  • Patent number: 8768721
    Abstract: The examination schedule memory unit stores an examination schedule including the starting time and the ending time of each examination. A cleaning capacity memory unit stores cleaning-capacity information that specifies the cleaning capacity of cleaning apparatuses that clean a scope used for the examination. A cleaning schedule generation unit generates a cleaning schedule for cleaning a used scope produced at the end of each examination with cleaning apparatuses having a cleaning capacity required by the cleaning-capacity information stored in the cleaning capacity memory unit. The scope shortage determination unit determines whether or not there will be a shortage of scopes to be used for each examination in accordance with both the examination starting time specified by the above examination schedule and the cleaning ending time specified by the cleaning schedule.

  • Publication number: 20070016453
    Abstract: In a medical information management system, an electronic pen acquires medical information data inputted in handwriting onto a form. A graphic identification unit identifies a graphic area defined by a graphic represented by graphic data contained in the medical information, based on the acquired medical information data. A comment area identification unit identifies a comment area located in a predetermined position relative to the identified graphic area. A comment data identification unit identifies comment data inputted in handwriting to the comment area, among the acquired medical information data. A storage unit stores the acquired medical information data and the identified comment data in a manner that associates the acquired medical information data with the identified comment data.

  • Publication number: 20040078241
    Abstract: An observation display unit displays observations on an examination result. In response to the display of the observations by the observation display unit, a treatment information input request notification unit issues a notification of a request to input treatment information about the treatment relating to the observation. Upon receipt of the above-mentioned notification, a treatment information obtaining unit obtains input treatment information. A storage unit associates observation information about the observation with the above-mentioned treatment information, and stores it.
