Abstract: The medical chart management system reads the paper medical charts made in the medical facilities with scanners installed in the medical facilities, converts them into image data and stores them in a paper medical chart information DB of a management server corresponding to the medical facilities. To search for image data including a certain medical term from the paper medical chart information DB, the management server obtains patterns for search which is a representation used in recording a medical term in a medical chart to be retrieved and which is inputted by hand with a pen tablet from the each medical facility and performs matching between the patters for search obtained and the image data on the paper charts stored in the paper medical chart information DB corresponding to the medical facilities at which the patterns for search are inputted.
