Abstract

A medical test result display device and an operating method thereof are provided. An integration server reads out medical information from a medical case DB on the basis of a patient ID of a delivery request. A screen producing section reads out important test items from important test item information in accordance with an injury/disease code in the delivery request, and extracts test values on the important test items from the medical information. A case list creating section reads out representative case information from the medical case DB on the basis of the injury/disease code. The screen producing section produces a comparative display screen showing a test value graph based on the test values extracted from the medical information and a representative case graph based on test values in the representative case information in a manner allowing comparison therebetween, and delivers the screen to a department terminal to display same.

Claims

1. A medical test result display device, comprising:

an important test item memory section that memorizes those test items to be referred to during the medical practice as important test items for each kind of injuries and diseases among multiple test items included in medical tests, of which test results are expressed by numerical test values;

a reception section that accepts an input of injury/disease identifying information for identifying each injury/disease;

an important test item reading section that reads out important test items corresponding to the received injury/disease identifying information from the important test item memory section;

a test result obtaining section that accesses both a test result storage and a representative case storage to obtain test values on a patient as a present subject under medical practice and representative case information for use in comparison with the test values on the patient with respect to the important test items read out by the important test item reading section, wherein the test result storage stores test values of multiple test items included in medical tests carried out on the patient, and the representative case storage previously stores representative case information indicating test values in representative medical cases on each individual injury/disease;

a screen producing section that produces a test value graph showing temporal change in test values of medical tests carried out on the patient a number of times at different time periods on the basis of the obtained test values on the patient, a representative case graph showing temporal change in test values in a representative medical case on the basis of the obtained representative case information, and a comparative display screen displaying the produced test value graph and representative case graph in a manner allowing comparison therebetween; and

a display controller that controls displaying the comparative display screen on a display device.

2. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 1, wherein

the test value graph of the patient and the representative case graph are displayed on the comparative display screen a manner superposed on each other or in a manner apposed on each other.

3. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 1, wherein

the representative case information includes records on medical treatments performed in the individual medical cases in addition to the test values in representative medical cases, and the comparative display screen displays the medical treatment records in addition to the representative case graph.

4. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a case list creating section that creates a case list of information on multiple representative cases stored in the representative case storage,

wherein the display controller displays the case list on the display device, and the reception section accepts an input of case selecting information for selecting representative case information to be displayed on the comparative display screen from the case list.

5. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 4, wherein

the representative case storage stores representative case information classified according to the kinds and severities of injuries and diseases, and the representative case list shows representative case information on one injury/disease classified according to the severity.

6. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 4, further comprising:

an input history recorder for recording input history information of individual users, which associates an input history of the injury/disease identifying information with an input history of the case selecting information; and

an informing section for informing the user of such representative case information that other users have selected with respect to the same injury/disease on the basis of the input history information.

7. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a case registration unit for registering representative cases in the representative case storage.

8. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 7, further comprising:

a past case obtaining section that accesses a past case storage to obtain past case information, the past case storage storing past case information on multiple cases, indicating test values of past medical tests carried out on other patients than the patient as the present subject of the medical practice,

wherein the case registration unit registers representative case information on the basis of the past case information obtained by the past case obtaining section.

9. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 8, wherein

the case registration unit registers past case information selected from the past case information obtained by the past case obtaining section as representative case information.

10. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 8, wherein

the case registration unit calculates representative values on the basis of test values included in the past case information on multiple cases, and registers the calculated representative value as representative case information.

11. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 8, wherein

the past case storage stores the past case information classified according to the kinds and severities of injuries and diseases, and the case registration unit registers representative case information classified according to the kinds and severities of injuries and diseases on the basis of the past case information.

12. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 8, wherein

the case registration unit is capable of receiving representative case information entered through a manual operation.

13. The medical test result display device set forth in claim 1, wherein

the test result obtaining section obtains representative case information on multiple cases, and the medical test result display device further comprising an extracting section which extracts, on the basis of a set of test values of medical tests carried out a number of times at different time periods in each case, such representative case information that contains a set of test values corresponding to a set of test values on the patient from among the representative case information on multiple cases.

14. A method for operating a medical test result display device for displaying test results of medical tests, comprising:

a receiving step to accept an input of injury/disease identifying information for identifying each injury/disease;

an important test item reading step to read out important test items, which correspond to the injury/disease identifying information received in the receiving step, from an important test item memory section which memorizes test items to be referred to during the medical practice as important test items for individual kinds of injuries and diseases among multiple test items included in medical tests, of which test results are expressed by numerical test values;

an test result obtaining step to obtain, from among test values of multiple test items included in medical tests carried out on a patient as a present subject under medical practices and representative case information previously stored on each individual injury/disease and indicating test values in representative medical cases, those test values on the patient regarding the important test items read out in the important test item reading step and those representative case information for use in comparison with these test values on the patient;
