Abstract

A medical information processing device of an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a first attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient and which is a plurality of attribute factors at a first timing. The processing circuitry estimates a second attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors at a second timing after the first timing on the basis of the first attribute factor group. The processing circuitry outputs information including the first attribute factor group and the second attribute factor group via an output interface.

Claims (50)

1 . A medical information processing device comprising:

acquiring, by processing circuitry, a first attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient and which is a plurality of attribute factors at a first timing;

estimating, by the processing circuitry, a second attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors at a second timing after the first timing on the basis of the first attribute factor group; and

outputting, by the processing circuitry, information including the first attribute factor group and the second attribute factor group via an output interface.

2 . The medical information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the second timing is a timing after disease treatment was performed on the target patient.

3 . The medical information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the treatment on the target patient is decided on the basis of treatment results of other patient groups suffering from the same disease as the target patient.

4 . The medical information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the treatment on the target patient is decided on the basis of treatment results of other patients whose previous treatment outcomes were improved among the other patient groups.

5 . The medical information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processing circuitry stratifies the other patient groups into a plurality of groups on the basis of outcomes of the other patient groups suffering from the same disease as the target patient and calculates an attribute distribution quantitatively expressing an attribute factor group which is the plurality of attribute factors of each group, and

wherein the processing circuitry extracts a related attribute factor that is an attribute factor having a higher degree of influence on at least one of selection of a disease treatment method and improvement of the outcome than the other attribute factors from among the attribute factor groups on the basis of a result of comparing a first attribute distribution that is the attribute distribution of a first group with a second attribute distribution that is the attribute distribution of a second group having a better outcome than the first group.

6 . The medical information processing device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first attribute factor group includes a control factor that is the attribute factor capable of being controlled by the target patient and a non-control factor that is the attribute factor incapable of being controlled by the target patient, and

wherein the processing circuitry calculates a third attribute distribution that is the attribute distribution of the target patient and estimates the second attribute factor group on the basis of the first attribute factor group in which the control factor is adjusted so that the third attribute distribution is close to the second attribute distribution.

7 . A medical information processing device comprising:

acquiring, by processing circuitry, a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient;

identifying, by the processing circuitry, a related attribute factor that is an attribute factor highly relevant to the disease among the plurality of attribute factors; and

outputting, by the processing circuitry, information based on the related attribute factor via an output interface.

8 . The medical information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry identifies an attribute factor having a higher degree of influence on at least one of selection of a disease treatment method and improvement of the outcome of the target patient than the other attribute factors as the related attribute factor.

9 . The medical information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry

compares each of the plurality of attribute factors with a reference value defined by a guideline or evidence, and

identifies the attribute factor having deviation from the reference value greater than or equal to a threshold value as the related attribute factor among the plurality of attribute factors.

10 . The medical information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry

compares each of the plurality of attribute factors with a second attribute factor that is the attribute factor of another patient group having an improved outcome, and

identifies the attribute factor having deviation from the second attribute factor greater than or equal to a threshold value among the plurality of attribute factors as the related attribute factor.

11 . The medical information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry estimates an outcome of the target patient on the basis of the attribute factor of the target patient.

12 . The medical information processing device according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry

calculates a first distribution quantitatively expressing an attribute factor of the target patient,

calculates a second distribution quantitatively expressing an attribute factor of each of a plurality of groups stratified from the other patient group on the basis of outcomes of other patient groups that were previously treated, and

estimates an outcome of the target patient on the basis of a result of comparing the first distribution with the second distribution.

13 . The medical information processing device according to claim 12 ,

wherein the outcome includes a treatment fee of a treatment method scheduled to be applied to the target patient, and

wherein the processing circuitry

determines whether or not the treatment fee estimated as the outcome of the target patient is within a range of an insured amount, and

outputs the outcome of the target patient and the treatment method scheduled to be applied to the target patient via the output interface when the treatment fee is within the range of the insured amount.

14 . A medical information processing method using a computer, the medical information processing method comprising:

acquiring a first attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient and which is a plurality of attribute factors at a first timing;

estimating a second attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors at a second timing after the first timing on the basis of the first attribute factor group; and

outputting information including the first attribute factor group and the second attribute factor group via an output interface.

15 . A medical information processing method using a computer, the medical information processing method comprising:

acquiring a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient;

identifying a related attribute factor that is an attribute factor highly relevant to the disease among the plurality of attribute factors; and

outputting information based on the related attribute factor via an output interface.

16 . A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to:

acquire a first attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient and which is a plurality of attribute factors at a first timing;

estimate a second attribute factor group which is a plurality of attribute factors at a second timing after the first timing on the basis of the first attribute factor group; and

output information including the first attribute factor group and the second attribute factor group via an output interface.

17 . A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to:

acquire a plurality of attribute factors relating to a disease of a target patient;

identify a related attribute factor that is an attribute factor highly relevant to the disease among the plurality of attribute factors; and

output information based on the related attribute factor via an output interface.
