Abstract

According to one embodiment, a healthcare information system includes a measurement type storage unit, input unit, measurement type determination unit, acquisition unit, and measurement value storage unit. The measurement type storage unit stores a plurality of measurement types and healthcare information in association with each other. The input unit inputs healthcare information associated with a monitoring object person. The measurement type determination unit determines a measurement type associated with the input healthcare information in the measurement type storage unit. The acquisition unit acquires a measurement value of the monitoring object person associated with the determined measurement type via a healthcare device. The measurement value storage unit stores the acquired measurement value.

Claims

1. A healthcare information system comprising:

a measurement type storage unit configured to store a plurality of measurement types and healthcare information in association with each other;

an input unit configured to input healthcare information associated with a monitoring object person;

a measurement type determination unit configured to determine a measurement type associated with the input healthcare information in the measurement type storage unit;

an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement value of the monitoring object person associated with the determined measurement type via a healthcare device; and

a measurement value storage unit configured to store the acquired measurement value.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the healthcare information includes at least one of disease information, examination information, medical interview information, and patient information.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising an monitoring rule determination unit configured to determine a monitoring rule including at least one of a storage period of the measurement value and an acquisition timing in accordance with a medical characteristic of the measurement type,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires a measurement value matching the determined monitoring rule from measurement values from the healthcare device, and

the measurement value storage unit stores the measurement value matching the determined monitoring rule.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a monitoring rule determination unit configured to determine an monitoring rule including at least one of a storage period of the measurement value and an acquisition timing in accordance with a medical characteristic of the measurement type; and

a control unit configured to control the healthcare device to measure a measurement value in accordance with the determined monitoring rule,

wherein the measurement value storage unit stores a measurement value acquired by the acquisition unit via the controlled healthcare device.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a storage period determination unit configured to determine a storage period of the measurement value in accordance with the medical characteristic of the measurement type,

wherein the measurement value storage unit stores the acquired measurement value for only the determined storage period.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a storage period determination unit configured to determine a storage period of a measurement value in accordance with a remaining storage capacity of the measurement value storage unit,

wherein the measurement value storage unit stores the acquired measurement value for only the determined storage period.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising an extraction unit configured to extract healthcare information of a monitoring target from the input healthcare information in accordance with at least one of a finding and diagnosis result associated with the monitoring object person,

wherein the measurement type determination unit determines a measurement type associated with the extracted healthcare information in the measurement type storage unit.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a management unit configured to manage a communication setting file including at least one of a transmission data format and a communication standard; and

a setting unit configured to set a communication setting file associated with the healthcare device in the management unit.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a management unit configured to manage an object person file including at least one of an age, sex, and medical history; and

a setting unit configured to set an object person file associated with the monitoring object person in the management unit.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising an output unit configured to output data including at least one of data of healthcare information, data of a measurement value, data of an monitoring rule, and data of a patient file associated with the monitoring object person to a server apparatus via a network.

11. A healthcare information system which monitors a measurement value of a health index of a monitoring object person by using a healthcare device, the system comprising:

a measurement type storage unit configured to store a plurality of measurement types and healthcare information in association with each other;

an input unit configured to input healthcare information associated with the monitoring object person; and

a measurement type determination unit configured to determine a measurement type associated with the input healthcare information in the measurement type storage unit.

12. A healthcare information system comprising:

a measurement value storage unit configured to store a plurality of measurement values associated with a plurality of healthcare information;

a measurement type storage unit configured to store a plurality of measurement types and healthcare information in association with each other;

an input unit configured to input healthcare information associated with a monitoring object person;

a determination unit configured to determine a measurement type as a deletion target from the measurement types in accordance with the input healthcare information; and

a deletion unit configured to delete a measurement value associated with the determined measurement type from the measurement value storage unit.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the determination unit determines a deletion timing in accordance with the input healthcare information, and

the deletion unit deletes a measurement value associated with the determined measurement type from the measurement value storage unit at the determined deletion timing.
