CLINICAL PATHWAY MANAGEMENT DEVICE

摘要

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. Thereafter, a degree of influence, which is obtained by numerically expressing an extent of change made according to each of the plans of change, of each of the plans of change is calculated. Then, the clinical pathway is changed according to a plan of change with a minimal degree of influence.

主权项

1. A clinical pathway management device comprising:
a database storing a plurality of clinical pathways showing treatment plans for each patient and schedule data showing operation schedules of hospital resources including at least either human resources or material resources that are assigned to each treatment in each of the clinical pathways; a reception portion receiving a request for change that requires the change of at least either content of the treatment in the clinical pathways or date and time of performing the treatment in the clinical pathways; an overlap determination portion determining whether or not there is an overlap between the hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in a clinical pathway as a target of change and the hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in other clinical pathways different from the clinical pathway as the target of change in a case where the clinical pathway as the target of change is changed according to the request for change; a change plan generation portion generating, in a case where there is an overlap, plural kinds of plans of change for avoiding the overlap by changing at least either the clinical pathway as the target of change or other clinical pathways; an influence degree calculation portion calculating a degree of influence showing an extent of change made according to each of the plural kinds of plans of change; and a clinical pathway changing portion changing the clinical pathways, wherein in a case where there is no overlap described above, the clinical pathway changing portion changes the clinical pathways according to the request for change, and in a case where there is the overlap, the clinical pathway changing portion changes the clinical pathways according to a plan of change determined based on the degree of influence.
