Description

Information processing device, medical system, and information processing method

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, a medical system, and an information processing method.

[0002] Conventionally, liquid medicine administration pumps such as infusion pumps and syringe pumps have been used in hospitals, etc. Liquid medicine is usually administered to a patient using a liquid medicine administration pump by two medical professionals (typically nurses) as follows.

[0003] The first nurse operates the operation buttons of the liquid medicine administration pump while looking at the liquid medicine administration instruction information, such as the patient's medical record, to set various settings, such as the flow rate of the liquid medicine. After setting the designated values ​​for the setting items, such as the flow rate of the liquid medicine, the nurse looks at the medical record again and reads out loud each of the designated values, such as the flow rate, written on the record. After the first nurse reads out each designated value, the second nurse checks the display on the liquid medicine administration pump and speaks out the content of the monitor display for that setting. If the settings, such as the flow rate, on the liquid medicine administration pump are correct, the second nurse ends up repeating what the first nurse said.

[0004] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-87678 (Patent Document 1) discloses an infusion pump that includes a portable setting terminal equipped with an operation unit for setting designated values ​​for the planned volume and flow rate and a memory unit for storing command values ​​set by the operation unit, and a pump main body provided separately. A command value receiver (reader) is provided on the top surface of the pump main body for short-range wireless communication with the setting terminal. When the setting terminal is held over the command value receiver, the designated values ​​for the planned volume and flow rate stored in the memory unit of the setting terminal are read into the pump main body. The pump main body performs pumping according to the read designated values ​​for the planned volume and flow rate.

[0005] JP 2011-87678 A

[0006] In Patent Document 1, if a nurse misreads the medical record, incorrect settings will be made on the drug administration pump. Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, even if a nurse reads the medical record correctly, if they make an input error into the portable setting terminal, incorrect settings will be made on the drug administration pump. In either case, if the first nurse realizes their own setting error through confirmation with the second nurse, they can reset the settings. However, it is important to prevent human input errors from occurring when setting up a drug administration pump.

[0007] The present disclosure provides an information processing device, a medical system, and an information processing method that are capable of accurately setting designated values ​​described in medicinal liquid administration instruction information for setting items in a medicinal liquid administration pump.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the information processing device includes a scanner that generates first data based on the liquid medicine administration instruction information by reading the liquid medicine administration instruction information including specified values ​​of setting items of the liquid medicine administration pump, an extraction means that extracts the specified values ​​from the generated first data, and a transmission means that transmits the extracted specified values ​​to the liquid medicine administration pump.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a medical system includes the above-described information processing device and a liquid medicine administration pump.

[0010] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, an information processing method includes the steps of reading, with a sensor, liquid medicine administration instruction information including designated values ​​of setting items of a liquid medicine administration pump to generate data, extracting the designated values ​​from the generated data, and transmitting the extracted designated values ​​to the liquid medicine administration pump.

[0011] According to the above configuration, it is possible to accurately set the designated values ​​described in the liquid medicine administration instruction information for the setting items in the liquid medicine administration pump.

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. The names and functions of the components are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a medical system. As shown in FIG. 1, the medical system 1 includes a tablet terminal 10 as an example of an information processing device and an infusion pump 20 as an example of a liquid medicine administration pump. The information processing device is not limited to the tablet terminal 10, but may be any portable device such as a smartphone or a laptop (notebook) personal computer. The liquid medicine administration pump is not limited to an infusion pump, but may be another pump such as a syringe pump.

[0015] The tablet terminal 10 communicates with the infusion pump 20. The tablet terminal 10 communicates wirelessly with the infusion pump. The tablet terminal 10 communicates with the infusion pump 20 via near field communication (NFC). In this example, the tablet terminal 10 communicates with the infusion pump 20 using Felica (registered trademark), which is Type-F of NFC.

[0016] The tablet terminal 10 has a built-in reader / writer for Felica. The reader / writer has a control board and an antenna. The infusion pump 20 is equipped with Felica Link. The infusion pump 20 has a built-in contactless integrated circuit card for Felica (FeliCa Plug). The contactless integrated circuit card has an integrated circuit chip and an antenna.

[0017] In this example, by bringing the tablet terminal 10 operating as a reader / writer close to the infusion pump 20 operating as a tag, short-range wireless communication is performed between the tablet terminal 10 and the infusion pump 20. The reason why the tablet terminal 10, rather than the infusion pump 20, has a built-in reader / writer is that the tablet terminal 10 also performs short-range wireless communication with a plurality of other pumps (not shown) in the same way as the infusion pump 20.

[0018] The infusion pump 20 includes a plurality of operation buttons and a display. Each operation button is operated by a doctor or nurse. For example, the operation buttons can be used to input various settings such as the flow rate, planned volume, and cumulative volume of the medicinal solution. The operation buttons can also be used to instruct the infusion pump 20 to start and stop operation.

[0019] The tablet terminal 10 transmits data Q to the infusion pump 20 via the short-range wireless communication described above. The data Q is a block of data. The data Q is a frame (packet). The data Q may be data called a segment, a datagram, or a message. The infusion pump 20 receives the data Q.

[0020] As will be described in detail later, upon receiving the data Q, the infusion pump 20 sets various setting items based on the data Q. For example, the infusion pump 20 automatically sets the flow rate, planned volume, cumulative volume, etc. of the medicinal liquid. In this way, in the medical system 1, input of various setting items for the infusion pump 20 is automated.

[0021] 2 is a diagram showing details of data Q. A plurality of pieces of information are written in data Q. Data Q has a header section and a data section. The header section has seven pieces of information. The data section has 17 pieces of information.

[0022] Specifically, the following information is written into the header section in this order, starting from the corresponding first position: "model number," "device number," "command number," "request number," "data size," "data section checksum," and "header section checksum."

[0023] The data section contains the following information, written in this order from the corresponding first position: "Order ID," "Patient ID," "Drug Name," "Pharmacological Classification," "Administration Rate Unit," "Administration Rate," "Height (cm)," "Weight (kg)," "Body Surface Area," "Drug Amount," "Solution Amount (mL)," "Planned Amount (mL)," "Flow Rate (mL / h)," "Limiter Information: Soft Upper Limit," "Limiter Information: Soft Lower Limit," "Limiter Information: Hard Upper Limit," and "Limiter Information: Hard Lower Limit."

[0024] The numbers increase in the order of hard lower limit, soft lower limit, soft upper limit, and hard upper limit. The "hard lower limit (upper limit)" is a condition that must be strictly observed (a limiting condition), while the "soft lower limit (upper limit)" indicates a condition that is more lenient than the "hard lower limit (upper limit)."

[0025] As described above, 24 pieces of information can be stored in the data Q. Note that when transmitting from the tablet terminal 10 to the infusion pump 20, all 24 pieces of information do not need to be written in the data Q. Furthermore, the types of information stored in the data Q are not limited to those described above. For example, the data Q may include information on the planned administration time of the medicinal liquid.

[0026] 3 is a diagram showing a state in which a nurse is operating the tablet terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the nurse uses the tablet terminal 10 to scan an electronic medical record (an example of medicinal solution administration instruction information) displayed on the display 31 of the computer 30 that constitutes the medical system 1. The nurse scans the electronic medical record using the scanner of the tablet terminal 10. In this example, the scanner has an optical character recognition (OCR) function.

[0027] The tablet terminal 10 generates image data by capturing an image using a scanner sensor (camera). The tablet terminal 10 recognizes text in the image data using the scanner's data processing unit (OCR processing unit). As a result, the tablet terminal 10 converts the text in the image data into character data.

[0028] Figure 4 shows an example of an electronic medical record displayed on the display 31 of the computer 30. The nurse uses the tablet terminal 10 to scan the area R in the electronic medical record. Note that the content of the electronic medical record shown in Figure 4 is an example and is not limited to this. The terminal on which the electronic medical record is displayed is not limited to a desktop computer such as that shown in Figure 4, but may also be a mobile terminal.

[0029] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating data processing executed by tablet terminal 10. As shown in Fig. 5, tablet terminal 10 acquires text data P by scanning area R shown in Fig. 4. Note that the data content of data P shown in Fig. 5 is an example and is not limited to this.

[0030] The tablet device 10 extracts pre-specified specific characters and information such as numerical values ​​associated with the specific characters from the data P. For example, the sixth line from the bottom of the data P contains the character string "Medicine: Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single 265.0 mL," so "Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single" and "265.0 mL" are associated with "Medicine."

[0031] Specifically, the tablet terminal 10 learns the form of the electronic medical record in advance. The tablet terminal 10 learns what information is written in which area of ​​the electronic medical record. The tablet terminal 10 recognizes in advance the order in which information is written in the electronic medical record, including area R. Specifically, the tablet terminal 10 stores template data showing the template of the electronic medical record shown in FIG. 4.

[0032] The tablet terminal 10 generates the data M1 by performing the extraction process described above with reference to the template data. Specifically, the tablet terminal 10 generates the data M1 by comparing the item characters, item icons, item arrangement (order), units, etc. in the data P with the template data.

[0033] The tablet terminal 10 generates data M2 based on data M1. The tablet terminal 10 executes a predetermined program to convert data M1 into the format of data M2. Data M2 has items for "setting items, etc." and "specified values, etc." Note that the "contents" item of data Q shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the "setting items, etc." and "specified values, etc." items of data M2.

[0034] In data M1, "drug" corresponds to "Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single." "Drug" corresponds to "265.0 mL." "Rate" corresponds to "10 ml / h."

[0035] Therefore, the tablet terminal 10 associates "Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single" with the 20th "Drug Name" in data M2. The tablet terminal 10 associates "265.0 mL" with the 19th "Planned Amount" in data M2. The tablet terminal 10 associates "10 ml / h" with the 13th "Flow Rate" in data M2. Note that numbers 20, 19, and 13 correspond to the numbers of the contents shown in data Q in Figure 2.

[0036] In data M1, two pieces of information are associated with the specific character "medicine." In this case, the tablet terminal 10 determines which information to associate with which item in data M2. For example, based on the numerical value, unit, length of the character string, character matching, positional information in data P, etc., the tablet terminal 10 associates "Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single" with "Medicine Name" and "265.0 mL" with "Planned Amount," as described above.

[0037] In data M1, the specific character "speed" is associated with "10 ml / h." The tablet device 10 converts "speed" to "flow rate" and associates "10 ml / h" with the 13th "flow rate" in data M2.

[0038] Based on data M2, tablet terminal 10 generates data Q. Specifically, the processor of tablet terminal 10 writes the extracted specified values ​​into a communication format having the same frame structure as data Q, thereby generating data Q.

[0039] When the nurse performs a transmission operation on the tablet terminal 10 while holding the tablet terminal 10 close to the infusion pump 20 , the tablet terminal 10 transmits data Q to the infusion pump 20 .

[0040] Upon receiving the data Q, the infusion pump 20 sets various setting items based on the data Q, as described above. For example, the infusion pump 20 automatically sets the "planned volume" to "265.0 mL." The infusion pump automatically sets the "flow rate" to "10 ml / h." In this example, the "planned volume" and the "flow rate" are examples of setting items, and "265.0 mL" and "10 ml / h" are examples of specified values.

[0041] For ease of explanation, hereinafter, regardless of the contents of the medicinal liquid administration instruction information (in this example, the electronic medical record), data (text data) generated from the medicinal liquid administration instruction information will be referred to as data P. Furthermore, regardless of the contents of the medicinal liquid administration instruction information, data having the above-described frame structure (see FIG. 2 ) generated from data P will be referred to as data Q.

[0042] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the user interface (screen) of the tablet terminal 10. Referring to Fig. 6, the tablet terminal 10 includes a touch screen 130 having a display and a touch panel. The tablet terminal 10 stores application programs.

[0043] The nurse operates the tablet terminal 10 to cause the tablet terminal 10 (more specifically, the processor) to execute the application program, which causes the tablet terminal 10 to display an initial screen G1. The initial screen G1 includes a selectable object image 135 indicating "Select Order ID."

[0044] When the nurse selects the object image 135 with the finger 900, the tablet terminal 10 executes the above-described scanning process, thereby sequentially generating the above-described data M1, M2, and Q.

[0045] 7 is a diagram showing a user interface displayed on the tablet terminal 10 after the scanning process is completed. As shown in FIG. 7, the tablet terminal displays screen G2 on the touch screen 130. Screen G2 includes an object image 136 indicating setting information and a selectable object image 137 indicating "Transfer of order information." The setting information includes specified values ​​for setting items.

[0046] The object image 136 includes information based on data M2 (or data Q). In this example, "Heparin Sodium Injection N5000 Single" is displayed as the "Drug Name" within the object image 136. "265.0 mL" and "10 ml / h" are displayed as the "Planned Volume" and "Flow Rate," respectively, within the object image 136. Note that the nurse can scroll the screen to display hidden information based on data M2.

[0047] The object image 136 includes a selectable object image 1361 that indicates "reset." By selecting the object image 1361, the nurse can change the "drug name," "planned amount," and "flow rate." Specifically, the tablet device transitions from screen G2 to another screen for changes, and accepts change instructions (user input) on the screen after the transition. Note that by selecting the object image 1361, it is also possible to add values ​​(specified values) for setting items that have not yet been acquired.

[0048] When the nurse selects the object image 137 with the finger 900, the tablet terminal 10 transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20. As a result, the tablet terminal 10 can transfer the order information for the medicinal fluid recorded in the electronic medical record to the infusion pump as the data Q. The nurse can check the data Q to be transmitted to the infusion pump 20 on the tablet terminal 10 before transmitting it.

[0049] Fig. 8 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the tablet terminal 10 and the infusion pump 20. As shown in Fig. 10, the infusion pump 20 includes a contactless integrated circuit card 21. The tablet terminal 10 includes a control unit 110, a storage unit 120, a touch screen 130, a scanner 140, and a reader / writer 150.

[0050] The control unit 110 includes an extraction unit 111, a generation unit 112, a display control unit 113, and a change unit 114. The touch screen 130 includes a display unit 131 and an input acceptance unit 132. In this example, the display unit 131 corresponds to the display described above. The input acceptance unit 132 corresponds to the touch panel. The scanner 140 includes a sensor 141 and a data processing unit 142. In this example, the sensor 141 is a camera. The reader / writer 150 includes a transmission unit 151.

[0051] The control unit 110 is a functional block realized by a processor executing an operating system and various application programs stored in a storage unit 120 corresponding to a memory. The storage unit 120 stores the above-mentioned communication format in advance.

[0052] The scanner 140 generates data based on the liquid medicine administration instruction information by reading the liquid medicine administration instruction information including the designated values ​​of the setting items of the infusion pump 20. In this example, the scanner 140 reads the electronic medical record. When the scanner 140 reads the electronic medical record shown in FIG. 4, it generates the data P shown in FIG. 5.

[0053] Specifically, an image of the electronic medical record is captured by a sensor 141 of the scanner 140. The data processing unit 142 has an OCR function. The data processing unit 142 generates data P (text data) from the image data obtained by the image capture by the sensor 141.

[0054] The control unit 110 controls the overall operation of the tablet terminal 10. The control unit 110 communicates with the storage unit 120, the touch screen 130, the scanner 140, and the reader / writer 150. The control unit 110 sends operation commands to the scanner 140, the reader / writer 150, etc.

[0055] The extraction unit 111 extracts designated values ​​of a plurality of setting items from the data P sent from the scanner. In the example of Fig. 5, the extraction unit 111 generates data M1 and data M2 from the data P.

[0056] The generating unit 112 generates data Q for communicating with the infusion pump 20 by writing each designated value extracted by the extracting unit 111 into the communication format stored in the storage unit 120. In the example of Fig. 5, the generating unit 112 generates data Q from data M2. The generating unit 112 sends the generated data Q to the reader / writer 150.

[0057] The reader / writer 150 transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20. Specifically, the transmitter 151 transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20 by short-range wireless communication. The infusion pump 20 receives the data Q via the non-contact integrated circuit card 21.

[0058] The display control unit 113 causes various displays to be performed on the display unit 131. For example, the display control unit 113 causes the display unit 131 to display the initial screen G1 shown in Fig. 6. The display control unit 113 causes the display unit 131 to display a screen G2 based on the data M2 generated by the generation unit 112, as shown in Fig. 7.

[0059] The input accepting unit 132 accepts various user inputs (touch operations). For example, the input accepting unit 132 accepts input to change each extracted designated value. In this case, the change unit 114 changes the designated value to a value based on the input. This change process is performed after the object image 1361 shown in FIG. 7 is selected. In this case, the changed data Q is transmitted to the infusion pump 20. Therefore, the tablet terminal 10 allows the user to change information such as numerical values ​​as necessary before transmitting the data Q to the infusion pump 20.

[0060] FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of processing executed in the medical system 1. In sequence SQ1, the tablet terminal 10 scans the electronic medical record displayed on the display 31 of the computer 30. In sequence SQ2, the tablet terminal 10 (more specifically, the extraction unit 111) extracts a predetermined character string (including numerical values) from the data P obtained by the scan. In sequence SQ3, the tablet terminal 10 (more specifically, the generation unit 112) generates data Q by writing the extracted character string into a communication format. In sequence SQ4, the tablet terminal 10 (more specifically, the transmission unit 151) transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20 via short-range wireless communication.

[0061] In sequence SQ5, the infusion pump 20 receives data Q. In sequence SQ6, the infusion pump 20 sets the values ​​of the multiple setting items to the values ​​included in data Q.

[0062] <Summary> With reference to FIG. 5 and other figures, the configuration of the tablet terminal 10 can be summarized as follows.

[0063] (1) The tablet terminal 10 includes a scanner 140 that reads an electronic medical record including designated values ​​for setting items of the infusion pump 20, thereby generating data P based on the electronic medical record. The tablet terminal 10 further includes an extraction unit 111 that extracts the designated values ​​from the generated data P. The tablet terminal 10 further includes a transmission unit 151 that transmits the extracted designated values ​​to the infusion pump 20. Examples of the designated values ​​include the flow rate of the medicinal liquid, the planned amount of the medicinal liquid, and the planned administration time of the medicinal liquid.

[0064] This configuration can prevent incorrect settings from being made in the infusion pump 20 due to a nurse misreading the medical record. Furthermore, since the nurse does not need to input a specified value into the infusion pump 20, incorrect input can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a specified value different from that recorded in the electronic medical record from being input into the infusion pump 20. Specifically, it is possible to prevent a nurse from inputting a numerical value with an incorrect digit, or a nurse from inputting a numerical value into the wrong setting item.

[0065] Therefore, according to the medical system 1, the designated values ​​recorded in the electronic medical record, which is an example of medicinal liquid administration instruction information, can be accurately set in the infusion pump 20, which is an example of a medicinal liquid administration pump. This also allows a single nurse to handle the series of setting tasks for the infusion pump 20. Specifically, since double-checking is no longer necessary, a single nurse can handle the tasks.

[0066] (2) More specifically, the electronic medical record includes designated values ​​for a plurality of setting items. The extraction unit 111 extracts each designated value from the data P. The tablet terminal 10 further includes a generation unit 112 that generates data Q for communication with the infusion pump 20 by writing each designated value extracted by the extraction unit 111 into a predetermined communication format. The transmission unit transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20. With this configuration, the designated values ​​for the plurality of setting items can be set in the infusion pump 20 using the data Q.

[0067] <Variations> (First Variation) In the above, an example of a configuration in which the tablet terminal 10 scans an electronic medical record displayed on the display 31 of the computer 30 has been described, but this is not limited to this.

[0068] 10 is a diagram illustrating a configuration for scanning a medicine label with a tablet terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 10, medicine label 40 has liquid medicine administration instruction information printed on it. Specifically, the medicine label 40 has various information printed on it, such as the patient ID, the patient's name, the name of the liquid medicine, the amount of the liquid medicine administered, and the flow rate (administration rate) of the liquid medicine. In this way, the medicine label 40 has liquid medicine administration instruction information printed on it.

[0069] The nurse scans the medication label 40 using the tablet terminal 10. By scanning the medication label 40, the tablet terminal 10 obtains text data P, similar to the case of an electronic medical record. The tablet terminal 10 then generates data Q by sequentially performing the extraction process and generation process described above (see FIG. 5 ). In this case, too, the tablet terminal 10 transmits data Q to the infusion pump 20. As described above, the infusion pump 20 sets various setting items based on the data Q.

[0070] In this example, the medication label 40 includes a two-dimensional code 41 that stores these various pieces of information. In this manner, the medication administration instruction information is presented as the two-dimensional code 41. The two-dimensional code 41 is typically a QR code (registered trademark). If an application program for reading two-dimensional codes is pre-installed on the tablet terminal 10 (scanner), the two-dimensional code 41 may be read.

[0071] Fig. 11 is a diagram illustrating a configuration for scanning an injection prescription with a tablet terminal 10. The injection prescription 50 shown in Fig. 11 contains liquid medicine administration instruction information. Specifically, the injection prescription contains the patient's name, prescription, etc. The prescription column contains the name of the liquid medicine, dosage, administration rate, etc.

[0072] The nurse scans the injection prescription 50 using the tablet terminal 10. By scanning the injection prescription 50, the tablet terminal 10 acquires text data P, similar to the case of the electronic medical record and the drug label 40. The tablet terminal 10 then generates data Q by sequentially performing the extraction process and generation process described above (see FIG. 5 ). In this case, too, the tablet terminal 10 transmits the data Q to the infusion pump 20. As described above, the infusion pump 20 sets various setting items based on the data Q.

[0073] As described above, a nurse may obtain medicinal liquid administration instruction information not only from an electronic medical record, but also from a drug label or an injection prescription. A nurse may also obtain medicinal liquid administration instruction information by scanning a paper medical record (e.g., a printout of an electronic medical record or a handwritten medical record). There are no particular limitations on the medium to be scanned, as long as the medicinal liquid administration instruction information is displayed or printed on the medium.

[0074] (Second Variant) The format of electronic medical records is not uniform and varies depending on the vendor providing the electronic medical record system or the hospital using the electronic medical record system. Medication labels and injection prescriptions are also not uniform. Therefore, in order for the tablet terminal 10 to send the specified values ​​of the setting items to the infusion pump 20, the extraction unit 111 must extract the specified values ​​from the data P based on the format of the electronic medical record, medication label, and injection prescription. Furthermore, unless standardized, the frame structure used for communication with the infusion pump 20 is also not uniform. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a frame structure for communication depending on the manufacturer or model. Below, a tablet terminal that can handle such situations is described.

[0075] Fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the tablet terminal 10. As shown in Fig. 12, the modified tablet terminal 10A includes a control unit 110A, a storage unit 120A, a touch screen 130, a scanner 140, and a reader / writer 150. The tablet terminal 10A differs from the tablet terminal 10 that includes the control unit 110A and the storage unit 120A in that the tablet terminal 10A includes the control unit 110A and the storage unit 120A.

[0076] The control unit 110A includes an extraction unit 111A, a generation unit 112A, a display control unit 113, and a change unit 114. The control unit 110A differs from the control unit 110 that includes the extraction unit 111 and the generation unit 112A in that the control unit 110A includes the extraction unit 111A and the generation unit 112A. The extraction unit 111A includes a template selection unit 1111. The generation unit 112A includes a format selection unit 1121.

[0077] The storage unit 120A stores a template data database (DB) 121 and a communication format DB 122. The template data DB 121 has a plurality of templates #1, #2, .... The communication format DB 122 has a plurality of communication formats #1, #2, ....

[0078] The template selection unit 1111 refers to the data P and selects template data corresponding to the data P from the template data DB 121. However, the template selection unit 1111 may select one template data from a plurality of template data based on image data acquired by the sensor 141. The template selection unit 1111 performs pattern matching between the data P or the image data and the plurality of template data.

[0079] Extraction unit 111A performs the extraction process of the specified values ​​by referring to the selected template data. With this configuration, extraction unit 111A can recognize, prior to the extraction process, which information is written in which location in the medicinal solution administration instruction information based on the template data. This allows extraction unit 111A to accurately grasp the relationship between the setting items and the specified values. This allows extraction unit 111A to accurately generate data M2.

[0080] The generation unit 112A generates data Q from data M2. At this time, the format selection unit 1121 selects a communication format from among a plurality of communication formats according to the type of infusion pump 20. Information such as the model of the infusion pump 20 can be obtained by the tablet terminal 10A through prior communication, etc. The generation unit 112A generates data Q to be transmitted to the infusion pump 20 using the selected communication format.

[0081] The selection of template data is not limited to being automatically performed by the tablet terminal 10 as described above. A configuration may be adopted in which a nurse or the like selects template data in advance from a plurality of template data that corresponds to the medicinal solution administration instruction information to be scanned.

[0082] (Third Modification) In the above, an example has been described in which the medical system 1 includes only the tablet terminal 10 as the information processing device, but the present invention is not limited to this. The processing of the tablet terminal 10 may be distributed between the tablet terminal and a server device. The information processing device may be configured from the tablet terminal and a server device. Such a configuration will be described below.

[0083] Fig. 13 is a diagram showing a modified example of the medical system 1. As shown in Fig. 13, the modified medical system 1A includes a tablet terminal 10B, an infusion pump 20, and a server device 90. The tablet terminal 10B and the server device 90 are connected to each other via a network such as the Internet.

[0084] Like the tablet terminal 10, the tablet terminal 10B scans medicinal solution administration instruction information such as an electronic medical record with the scanner 140 and generates data P (see FIG. 5 ). The tablet terminal 10B transmits the data P to the server device 90. The server device 90 generates data M1 and M2 based on the data P. The server device 90 further generates data Q based on the data M2. The server device 90 transmits the generated data Q to the tablet terminal 10B, which is the sender of the data P. The tablet terminal 10B transmits the data Q received from the server device 90 to the infusion pump 20 via short-range wireless communication using the reader / writer 150.

[0085] In this way, the load on the tablet terminal 10B can be reduced by distributing the series of processes that were previously performed by the tablet terminal 10 between the tablet terminal 10B and the server device 90. Specifically, the server device 90 executes the processes of the extraction unit 111 and the generation unit 112 described above.

[0086] Because the server device 90 is used, data Q can also be generated from data P using a processing method with a high load. For example, a trained model can be stored in the server device 90, and data Q can be generated from data P using the trained model. In more detail, the server device 90 can generate data Q from data P using the trained model that functions as the extraction unit 111 and the generation unit 112 described above. In this way, by inputting data P to the trained model, data Q can be obtained as output data.

[0087] More specifically, server device 90 is trained in advance to learn various types (formats) of medicinal solution administration instruction information (typically, medicinal solution administration instruction information customized for each hospital). Specifically, the server device is trained to be able to identify template data corresponding to data P from among multiple template data. By using a trained model that has been trained in this way, server device 90 can perform the extraction process described above by referencing template data corresponding to data P. Therefore, server device 90 can generate accurate data Q regardless of the format of medicinal solution administration instruction information.

[0088] The server device 90 may identify the template data based on image data (data before being converted into text) obtained by scanning the medicinal solution administration instruction information, instead of the data P. In this case, the tablet terminal 10B only needs to transmit the image data to the server device 90.

[0089] (Fourth Modification) In a medical system 1 that does not include a server device 90, the tablet terminal 10 may have the trained model described above.

[0090] According to the above-described medical systems 1 and 1A, data Q for the infusion pump 20 is generated by reading medicinal fluid administration instruction information from an electronic medical record or the like. Therefore, the order information for medicinal fluids described in the medicinal fluid administration instruction information can be transferred without cooperating with a vendor that provides the electronic medical record, etc. Specifically, the information included in the order information (such as the flow rate of medicinal fluids) can be notified to the infusion pump 20.
