Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a team medical support system.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, when medical treatment is performed on a patient at a medical institution, there is an increasing interest in team medical care in which medical professionals who are experts in various fields form a team. When team medical care is performed, medical information about a patient that has been around for each individual medical worker can be shared among the team members constituting the team. If medical information about a patient can be sufficiently shared among team members, the patient's condition can be grasped more accurately and a better treatment policy can be formulated. It is also possible to reflect not only medical information but also the experience and knowledge of each individual team member.

  From the viewpoint of sharing medical information so far, for example, a paper medical record is associated with an electronic medical record (see Patent Document 1 below), or an electronic medical record is associated with event information of a patient or a medical worker in creating a critical path. A method has been adopted in which the two are linked (see Patent Document 2 below).

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the team medical support system S in the embodiment. The team medical support system S includes a meeting support device 1, a portable information terminal 2 possessed by each team member, and a modality 3 that provides various medical information related to a patient. The meeting support device 1, the portable information terminal 2, and the modality 3 are all connected to the communication network N so that medical information can be exchanged between the devices.

  The team medical support system S may be configured as an independent system, for example, a hospital information management system (HIS), a radiology information management system (RIS), a medical image management system. All or some of various management systems built in a medical institution such as a system (PACS: Picture Archiving Communication System) may be configured.

  The meeting support apparatus 1 is an apparatus used when a team member who performs team medical care conducts a meeting in order to formulate the current state of a patient, a treatment policy, and the like. Although a specific configuration will be described later, it has functions such as provision of materials necessary for a team member to hold a meeting and acquisition and storage of information relating to materials accessed by the team member as a log.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the meeting support apparatus 1 is configured as an “apparatus” that supports such a meeting, but may be configured as the above-described PACS, for example. In that case, for example, the display unit 1g, which will be described later, serves as a display device, so that each unit constitutes a PACS as an individual device having the respective functions.

  The portable information terminal 2 is a terminal owned and used by team members participating in the meeting. Team members hold a meeting while viewing medical information such as images related to a patient displayed on the display unit 1g constituting the meeting support apparatus 1 described later. In addition, medical information that the team member thinks is necessary can be called and referred to via the portable information terminal 2 at hand as appropriate.

  In addition, although a tablet, a smart phone, etc. can be considered as the portable information terminal 2, for example, a notebook type personal computer may be used. In addition, although a “mobile” information terminal is used here, it may be an “information terminal”. Furthermore, a sketch may be written based on an image (medical information) displayed on the screen.

  The modality 3 is a medical image acquisition (imaging) device that images a patient and acquires its internal information. As the modality 3, for example, an X-ray CT apparatus (computed tomography), a magnetic resonance diagnostic apparatus (MRI), an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, or the like is applicable.

  The communication network N connects the meeting support apparatus 1, the portable information terminal 2, and the modality 3, and enables exchange of medical information such as an image related to a patient between each other. Examples of the communication network N include a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and the Internet. The communication standard used in the communication network N may be any standard such as DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine).

  In the team medical support system S shown in FIG. 1, the communication network N includes one meeting support device 1 and portable information terminals 2A and 2B (hereinafter, a plurality of portable information terminals are collectively referred to as “portable information terminal 2”. And one modality 3 is connected. However, the number of meeting support devices, portable information terminals, or modalities connected to the communication network N may be singular or plural, and the number is arbitrary.

  In addition, the meeting support device 1, the portable information terminal 2, and the modality 3 connected to the communication network N may not be provided in one medical institution, for example. For example, a form in which a team member is in another facility and uses the portable information terminal 2 and information such as a communication history of medical information displayed on the portable information terminal 2 is collected in the meeting support apparatus 1 via the Internet or the like. Is also possible.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the meeting support apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In the meeting support device 1, a central processing unit (CPU) 1a, a read only memory (ROM) 1b, a random access memory (RAM) 1c, and an input / output interface 1d are connected via a bus 1e. The input / output interface 1d includes an input unit 1f, a display unit 1g, a communication control unit 1h, a storage unit 1i, a log acquisition unit 10, a meeting material storage unit 20, a shared reference image search unit 30, and an attention An image analysis unit 40 and a best practice unit 50 are connected.

  The CPU 1a reads and executes a boot program for starting the meeting support apparatus 1 from the ROM 1b based on an input signal from the input unit 1f, and reads various operating systems stored in the storage unit 1i.

  The CPU 1a controls various devices based on input signals from other external devices not shown in FIG. 2 via the input unit 1f and the input / output interface 1d. Further, the CPU 1a reads out the program and data stored in the RAM 1c, the storage unit 1i, etc. and loads them into the RAM 1c. Based on the command of the program read out from the RAM 1c, the CPU 1a performs processing for displaying images and data in the meeting. It is a processing device that implements a series of processing such as calculation and processing.

  The input unit 1f is configured by an input device such as a keyboard and a dial for an operator (for example, a doctor or a laboratory technician) of the meeting support apparatus 1 to input various operations, and receives an input signal based on the operation of the operator. It is created and transmitted to the CPU 1a via the bus 1e.

  The display unit 1g is a liquid crystal display, for example. The display unit 1g receives an output signal from the CPU 1a via the bus 1e and, for example, an image necessary for setting a condition when a processing request for a certain image is made to the meeting support apparatus 1, or a processing result of the CPU 1a. Is displayed.

  The communication control unit 1h is a unit such as a LAN card or a modem, and is a unit that enables the meeting support apparatus 1 to be connected to a communication network N such as the Internet or a LAN. Data transmitted / received to / from the communication network N via the communication control unit 1h is transmitted / received as an input signal or an output signal to / from the CPU 1a via the input / output interface 1d and the bus 1e.

  The storage unit 1i is composed of a semiconductor or a magnetic disk, and stores programs and data executed by the CPU 1a.

  The log acquisition unit 10 acquires a log related to medical information used when a team member performs a meeting using the meeting support apparatus 1. The log acquired here is, for example, not only related to the information on the image displayed on the display unit 1g described above, but also communication information accessed by the portable information terminal 2 used by the team member, information about the acquired medical information, and the like. , All logs relating to medical information exchanged during the meeting via the communication network N are included.

  The meeting material storage unit 20 stores all of the medical information shown in the meeting, such as logs acquired by the log acquisition unit 10 and materials used in the meeting. When stored, for example, it is associated with a “conference ID” assigned to each meeting. In addition, operations performed by team members are collectively stored as an “operation log”. In addition, although the example which provided the meeting material storage part 20 as a part provided with the function which memorize | stores the medical information shown by the meeting was demonstrated here, for example, these medical information is collectively memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 1i. You may make it.

  The shared reference image search unit 30 searches for an image (medical information) stored in the meeting material storage unit 20 based on a request from a team member. The flow of image search using the shared reference image search unit 30 will be described later.

  The attention image analysis unit 40 analyzes and extracts an image noticed by a team member during the meeting. Various medical information is provided and considered during the meeting, and an image with a high degree of attention is extracted from the medical information. Further, for example, it is possible to analyze and extract which region of the image displayed on the display unit 1g the team member has focused on. Thereby, the comment and knowledge with respect to the extracted image can be used, for example, in the formulation of a future treatment policy, or can be used when a meeting is held regarding other patients with the same disease.

  The best practice unit 50 adopts the image extracted by the attention image analysis unit 40 as “best practice”. The image adopted as the best practice is used, for example, when a meeting about another patient is held.

  Next, the function of the team medical support system S will be described along the flow of the meeting in which team members participate. In the following, the flow of medical information for moving each device according to the general flow of the meeting will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the following meeting flow, in order to explain more concretely, for example, assume that a radiology doctor who is a team member gives explanations to doctors and engineers of other departments in the team. I will explain.

  FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram illustrating a flow of medical information exchanged between devices included in the team medical support system S when the team medical support system S according to the embodiment is used. In the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 3, the flow of medical information transmitted between the display unit 1 g of the meeting support apparatus 1, the log acquisition unit 10, the meeting material storage unit 20, and the portable information terminal 2 is shown. .

  First, when the meeting is started, the radiology team member displays other images on the display unit 1g for reference to the other team members when formulating a treatment policy for the patient (ST1). However, the image displayed here may be any image. First, for example, information related to the patient may be displayed so that the team member can grasp the patient who is the subject of the meeting. If a radiology doctor displays, an image obtained by imaging the target patient using, for example, an X-ray CT apparatus is displayed.

  For the information related to the image (medical information) displayed on the display unit 1g, a log indicating the displayed record is acquired and transmitted from the display unit 1g to the log acquisition unit 10 (ST2). The information transmitted as the log may be, for example, an identifier for identifying an image added to the displayed image, information indicating the displayed date, and the like. Note that the content of the log to be transmitted to the log acquisition unit 10 can be set in advance.

  During the meeting, the display unit 1g displays medical information (images) displayed by the radiology team member and viewed by all other team members or desired by the team members. On the other hand, each team member has a portable information terminal 2 that can be used by an individual. As described above, the portable information terminal 2 is, for example, a tablet. Even during the meeting, the team members can take in and view the information they care about as they go along with the progress of the meeting (ST3).

  For example, a certain team member can draw a sketch in which an image displayed by a radiology team member displayed on the display unit 1g is taken and a circle or mark is added to an area of interest. A sketch drawn on paper can be read by a camera and displayed on the screen of the portable information terminal 2. In addition to the image displayed on the display unit 1g, an image related to the target patient acquired in the previous examination can be displayed on the portable information terminal 2 as a reference image. Furthermore, reports on patient illnesses and interpretation reports can be viewed. In addition, the contents displayed on the hand (your own portable information terminal 2) by the team member, the processed information, etc. are transmitted from the portable information terminal 2 to a large screen (display unit 1g). The information can be shared.

  Various medical information such as images and reports displayed on the portable information terminal 2 possessed by the team member, information such as communication history when connecting to the communication network N in order to display these information on the portable information terminal 2, The log is transmitted to the log acquisition unit 10 (ST4).

  In this way, the log acquisition unit 10 acquires various information displayed or acquired in the meeting as a log (ST5). Then, the information acquired as a log is transmitted to and stored in the meeting material storage unit 20 (ST6).

  By doing so, it is possible to grasp all information used in the meeting. Therefore, for example, when accessing various information used in the meeting later, necessary information can be acquired by issuing a request to that effect to the meeting material storage unit 20.

  Next, mainly using the sequence diagram of FIG. 4, a flow in which a team member searches for an image using his / her portable information terminal 2 during a meeting will be described. Note that the image searched here is already stored in the meeting material storage unit 20 as described above, and can be used by all team members or some of the team members specified in the disclosure range. Since it is an image, it is hereinafter referred to as a “shared reference image”.

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are sequence diagrams illustrating a flow when acquiring necessary information using the shared reference image search unit 30 according to the embodiment. When searching for an image that a team member wants to refer to during a meeting, if the shared reference image can be accessed directly, no particularly complicated processing is required. For example, the identifier added to the shared reference image to be searched is known, and the search is performed by directly inputting the identifier.

  However, the memory of the team member who performs the search is usually ambiguous, and it is often considered that the shared reference image to be searched cannot be reached directly. Therefore, here, for example, a case where a team member (Doctor A) wants an image (shared reference image) explained by Dr. B at a meeting held in August 2012 is given as an example. I will explain.

  First, Doctor A inputs search conditions for the shared reference image (ST11). However, in such a case, the search condition input to the portable information terminal 2 must be ambiguous. For example, Doctor A inputs phrases such as “August 2012”, “Meeting”, and “Doctor B” as search conditions. The portable information terminal 2 to which the condition has been input transmits a search request to the shared reference image search unit 30 of the meeting support apparatus 1 (ST12). The shared reference image search unit 30 grasps the content (search condition) of the received search request (ST13), and actually starts the search.

  The shared reference image search unit 30 searches the meeting material storage unit 20 for a log that matches the grasped search condition (ST14). Therefore, the shared reference image search unit 30 accesses the meeting material storage unit 20 and searches for operation logs and position logs including search conditions (ST15).

  Here, the meeting material storage unit 20 searches the operation log and the position log including the search conditions “August 2012”, “meeting”, and “Doctor B” as described above. The meeting material storage unit 20 collects all the logs related to medical information displayed in the meetings held so far and the communication history performed by the portable information terminal 2 possessed by the team member via the log acquisition unit 10. doing. Accordingly, the meeting material storage unit 20 searches the stored operation log and position log, and transmits the search result to the shared reference image search unit 30 (ST16).

  The shared reference image search unit 30 receives the operation log and the position log including the search conditions transmitted from the meeting material storage unit 20 (ST17), and generates a list of shared reference images to be searched for based on these logs. Create (ST18).

  In this example, “create a list” is used, but this is considered to be used to narrow down the shared reference images that are actually required in future processing. Therefore, the shared reference image corresponding to the search request may be specified without creating a list.

  The list creation using the operation log and the position log will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of an operation log used when obtaining medical information required by a team member. FIG. 7 illustrates a position used when obtaining medical information required by a team member. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of a log.

  Here, the “operation log” is, as described above, via the log acquisition unit 10 when the meeting support apparatus 1 or the portable information terminal 2 is operated by a team member participating in the meeting. It is a log acquired.

  On the other hand, the “position log” is a log indicating where the team member was. In order to detect and store this position log, for example, the team member himself / herself may grasp the ID by reading the detection device, or by measuring the position of the portable information terminal 2 possessed by the team member. It is also possible to grasp the positions of team members. Furthermore, the position of a team member can also be grasped | ascertained by detecting the team member who is near each other using near field communication (NFC). Therefore, acquisition of the log indicating the position of the team member can be performed by using a known technique.

  FIG. 6 showing an example of the operation log shows five items. From the left, “Day”, “Time”, “Image ID”, “User”, and “Room”. Among these, “Image ID” indicates an identifier (ID) added to an image (medical information) used by a doctor or the like who is “User”. “Room” indicates the conference room where the meeting is held.

  Note that the items shown in the logs shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 are for explanation only, and the items set as the log are not limited to these items.

  According to FIG. 6, from this operation log, on August 16, 2012, two users (B and D) in the conference room A101, the image “img001” at 10:15 and “ It can be seen that the image “img005” is displayed. However, it is not clear from this operation log whether the meeting is in the same conference room but the same team member.

  FIG. 7 showing an example of the position log shows five items. From the left, “Day”, “Entry time”, “Exit time”, “User”, and “Room”. Among these, “room entry time” or “leaving time” indicates the time when the team member who is “User” enters the conference room where the meeting is held or the time when the user leaves the room.

  According to the position log in FIG. 7, it can be seen that the user “B” enters the conference room A101 where the meeting was held at “8:55” and leaves at “12:05”. Therefore, it can be seen that “B” participates in the meeting from before 9 o'clock to past 12 o'clock and stays in the same room. On the other hand, although “A” entered the same conference room A101 at 10:00, it can be understood from the position log that the user has left the room in 20 minutes.

  By the way, the premise here is that, as described above, Dr. A who is a team member wants an image (shared reference image) explained by Dr. B at the meeting held in August 2012. Is.

  According to the operation log and the position log shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the doctor A requesting the image participates in the meeting held in the conference room A101 on August 16, 2012. Shows that Dr. B is also participating. However, it can be seen that Dr. B has participated longer in the meeting, and Dr. A has participated only for a short time. Therefore, it can be presumed that the image used in the explanation of Doctor B requested by Doctor A is the shared reference image displayed in the meeting.

  Upon confirming the operation log, Dr. B displays a shared reference image having an ID of “img001” at least at 10:15 in the meeting. This time is the time during which the doctor A participates in the meeting (the time in which the doctor A is present in the conference room A101). Therefore, there is a high possibility that the shared reference image is an image requested by the doctor A. However, although not shown in the operation log in FIG. 6, there is a possibility that a shared reference image is also displayed. Therefore, the shared reference image search unit 30 extracts and lists the shared reference images displayed by the doctor B in the meeting.

  As described above, for the team members who directly participate in the meeting, for example, the shared reference image can be extracted by using the position log shown in FIG. However, for example, even when there is a team member who has joined the meeting from a remote location via the communication network N, the shared reference image can be extracted in the same manner.

  FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show an example of a log used when explaining search for a shared reference image when a team member joins a meeting from a remote location. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a communication log used when obtaining medical information required by a team member. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a position log used when obtaining medical information required by a team member.

  Looking at the communication log shown in FIG. 8, there are also five items in this log. There are five “Day”, “Start Time”, “End Time”, “Conference ID”, and “Room”, and “Day” indicates the date on which the meeting was held. “Start time” and “End time” are the start and end times of the meeting, and “Conference ID” is an ID that is an identifier added to the meeting. “Room” indicates the place (conference room) where the meeting is held.

  If the communication log of FIG. 8 is seen, it will be divided into two columns and two meetings will be shown. However, a meeting is held at the same time on the same day, and the same conference ID is assigned to each meeting. Therefore, it can be seen that the meetings divided and shown in these two columns are the same meeting. “Room” is indicated as “A101” and “interpretation center”. From now on, where team members are actually gathering in the conference room and a meeting is being held, a team member who cannot directly participate in the meeting in the conference room A101 joins from the “Interpretation Center” which is another place. I can read that

  Looking at the location log shown in FIG. 9, the items shown are the same as the location log shown in FIG. The same applies to the position logs of B and A by the user. On the other hand, the position log regarding C and D participating in the meeting from the interpretation center is newly shown. From the position log in FIG. 9, it can be seen that C and D who participated from the interpretation center participated in this meeting from 8:50 to 12:10.

  Therefore, by using the communication log, the position log, and the operation log, for example, “August 2012”, “Meeting”, “B” If "doctor" is entered, necessary images (medical information) can be obtained in the same manner as requested by doctor A who directly participated in the meeting.

  As described above, the shared reference image search unit 30 makes a list of shared reference images requested for reference using various logs, and further, based on the list created by the shared reference image search unit 30. Further, the shared reference images to be requested are narrowed down from the search conditions (ST19 in FIG. 5). We will not explain in detail the method of narrowing down here, but refer to the specificity of the illness, such as cases that require attention (useful cases for reference) and cases with many bookmarks, or meetings. It may be possible to refer to incidental information related to a meeting such as a change in treatment policy.

  The shared reference image search unit 30 specifies the shared reference image requested by the doctor A by narrowing down (ST20). Then, the meeting material storage unit 20 is requested to obtain (search) the specified shared reference image, and the meeting material storage unit 20 transmits the acquired shared reference image to the shared reference image retrieval unit 30. (ST21 and ST22).

  The shared reference image search unit 30 obtains the shared reference image transmitted from the meeting material storage unit 20 and responds to the portable information terminal 2 (the portable information terminal 2 owned by the doctor A) who has issued the original search request. The shared reference image is transmitted (ST22).

  In the portable information terminal 2 that has received the shared reference image (ST23), the shared reference image is displayed (ST24). Thereby, Dr. A can acquire a shared reference image that matches the request that “I want the image (shared reference image) explained by Dr. B at the meeting held in August 2012”. it can.

  So far, the description has been given of searching for images (medical information) necessary for the portable information terminal 2 possessed by the team member and displaying them as a shared reference image. However, in addition to this, the team member can also display an image attracting attention on the portable information terminal 2.

  For example, the attention image analysis unit 40 in the meeting support apparatus 1 can extract an image with a high degree of attention from the images used in previous meetings stored in the meeting material storage unit 20. For example, from the above-described operation log, it can be determined that an image having a long display time in the meeting has a high degree of attention. Further, the image displayed by the team member on the portable information terminal 2 may be bookmarked as an image of interest, but the degree of attention can be analyzed based on the number of bookmarks.

  Furthermore, for example, when displayed on the display unit 1g of the meeting support device 1, the locus of the pointer moved with the mouse, the history of the enlarged display, or the team member who uses this also in the portable information terminal 2 It is also possible to extract a region of interest in the image of interest further by tracking the line of sight.

  The attention image analysis unit 40 extracts an image having a high degree of attention in this way and stores it in the meeting material storage unit 20, for example. If such a preparation is made, then, for example, a team member can search as a shared reference image, or it will appear in the identifier in the future based on an identifier added to a high-profile image. It is also possible to shoot in the modality 3 with certain shooting conditions.

  Furthermore, among the images extracted by the attention image analysis unit 40, an image having a high degree of attention exceeding a certain threshold can be disclosed as a best practice inside or outside the medical institution. In the meeting support apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the best practice unit 50 fulfills this function. That is, by publishing an image with a particularly high degree of attention as a best practice, a medical worker can see and refer to the published image of the best practice.

  Furthermore, the best practice unit 50 can not only set an image with a particularly high degree of attention as a best practice, but can also combine a sketch drawn on the image as a best practice. This sketch is, for example, drawn by a team member based on the image on his / her portable information terminal 2 while participating in a meeting, or a sketch drawn on paper taken into the portable information terminal 2. Yes, the experience and knowledge of the team members have appeared.

  Accordingly, by storing the sketch acquired from the portable information terminal 2 via the log acquisition unit 10 in combination with the base image in the meeting material storage unit 20, for example, the best practice unit 50 can also integrate the sketch. It can be handled as information.

  Furthermore, by storing an image and a sketch related to the image in combination as described above, it is possible to search a stored sketch based on a newly drawn sketch. In this case, for example, first, a team member sketches on the portable information terminal 2. Based on this sketch, for example, a sketch stored in the meeting material storage unit 20 is searched using a pattern matching technique. By performing this search, an image stored in combination with the sketch can also be searched. In this way, even when searching for an image, although there are conditions, the image itself can be searched from the sketch through the sketch stored in combination with the image.

  As described above, the team medical support system S, the portable information terminal 2, and the modality 3 or each part in the meeting support device 1 that are part of the team medical support system S are organically linked to each other, thereby enabling team medical care. In doing so, it is possible to provide a team medical support system capable of sufficiently sharing medical information among team members.

  Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described, this embodiment is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. This embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. This embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
