  • Patent number: 11948669
    Abstract: A medical information management apparatus has processing circuitry configured to search medical information in a storage, when accepting a search request of the medical information including a key being an item of information regarding a patient and a value being contents of the key, and extract the medical information matching a search condition as condition-matched medical information; extract the key and the value from the condition-matched medical information, calculate a matching rate being a proportion of the value included in the condition-matched medical information to the entire medical information in the storage, and determine that the value is idiosyncratic information when the matching rate is equal to or less than a threshold set with respect to the key; and determine whether the key of the value determined to include the idiosyncratic information corresponds to an essential key which is essential in terms of a purpose of utilization.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8233750
    Abstract: Enhanced image data is stored, and medical image data contained in the enhanced image data and a screen for creating an interpretation report are displayed on a monitor. In response to a linking operation, link data containing image specification information specifying medical image data to link in the enhanced image data is generated and included into data of the interpretation report. In response to an operation of requesting linked medical image, based on the link data, medical image data indicated by the image specification information within the enhanced image data is specified from the enhanced image data, and the specified medical image data is outputted to a requesting destination of the linked medical image. Thus, a link can be set to medical image data that is one data element within enhanced image data, and only a linked data row can be extracted and read from the enhanced image data.
