Case database management system and method

摘要

A case database management system capable of maintaining high quality case information registered in a case DB. A user of the case database management system can not only refer to case information registered in the case DB by user terminals, but also evaluate the case information. The case DB server of the system collects evaluation information evaluated by the user for each case information item and assigns each case information item with an evaluation containing an evaluation point indicating usefulness of the case information. This enables the case database management system to register more highly evaluated (high quality) case information in the case DB and to provide the user with useful case information.

1. A case database management system which is connected to a plurality of user terminals via a network and allows the user terminals to refer to case information registered in a database in response to a request from the user terminals, the case database management system comprising:
a case information registration device which receives a plurality of case information items including the case information from the user terminals, and registers the plurality of case information items in the database, wherein the case information comprises a case image, that is a definitively diagnosed diagnostic image, and text-based diagnostic information corresponding to the case image; an evaluation information collection device which displays an evaluation input screen on the user terminal to request a plurality of users to evaluate the case information registered in the database and collects a plurality of pieces of evaluation information entered on the evaluation input screen; a case information evaluation device which automatically assigns the case information with an evaluation containing an evaluation point indicating usefulness of the case information based on the pieces of evaluation information about the case information collected by the evaluation information collection device; an output device which outputs the evaluation assigned to the case information by the case information evaluation device; and a device which receives information from a database manager to manually perform modification including deletion of the case information registered in the database in reference to the evaluation assigned to the case information outputted from the output device, wherein the evaluation includes an average value of evaluation points from the users who referred to the case information, further comprising: a register count management device which counts a number of the plurality of case information items registered within a predetermined period for a provider of the case information and manages the register count; and a provider evaluation device which evaluates the provider of the case information based on the managed register count and the evaluation of the case information corresponding to the register count provided by the case information evaluation device.
