Description

  The present invention relates to a brick generation device, a brick generation method, and a program.

  For many years, the applicant of the present application has been in charge of creating statistical data relating to sales of various pharmaceuticals to medical facilities (hospitals, pharmacies, etc.) and providing them to pharmaceutical companies. When creating statistical data, consideration is given to ensuring that sales to individual medical facilities are not specified for hospitals, practitioners, pharmacies, etc. with relatively few beds. Specifically, medical facilities are grouped so that each group includes a predetermined number or more of medical facilities, and statistical data is created in the form of sales for each group.

  Grouping of medical facilities can be performed using the technique described in Patent Document 1. According to Patent Document 1, a division target area is automatically divided into a plurality of areas (bricks) based on map data. Thereafter, the person in charge of ward division combines and divides the bricks while looking at the map so that the number of medical facilities in the bricks finally falls within a predetermined range for all the bricks. Thus, by combining automatic division and manual adjustment while viewing a map, it is possible to save labor in grouping work of medical facilities.

  According to Patent Document 1, since medical facilities are grouped based on an area (brick) generated by division based on map data, the sales of each group represent the sales in the area corresponding to the group. Therefore, the pharmaceutical company can grasp the sales for each area from the provided statistical data.

JP 2006-91199 A

  A pharmaceutical company may want to grasp sales by MR (medical representative) instead of by area. In order to be able to grasp sales by MR, it is necessary to group medical facilities based on which MR is in charge of each medical facility, not based on area.

  However, the number of facilities in charge of each MR is not necessarily constant. For example, there may be MRs that handle only a very small number of medical facilities such as 1 or 2, while MRs that are in charge of a very large number of medical facilities. There may be. Therefore, there is a case where it is not possible to satisfy the requirement that each group includes a predetermined number or more of medical facilities simply by making medical facilities handled by the same MR as one group. In this case, group adjustment is required. In addition, since which MR is in charge of each medical facility differs for each pharmaceutical company, it is necessary to group medical facilities for each pharmaceutical company. Therefore, the work of grouping medical facilities to make it possible to grasp sales by MR is heavy.

  Such a problem is not limited to the case where it is desired to grasp the sales by MR, but various cases where the technology described in Patent Document 1 cannot be used as it is (for example, the case where it is desired to grasp the sales according to the establishment year of the medical facility). May occur.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a condition, and it aims at providing the technique which reduces the burden of the grouping operation | work of a medical facility.

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides master facility information including a facility code for identifying each of the first plurality of medical facilities and location information indicating the location of each of the first plurality of medical facilities. For generating a brick including a predetermined number of medical facilities, a facility code for identifying each of the second plurality of medical facilities, and the second plurality of medical facilities By obtaining MR territory information including MR codes identifying MRs in charge of each facility, and grouping the second plurality of medical facilities for each MR in charge based on the MR territory information Generating means for generating a plurality of first bricks each including a medical facility handled by the same MR, and including less than the predetermined number of the medical facilities among the first plurality of bricks. A first processing means for detecting a brick that is not present, the first processing means obtains the master facility information, and based on the master facility information, is a medical facility with no MR in charge and detects the master facility information. A medical facility corresponding to the location of the medical facility included in the brick is detected, and the detected medical facility is added to the detected brick so that the detected brick includes the predetermined number or more of medical facilities. The brick production | generation apparatus characterized by these is provided.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical scope of the present invention is determined by the claims, and is not limited by the following individual embodiments. In addition, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the present invention.

  In the following embodiment, for a system (hereinafter referred to as a “statistical data providing system”) that creates statistical data related to sales of various medicines to a medical facility and provides it to a customer (typically a pharmaceutical company), An apparatus for performing a grouping operation of medical facilities (hereinafter referred to as “brick generation apparatus”) will be described. The medical facility grouping is performed based on which MR is in charge of each medical facility, but the present invention is not limited to the case of using this standard. Information indicating which MR is in charge of each medical facility is hereinafter referred to as “MR territory information”.

  In addition, although a group of medical facilities does not necessarily correspond to a specific geographical area (brick), for convenience, a group of medical facilities is referred to as a “brick” and grouping medical facilities is referred to as “brick. It may also be said to generate. The statistical data providing system of the present embodiment has a requirement that each brick must include a predetermined number or more of medical facilities (hereinafter referred to as “facility number requirement”). Here, it is assumed that the predetermined number is 5. The statistical data providing system of the present embodiment also has a requirement that the same medical facility should not belong to a plurality of bricks (hereinafter referred to as “one facility and one brick requirement”).

  In the present embodiment, the brick generation device generates a brick based on MR territory information indicating which MR is in charge of which medical facility. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of MR territory information. MR territory information is typically created by a customer, but is not limited to this. The MR territory information includes a plurality of entries, and each entry includes at least information for identifying MR (MR code) and information for identifying a medical facility (customer facility code, DCF code, or master facility code). In FIG. 1, the entry numbers in the leftmost column are shown for convenience of explanation, and need not be included in the MR territory information.

  The MR code is a code defined by the customer for identifying each MR. The customer facility code is a code defined by the customer for identifying each medical facility, and a different code may be assigned to each customer even in the same medical facility. The DCF code is a code defined by Nippon Altmark Co., Ltd. for identifying each medical facility. The master facility code is a code for identifying each medical facility in the statistical data providing system. Strictly speaking, when the medical facility is a pharmacy instead of a hospital or clinic, a DSF code (a code defined by Nippon Altmark Co., Ltd. for identifying a pharmacy) is used instead of the DCF code. However, since the basic concept is the same, in this embodiment, a case where a DCF code is used will be described.

  In the statistical data providing system of this embodiment, sales data that is the basis of statistical data provided to customers is managed in units of medical facilities identified by the master facility code, and bricks are identified by the master facility code. Defined as a group of medical facilities. Therefore, in order to generate a brick, a master facility code is finally required. On the other hand, when a customer creates MR territory information, in general, a customer facility code defined by the customer himself or a widely spread DCF code is more convenient for the customer. Therefore, the MR territory information only needs to include at least one of a customer facility code, a DCF code, and a master facility code as information for identifying a medical facility. When the MR territory information does not include the master facility code, the brick generation device converts the customer facility code or the DCF code into the master facility code according to the conversion table.

  The customer facility code, DCF code, and master facility code do not always correspond one-to-one. For example, when a plurality of organizations (for example, xx center and △△ center) exist in a specific hospital (XX hospital), the customer assigns different customer facility codes to these multiple organizations and treats them as different medical facilities. It may be. On the other hand, only one master facility code is allocated for the entire hospital, and these multiple organizations may not be distinguished. In such a case, in the finally generated brick, these multiple tissues are treated as a single medical facility.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, an MR having an MR code of “1000000001” (hereinafter referred to as “MR1”) is in charge of 11 facilities and has an MR code of “1000000002” (hereinafter referred to as “MR2”). Called) is in charge of 4 facilities. An MR having an MR code of “1000000003” (hereinafter referred to as “MR3”) is responsible for 6 facilities, and an MR code having an MR code of “1000000004” (hereinafter referred to as “MR4”) is 6 facilities. Is in charge. If the facilities in charge for each MR are compiled as bricks, the following problems arise.
(1) When there is an MR with the number of facilities in charge less than 5 like MR2, a brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement occurs.
(2) When there is an MR in charge of many medical facilities like MR1, the sales of many medical facilities are aggregated into one brick, and the usefulness of statistical data is reduced.
(3) As indicated by the entry numbers 16 and 22, the customer facility code “200000000000016” corresponds to a single medical facility having a master facility code “001000053”. Since this medical facility is handled by two MRs, MR3 and MR4, a brick that does not satisfy the one-facility-one-brick requirement occurs.
(4) As indicated by entry numbers 17 and 23, MR3 is in charge of a medical facility having a customer facility code “200000000000017” and a DCF code “8000017”. MR4 is in charge of a medical facility having a different customer facility code and DCF code ("200000000000022" and "8000022"). However, these codes correspond to the same master facility code (“001000313”) in the statistical data providing system and are treated as a single medical facility. Therefore, the brick which does not satisfy | fill one facility 1 brick requirement arises.
(5) When there is a medical facility that is not included in the MR territory information, a medical facility that is not included in any brick (hereinafter referred to as “unaffiliated facility”) occurs.

  The brick generation apparatus of the present embodiment generates a brick from MR territory information so as to at least partially solve these five problems. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the brick generation apparatus 200, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of brick generation processing executed by the brick generation apparatus 200.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the brick generation apparatus 200 includes an MR territory information acquisition unit 201, a facility code conversion unit 202, a 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203, an initial brick generation unit 204, and a facility number requirement processing unit. 205, a brick dividing unit 206, a CPU 211, a recording medium 212, a ROM 213, a RAM 214, and a network medium I / F 215.

  The brick generation device 200 can be implemented by, for example, a Windows (registered trademark) server, the recording medium 212 is, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), and the network I / F 215 is, for example, a LAN port. The ROM 213 stores firmware for controlling the brick generation apparatus 200, and the recording medium 212 stores an OS and an application program for implementing brick generation processing. The functions of the units 201 to 206 are implemented, for example, when the CPU 211 loads an application program stored in the recording medium 212 to the RAM 214 and executes it.

  The recording medium 212 also stores master facility information managed by the statistical data providing system. The master facility information includes all master facility codes managed by the statistical data providing system and location information (for example, JIS11 code) indicating the location of the medical facility corresponding to each master facility code.

  The brick generation process will be described with reference to FIGS. When the customer prepares the MR territory information, the customer stores the MR territory information in the web storage in advance. Thereafter, in S 301, the MR territory information acquisition unit 201 acquires MR territory information from the web storage through the network I / F 215 and stores it in the recording medium 212. In the following description, it is assumed that the acquired MR territory information includes the MR code and the customer facility code shown in FIG. 1, but does not include the DCF code and the master facility code.

  In S302, the facility code conversion unit 202 converts the customer facility code of the MR territory information into a master facility code according to the conversion table. The conversion table may be stored in advance in the recording medium 212, or the facility code conversion unit 202 may acquire it from the web storage. As an example, the recording medium 212 stores two conversion tables: a customer facility code to DCF code conversion table and a DCF code to master facility code conversion table. In this case, the facility code conversion unit 202 first converts the customer facility code into a DCF code, and then converts the DCF code into a master facility code. As a result, the MR territory information stored in the recording medium 212 becomes MR territory information including a DCF code and a master facility code in addition to the MR code and customer facility code shown in FIG. Alternatively, if the MR territory information includes the address of the medical facility, it is possible to directly convert the customer facility code into the master facility code by searching for the master facility code assigned to the medical facility corresponding to this address. It is.

  When the MR territory information acquired in S301 includes a DCF code instead of or in addition to the customer facility code, conversion from the customer facility code to the DCF code is unnecessary, and the facility code conversion unit 202 It is only necessary to convert the DCF code to the master facility code. Further, when the MR territory information acquired in S301 includes the master facility code from the beginning, the processing in S302 can be omitted.

  In S303, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 detects an entry (hereinafter, referred to as “facility overlap entry”) in which the master facility code is duplicated in the MR territory information. Then, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 selects one of the facility duplication entries and deletes the remaining one for each master facility code according to a predetermined standard.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process of S303. However, the selection criterion for the facility duplicate entry to be left in the MR territory information is not limited to that shown in FIG. 4, and any selection criterion may be used.

  In S401, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 detects a facility duplicate entry. In the example of FIG. 1, entry numbers 16 and 22 are detected as facility duplication entries for the master facility code “001000053”, and entry numbers 17 and 23 are detected as facility duplication entries for the master facility code “001000313”.

  In S <b> 402, the one-facility / one-brick requirement processing unit 203 acquires flag information associated with each entry of the MR territory information from the web storage through the network I / F 215 and stores the flag information in the recording medium 212. The flag information is supplementary information for each entry, but any information may be used as long as it is information that can be used to determine the priority between facility duplication entries. Here, the flag information corresponding to the entry numbers 16, 17, 22, and 23 is “1”, “1”, “2”, and “1”, respectively, and a smaller number indicates a higher priority. And

  In S403, the one-facility / one-brick requirement processing unit 203 compares the flag information between the duplicate facility entries for each master facility code, and when there is a difference in priority, selects an entry with a higher priority, Delete the entry. Specifically, for entry numbers 16 and 22 that are facility duplication entries for the master facility code “001000053”, the entry number 16 corresponding to the flag information “1” is selected, and the entry corresponding to the flag information “2” is selected. The number 22 is deleted. Further, entry numbers 17 and 23, which are facility duplication entries for the master facility code “001000313”, do nothing because the flag information is “1”. Although not shown, when there is another entry including the master facility code “001000313” and the corresponding flag information is “2”, the entry numbers 17 and 23 are selected and the flag information “2” is selected. Delete another corresponding entry.

  In S <b> 404, the one-facility / one-brick requirement processing unit 203 acquires representative DCF information from the recording medium 212. The representative DCF information is information indicating which DCF code is the representative DCF code when a plurality of DCF codes correspond to a single master facility code, and is stored in the recording medium 212 in advance.

  In S405, the one-facility / one-brick requirement processing unit 203 selects an entry including the representative DCF code from the facility duplication entries for each master facility code based on the representative DCF information, and deletes the other entries. Here, the two DCF codes “8000017” and “8000022” correspond to the master facility code “001000313”, but the representative DCF information indicates that “8000017” is the representative DCF code. In this case, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 selects the entry number 17 including the representative DCF code and deletes the entry number 23 for the entry numbers 17 and 23 which are the facility duplicate entries for the master facility code “001000313”. To do.

  In S406, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 compares the DCF codes between the facility overlap entries for each master facility code, selects an entry including the maximum DCF code, and deletes the other entries. In the present embodiment, as a result of the processing of S403 and S405, the facility duplication entry has been deleted except for one for each master facility code, so the processing of S406 is not performed. However, for example, when the representative DCF information is not available, the entry number 23 is not deleted in S405. Therefore, in S406, the 1 facility 1 brick requirement processing unit 203 compares the DCF codes of the entry numbers 17 and 23, The entry number 23 including the DCF code is selected, and the entry number 17 is deleted.

  As a result of the processing shown in FIG. 4, the MR territory information stored in the recording medium 212 is as shown in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in S304, the initial brick generation unit 204 generates a brick based on the MR territory information so that master facility codes corresponding to the same MR code belong to the same brick. Moreover, the initial brick production | generation part 204 produces | generates a brick from an unaffiliated institution according to a predetermined standard. The brick thus generated becomes the initial brick and is adjusted as necessary in the subsequent steps.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process of S304. However, the predetermined standard used when generating a brick from an unaffiliated facility is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6, and the brick may be generated based on any standard.

  In step S601, the initial brick generation unit 204 generates a brick based on the MR territory information so that the master facility code corresponding to the same MR code is included in the same brick.

  In step S602, the initial brick generation unit 204 detects an unaffiliated facility. Specifically, the initial brick generation unit 204 acquires master facility information from the recording medium 212. The initial brick generation unit 204 detects a master facility code that does not belong to any of the bricks generated in S601 among the master facility codes included in the acquired master facility information. The master facility code detected here corresponds to an unaffiliated facility.

  In step S603, the initial brick generation unit 204 generates a brick from an unaffiliated facility according to a predetermined standard. For example, the initial brick generation unit 204 generates a brick by grouping each unaffiliated facility according to the prefecture of the location. Instead of grouping by prefecture, for example, grouping by municipality, or all unaffiliated facilities may belong to a single brick (national brick).

  As a result of the processing shown in FIG. 6, the brick shown in FIG. 7 is generated. The generated brick is stored in the recording medium 212 in a data format (hereinafter referred to as “brick data”) as a set of entries including a brick code and a master facility code, for example, as shown in FIG. Each entry of brick data may also include an MR code. In addition, the code system of the brick code can be arbitrarily defined.

  In step S601, the initial brick generation unit 204 may regard the MR territory information shown in FIG. 5 as the brick data as it is, instead of generating brick data in the data format shown in FIG. In this case, in the subsequent processing, entry numbers 1 to 11 in FIG. 5 are regarded as MR1 bricks, entry numbers 12 to 15 are regarded as MR2 bricks, and so on. Thus, in this embodiment, since medical facilities included in MR territory information are grouped by MR, MR territory information itself can be regarded as brick data without performing a process of giving a brick code. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a brick is generated based on the MR territory information, it is included in the MR territory information in the subsequent processing without performing a specific data operation based on the MR territory information. Considering a medical facility as a brick by MR is also included in the process of generating a brick. In this case, in the subsequent processing, the medical facility included in the MR territory information is regarded as a brick for each MR. For example, in S806 described later, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 sets the entry numbers 24 to 27 in FIG. The MR2 brick and the MR4 brick can be combined by changing the MR code to “1000000002” or adding marks indicating the connection to the entry numbers 12-15 and 24-27. Therefore, for example, when the facility number requirement processing unit 205 says to process a brick, it not only processes the brick data as shown in FIG. 7 but also MR territory information considered to define the brick. Processing is also included in processing the brick. For example, in S603, a brick can be generated from an unaffiliated facility by adding an entry including a dummy MR code corresponding to each prefecture and an unaffiliated facility to the MR territory information.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in S305, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 adjusts the brick generated in S304 so that all bricks satisfy the facility number requirement. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process of S305. However, the adjustment method of the brick is not limited to that shown in FIG. 8, and any adjustment may be performed.

  In step S801, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 detects a brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement (a brick having a medical facility number less than 5). In the example of FIG. 7, MR2 brick and MR4 brick are detected. MR4 was originally in charge of six facilities, but as a result of the entry numbers 22 and 23 being deleted in S303, the number of MR4 brick facilities is four.

  In step S <b> 802, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 determines whether the parameter indicating the brick adjustment method indicates “compensation”, “combination”, or “prefectural aggregation”. The parameters are described, for example, in a parameter file prepared by the customer. In this case, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 acquires the parameter file from the web storage through the network I / F 215, for example. Alternatively, a graphical user interface (GUI) for selecting a parameter is displayed on a display (not shown) by an application program that implements the brick generation process of FIG. 3, and the operator of the brick generation apparatus 200 sets the parameter via this GUI. You may choose. If the parameter is “compensation”, the process proceeds to S803.

  In step S803, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 detects a representative prefecture of the brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement. Specifically, for example, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 acquires master facility information from the recording medium 212, confirms the location of each medical facility included in the brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement, and selects the most prefectures. Let it be the representative prefecture of the brick.

  In step S <b> 804, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 moves the medical facilities corresponding to the shortage from the brick corresponding to the representative prefecture of the brick for the brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement. For example, when the representative prefecture of the MR2 brick is Okinawa, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 moves one medical facility from the Okinawa brick shown in FIG. 7 to the MR2 brick.

  When the parameter is “combined” in S802, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 detects the representative prefecture in S805 as in S803.

  In step S <b> 806, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 combines common bricks that do not satisfy the facility number requirement with the representative prefectures. For example, when the representative prefectures of MR2 brick and MR4 brick are both Okinawa, MR2 brick and MR4 brick are combined.

  If the parameter is “prefectural aggregation” in S802, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 acquires the master facility information from the recording medium 212 in S807, and the location of each medical facility included in the brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement Confirm.

  In step S808, the facility number requirement processing unit 205 moves each medical facility included in the brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement to the brick corresponding to the prefecture of the location. For example, if the locations of the four medical facilities included in MR2 Brick are Fukuoka, Kagoshima, Okinawa and Okinawa, these medical facilities are Fukuoka Brick (not shown), Kagoshima Brick (not shown), Okinawa Brick and Okinawa, respectively. Moved to brick.

  Note that the processing of S803 to S808 may be performed at a level other than the prefectural level, for example, at the municipality level. When processing is performed at the municipal level, for example, in S804, a nearby medical facility can be added to a brick that does not satisfy the facility number requirement.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in S306, the brick dividing unit 206 divides a brick having 10 or more affiliated facilities. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process of S306. However, the brick dividing method is not limited to that shown in FIG. 9, and the dividing may be performed by any method.

  In step S901, the brick dividing unit 206 detects a brick having 10 or more affiliated facilities. In the example of FIG. 7, the MR1 brick is detected. The prefectural brick may or may not be divided.

  In step S <b> 902, the brick dividing unit 206 determines whether the parameter indicating the brick dividing method indicates “equal division” or “minimum unit division”. The parameters are described, for example, in a parameter file prepared by the customer. In this case, the brick dividing unit 206 acquires the parameter file from the web storage through the network I / F 215, for example. Alternatively, a graphical user interface (GUI) for selecting a parameter is displayed on a display (not shown) by an application program that implements the brick generation process of FIG. 3, and the operator of the brick generation apparatus 200 sets the parameter via this GUI. You may choose. If the parameter is “Equal Division”, the process proceeds to S903.

  In S903, the brick division unit 206 acquires master facility information from the recording medium 212, and the medical facility included in the division target brick is assigned a JIS11 code, a DCF code, and a master facility code as a first sort key, a second sort key, Sort as the third sort key.

  In step S904, the brick dividing unit 206 divides the division target brick in a range in which all the divided bricks satisfy the minimum facility number requirement in accordance with the sorted order. For example, the MR1 brick in FIG. 7 is divided into a brick including five facilities arranged in order from the top after sorting and a brick including the remaining six facilities. For example, when the division target brick includes 12 facilities, it is divided into 6 facilities.

  If the parameter is “minimum unit division” in S902, in S905, the brick division unit 206 performs sorting in the same manner as in S903.

  In step S <b> 906, the brick dividing unit 206 divides the sorted medical facilities by five facilities arranged in order from the top. However, if the remaining medical facilities are less than 10 to satisfy the minimum facility number requirement, no further division is performed. For example, when the division target brick includes 17 facilities, the division is divided into 5 facilities, 5 facilities, and 7 facilities.

  This is the end of the brick generation process of FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the brick generation apparatus 200 generates a brick based on the MR territory information. In that case, the brick production | generation apparatus 200 adjusts a brick so that the requirements for the number of facilities etc. may be satisfied according to various criteria. Thereby, the burden of grouping work (brick generation work) of medical facilities is reduced.
