  • Publication number: 20200185111
    Abstract: An implementation information storage stores implementation information of an examination performed by a doctor. A standard range setting unit sets a standard range for implementation information of an examination based on implementation information according to a skilled doctor stored in the implementation information storage. An implementation information acquisition unit acquires implementation information of an examination performed or being performed by a resident doctor. When the implementation information according to the resident doctor falls outside the standard range set by the standard range setting unit, an examination determination unit determines that the examination performed by the resident doctor is not performed properly. A notification processing unit gives notification regarding implementation information of an examination determined not to be performed properly.
