Information processing system and control method

Abstract

Provided are an information processing system and a control method suitable for a field such as patient care. The information processing system comprises: a converter unit that acquires first data including sleep information pertaining to sleep of a patient from an apparatus related to care of the patient, and outputs second data obtained by transforming the first data into a data format according to integrating the healthcare enterprise (IHE) including sleep information in a field value of an observation result (OBX) segment in health level seven (HL7) used in the IHE; and a manager unit that acquires the second data from the converter unit, and manages the second data.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising: a converter unit that acquires first data including sleep information about the patient's sleep from equipment related to patient care, and outputs second data in a data format according to IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise), in which the first data is transformed into a field value of the Observation Result (OBX) segment in HL7 (Health Level Seven) used in IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) and includes the sleep information; and a manager unit that acquires the second data from the converter unit and manages the second data.

2. An information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the manager unit is an information processing system that outputs the second data to one or more systems, including an electronic medical record system.

3. An information processing system according to claim 2, wherein the manager unit, when it obtains the second data destined for the electronic medical record system from the converter unit, outputs the second data to the electronic medical record system and to any system other than the electronic medical record system.

4. An information processing system according to claim 2, wherein the manager unit acquires mapping data that associates conditions relating to the second data with an output destination when the conditions are met, identifies the output destination associated with the first condition in the mapping data when the second data satisfies the first condition, and outputs the second data to the identified output destination and to a destination specified by the converter unit from among the plurality of systems.

5. An information processing system according to claim 2, wherein the manager unit outputs the second data to the setting system even if the destination specified by the converter unit does not include a setting system for setting parameters of an infusion pump when the second data includes sleep information.

6. An information processing system according to claim 2, wherein the manager unit, when it obtains the second data from the converter unit using a first message which is one of the messages in HL7, outputs the second data to one or more systems using a second message which is a message in HL7 and is different from the first message.

7. An information processing system according to claim 6, wherein the manager unit acquires second correspondence data that associates conditions relating to the second data with the type of second message when the conditions are met, identifies the second message associated with the second conditions in the second correspondence data when the second data satisfies the second conditions, and outputs the second data to one or more systems using the second message.

8. An information processing system according to claim 7, wherein the manager unit outputs the second data to one or more systems using the first message if the second data does not satisfy the second condition.

9. An information processing system according to claim 7, wherein the manager unit obtains a first message containing patient information relating to the patient from a first device via the converter unit, and obtains a first message containing bed information relating to the electronic bed from an electronic bed via the same converter unit, and outputs an ADT message containing the patient information and the bed information as the second message.

10. An information processing system according to claim 7, wherein the manager unit obtains a first message containing patient information relating to the patient from a first device via the converter unit, and when it obtains a first message containing pump information relating to the infusion pump from an infusion pump via the same converter unit, it outputs an OMP message containing an order for medication administration using the infusion pump as the second message.

11. An information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the converter unit outputs a message including the sleep information to the manager unit using transactions of at least one of the ACM (Alarm Communication Management) and DEC (Device Enterprise Communication) profiles in the IHE.

12. A control method comprising: an information processing system acquiring first data including sleep information relating to a patient's sleep from equipment related to patient care; transforming the first data into second data in a data format according to IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise), in which the sleep information is included in the field values ​​of the Observation Result (OBX) segment in HL7 (Health Level Seven) used in IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise); and managing the second data.
