Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a data output control method that efficiently transfers and outputs and displays data that has multiple items as elements and whose output items are variable, and is particularly applicable to clinical testing systems. In systems where there are many analysis items, such as analysis result data, and the analysis items to be executed for each sample are selected individually, it is possible to divide the output display format for each data item and give each one an index. This invention relates to a data output control method that improves the efficiency of data transfer and format editing processing by sending only necessary items along with their format indexes during data transfer.

[Technology background]

Hospitals and other medical institutions issue test requests specifying multiple different test items for blood, star, etc. samples from a large number of patients, and when test results are obtained, these results are returned to the test requester. A clinical testing system is used.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a general clinical testing system, in which 1 is a host computer of the clinical testing system, 2
3 is client work in the medical department, etc., 3 is reception work in the testing department,
4 represents reception input processing, 5 represents inspection processing, 6 represents report output processing regarding test results, and 7 represents other management data output processing.

In the request source task 2, a request form is created for each patient's specimen. The request form includes items such as patient number, name, department, and inpatient/outpatient information. In the reception task 3 of the testing department, a reception number is assigned to the received request form, and the requests are sorted into blood tests, recruitment tests, and other various testing departments. Note that the reception number is a sequential number.

In reception input processing 4, a large number of received request forms are input from the bootara terminal to the host computer, a worksheet is created that instructs the work procedure for each testing method such as testing equipment, and each sample is classified and processed for each worksheet. Organize into.

FIG. 2 is an example of such a work sheet, which is a work instruction sheet for a sample group for which biochemical tests regarding blood are to be performed. In the figure, 8BQ is the work order number for measuring the specimen, and the columns 1 to 20 following the reception number are for specifying the analysis items to be performed for each specimen.

Returning to FIG. 1 again, in test processing 5, samples are analyzed sequentially for each of the created analyzer-specific worksheets or manual worksheets for those analyzed without using an instrument, and the results are hosted. Transfer to computer 1. In the case of using an automatic analyzer, the test results are transferred and processed through a data collection device, and in the case of manual analysis, the test results are entered via a keyboard.

The host computer 1 matches the transferred test results with the request form data and performs the process of outputting the patient-specific information letter in step 6. Also, periodically prepare various statistics, daily reports, monthly reports, etc. The report created in this way is sent to the requester.

The items to be analyzed for each sample vary depending on the patient; for example, out of the 20 items illustrated in the worksheet in Figure 2, you can specify all items or just a few items. Not constant.

Conventionally, in such cases, after the analysis is completed, all items, including those that were not analyzed, are transferred from the automatic analyzer to the data collection device with a fixed data length, and the data collection device uses 20 Based on the print or Fi display format prepared in advance for each item, the next item is matched and the print or display formant of the corresponding item is controlled.

However, with this conventional method, the transferred data is not redundant, and even unanalyzed items are applied from the format side, so the ratio of the number of analyzed items is When the size is small, there is a disadvantage that storage and processing efficiency becomes low.

[Object and structure of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the efficiency of data transfer and output processing when the items that make up data are variable.For this purpose, the transferred data is made into a variable length format and the format is divided into items. , allowing it to be called from the data side.

The configuration of the present invention includes a first device that transfers data consisting of a plurality of arbitrarily selectable items, and a second device that receives and takes the transferred data, applies a predetermined format, and outputs the data. In a system equipped with the following equipment,
The first device has indexing means for providing a correspondence between each item of data and the format, and adds an index to only the selected item and transfers the data, and the second device has an index and its i It is characterized in that it has a means for making the data correspond to the second format, and edits and outputs the data by applying the format to each item of data transferred from the first device.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The details of the present invention will be explained below based on examples.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of one practical example system of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a host computer, 8 is an automatic analyzer, 9 is a data collection device, 10 is a specimen, 11 is a list of test items of a part of a worksheet, 12 is an analysis section, 13 is analysis result data, and 13α is Sample sequence number, 13b is reaction line number, 13c is item data, 14 is format number conversion table, 15 is transfer data, 16 is storage device, 17 is format table, 18 is printer, 19
indicates a display device.

The specimen 10 is blood, and the automatic analyzer 8 is a device that performs biochemical tests on the blood. Test item list 11 [, is a list that indicates test items for each sample order number NA, C
, GOT, GPT, and other inspection items.

When the specimen 10 passes through the reaction line, the analysis section 12
Analyze the specified inspection items. The analysis result data 13 is created for each sample sequence number 13a, and is composed of a combination of the reaction line number 13b and item data 13c for the designated test item.

When the analysis result data 13 is sent to the data collection device 9,
The data collection device has a format number conversion table 14
The reaction line number is converted into a formant number using , the data is stored in the storage device 16 as transfer data 15, other necessary processing is performed, and the data is transferred to the host computer (2).

The host computer 1 uses the format table 17 to extract format information corresponding to the formant number for each item of transfer data, and edits the format information to be output to the printer 18 or display device 19. The format information consists of the output position and item name of the test item data on the printing paper or display screen. Further, a plurality of types of format tables 17 can be prepared and selected according to the operation mode.

In this way, the transferred data for each sample sequence number has a variable length data structure consisting only of data related to the specified test items, compared to the conventional method where invalid data for items not subject to testing had to be sent as well. This reduces transfer time and also reduces the storage capacity required to store data. Further, since the format table] 7 is referred to only for valid data using the format number, processing time is shortened.

FIG. 4 shows an example of format control in the case of printer output, in which the data recording position on the print screen is indicated by column and position for each of the formant table 1714 and format number. There is. Transfer data 1
Each item in 5 is recorded at the designated position according to the format information in the format table 17 corresponding to the format number.
