The database search unit 273 acquires the data acquisition request from the reception / authentication unit 272, and searches the database 25 with the search condition included in the data acquisition request. If corresponding medical information is detected as a result of the search, the detected medical information is transmitted to the transmission means 274.
The transmission means 274 transmits the medical information obtained by searching the database 25 to the client terminal 10 that has requested acquisition.

  Next, a software processing unit 300 realized by the cooperation of hardware such as the CPU 31 and software stored in the ROM 32 in the control unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The software processing unit 300 includes a display information search receiving unit 301, a medical record acquisition unit 302, a display screen management unit 303, and a display control unit 304.

  The display information search accepting unit 301 accepts an operation input from an input device such as the keyboard 40 and the mouse 41 via the input interface 36. The information received by the display information search receiving means 301 includes designation information for designating medical information to be displayed on the monitor 39. The designation information received by the display information search receiving unit 301 is output to the medical record acquisition unit 302.

  When the medical record acquisition unit 302 acquires the designation information from the display information search reception unit 301, the medical record acquisition unit 302 transmits a data acquisition request including the acquired designation information to the electronic medical record management server 20 via the communication interface 37. When medical information for which acquisition of information is requested is transmitted from the electronic medical record management server 20, the medical record acquisition unit 302 receives this medical information and transfers it to the display control unit 304.

The display screen management unit 303 manages the display information displayed on each child screen by the display control unit 304 and information such as the display area of the child screen in the RAM 33 for management. In response to a request from the display control unit 304, the requested information is extracted from the RAM 33 and output to the display control unit 304.
For example, the display screen management unit 304 manages information (for example, display coordinates on the display area) of a plurality of sub-screens displayed in the display area of the monitor 39. The display area of the monitor 39 is divided into a plurality of sub-screens, and medical information is displayed on each of the divided sub-screens. The display screen management unit 303 manages the correspondence between a plurality of child screens and medical information displayed on the plurality of child screens. Further, the display screen management unit 303 determines the screen order of each sub-screen from the display position on the display area of the plurality of sub-screens. For example, the screen order of the sub-screen that is displayed on the uppermost side on the left side is set to be the highest, and the screen order of the sub-screen that is displayed on the lowermost side on the right side is set to be the lowest. Information on the screen order of each child screen and information on the medical treatment type displayed on each child screen are notified from the display screen management unit 303 to the display control unit 304.

The display control unit 304 causes the monitor 39 to display the medical information acquired by the medical record acquisition unit 302 via the graphic interface 35.
Further, the display control unit 304 acquires information on the medical treatment type to be displayed on each child screen from the display screen management unit 303. Then, the display control unit 304 displays medical information corresponding to each sub-screen according to the acquired information.

Upon receiving an access request from the client terminal 10, the electronic medical record management server 20 performs user authentication by the reception / authentication unit 272 and performs login processing. When the user authentication ends normally, the electronic medical record management server 20 requests the client terminal 10 to input identification information (ID) for specifying the patient. Identification information for identifying the patient is assigned to each patient, and the patient's past medical information can be retrieved and displayed on the client terminal 10 by inputting the identification information.
When the patient identification information is input, the electronic medical record management server 20 causes the client terminal 10 to display a list page of medical information. An example of a list page of medical information is shown in FIG. For example, if the patient has received medical care in the past, an icon indicating whether or not to search and display medical chart information created in the past is displayed on the medical information list page. Further, if the patient is performing a sample test or an image test, an icon indicating whether or not the test result is retrieved and displayed is displayed. In addition, an icon representing an order is displayed if the doctor requests an examination to grasp the patient's condition or instructs the nurse to provide medical care.

  When the icon is selected, the database search unit 273 searches for the medical information of the patient, and the search result is displayed on the monitor 39 of the client terminal 10. FIG. 6 shows a display example of the monitor 39 of the client terminal 10 displaying the medical information. The display area of the monitor 39 is divided into a plurality of sub-screens, and medical information such as medical records and examination results are displayed on each of the divided sub-screens. Each child screen is set with a viewer for displaying medical information (hereinafter referred to as a child viewer), and the child viewer displays the medical information acquired from the electronic medical record management server 20 on the corresponding child screen. Note that the size of the child screen (that is, the display size of the child viewer) can be arbitrarily set by an operation input from an operator such as a doctor or a nurse.

  The medical information displayed on each of the sub-screens 101, 102, and 103 has a header part 120 and a body part 130 as shown in FIG. In the header part 120, for example, attribute information of the displayed information and an end button are displayed. The body part 130 displays actual data such as the record contents of the chart and the result of the examination.

Next, a data table recorded in the RAM 33 of the client terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The display screen management unit 303 of the client terminal 10 records screen layout information set by the operator in the RAM 33. FIG. 7A shows a layout table when the data type is a dividing line.
The dividing line indicates a line segment that divides the child screen and the child screen. In FIG. 8, a horizontal dividing line 311 that divides the second child screen 102 and the third child screen 103, the first child screen 101, the second child screen 102, and the third child screen 103 are divided. A vertical dividing line 312 is shown. The number of dividing lines and the direction of arrangement can be arbitrarily set and changed by the operator.

When the data type is a dividing line, the layout table includes a layout number, a type, a deployment number, a direction of the dividing line, and a start point coordinate and an end point coordinate in one of the coordinates of the X axis and the Y axis. And coordinate information at the other coordinate are recorded. The layout number is a number for identifying each set layout. The type is information that identifies whether the type of data is a dividing line or a child viewer.
The deployment number is information for identifying a dividing line deployed in the layout indicated by the layout number. For example, the layout table shown in FIG. 7A indicates that two dividing lines with deployment numbers “1” and “2” are deployed in the layout with layout number “0001”. The direction of the dividing line is information indicating whether the dividing line is arranged in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) or in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction).
The start point coordinates and the end point coordinates in either one of the X axis and the Y axis indicate, for example, the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates in the X axis direction when dividing lines are arranged in the horizontal direction. Further, the coordinate value at the other coordinate when the dividing line is arranged in the horizontal direction indicates a coordinate value in the Y-axis direction.
When the dividing lines are arranged in the vertical direction, the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates in either one of the X axis and the Y axis indicate the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates in the Y axis direction. The coordinate value at the other coordinate when the dividing line is arranged in the vertical direction indicates the coordinate value in the X-axis direction.

FIG. 7B shows information recorded in the layout table when the data type is a child viewer.
If the data type is a child viewer, the layout table will display the child viewer's layout number, type, deployment number, viewer type, display condition, search condition, and child window where the child viewer displays the display information. The coordinate value indicating the display area is recorded.
The viewer type indicates the type of data displayed on the child viewer. For example, there are types such as images, medical records, and inspection results.
The display condition indicates a display format of data displayed on the child viewer. For example, there are display formats such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) images, list display, and image display.
The search condition represents a search condition for searching the database 25 for data to be displayed on the child viewer. For example, radiation images, examination orders, nursing records, CT (Computerized Tomography) images, etc. are used as search conditions.
The coordinate value of the display area of the child screen is a coordinate value indicating the coordinates of the four corners of the display area of the child screen.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7B, in the layout with the layout number “0001”, information is displayed on three child viewers with the deployment numbers “1”, “2”, and “3”. In addition, the radiation image is displayed in the child viewer with the deployment number “1”, the progress note is displayed in the HTML format in the child viewer with the deployment number “2”, and the general inspection is displayed in the child viewer with the deployment number “3”. A list of inspection results is displayed.

Next, an operation history table for storing an operator's operation history will be described with reference to FIG. This operation history table is also generated in the RAM 33 by the display screen management means 303.
In the operation history table, an operation history number, an operation name, a processing number, a type, and a deployment number are recorded. In addition, when the data type is a dividing line, coordinate information indicating the direction of the dividing line and the position of the dividing line after the change (starting point coordinates and ending point coordinates on one coordinate axis, and on the other coordinate axis) Coordinate information) is recorded. Note that the operation history numbers in the operation history table are numbered in the order of the input time of operations, with the latest operation history number being “1”. That is, when a new operation is input, this operation is recorded as an operation history number “1” in the operation history table. The operation history having the operation history number “1” is stored in the operation history number “2”. In the same manner, numbers are assigned in the order of the input time of operations.

The save information of the operation history table will be described with a specific example.
First, the horizontal movement of the dividing line will be described as an example with reference to FIGS. 10 (A) and 10 (B). 10A and 10B show an example in which the dividing line 311 is moved in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). 10A shows the display position of the dividing line 311 before movement, and FIG. 10B shows the display position of the dividing line 311 after movement.
Assume that an instruction to move the horizontal dividing line 311 shown in FIG. 10A in the direction in which the coordinate in the Y-axis direction is increased by “100” is input. In this case, information of the operation history number “1” shown in FIG. 9 is recorded in the operation history table. That is, “moving the dividing line” is recorded as the operation name, “1” is recorded as the processing number, and the deployment number “1” indicating the dividing line 311 is recorded. Further, “horizontal direction” is recorded as the direction of the dividing line 311, “300” is recorded as the start point coordinate in the X axis direction, and “600” is recorded as the end point coordinate in the X axis direction. Further, “500” obtained by adding “100” to “400” before the movement is recorded as the coordinate value in the Y-axis direction of the dividing line 311 after the movement.

FIGS. 11A and 11B illustrate a case where the display of the child screen is deleted and the display area of another child screen is extended to the deleted child screen area. The stored information of the operation history table shown in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 (A) and 11 (B). 11A shows the display state of the monitor 39 before deleting the child screen c, and FIG. 11B shows the display state of the monitor 39 after deleting the child screen c.
For example, when deleting the child screen c, it is recorded in the operation history table that the dividing line 311 that divides the child screen b and the child screen c is deleted. That is, the coordinate value of the dividing line 311 before erasure is recorded in the operation history table. Specifically, it is information of the operation history number “2” shown in FIG. 9, “Erasing the dividing line” is recorded as the operation name, “2” is recorded as the processing number, and the dividing line 311 is arranged. “1” is recorded as the number. Further, “horizontal direction” is recorded as the direction of the dividing line 311 before deletion, “300” is recorded as the start point coordinate in the Y axis direction of the dividing line 311, and “600” is recorded as the end point coordinate in the Y axis direction ( (See FIG. 9). As the child screen c is deleted, the information of the child viewer that displays information on the child screen c is also deleted from the layout table.

In this embodiment, when an operation for deleting a child screen is input in a state where a plurality of child screens are displayed on the display screen of the monitor 39, display information of a child screen adjacent to the child screen to be deleted is set. Is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the sub-screen to be deleted.
In addition, selection of a child screen for displaying the display information in an enlarged manner is set according to the display state of the adjacent child screen and the arrangement position of the adjacent child screen with respect to the child screen to be deleted.

A specific description will be given with reference to FIGS. In the display example shown in FIG. 12A, five child screens of child screens a, b, c, d, and e are displayed as child screens. Also, four dividing lines 201, 202, 203, and 204 are shown as dividing lines for dividing these child screens a, b, c, d, and e.
For example, it is assumed that an operation for deleting the child screen b shown in FIG. The child screen b is a display area divided by dividing lines 201, 202, and 203. In FIGS. 12 to 14, the dividing line is highlighted with a bold line in order to display the position of the dividing line in an easy-to-understand manner.

First, the display control unit 304 detects a dividing line that is in contact with only the child screen b from which one of the dividing lines 201, 202, and 203 is deleted. The display control unit 304 acquires layout table information from the display screen management unit 303 and detects a corresponding dividing line.
The dividing line 201 is in contact with the child screens a, b, and c on the left side of the dividing line 201 and is in contact with the child screens d and e on the right side of the dividing line 201. The dividing line 202 is in contact with the child screen a above the dividing line 202 and is in contact with the child screen b below the dividing line 202. The dividing line 203 is in contact with the child screen b above the dividing line 203 and is in contact with the child screen c below the dividing line 203. Accordingly, in the example shown in FIG. 12A, the dividing lines 202 and 203 are dividing lines in which the child screen b is in contact with one side of these dividing lines 202 and 203.

  When the dividing lines 202 and 203 that contact only the child screen b to be deleted are detected on one side, the display control unit 304 determines the display state of the child screen that contacts the other side of the detected dividing lines 202 and 203. That is, the display control unit 304 determines whether or not the scroll bar 220 and the slider 221 are displayed on the child screen that is in contact with the other side of the detected dividing lines 202 and 203, and the display information of the child screen is displayed as a slider. To do. In the example shown in FIG. 12A, the display information is displayed as a slider on the sub-screen a, and the display information is not displayed on the sub-screen c. Therefore, the child screen c can display all information in the current display size of the child screen c, and the child screen a determines that not all information can be displayed at once with the current display size of the child screen a. it can. Therefore, the display control unit 304 sets the child screen a to expand the display area to the region of the child screen b when the child screen b to be deleted is deleted. FIG. 12B shows a display example in which the child viewer that has displayed the display information on the child screen b and the dividing line 202 are deleted, and the display area of the child screen a is enlarged to the display area of the child screen b. Show. Information about whether or not the scroll bar 220 and the slider 221 are displayed on each child screen is also managed by the display screen management means 303.

If the dividing line to be deleted cannot be determined only from the display states of the child screens a and c, the display control unit 304 sets the child screen b according to the preset priority of the child screen arrangement. Select the sub-screen that expands the display area. For example, if the scroll bar 220 is displayed on both the child screen a and the child screen c, or if the scroll bar 220 is not displayed on both the child screen a and the child screen c, the child screen The dividing line to be deleted cannot be determined from the display states of a and c. Therefore, the display control unit 304 selects a child screen that expands the display area to the region of the child screen b according to the set priority.
As an example of the priority of the arrangement of the child screens, the priority of the child screen located above the child screen to be deleted is set higher than that of the child screen located below the child screen to be deleted. Similarly, the priority of the child screen located on the left side of the child screen to be deleted is set higher than the priority of the child screen located on the right side of the child screen to be deleted.

As described above, in this embodiment, when an operation for deleting a child screen is input, a child screen whose display area is to be expanded is selected in consideration of the display state of the child screen adjacent to the selected child screen. Therefore, when the child screen is deleted, the display information of the child screen that expands the display area along with the deletion can be in a good state. Specifically, it is possible to improve the visibility of the display information of the child screen by enlarging the display area of the child screen displayed in the scroll display. Therefore, user convenience can be improved.
In addition, since the child screen that touches the other side of the dividing line that only the child screen to be deleted on one side touches is selected as a child screen candidate that expands the display area, it is easy to select a child screen candidate. Become.

Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 13A shows a display state before deletion of the child screen, and FIG. 13B shows a display state after deletion of the child screen. The example shown in FIG. 13 shows an example in which the child screen c is deleted.
In the display example shown in FIG. 13A, there are two dividing lines in contact with the child screen c to be deleted, that is, a dividing line 206 and a dividing line 207. Among these, the scroll bar 220 and the slider 221 are displayed on the sub-screen “a” in contact with the dividing line 206. Further, the child screens a and b are located above the child screen c to be deleted. Accordingly, the dividing line 206 becomes a dividing line to be deleted. Since the dividing line 206 is deleted, the child screens that expand the display area to the region of the child screen c are the child screen a and the child screen b. FIG. 13B shows a display screen of the monitor 39 after the child screen c is deleted. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the display information is displayed on the child screen “a” in a slider display, but the child screen “b” is not displayed on a slider. Therefore, the display area 250 of the child screen b shown in FIG. 13A is displayed in the same display size even after the child screen c is deleted as shown in FIG. 13B. A lower area than the display area 250 of the child screen b is a blank area. If the display information of the sub-screen b can be enlarged and displayed without changing the aspect ratio, it may be enlarged so that a blank area can be prevented as much as possible.

Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A shows the display state before the child screen is deleted, and FIG. 14B shows the display state after the child screen is deleted. The example shown in FIG. 14 is an example in which the child screens a, b, and c are deleted, and an example in which the child screens a, b, and c are deleted at once is shown.
For example, the user clicks the header portion 120 of the child screen to be deleted with the mouse 41 while watching the display on the monitor 39. When the header portion 120 of the child screen is clicked, the display control unit 304 changes the display color from before the clicked display color of the header portion 120 of the clicked child screen. In the example shown in FIG. 14A, the header 120 of the sub-screens a, b, and c is clicked, and the display color of the header 120 of the sub-screens a, b, and c is changed.

When any of the selected child screens a, b, and c is clicked while the child screens a, b, and c are selected, the display control unit 304 selects the selected child screens a, b. , C is executed. Since the dividing line that is in contact with the selected child screens a, b, and c on one side is the dividing line 210, the dividing line 210 becomes the dividing line to be deleted. In addition, the sub-screens enlarged and displayed in the display area of the sub-screen to be deleted are the sub-screens d and e. 14B, the dividing line 210 is deleted, the child viewers of the child screens a, b, and c are deleted, and the display areas of the child screens d and e are expanded to the display areas of the child screens a, b, and c. A display example is shown.
As described above, this embodiment can select a plurality of sub-screens and delete the selected sub-screens at a time, so that the number of times the display screen layout is changed can be reduced. That is, if the child screens are deleted in the order of child screen a, child screen b, and child screen c, the layout of the screen is changed three times, but child screens a, b, and c are collectively displayed. By deleting, the number of layout changes can be reduced to one.

Next, the processing procedure of the display control means 304 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This processing procedure is a processing procedure of the display control unit 304 when selecting one of a plurality of sub-screens and deleting the selected sub-screen.
For example, when a sub-screen to be deleted is selected by an input device such as the mouse 41, the display control unit 304 displays information on the dividing line that touches the sub-screen to be deleted (display coordinate information of the dividing line). (Step S1). Next, the display control unit 304 uses the acquired dividing line information to select a dividing line in which only the child screen to be deleted is in contact with one side of the dividing line (step S2). The display control unit 304 also refers to the layout table information acquired from the display screen management unit 303 and selects a dividing line in which only the child screen to be deleted is in contact with one side of the dividing line.
For example, when the child screen “a” shown in FIG. 12 is a child screen to be deleted, the other child screens “b” and “c” on one side of the dividing line 201 like the dividing line 201 are displayed. The parting line that touches is also excluded from selection. Hereinafter, the selected dividing line is referred to as a deletion candidate dividing line.

  When the deletion candidate dividing line is selected, the display control unit 304 detects a child screen in contact with the other side of the deletion candidate dividing line, and records the detected child screen information (coordinates of the display area) in the RAM 33. (Step S3). At this time, there may be a plurality of child screens in contact with the other side of the deletion candidate dividing line. In the following, a child screen that is in contact with the other side of the deletion candidate dividing line is referred to as an extended candidate child screen (group) (including a case where there are one and a plurality of candidate child screens to be expanded).

Next, the display control unit 304 determines the number of deletion candidate dividing lines selected in step S2 (step S3). When the number of selected deletion candidate dividing lines is one (step S4 / YES), the display control unit 304 deletes the child viewer set on the deletion target child screen and deletes the deletion candidate dividing lines. Is deleted as a deletion dividing line (step S5). Then, the display control means 304 expands the display area of the extension candidate child screen (group) to the display area of the deleted child screen (step S5).
For example, when the child screen b shown in FIG. 12 is deleted and the display region of the child screen a is expanded to the deleted region, the Y coordinate value of the child screen a to be expanded is changed to the Y coordinate value of the deleted child screen b. Replace with Similarly, when the child screens a, b, and c shown in FIG. 14 are deleted and the display area of the child screens d and e is expanded to the deleted area, the X coordinate values of the child screens d and e to be expanded are Replace with the X coordinate values of the deleted child screens a, b, and c.

When the number of deleted gazette dividing lines selected in step S4 is plural (step S4 / NO), the display control unit 304 scrolls the display information in the extended candidate child screen (group). It is determined whether or not there is a child screen (step S6). That is, the display control unit 304 determines whether or not there is an extended candidate child screen (group) displaying the scroll bar 220 in the extension screen (group) in contact with the dividing line for each deletion candidate dividing line. judge.
When there is no expansion candidate sub-screen (group) displaying the scroll bar 220 (step S6 / NO), the display control unit 304 expands the display area to the sub-screen area to be deleted according to a preset priority. A sub-screen (group) to be deleted and a dividing line to be deleted are selected (step S9).
In the present embodiment, the priority of the child screen located above the child screen to be deleted is higher than the priority of the child screen located lower than the child screen to be deleted. Further, the priority of the child screen located on the left side of the child screen to be deleted is higher than the priority of the child screen located on the right side of the child screen to be deleted.

When there is an extended candidate child screen (group) in which the display information is scroll-displayed (step S6 / YES), the display control unit 304 proceeds to the process of step S7. In step S7, the display control means 304 has a plurality of extended candidate child screens (group) displaying the scroll bar 220, and these extended candidate child screens (group) are in contact with different dividing lines. It is determined whether or not (step S7). If the determination in step S7 is affirmative (step S7 / YES), the display control unit 304 selects a dividing line to be deleted according to a preset priority and a child screen (group) to be expanded (step S9).
The display control unit 304 selects a child screen (group) having the highest priority from the expansion candidate child screens, and sets the selected child screen (group) as a child screen (group) to be expanded. In addition, the display control unit 304 sets the dividing line in contact with the child screen (group) to be expanded as a dividing line to be deleted.

  If the determination in step S7 is negative, the display control unit 304 expands the child screen that displays the scroll bar 220 and this child screen if there is another child screen that touches the dividing line that the child screen touches. Set to the sub screen (group) to be used. Further, the display control means 304 sets the dividing line in contact with the expanded child screen (group) as a dividing line to be deleted (step 8).

  When the child screen (group) to be expanded and the dividing line to be deleted are set (step S8), the display control unit 304 deletes the child viewer set to the child screen to be deleted and the dividing line set to be deleted. To do. Then, the display control means 304 expands the display area of the child screen (group) to be extended to the display area of the deleted child screen (step S10).

Next, a processing procedure of the display control unit 304 when a plurality of sub-screens are selected and deleted will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When the child screen to be deleted is selected by the input device such as the mouse 41 (step S11), the display control unit 304 determines whether or not the number of the selected child screens is plural (step S12). If the determination result of step S12 is negative, the process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

  If the determination result in step S12 is affirmative, the information (display position information) of the selected plurality of child screens to be deleted and the information of the dividing lines in contact with these child screens (display coordinates of the dividing lines) Information) is acquired from the display screen management means 303 (step S13).

  Next, the display control unit 304 sets one of a plurality of selected deletion target child screens as a processing target child screen (step S14). Then, the display control unit 304 selects a child screen (group) that expands the display area to the region of the child screen to be processed and a dividing line to be deleted in accordance with the deletion of the child screen to be processed (step) S15). The details of this process have been described in detail in S1 to S9 of the flow shown in FIG.

  Next, the display control unit 304 includes information on the child screen to be processed, information on the dividing line that is deleted when the child screen is deleted, and an extension that extends the display region to the region of the child screen to be processed. The screen (group) information is output to the display screen management means 303 and stored in the RAM 33 (step S16).

  Next, the display control unit 304 determines whether or not there is a sub-screen not selected as a processing target sub-screen among a plurality of sub-screens to be deleted selected by an input device such as a mouse ( Step S17). If the determination in step S17 is affirmative, the display control unit 304 performs the processing from step S14 again using this child screen as a child screen to be processed. When the determination result of step S17 is negative, the display control unit 304 deletes the child viewers set for all the deletion-target child screens and the deletion that is performed when the deletion-target child screens are deleted. The line is deleted (step S18). Then, the display control unit 304 enlarges the display area of the selected extension screen (group) to the display area of the deleted child screen (step S18). Note that the deletion of all child viewers and dividing lines and the expansion of the display area of all extension screens (groups) are performed in a lump.
