Abstract: The clinical path management server has a clinical path database (CPDB), an access request reception unit, a determination unit, and a warning unit. The CPDB stores a clinical path, in which schedules and work results relating to a plurality of medical practices are recorded in time series, such that the clinical path can be searched. The access request reception unit receives an access request with respect to the clinical path, from the operator terminal. The determination unit determines the presence or absence of omission of input of work results of the past medical practices of which the input should be already completed at a point in time when the access request is received, when the access request is received. The warning unit issues a warning in a case where it is determined that there is omission of input.

Abstract: A clinical path approval unit extracts clinical paths for which a user has approval authority by referring to authority information of the clinical paths stored in a clinical path DB, and causes the user to select a clinical path to be approved from among the extracted clinical paths. If the clinical path to be approved is selected, information (digital signature) indicating that the clinical path is approved and a certificate for certificating that this approval has been made from a terminal of a user having approval authority are generated. The clinical path approval unit stores the digital signature or the certificate in association with the approved clinical path to update the clinical path DB.

Abstract: A medical assistance device creates a clinical path display screen in which clinical path information including a medical care schedule of a patient, and a graph and a table which are progress information, in which test values of a medical test are displayed along a time axis indicating test date and time of the medical test are displayed. A determination unit determines whether a latest test value of the medical test is within a normal range, sets a time scale for the progress information to a time scale longer than a test interval of the medical test in a case in which the latest test value is within the normal range, switches the progress information to a time scale in which the test interval can be displayed, and displays, on the clinical path display screen, the latest test value and the test value of a plurality of medical tests performed prior to acquisition of the latest test value in a case in which the latest test value is not within the normal range.

Abstract: In the clinical pathway management device, if a request for change that requires the change of the content of a clinical pathway is received, with reference to schedule data, it is determined whether or not there is an overlap between hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in a clinical pathway as a target of change and hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in other clinical pathways different from the clinical pathway as a target of change in a case where the clinical pathway is changed according to the request for change. In a case where there is no overlap, the clinical pathway is changed according to the request for change. In a case where there is an overlap because of the change of at least either the clinical pathway as a target of change or other clinical pathways described above, plural kinds of plans of change for avoiding the overlap are generated.

Abstract: A material search unit searches for an old medical material corresponding to a new medical material from a material correspondence information DB. A clinical path information search unit searches for clinical path information in which the new and old medical materials are used for medical care from the clinical path information DB, and a record information acquisition unit acquires the number of days of hospitalization indicating treatment effects of the new and old medical materials from the clinical path information which has been searched for.

Abstract: A request distribution unit, an SO acquisition request reception unit, a creation request issuance unit, and an authorization unit are added to the clinical-path management server. The request distribution unit distributes an SO acquisition request and an access request for access to a CP. The SO acquisition request reception unit receives an SO acquisition request from a patient terminal. The creation request issuance unit issues an SO creation request to an SO attending doctor responsible for an SO. When the creation request is issued, the authorization unit grants editing authority to edit the CP of the patient requesting the SO. The authorization unit grants editing authority by updating authority management information stored in an authority management information storage unit.

Abstract: An alarm notification apparatus includes an event detector for monitoring vital information of a body, such as a blood pressure and electrocardiogram, to check whether an anomalous event has occurred to the body. A reliability evaluator evaluates reliability of a result of detection of the anomalous event in the event detector. A notifier selects at least one addressee according to the reliability among plural predetermined addressees, and notifies the selected addressee of occurrence of the anomalous event. Preferably, a storage area is used for storing error log data expressing a false detection of an anomalous event in spite of non-occurrence of an anomalous event. Assuming that the event detector detects the anomalous event, the reliability evaluator obtains the reliability according to the error log data. Thus, it is possible to reduce influence of the false detection due to measurement artifact.
