The server 1 may also accept the comment of the patient A when accepting the medical care information. That is, for example, the patient A who selects the medical information including the medication record may add to the server 1 a comment to the effect that there was an allergic reaction in the past for the drug in the record.

When the server 1 receives the medical information selected by the patient A (S6), the server 1 creates an electronic medical chart of the patient A by using a means (not shown). In the electronic medical record, together with the attributes of the patient A and the symptoms that the patient A is aware of, all or part of the medical information selected by the patient A, or information identifying the medical information selected by the patient A (for example, medical information identifier Or the URL of a Web page where medical information is posted).

The server 1 is selected by the patient A (patient A
The medical information received (from) is transmitted to doctor B (S7).
FIG. 6 is an example of a Web page in which the server 1 presents the medical information selected by the patient A to the doctor B, which is an electronic medical record of the patient A. The URL of the medical care information (medical care information identifier 1) corresponding to the medical care method desired by the patient A is posted on the Web page P3 which is an electronic medical record. Doctor B
When examining the patient A, the user connects to the server 1 from the terminal 3 to receive the Web page P3, browses the medical care information (medical care information identifier 1) selected by the patient A, and diagnoses recorded in the medical care information. It is possible to confirm the medical treatment method desired by the patient A from the records and refer to the medical treatment of the patient A.

According to the above-described embodiment, the patient A is made to browse the symptom that the patient A is aware of and the medical information extracted based on the attribute of the patient A from the medical information accumulated in advance, By presenting the medical treatment information corresponding to the medical treatment method desired by the patient A to the doctor B who treats the patient A, the selection of the medical treatment method by the patient A can be supported. Moreover, since the desired medical treatment method is presented to the medical doctor B by using the medical care information including the medical record input by the medical doctor B, the desired medical care method can be accurately designated to the medical doctor B. As a result, the doctor B considers the result of the actual examination of the patient A and the medical treatment method desired by the patient A, and “adopts the desired medical treatment method as it is”.
"Tell the patient A about problems with the desired medical treatment method""Tell the patient A why the desired medical treatment method cannot be adopted"
The patient A can get an opportunity to receive a sufficient explanation from the doctor B about the medical treatment method.

In the above-described embodiment, the patient A visits the hospital and browses the medical information, that is, the terminal 2
However, the location of the terminal 2 is not limited to this. That is, for example, before visiting a hospital, the patient A may connect to the server 1 from a terminal at home to browse medical information and select desired medical information. By doing so, for example, the patient A can select a hospital or a doctor at home by designating a desired medical treatment method, and can make a medical appointment for the hospital or the like. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the patient A inputs the extraction condition to the server 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it input the extraction condition into 1. Similarly, the person who selects the medical information is not limited to the patient A and may be another person. Here, the person who inputs the extraction condition to the server 1 and the person who selects the medical information may be different persons. This way, for example,
A person in charge of acceptance of the hospital or the like can transmit the extraction condition to the server 1 by interacting with the patient A.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the medical information selected by the patient A, that is, the medical information presented to the doctor B is one medical information, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of medical information is provided. The medical treatment information may be presented to the doctor B.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the doctor B confirms the medical information selected by the patient A when examining the patient A in the examination room, but the present invention is not limited to this. It does not matter, for example, before the medical treatment. In this way, for example, patient A
Connects the home terminal to the server 1 to select medical information, while the doctor B connects the server 1 to the server 1 to check the medical information selected by the patient A. A is able to receive medical advice from the doctor B through the server 1 or by telephone directly without facing the doctor B in the examination room or the like.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the patient A selects the medical information before receiving the medical treatment from the doctor B, but the present invention is not limited to this. It does not matter even if the doctor B is receiving medical treatment. In this way, for example, doctor B
The patient A who is receiving medical treatment from the above can browse the medical information, select it, and present it to the doctor B, thereby designating the desired medical treatment method to the doctor B. In this case, the symptom regarding the patient A input to the server 1 as the extraction condition may be a symptom which the patient himself or herself recognizes.
It may be the result of medical examination.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the medical treatment person who inputs the medical treatment information to the server and the medical treatment person who receives the medical treatment information selected by the patient from the server are the same. The present invention is not limited to this, and the user who inputs the medical care information and the user who receives the medical care information selected by the patient may be different. That is, for example, this server receives and accumulates medical care information from a plurality of users (regardless of Western medicine, Oriental medicine, hospitals to which they belong) and stores the medical information selected by the patient A in the patient A. The medical treatment person (not necessarily the medical treatment person who input the medical treatment information selected by the patient A into this server)
May be presented. In this way, the patient A can specify to his or her home doctor the medical treatment method performed by a user other than the home doctor as the desired medical treatment method. Even with a medical treatment method that never occurs, you can get the opportunity to receive it from the home doctor. In addition, the patient A has an opportunity to select a medical treatment method for his / her own condition while confirming it widely regardless of fields such as western medicine and oriental medicine.
It can be presented to a practitioner who is treating himself.

Here, the practitioner who treats the patient A is the patient A.
It may be possible to specify another user who has input the medical care information selected by the user to the server. That is, when receiving and accumulating the medical care information from the user, the server also receives and accumulates information about the user, such as the name of the user and the contact information of the hospital to which the user belongs, in advance. The medical treatment information selected by the patient A and the information regarding the medical treatment user who input the medical treatment information are also presented to the medical treatment person who treats the medical treatment. In this way, the practitioner who treats the patient A can inquire about the treatment method or the like to the practitioner who has input the treatment information regarding the treatment method desired by the patient A via the server or directly. Can be
