Abstract

A data output device capable of simply performing both of recognition of an entire image at an important point in time regarding medical care and recognition of a detailed change in time series data at the point in time is provided.

A data display screen includes first and second display areas. In the first display area, time-series data indicating a state transition of a patient or content related to medical care performed on the patient is displayed in a graph. First indicators can be assigned to the graph. Second indicators are displayed at corresponding positions in the second display area that temporally correspond to designated positions in the first display area to which the first indicators are assigned. A second time axis in the second display area has a time scale which is longer than that of a first time axis in the first display area.

Claims

1. A data output device for displaying time-series data indicating at least one of a state transition of a patient or content of medical care performed on the patient, the data output device comprising:

a processor configured to perform the functions of;

generating screen data of a data display screen including a first display area for displaying the time-series data, and a second display area for displaying a time axis in a time scale relatively longer than that of the first display area;

receiving an indicator assignment instruction to assign a first indicator to a designated position designated on the time-series data; and

assigning the first indicator at the designated position in the first display area on the basis of the indicator assignment instruction, and assigns a second indicator indicating that there is the first indicator to a corresponding position that temporally corresponds to the designated position in the second display area,

wherein the data display screen includes a list display area for displaying content of a plurality of first indicators as a list, in addition to the first display area and the second display area,

wherein the first indicator is associated with an attribute of the time-series data to which the first indicator is assigned, and

wherein in the list display area, the first indicators to be displayed are narrowed down from among the plurality of first indicators according to the attribute.

2. The data output device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to further perform the functions of:

setting a degree of importance for at least one of the first indicator or the second indicator; and

changing a display mode of at least one of the first indicator or the second indicator according to the setting of the degree of importance.

3. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein in the data display screen, in the event that one of the second indicators displayed in the second display area is selected, a first display period of the first display area is able to be changed to a display period including the first indicator corresponding to the selected second indicator.

4. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein in the data display screen, a second display period of the second display area is able to be set according to a period in which there is the first indicator.

5. The data output device according to claim 4,

wherein in the data display screen, a period in which there is the first indicator is extracted from a most recent predetermined period, and the second display period is set.

6. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the first indicator is a tag in which text is able to be displayed.

7. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein only the first indicator displayed in the list display area is displayed in the first display area.

8. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the time-series data includes at least one of data regarding a vital sign including at least one of a heart rate, a pulse rate, blood pressure, body temperature, or respiration, data regarding inspection, or data regarding treatment.

9. The data output device according to claim 8,

wherein the data regarding the inspection includes an inspection value expressed as a numerical value, or an inspection image, and

the data on treatment includes administration content of a drug.

10. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein in the first display area, a plurality of pieces of time-series data is able to be displayed.

11. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein in the first display area, a display form of the time-series data is a graph or a table.

12. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein in the second display area, a data presence indicator indicating a data presence period in which there is time-series data is displayed along a time axis.

13. A data output method for displaying time-series data indicating at least one of a state transition of a patient or content of medical care performed on the patient on a display unit, the data output method comprising:

a screen data generation step of generating screen data of a data display screen including a first display area for displaying the time-series data, and a second display area for displaying a time axis in a time scale relatively longer than that of the first display area;

an indicator assignment instruction reception step of receiving an indicator assignment instruction to assign a first indicator to a designated position designated on the time-series data; and

an indicator assignment step of assigning the first indicator to the designated position in the first display area on the basis of the indicator assignment instruction, and assigning a second indicator indicating that there is the first indicator to a corresponding position that temporally corresponds to the designated position in the second display area,

wherein the data display screen includes a list display area for displaying content of a plurality of first indicators as a list, in addition to the first display area and the second display area,

wherein the first indicator is associated with an attribute of the time-series data to which the first indicator is assigned, and

wherein in the list display area, the first indicators to be displayed are narrowed down from among the plurality of first indicators according to the attribute.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing a computer-executable program enabling execution of computer instructions to perform operations for displaying time-series data indicating at least one of a state transition of a patient or content of medical care performed on the patient on a display unit, said operations comprising:

generating screen data of a data display screen including a first display area for displaying the time-series data, and a second display area for displaying a time axis in a time scale relatively longer than that of the first display area;

receiving an indicator assignment instruction to assign a first indicator to a designated position designated on the time-series data; and

assigning the first indicator to the designated position in the first display area on the basis of the indicator assignment instruction, and assigning a second indicator indicating that there is the first indicator to a corresponding position that temporally corresponds to the designated position in the second display area,

wherein the data display screen includes a list display area for displaying content of a plurality of first indicators as a list, in addition to the first display area and the second display area,

wherein the first indicator is associated with an attribute of the time-series data to which the first indicator is assigned, and

wherein in the list display area, the first indicators to be displayed are narrowed down from among the plurality of first indicators according to the attribute.
