(One embodiment)
<Configuration example>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of an electronic medical record system according to an embodiment.

The electronic medical record system 10 includes a data editing device 100 and an electronic medical record management device 200.

The data editing device 100 is a device for displaying, inputting, and editing electronic medical records, and includes a display control section 101, an input control section 102, and an input support section 103.

The display control unit 101 controls the display of electronic medical records on an output device such as a liquid crystal monitor. Electronic medical records are data written in a markup language such as HTML or XHTML (eXtensible HTML). That is, the display control unit 101 displays the result of interpreting the markup language of the electronic medical record. Note that the electronic medical record may be any data that includes metadata, and is not limited to data written in a markup language. Note that details of the display control unit 101 will be described later.

The input control unit 102 controls the input of characters into the electronic medical record. For example, the input control unit 102 reflects characters input by a user through an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse on the electronic medical record. The user is, for example, a medical professional such as a doctor or a nurse. Note that "characters" in this embodiment also include numbers and symbols. Note that the input control unit 102 controls not only the input of characters but also the input of images (for example, illustrations and photographs) to the electronic medical record. Note that details of the input control unit 102 will be described later.

The input support unit 103 cooperates with the display control unit 101 and the input control unit 102 to support input and editing to the electronic medical record. For example, the input support unit 103 provides the input control unit 102 with a list of input candidates. The user can easily input standard sentences into the electronic medical record by selecting input candidates from the provided list. Further, for example, the input support unit 103 determines whether or not the characters input into the electronic medical record are appropriate. For example, when a character associated with body temperature is input, the input support unit 103 determines whether the input character is a numerical value. This can prevent erroneous input into the electronic medical record. Note that details of the input support unit 103 will be described later.

The electronic medical record management device 200 is a device for managing electronic medical records and medical information generated from the electronic medical records, and includes an electronic medical record management section 201 and a medical information management section 202.

The electronic medical record management unit 201 manages electronic medical records. The data editing device 100 described above inputs and edits electronic medical records managed by the electronic medical record management section 201.

The medical information management unit 202 interprets the electronic medical record managed by the electronic medical record management unit 201, generates medical information, and manages it as a database. For example, the medical information management unit 202 generates medical information by interpreting the contents of the elements based on the elements and attributes of the markup language that describes the electronic medical record, and generates medical information. Manage as. This allows the user to search and analyze the medical information managed by the medical information management unit 202 from various viewpoints.

<Example of electronic medical record configuration>
An example of the structure of electronic medical record data will be described with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic medical record 300 is written in, for example, HTML or XHTML.

The electronic medical record 300 has a class element 400 that indicates the classification of items to be entered in the medical record. Class element 400 includes at least one child element. In this embodiment, child elements included in class element 400 are referred to as "item elements" 500. Note that the class element 400 may be referred to as a "parent element."

First, the item element 500 will be explained. The item element 500 has a data-region attribute that indicates the field of content of the item element 500. For example, one of the following is set in the data-region attribute.
・“label” indicating that the content of the item element 500 is the name of the item
・“text” indicating that the content of the item element 500 is characters corresponding to the above item
・“term” indicating that the content of item element 500 is in units of the above characters

Hereinafter, the item element 500 with the data-region attribute "label" will be referred to as a "label element" 501, the item element 500 with the data-region attribute "text" will be referred to as a "text element" 502, and the item element 500 with the data-region attribute "term" will be referred to as a "text element" 502. The item element 500 is called a "unit element" 503. Further, the content of the label element 501 is called a "data item," the content of the text element 502 is called a "data value," and the content of the unit element 503 is called a "data unit." Note that the label element 501, text element 502, and unit element 503 are examples of a first element, a second element, and a third element, respectively.

Next, the class element 400 will be explained. The class element 400 has a data-class attribute indicating the classification of the class, a data-type attribute indicating the type of the item element 500 included in the class element 400, and the contents of the text element 502 included in the class element 400 (that is, the data value ) has a data-edittype attribute that indicates the type.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the data-class attribute includes chief-complaint, beginning-period, body-temperature, blood pressure, etc., which are entered in the electronic medical record 300. The item is set.

For example, one of the following is set in the data-type attribute.
- “Item” indicating that the class element 400 includes a single item element 500
- "ItemSet" indicating that the class element 400 includes multiple "Items" as a set
・"Field" indicating that the contents of the class element 400 can be edited freely

In editing, "Item", "ItemSet", and "Filed" cannot be added to the class element 400 with the data-type attribute "Item". Although a plurality of "Items" can be defined in the class element 400 with the data-type attribute "ItemSet", "Item", "ItemSet", and "Field" cannot be additionally inserted during editing. In editing, class elements 400 with data-type attributes "Item" and "ItemSet" can be additionally inserted into the class element 400 with data-type attribute "Filed".

For example, one of the following is set in the data-edittype attribute.
・"text" indicating that the data value is a character
・“list” indicating that the data value is a selection from a list
・"number" indicating that the data value is a number

The item elements 500 included in the class element 400 may be determined in advance for each data-class attribute of the class element 400.

For example, the class element 400A with the data-class attribute "chief-complaint" shown in FIG. 2A includes the following label element 501A, text element 502A, and unit element 503A.
・Label element 501A having the data item “main complaint:”
-Text element 502A having the data value "I feel tired"
・Unit element 503A whose data unit is NULL

For example, the class element 400B with the data-class attribute "beginning-period" shown in FIG. 2A includes the following label element 501B, text element 502B, and unit element 503A.
・Label element 501B having the data item “time:”
-Text element 502B having the data value "Since when?"
・Unit element 503B whose data unit is NULL

For example, a class element 400C with a data-class attribute "body-temperature" shown in FIG. 2A includes the following label element 501C, text element 502C, and unit element 503C.
・Label element 501C having the data item “body temperature:”
-Text element 502C with data value "38.5"
・Unit element 503C with data unit "℃"

For example, the class element 400D with the data-class attribute "bloodpressure" shown in FIG. 2B includes the following label element 501D, text element 502D, and unit element 503D.
-Label element 501D having the data item "Blood pressure:"
- Text element 502D having a set of systolic blood pressure class element 400E and diastolic blood pressure class element 400F
・Unit element 503D having data value “mmHg”
In this way, when the class element 400D has the data-type attribute "ItemSet", the item element 500 can include the class elements 400E and 400F with the data-type attribute "Item".

<Displaying and editing electronic medical records>
3A to 3D show display examples of the electronic medical record 300A.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the display control unit 101 interprets the elements of the electronic medical record 300A shown in FIG. 2, and displays the results in the editing area 600A. For example, the display control unit 101 displays the content (data item) of the label element 501, the content (data value) of the text element 502, and the content (data unit) of the unit element 503 in the electronic medical record 300A in the editing area 600A. do.

<<Display control>>
The label element 501 and the unit element 503 may have a style attribute indicating the display mode of the contents of the element. If the style attribute of the label element 501 or unit element 503 is set to "display:none" indicating that the content of the element is not displayed, the display control unit 101 displays a blank space 615 instead of the content of the element. do. Note that in FIGS. 3A to 3D, 4B, and 5B, the blank space 615 is represented by a rectangular dotted line for the sake of explanation, but this rectangular dotted line is not actually displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, a style attribute "display:none" is set for a label element 501E having a data item "systolic blood pressure:" and a unit element 503E having a data unit "mmHg". . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A, the display control unit 101 displays a blank 615A instead of displaying the data item "systolic blood pressure:" and displays a blank 615B instead of the data unit "mmHg".

The blank space 615 may be a full-width blank character or a half-width blank character. Alternatively, the blank space 615 may be a blank character whose width is narrower than a half-width blank character. A blank character whose width is narrower than a half-width blank character is, for example, Unicode THIN SPACE (U+2009) or HAIR SPACE (U+200A). In this way, by using narrow spaces, the electronic medical record 300 can be displayed and printed in a layout that is almost the same as when characters of data items or data units are completely hidden.

Furthermore, the display and non-display of data items and data units may be switchable. For example, when the user moves the cursor 610A to the display range of the data unit "°C" and performs a hide operation, the display control unit 101 displays the data unit "°C" as shown in the editing area 600B of FIG. 3B. ” may be replaced with a blank 615C. In this case, the input control unit 102 may set "display:none" to the style attribute of the unit element 503C included in the class element 400C with the data-class attribute "body temperature".

＜＜List display＞＞
When the cursor is located in the display range of data values included in the class element 400 with the data-edittype attribute "list", the input control unit 102 includes a predetermined input candidate that is previously associated with the data-class attribute. View list.

For example, as shown in the editing area 600C of FIG. 3C, the cursor is placed in the display range "Since when?" of the data value included in the class element 400 having the data-class attribute "beginning-period" and the data-edittype attribute "list". is located, the input control unit 102 performs the following process. That is, the input control unit 102 displays a list 620 that includes a plurality of input candidates that are associated in advance with the data-class attribute "beginning-period." Here, if the user selects the input candidate "Since last night" 621 from this list 620, the input control unit 102 changes the data value "Since when?" to this input candidate, as shown in the editing area 600D of FIG. 3C. Change the selected "From last night". This allows the user to quickly input standard data values according to the data-class attribute.

Note that the list 620 may include an option 622 for free input. If the option 622 for performing free input is selected, the input control unit 102 accepts free input for data values.

＜＜Displaying the editing range＞＞
The display control unit 101 may display the range of editable characters and the range of non-editable characters in different manners. For example, as shown in an editing area 600E in FIG. 3D, the display control unit 101 displays the background of a display range 631 of non-editable characters (for example, the display range of data items and data units) in gray, and The display range of characters (for example, the display range of data values) is displayed in a manner different from the gray background. This allows the user to recognize at a glance which range of characters can be edited.

Further, the display control unit 101 may display the display range of the data value in a different manner for each data-edittype attribute. For example, as shown in the editing area 600E of FIG. 3D, the display control unit 101 displays the background of the display range 632 of data values associated with the data-edittype attribute "list" in vertical stripes. The display control unit 101 displays a display range 633 of data values associated with the data-edittype attribute "text" surrounded by a dotted line. The display control unit 101 displays a display range 634 of data values associated with the data-edittype attribute "number" surrounded by a solid line. This allows the user to easily recognize how to edit data values.

However, the display mode shown in FIG. 3D is an example. For example, the display control unit 101 may display the background of a character in a different color depending on whether it is editable or not and for each data-edittype attribute. Further, the above display may be switched on/off by a user's operation.

<<Input control>>
An example of controlling character input to the cursor position will be described with reference to the electronic medical record 300B shown in FIG. 4A and the display example of the electronic medical record 300B shown in FIG. 4B.

The input control unit 102 provides, for example, a button (not shown) corresponding to the data-class attribute of the class element 400. In this case, the input control unit 102 specifies the data-class attribute corresponding to the button pressed by the user, and displays the contents of each item element 500 predefined for the specified data-class attribute in the editing area 600. to be displayed. This reduces the effort required to input routine items into the electronic medical record 300.

The input control unit 102 displays a cursor 610B indicating the input position in the editing area 600F. The input control unit 102 may not accept or discard input for the data item and data unit when the cursor is located within the display range of the data item and within the display range of the data unit. On the other hand, the input control unit 102 may accept character input when the cursor is located within the data value display range.

Here, if the cursor 610B is located at the boundary between the data item and the data value, in a general HTML editor, the input character will be included in the data item that is the content of the element before the cursor 610 position. It gets lost. In contrast, input control unit 102 in this embodiment includes the input character in the data value when cursor 610B is located at the boundary between the data item and the data value. Furthermore, the input control unit 102 includes the input character in the data value even when the cursor 610C is located at the boundary between the data value and the data unit (not displayed in FIG. 4B). That is, the input control unit 102 includes the boundary between the data value and the data unit within the display range of the data value.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, if the cursor 610B is positioned at the boundary between the data item "Visual acuity:" and the data value "1.0" and a character is input, the input control unit 102 is included in the data value "1.0". Thereby, characters input at the boundary between a data item and a data value can be appropriately associated with the text element 502G instead of the label element 501G.

When the cursor 610B is located at the boundary between the data value "1.0" and the blank space 615D corresponding to the data unit and a character is input, the input control unit 102 converts the input character to the data value "1.0". Include in When the cursor 610D is located at the boundary between the blank 615D corresponding to the data unit and the free input character "Deshita." and a character is input, the input control unit 102 converts the input character to the free input character. Include in By displaying the blank space 615D in this manner, the user can be made to recognize the element to which the character input at the cursor position is associated.

＜＜Text decoration＞＞
The input control unit 102 may accept character decorations. Character decorations include, for example, bold, italic, subscript, superscript, underline, color, and the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the user performs an underline decoration operation on the character string "MO: from last night" 641 displayed in the editing area 600G, the input control unit 102 Column "Mo: From last night" 641 is decorated by underlining it. In this case, the input control unit 102 may add an element indicating this decoration to the data of the electronic medical record 300C, as shown in FIG. 5C. Here, in a general HTML editor, when decorating a character string across multiple item elements, as shown in Figure 5B, an element indicating decoration (<u></u> tag in Figure 5B) also spans multiple item elements. In contrast, when decorating a character string across multiple item elements, the input control unit 102 according to the present embodiment displays the decoration within one item element, as shown in FIG. 5C. The electronic medical record 300C is corrected so that the element is closed.

<List display processing>
Next, an example of display processing for the list 620 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The input control unit 102 waits until the movement of the cursor 610 is detected (S101: NO), and when the movement of the cursor 610 is detected (S101: YES), the process proceeds to S102.

The input control unit 102 determines whether the cursor 610 is located within the data value display range (S102). Here, the input control unit 102 also determines that the cursor 610 is within the display range of the data value when the cursor 610 is located at the boundary between the data item and the data value. If the cursor 610 is not located within the data value display range (S102: NO), the input control unit 102 ends this process (END).

When the cursor 610 is located within the data value display range (S102: YES), the input control unit 102 generates event information (hereinafter referred to as "first event information") indicating that the cursor 610 is located within the data value display range. ) is notified to the input support unit 103 (S103). At this time, the input control unit 102 includes the data-class attribute and data-edittype attribute of the class element 400 that includes the data value in the first event information.

When receiving the first event information, the input support unit 103 identifies the data-edittype attribute included in the first event information (S104).

When the data-edittype attribute identified in S104 is “list”, the input support unit 103 inputs the list information previously associated with the data-class attribute included in the first event information to the input control unit 102. (S105).

The input control unit 102 displays the list 620 based on the notified list information (S106).

The user selects one input candidate from the displayed list 620 (S107).

The input control unit 102 inputs the selected input candidate as a data value (S108), and ends this process (END).

According to the above process, the user can easily input a typical sentence into the electronic medical record 300 by selecting an input candidate from the list 620.

<Data value inspection process>
Next, an example of an input data value inspection process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The input control unit 102 waits until the movement of the cursor 610 is detected (S201: NO), and when the movement of the cursor 610 is detected (S201: YES), the process proceeds to S202.

The input control unit 102 determines whether the cursor 610 has moved outside the data value display range (S202). Here, when the cursor 610 is located at the boundary between the data item and the data value, the input control unit 102 determines that the cursor 610 is within the display range of the data value. If the cursor 610 has not moved outside the data value display range (S202: NO), the input control unit 102 ends this process (END).

When the cursor 610 moves outside the data value display range (S202: YES), the input control unit 102 generates event information (hereinafter referred to as "second event information") indicating that the cursor 610 has moved outside the data value display range. ) is notified to the input support unit 103 (S203). At this time, the input control unit 102 includes the data-class attribute of the class element 400 that includes the data value and the data value in the second event information.

When receiving the second event information, the input support unit 103 examines the data value included in the second event information based on the data-class attribute included in the second event information (S204). For example, when the data-class attribute is "body temperature", the input support unit 103 checks that the data value is a numerical value and that the data value is within an appropriate range for body temperature.

The input support unit 103 determines whether the test result in S204 is OK or NG (S205). If the determination is OK (S205: OK), the input support unit 103 notifies the input control unit 102 that the test result of the data value is OK. The input control unit 102 that has received this notification determines this data value (S206), and ends this process (END).

On the other hand, if the determination is NG (S205: NG), the input support unit 103 displays an error message indicating that the input data value is inappropriate (S207). Then, the input support unit 103 notifies the input control unit 102 that the data value test result is NG. Upon receiving this notification, the input control unit 102 discards the input data value (that is, returns it to the original data value) (S208), and ends this process (END).

According to the process described above, it is possible to prevent the user from inputting incorrect data values into the electronic medical record 300.

<Displaying and editing images>
FIG. 8 shows an example of an electronic medical record 300D that displays images.

As shown in FIG. 8, the class element 400F for image display has an image ID in the data-class attribute and "picture" in the data-edittype attribute. Furthermore, the class element 400F for image display includes an image element 510. The class element 400 for image display does not have to include the label element 501, text element 502, and unit element 503 described above. Alternatively, the class element 400 for image display may include at least one of the label element 501, text element 502, and unit element 503 described above.

The image element 510 may have attributes indicating link information to an image file to be displayed, a method for displaying the image file, and the like.

Next, an example of image display and editing in the electronic medical record 300D will be described with reference to FIG.

The display control unit 101 analyzes the class element 400 for image display, and displays the image indicated by the image element 510 in the editing area 600 (S301).

When the input control unit 102 detects selection (click) of an image, it notifies the input support unit 103 of third event information indicating that the image has been selected (S302). At this time, the input control unit 102 includes the data-class attribute and the data-edittype attribute of the image display class element 400 and the link information of the image element to the image file in the third event information.

When the input support unit 103 receives the third event information, it notifies the predetermined image editing application 110 of the link information to the image file included in the third event information (S303).

The user edits the image displayed on the image editing application 110 (S304). When image editing is completed, the image editing application 110 notifies the input support unit 103 to that effect (S305).

When the input support unit 103 receives the editing completion notification from the image editing application 110, it instructs the display control unit 101 to update the display of the image file indicated by the image element 510 (S306).

When receiving the instruction in S306, the display control unit 101 updates the display of the image file (S307).

Through the above processing, the user can easily edit the image of the electronic medical record 300.

(Summary of this disclosure)
A data editing device 100 according to the present disclosure includes a display control section 101 and an input control section 102. The display control unit 101 displays the content of the label element 501 (first element) and the content of the text element 502 (second element) of the electronic medical record 300 (data) written in markup language. The input control unit 102 includes, in the content of the text element 502, characters input at the boundary between the content of the displayed label element 501 (first element) and the content of the text element 502 (second element).

According to this configuration, it is possible to appropriately associate input characters with elements in the markup language without displaying an input box. Therefore, it is possible to provide a data editing device 100 that has a high degree of freedom in input and can appropriately associate input characters with elements in a markup language.

Although the embodiments according to the present disclosure have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the functions of the data editing device 100 and the electronic medical record management device 200 described above can be realized by a computer program.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of a computer that implements the functions of each device using programs. This computer 2100 includes an input device 2101 such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch pad, an output device 2102 such as a display or speakers, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2103, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 2104, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 2105, A reading device 2107 that reads information from a storage device 2106 such as a hard disk device or an SSD (Solid State Drive), a recording medium such as a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read Only Memory) or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, and a network. It includes a communication device 2108 that performs communication, and each part is connected by a bus 2109.

Then, the reading device 2107 reads the program from the recording medium recording the program for realizing the functions of each of the above devices, and stores the program in the storage device 2106. Alternatively, the communication device 2108 communicates with a server device connected to the network, and causes the storage device 2106 to store programs downloaded from the server device to implement the functions of each device.

Then, the CPU 2103 copies the program stored in the storage device 2106 to the RAM 2105, and sequentially reads out and executes instructions included in the program from the RAM 2105, thereby realizing the functions of each of the above devices.

The present disclosure can be implemented with software, hardware, or software in conjunction with hardware.

Each functional block used in the description of the above embodiment is partially or entirely realized as an LSI that is an integrated circuit, and each process explained in the above embodiment is partially or entirely realized as an LSI, which is an integrated circuit. It may be controlled by one LSI or a combination of LSIs. The LSI may be composed of individual chips, or may be composed of a single chip that includes some or all of the functional blocks. The LSI may include data input and output. LSIs are sometimes called ICs, system LSIs, super LSIs, and ultra LSIs depending on the degree of integration.

The method of circuit integration is not limited to LSI, but may be implemented using a dedicated circuit, a general-purpose processor, or a dedicated processor. Furthermore, an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that can be programmed after the LSI is manufactured or a reconfigurable processor that can reconfigure the connections and settings of circuit cells inside the LSI may be used. The present disclosure may be implemented as digital or analog processing.

Furthermore, if an integrated circuit technology that replaces LSI emerges due to advancements in semiconductor technology or other derived technology, then of course the functional blocks may be integrated using that technology. Possibilities include the application of biotechnology.

One aspect of the present disclosure is useful for entering and editing metadata.
