to be viewed by other facilities. For example, the authorization unit 32 allows a facility to view the sanitation management information of other facilities in exchange for allowing other facilities to view the sanitation management information of the facility in question. Such authorization is preferable in terms of mutual benefit between the facilities. The following description and drawings will explain an example of granting mutual viewing authority. Hereinafter, this "mutual viewing authority" may be simply referred to as "authority." Note that although the authority granting unit 32 allows the sanitation management information of other facilities to be viewed, it does not, for example, allow the user to view which facility the sanitation management information belongs to. In other words, the authority granting unit 32 does not clearly indicate the source of the sanitation management information.

[0038] The keyword receiving unit 33 is a functional element that receives search keywords for searching for sanitation management information of other facilities. The keyword receiving unit 33 receives search keywords for searching for sanitation management information from the facility (e.g., the terminal 10). The search keywords received by the keyword receiving unit 33 may include, for example, character strings related to at least one of the inspection criteria for the inspection target substance, the inspection target, the inspection content, and the inspection method.

[0039] The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 is a functional element that extracts hygiene management information stored in the storage unit 21 using the search keyword received by the keyword receiving unit 33. The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 extracts hygiene management information that matches the search keyword from the storage unit 21. The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 extracts, for example, multiple pieces of hygiene management information linked to the search keyword from the storage unit 21.

[0040] The hygiene management information transmission unit 35 is a functional element that transmits the hygiene management information extracted by the hygiene management information extraction unit 34. That is, the hygiene management information transmission unit 35 transmits the hygiene management information extracted by the hygiene management information extraction unit 34 to a facility (for example, the terminal 10). The hygiene management information transmission unit 35 may transmit the hygiene management information to one facility, or may transmit the hygiene management information to multiple facilities.

[0041] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the sanitation management system 1 (e.g., the terminal 10 and the server 20). As an example, each of the functional elements of the server 20 described above is realized by this hardware configuration. For example, the server 20 includes a processor 41, a main memory 42, an auxiliary memory 43, a communication module 44, a display 45, and an input interface 46. The processor 41 is a computing device that executes an operating system and application programs. The main memory 42 is composed of, for example, ROM or RAM, and temporarily stores loaded programs or calculation results, etc. The auxiliary memory 43 is composed of, for example, flash memory or a hard disk, and permanently stores programs or data.

[0042] The communication module 44 is composed of a wireless communication module or network card and transmits and receives data to and from other computers. The display 45 is composed of a touch panel or monitor and is a device that displays data or information so that the user can see it. The input interface 46 is composed of a touch panel, mouse, etc. and is a device that accepts data or instructions input by the user.

[0043] For example, each of the aforementioned functional elements of the server 20 is realized by loading predetermined software (for example, the aforementioned hygiene management program) into the processor 41 or the main memory 42 and executing the software. The processor 41 operates the communication module 44, the display 45, or the input interface 46 in accordance with the software, and reads and writes data from and to the main memory 42 or the auxiliary memory 43. The data compiled into a database is stored in the main memory 42 or the auxiliary memory 43.

[0044] As described above, the server 20 may be configured by one computer or by multiple computers. For example, when the server 20 is configured by multiple computers, the multiple computers are connected to each other via a communication network such as the Internet or an intranet, thereby logically constructing one server 20.

[0045] 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of data stored in the storage unit 21. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 21 stores member data D1, master data D2, lot data D3, and measurement data D4. In this embodiment, a "member" refers to a type of "facility." The member data D1 includes, for example, the latest registration date of member information D11, company name D12, facility name D13, number of inspectors D14, number of specimens per test D15, facility information D16, skill information D17, and whether or not others can view the data D18.

[0046] Facility information D16 includes, for example, data on whether ISO 17025 certification has been obtained, and examples include whether certification has been obtained D161, the scope of certification D162, and the date of certification D163. Skills information D17 includes, for example, the company that performed the external quality control D171, the date of implementation D172, the inspector pass rate D173, and Z scores D174 and D175 for each inspector. The inspector pass rate D173 indicates the ratio of the number of inspectors who passed the external quality control test to the total number of inspectors at the facility. The ability to view data from others D18 indicates whether the facility is a member who can view data from others or a member who cannot view data from others. A "member who can view data from others" indicates a facility that can view sanitation management information from other facilities, while a "member who cannot view data from others" indicates a facility that cannot view sanitation management information from other facilities.

[0047] The lot data D3 includes, for example, the specimen inspection date D31, the current day ID D32, the production date D33, the lot D34, and a remark D35. The measurement data D4 includes the number of bacteria D41 (the number of specimens), the image D42 (image data), the image generation date and time D43, and the judgment D44 (the judgment of the pass / fail result for the specimen).

[0048] 4 is a diagram showing details of the master data D2. As shown in Fig. 4, the master data D2 includes a name master D21, a specimen master D22, a bacterial culture medium master D23, a test standard set master D24, and a test data master D25.

[0049] The name master D21 includes, for example, culture medium D211 (for example, the type of culture medium), bacterial species D212 (for example, the type of substance to be tested, such as "general live bacteria"), production plant location D213, line D214, specimen-major category D215, specimen-minor category D216, bacterial species D217, and testing time D218.

[0050] The specimen master D22 includes a specimen name D221 (for example, a food name such as "frozen fried chicken"), a specimen ID D222, a specimen-major category D223, a specimen-minor category D224, included raw materials D225, and whether or not the specimen is heated D226.

[0051] The bacterial species culture medium master D23 includes a bacterial species D231, a culture medium D232, and an appropriate measurement range D233. The "appropriate measurement range" is, for example, a range of values ​​for determining whether or not to accept the number of bacteria detected by a plate described below.

[0052] For example, a "test specification set" indicates test details such as a "routine test." The test specification set master D24 includes a test specification set name D241, a test method D242, a specimen collection amount D243, a type of dilution water D244, a dilution ratio D245, an N number D246 (e.g., the number of plates described later), a threshold value D247, shipping approval items D248, and remarks D249.

[0053] Figure 5 shows a specific example of data items in the test data master D25. The test data master D25 includes information on the specimen master D22, bacterial species culture medium master D23, and test specification set master D24. As shown in Figure 5, the test data master D25 includes, for example, specimen name D221, specimen ID D222, specimen-major category D223, specimen-subcategory D224, included raw materials D225, whether or not heating was performed D226, test specification set name D241, test method D242, bacterial species D231, culture medium D232, appropriate measurement range D233, specimen collection volume D243, type of dilution water D244, dilution ratio D245, N number D246, threshold D247, and shipping approval item D248.

[0054] 6 shows an exemplary flow diagram for calculating and determining the number of bacteria in a sample, which is executed by the hygiene management system 1, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to an embodiment. The hygiene management system 1, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to this embodiment can, for example, eliminate the need for handwritten work in steps S11 to S21, which will be described later, thereby enabling more efficient testing of samples. As an example, each of the following steps is executed by the server 20 of the hygiene management system 1.

[0055] First, it is determined whether the facility is an eligible facility for initial registration (step S11). In step S11, if the facility is an eligible facility for initial registration (if the facility is being registered for the first time), the process proceeds to step S12, and if it is determined that the facility is not an eligible facility for initial registration, the process proceeds to step S13.

[0056] In step S12, the member registration flow shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 is executed. In the member registration flow, first, a membership qualification determination is made (step S26). As shown in Fig. 8, in the membership qualification determination, for example, a registration URL is notified from the server 20 to the terminal 10 (customer edge) (step S31).

[0057] When the registration URL is tapped on the terminal 10, a basic information registration screen E1 exemplified in Fig. 9 is displayed on the terminal 10. When, for example, the company name, facility name, number of inspectors, and number of specimens (per test) are entered on the basic information registration screen E1 and the registration button is pressed, the basic information is registered (step S32).

[0058] Next, a registration screen E2 for facility information and skill information, as shown in Fig. 10, is displayed on the terminal 10. The registration screen E2 includes a facility information input section E21 and a skill information input section E22. The facility information input section E21 includes, for example, items such as whether or not ISO 17025 has been acquired E21b, the scope of acquisition E21c, and the acquisition date E21d. The skill information input section E22 includes, for example, items such as the company that performed the external quality control E22b, the date of implementation E22c, the pass rate of the inspector E22d, and Z scores E22f, E22g for each inspector.

[0059] On the registration screen E2, when data is entered into each item of the facility information input section E21 and each item of the skill information input section E22 and the registration button is pressed, the facility information and skill information are transmitted to the server 20 (a step of transmitting facility information and skill information). The transmitted facility information and skill information are received by the facility skill information receiving section 29 (a step of receiving from the facility, a step of receiving from the facility), and the facility information and skill information are registered (step S33).

[0060] Next, as shown in Figure 8, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines, for example, whether ISO17025 certification has been obtained (step S34), whether the inspector's pass rate in external quality control testing is above a specified level (step S35), and whether the Z score of each inspector in external quality control testing is above a specified level (step S36).

[0061] Then, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines whether the facility that has completed various registrations on the terminal 10 is a member who is permitted to view or a member who is not permitted to view (process of determining whether the facility is permitted to view, step of determining whether the facility is permitted to view, step S37). That is, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines whether the facility is worthy of being a member who is permitted to view. For example, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines that the facility is a member who is permitted to view if it determines in step S34 that the facility has acquired ISO 17025 certification, the pass rate is equal to or greater than a specified level, and the Z score is equal to or greater than a specified level in step S36.

[0062] For example, the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines that the facility is a non-browsable member if it determines in step S34 that the facility has not acquired ISO 17025 certification, if it determines in step S35 that the pass rate is not above a specified level, or if it determines in step S36 that the Z score is not above a specified level. After making these determinations, the facility skill information determination unit 30 notifies the terminal 10 of the pass / fail determination result (step of sending pass / fail to the facility, step of sending pass / fail to the facility, step S38). The facility receives the pass / fail determination result from the terminal 10 (step of receiving the determination result). Then, the authorization granting unit 32 grants authorization to the facility determined to be a browse-enabled member (step of making the facility browseable, step of making the facility browseable), and the series of steps for determining membership eligibility are completed.

[0063] 7, if the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines that the member is qualified as a result of the membership qualification determination, the process proceeds to step S27. On the other hand, if the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines that the member is not qualified as a result of the membership qualification determination, the process proceeds to step S28.

[0064] In step S27, the facility that has received the determination result from the facility skill information determination unit 30 determines whether or not to approve the provision of its own data (the facility) to the sanitation management system 1. At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 11, a data provision approval screen E3 is displayed on the terminal 10. The data provision approval screen E3 corresponds to a screen that requests approval to provide the facility with its own data (sanitation management information). As an example, pressing the "Yes" button on the data provision approval screen E3 means that the provision of the facility's data has been approved, and pressing the "No" button on the data provision approval screen E3 means that the provision of the facility's data has been rejected.

[0065] If the facility refuses to provide its own data (NO in step S27), the facility is registered as a member who cannot view other people's data (step S28). On the other hand, if the facility approves the provision of its own data (YES in step S27), the facility is registered as a member who can view other people's data (step S29). After the above steps S28 or S29, the member registration flow ends.

[0066] 6, after the member registration flow is completed, master data D2 is registered (step S14). At this time, for example, the information entered on the basic information registration screen E1 is registered in the member information latest registration date D11, company name D12, facility name D13, number of inspectors D14, and number of specimens D15 in the member data D1. Then, the information entered on the registration screen E2 is registered in the respective fields of facility information D16 and skill information D17 in the member data D1. Note that the master data D2 may be registered together with the member registration flow (step S12) rather than after it.

[0067] 6, if it is determined that the facility is not an initially registered facility (NO in step S11), the process proceeds to step S13, where it is determined whether the facility is a member who is allowed to view other people's data. If it is determined that the facility is a member who is allowed to view other people's data, the process proceeds to an information update flow (step S15). On the other hand, if it is determined that the facility is not a member who is allowed to view other people's data, the process proceeds to step S16.

[0068] In step S15, for example, an information update flow shown in Fig. 12 is executed. In the information update flow, it is determined whether the facility information and skill information have been updated within a certain period (for example, six months or one year) (step S41). At this time, if it is determined that the facility information and skill information have been updated within the certain period (YES in step S41), the information update flow is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the facility information and skill information have not been updated within the certain period (NO in step S41), a reminder to update the facility information and skill information is notified to the facility (for example, terminal 10) (step S42).

[0069] After a predetermined period of time (for example, one or two months) has passed since step S42, it is determined whether the facility information and skill information have been updated (step S43). At this time, if the facility information and skill information have been updated (YES in step S43), the facility is maintained as a member who is permitted to view other people's data (step S44). On the other hand, if the facility information and skill information have not been updated (NO in step S43), the facility is re-registered as a member who is not permitted to view other people's data (step S45). The information update flow ends after the process of step S44 or step S45.

[0070] After the information update flow is completed, the test data master D25 is read (step S51), as shown in FIG. 13, for example. When reading the test data master D25, for example, the test items of the specimen are extracted. FIG. 13 is a flow diagram showing each step of the flow diagram of FIG. 6 in more detail. After reading the test data master D25, the lot data D3 is created (steps S16 and S52). At this time, each item of the lot data D3 is input from, for example, the terminal 10, and each item of the lot data D3 (specimen test date D31, current day ID D32, production date D33, lot D34, and remarks D35) is registered.

[0071] After the lot data D3 is created, the identification code output unit 23 outputs the identification code C (steps S17 and S53), as shown in FIG. 14, for example. The identification code C is displayed, for example, as an identification code display screen E4. The identification code display screen E4 includes, for example, an identification code C associated with a plate (described later), and the identification code C includes identification information for identifying the plate. In this embodiment, the identification code C is a barcode. However, the identification code C is not limited to a barcode, and may be another type of identification code, such as a QR code (registered trademark).

[0072] FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of the identification code C. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the identification code C includes, for example, plate identification information such as the culture medium C1, dilution ratio C2, N count C3 (number of plates), individual IDC4, test date C5, threshold C6, and appropriate measurement range C7. In this embodiment, the "threshold" refers to a reference value used to determine whether the number of bacteria in an acquired sample passes or fails; for example, a bacterial count equal to or greater than the threshold is determined to be a failure, and a bacterial count less than the threshold is determined to be a pass. The "appropriate measurement range" refers to, for example, a range of values ​​used to determine whether the number of bacteria detected by a plate is acceptable.

[0073] The identification code C does not necessarily have to include all of the culture medium C1, dilution ratio C2, N number C3, individual IDC4, test date C5, threshold value C6, and appropriate measurement range C7, and may further include other information. Furthermore, the content included in the identification code C, as well as the way in which the identification code C is expressed, can be changed as appropriate. For example, letters such as alphabets may be written instead of the numbers written in the identification code C, or the numbers in the identification code C may be changed to letters or the like to reduce the number of digits in the identification code C.

[0074] 14 may be printed out as a sticker on a predetermined print medium. In this case, when the print medium is set in a printing machine such as a printer and the identification code display screen E4 is printed out, the print medium is printed with the identification code C printed on the sticker. The identification code C is peeled off from the printed print medium and affixed to the plate, which is then ready for incubation of the sample (step S54).

[0075] FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing an exemplary plate F to which an identification code C is attached. In this embodiment, the plate F is used to calculate the number of bacteria in a specimen. Conventionally, testing has been performed using an agar medium. However, when testing is performed using plate F as in this embodiment rather than an agar medium, the testing time can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, because plate F is in the form of a film, the space required for cultivation can be significantly reduced, bacteria (also called colonies) can be easily observed, and disposal after cultivation can be easily carried out.

[0076] In this embodiment, a "plate" refers to a sheet-like member containing a culture medium for the specimen bacteria, and is a tool capable of testing the number of bacteria in the specimen by placing, for example, a specimen diluted in the culture medium on the plate. For example, plate F includes a lower film F1 on which the specimen is placed and an upper film F2 that covers the lower film F1. For example, the lower film F1 includes a foam dam, culture medium components, an adhesive, and a plastic-coated paper, while the upper film F2 includes a cold-water-soluble gel, an adhesive containing an indicator, and a plastic film. For example, the specimen (test liquid) is placed in the center of the lower film F1, and the upper film F2 covers the specimen and the lower film F1. A spreader (not shown) is then placed on the upper film F2 to spread the specimen, and the specimen gels after a certain time (e.g., one minute).

[0077] After culturing for a predetermined period of time, the bacteria in the specimen develop a dot-like color, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. After attaching an identification code C to the plate F on which the bacteria have developed a color in this way, the plate F with the attached identification code C is inserted into a reader R. The reader R is a device that reads the number of bacteria by counting the number of bacteria that develop a color on the plate F. Conventionally, the number of bacteria on the plate F has been counted manually, which is inefficient. However, the reader R makes it possible to count the number of bacteria in a short time (for example, about 4 seconds) by inserting the plate F. As an example, the reader R automatically counts the number of bacteria on the plate F and outputs the counted number of bacteria in file format.

[0078] 18, 19 and 20, when plate F is inserted into reader R, for example, reader R reads plate F, and software installed on terminal 10 that is capable of communicating with reader R measures the number of bacteria (steps S18, S55). Then, a bacteria count data screen E5 is output to terminal 10, the number of bacteria is calculated, and a bacteria count data file E6 including the calculated number of bacteria is output (steps S19, S56).

[0079] The bacteria count data screen E5 includes, for example, a plate screen E51, a sample ID E52, a culture medium E53, a dilution ratio E54, a colony count E55 (bacteria count), and a calculated colony count E56. For example, the bacteria count data file E6 is automatically output if output of the bacteria count data file E6 is selected in the pre-settings. The bacteria count data file E6 includes an inspector E61, a sample ID E62, an image generation date and time E63, a culture medium E64, a dilution ratio E65, an identification code text E66, a colony count E67, and a calculated colony count E68.

[0080] The plate screen E51 displays, for example, plate F along with a mark E58 that highlights the position of the colony. In the example of FIG. 19, a rectangular mark E58 is displayed surrounding a circularly displayed colony. For example, the samples IDE52, E62 and the identification code text E66 may both include identification information that identifies plate F, and the identification code text E66 may indicate text data of the identification code C affixed to plate F. The colony numbers E55, E67 indicate the number of colonies displayed on the plate screen E51, and the calculated colony numbers E56, E68 are numerical values ​​indicating the product of the number of colonies displayed on the plate screen E51 and the dilution factor.

[0081] In this embodiment, as an example, the bacteria count data file E6 is uploaded to the master data D2. That is, the bacteria count data file E6 is stored on the cloud (storage unit 21) (step S57). Thereafter, for example, the tampering determination unit 28 may determine whether the bacteria count data file E6 has been tampered with. Note that the tampering determination unit 28 may be omitted. As an example, the tampering determination unit 28 determines whether the identification code C on the cloud and the read identification code C are the same (step S58).

[0082] For example, if the tampering determination unit 28 determines that the identification code C on the cloud is the same as the read identification code C, it calculates the number of bacteria (steps S19 and S59). On the other hand, if the tampering determination unit 28 determines that the identification code C on the cloud is not the same as the read identification code C, it outputs an alert (step S60). In step S60, for example, an alert may be output to the effect that the bacteria count data file E6 has been tampered with. After the alert is output, the series of steps may end.

[0083] When calculating the bacterial count, for example, a test result confirmation screen E7 shown in FIG. 21 is displayed. The test result confirmation screen E7 is displayed, for example, on the terminal 10. The test result confirmation screen E7 includes, for example, a test result display section E71, a test date input section E72, a specimen-major category selection section E73, a production date input section E74, a production factory selection section E75, a determination result selection section E76, and a search button E77. In the determination result selection section E76, for example, any of "undetermined," "passed," "failed," and "undetermined." As an example, by default, all of "undetermined," "passed," "failed," and "undetermined" are selected in the determination result selection section E76.

[0084] For example, when the search button E77 is pressed with the test date input section E72 and the determination result selection section E76 filled in, the test results for the test date entered in the test date input section E72 are displayed in the test result display section E71. Note that when a condition is selected in any of the specimen-major category selection section E73, production date input section E74, production factory selection section E75, and determination result selection section E76, for example, only the test results that satisfy the selected condition are displayed in the test result display section E71.

[0085] The test result display unit E71 displays, for example, the test date, the day ID, the specimen name, a selection button, bacterial culture medium information, the number of bacteria, the threshold value, and the judgment result. The test date in the test result display unit E71 matches the test date input in the test date input unit E72. The day ID in the test result display unit E71 is, for example, an ID that matches the individual ID DC4 of the identification code C and indicates the ID assigned on the day of the test. When the selection button in the test result display unit E71 is pressed, for example, a detailed screen of the test results is displayed. The bacterial culture medium information in the test result display unit E71 includes, for example, the bacterial species D231 and the culture medium D232 stored in the aforementioned bacterial culture medium master D23.

[0086] The judgment displayed in the test result display unit E71 is, for example, whether the value of the bacterial count calculated in accordance with a predetermined rule from the colony count E68 in the bacterial count data file E6, which is the bacterial count obtained at each dilution stage, is pass or fail. The judgment of whether the bacterial count in the test result display unit E71 is pass or fail is made, for example, by the pass / fail judgment unit 25 described above (steps S20 and S61). For example, the pass / fail judgment unit 25 judges the result to be fail if the bacterial count is equal to or greater than the threshold C6, and judges the result to be pass if the bacterial count is less than the threshold C6.

[0087] After the bacterial count has been determined as described above, an inspection report is created (steps S21 and S62). For example, the report is created by inputting data into an automatically displayed inspection report format. At this time, data analysis and accumulation may also be performed, and for example, each item of the measurement data D4 obtained as a result of the inspection is updated. As a specific example, the bacterial count is stored in bacterial count D41, the plate screen E51 is stored in image D42 of the measurement data D4, the creation date and time of the plate screen E51 is stored in image creation date and time D43, and the above bacterial count determination result is stored in determination D44.

[0088] The above inspections and updates of each item of the measurement data D4 are performed, for example, at each of the multiple facilities. Next, an example of each step (viewing step) of the flow in which a facility that is a member authorized to view other people's data views the sanitation management information of other facilities will be described with reference to the flow diagram in Figure 22. The data search flow in Figure 22 is performed, for example, by the terminal 10 described above.

[0089] For example, when the software installed on the terminal 10 is started, a search keyword input screen E8, as shown in Fig. 23, is displayed. First, a search keyword is input into the input screen E8 (step S71). Specific examples of the input include inputting at least one of the specimen name E81, specimen-major category E82, specimen-minor category E83, included raw materials E84, whether or not heated E85, bacterial species E86, and culture medium E87 on the input screen E8.

[0090] Then, check the content you want to search for from the check box group E88 for the content you want to search for. The check box group E88 has check boxes for, for example, the test content (bacterial species, culture medium, etc.), images, and the number of bacteria, and check the check boxes for the content you want to search for. Then, press the search start button E89 to complete the entry of the search keywords.

[0091] When a search keyword is input, the keyword receiving unit 33 receives the input keyword. Then, the hygiene management information extracting unit 34 extracts hygiene management information linked to the input keyword (e.g., at least one of the specimen name E81, specimen-major category E82, specimen-subcategory E83, included raw materials E84, whether heated or not E85, bacterial species E86, and culture medium E87) from the master data D2 or the measurement data D4 (step S72).

[0092] The hygiene management information extracted by the hygiene management information extraction unit 34 is then transmitted to the terminal 10 by the hygiene management information transmission unit 35, and the search results for the hygiene management information are displayed, for example, on the terminal 10 (step S73). Fig. 24 shows an examination content screen E9, which is an example of the hygiene management information of another facility that is displayed. The examination content screen E9 is a screen that is displayed when the examination content (bacterial species, culture medium, etc.) is checked in the check box group E88 on the input screen E8.

[0093] The test details screen E9 includes, for example, search criteria E91 and search results E92. The search criteria E91 displays at least one of the specimen-major category E82, specimen-minor category E83, included raw materials E84, and whether or not heating is performed E85, which were input on the input screen E8. For example, the search results E92 display, for each bacterial species, the test method, specimen collection volume, type of dilution water, culture medium, dilution ratio, N number, and threshold value, which are linked to the items input on the input screen E8. The data displayed in the search results E92 corresponds to each piece of information in the test specification set master D24 linked to the bacterial species D231 in the bacterial species culture medium master D23.

[0094] FIG. 25 shows post-culture image data E10, which is another example of displayed sanitation management information for another facility. Image data E10 includes, for example, post-culture images E101, E102, and E103, and search conditions E104, E105, and E106. Search conditions E104, E105, and E106 display at least one of the following input items on input screen E8: specimen name E81, specimen-major category E82, specimen-subcategory E83, included raw materials E84, whether heated E85, bacterial species E86, and culture medium E87. Images E101, E102, and E103 are associated with the item (e.g., bacterial species) input on input screen E8. Images E101, E102, and E103 correspond to, for example, image D42 of measurement data D4. As image data E10, image generation date and time D43 may be displayed together with images E101, E102, and E103.

[0095] 26 shows a final bacteria count screen E11, which is yet another example of displayed hygiene management information for another facility. For example, the final bacteria count screen E11 includes search criteria E120, bacteria count E121, and determination E122. The search criteria E120 displays at least one of the following input criteria: specimen name E81, specimen-major category E82, specimen-minor category E83, included raw materials E84, whether heated E85, bacterial species E86, and culture medium E87. The bacteria count E121 and determination E122 display the bacteria count and determination result associated with the items input on the input screen E8. For example, the bacteria count E121 corresponds to the bacteria count D41 in the measurement data D4, and the determination E122 corresponds to the determination D44 in the measurement data D4.

[0096] As described above, a facility that is a member that can view other people's data can view the test details, image data, and the relationship between bacterial count and judgment (pass criteria) of other facilities by displaying at least one of the test details screen E9, image data E10, and final bacterial count screen E11. In this way, a facility that is a member that can view other people's data can display the hygiene management information of other facilities, but does not display information indicating, for example, the source of the hygiene management information. In other words, the test details, image data, and pass criteria of other facilities are displayed, but the facility from which these came is not displayed. By not displaying the source information in this way, the privacy of the facility is ensured.

[0097] Next, the effects of the sanitation management system 1, sanitation management method, and sanitation management program according to the present embodiment will be described. In the sanitation management system 1, sanitation management method, and sanitation management program according to the present embodiment, the facility skill information receiving unit 29 receives facility information and skill information for a facility, and the facility skill information determining unit 30 determines whether the facility information and skill information pass or fail. In the sanitation management system 1, sanitation management method, and sanitation management program according to the present embodiment, the authorization granting unit 32 grants a facility that passes the facility information and skill information pass / fail determination to the facility that is determined to pass the facility information and skill information the authority to view the sanitation management information of other facilities and / or to allow other facilities to view the facility information. Therefore, by granting the authority to a facility that passes the facility information and skill information and is determined to pass, facilities that meet certain conditions can be allowed to share information with other facilities. This allows data sharing while ensuring the reliability of the database, thereby improving the usefulness of the sanitation management system.

[0098] The facility information may include ISO 17025 certification information. In this case, the facility can be judged based on the ISO 17025 certification. Therefore, a facility that performs product inspection, analysis, or measurement with high accuracy can be judged as passing.

[0099] The skill information may include the level of external quality control. In this case, the pass / fail of the facility is determined using the level of external quality control aimed at ensuring the reliability of the testing at the facility. This allows the pass / fail of the facility to be determined with higher accuracy, contributing to higher quality information in the database.

[0100] The exemplary sanitation management system 1 may include a facility skill information update unit 31 that requests the facility to update the facility information and skill information a certain period of time after the authorization is granted by the authorization granting unit 32. In this case, the facility skill information update unit 31 periodically requests the facility to update the facility information and skill information. This allows the data in the database to be maintained at a high quality.

[0101] The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 may extract information on the number of test target substances obtained by the test (for example, the final bacterial count screen E11 including the bacterial count). In this case, the extracted number of test target substances can be viewed by the facility, and information on the number of test target substances that other facilities use as standards can be obtained. Therefore, based on the obtained number information, the validity of the test results can be confirmed, standards can be set, and so on.

[0102] The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 may extract image data E10 of the test target substance obtained by the test. In this case, the image data E10 of the test target substance can be viewed at the facility, and information on the image data E10 of the test target substance at other facilities can be obtained. Therefore, information on the test target substance at other facilities can be visually grasped as image data E10.

[0103] The hygiene management information extraction unit 34 may extract the test details of the test target substance (for example, the information shown on the test details screen E9). In this case, the test details of other facilities can be viewed, so information related to the test of the test target substance can be further shared.

[0104] The above describes embodiments of the hygiene management system, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to the present disclosure. However, the hygiene management system, hygiene management method, and hygiene management program according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified or applied to other things without departing from the spirit of the claims. In other words, the configuration and function of each part of the hygiene management system, and the content and order of each step of the hygiene management method, may be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0105] For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the facility information is ISO 17025 certification information and the skill information is the level of external quality control. However, the facility information may be information other than ISO 17025 certification information, and the skill information may be information other than the level of external quality control.

[0106] The content and order of each step of the hygiene management program can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the processing procedures of the hygiene management method and hygiene management program executed by at least one processor are not limited to the examples in the above embodiments. For example, some of the steps (processing) described above may be omitted, or the steps may be executed in a different order. Furthermore, any two or more of the steps described above may be combined, or some of the steps may be modified or deleted. Furthermore, other steps may be executed in addition to the above steps.

[0107] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the sanitation management system 1 includes the server 20, and the server 20 includes the memory unit 21, the display control unit 22, the identification code output unit 23, the input unit 24, the pass / fail determination unit 25, the approval request unit 26, the inspection content output unit 27, the tampering determination unit 28, the facility skill information receiving unit 29, the facility skill information determination unit 30, the facility skill information update unit 31, the authorization unit 32, the keyword receiving unit 33, the sanitation management information extraction unit 34, and the sanitation management information transmission unit 35. However, it is also possible to omit any of the memory unit 21, the display control unit 22, the identification code output unit 23, the input unit 24, the pass / fail determination unit 25, the approval request unit 26, the inspection content output unit 27, the tampering determination unit 28, the facility skill information receiving unit 29, the facility skill information determination unit 30, the facility skill information update unit 31, the authorization unit 32, the keyword receiving unit 33, the sanitation management information extraction unit 34, and the sanitation management information transmission unit 35.

[0108] In the above-described embodiment, the plate F for detecting the number of bacteria, the threshold C6 indicating the number of bacteria that serves as a criterion for determining whether the number of bacteria is pass or fail, the input unit 24 into which the number of bacteria is input, and the pass / fail determination unit 25 for determining whether the number of bacteria is pass or fail have been exemplified.
