Abstract

A medical information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to acquire status information indicating a status of a plurality of medical devices connected to each other via a network and/or a status around the plurality of medical devices, generate, based on the status information, operation information indicating an operation to be performed on the medical device, and control a display unit so as to display the generated operation information.

Claims (26)

1 . A medical information processing apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

acquire status information indicating a status of a plurality of medical devices connected to each other via a network and/or a status around the plurality of medical devices;

generate, based on the status information, operation information indicating an operation to be performed on the medical device; and

control a display unit so as to display the generated operation information.

2 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

generate, when there are a plurality of the operations to be performed on the plurality of medical devices, a plurality of pieces of the operation information based on the status information, in which each of the pieces of the operation information is generated for a corresponding one of the operations; and

control the display unit so as to display the plurality of pieces of operation information side by side on a time axis.

3 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to control the display unit so as to display the plurality of pieces of operation information side by side in a timeline.

4 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to control the display unit so as to display, on the timeline, information for identifying a medical process being executed.

5 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

acquire workflow information indicating a plurality of medical processes executed in parallel in the plurality of medical devices; and

generate, based on the workflow information and the status information, the operation information.

6 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the respective medical processes of a plurality of workflows executed in parallel by the plurality of medical devices have different display modes depending on a type of the medical process and/or a status of the medical process.

7 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the display unit to display, for each of the plurality of medical devices, a remaining time or an elapsed time of a process being executed or a time until a start of a process scheduled to be executed by the medical device.

8 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to display, on the display unit, a device screen or an external image of each of the medical devices in association with each of the medical devices displayed in an operation order.

9 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to display, on the display unit, a device screen of a medical device currently being operated among the plurality of medical devices.

10 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to display, on the display unit, an execution status of a workflow for each of the plurality of medical devices.

11 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the execution status includes progress information indicating a process being executed by the plurality of medical devices.

12 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the execution status includes interruption risk information indicating a risk of interruption of a medical process being executed.

13 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the execution status includes biological information of a patient.

14 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display unit is a display provided in at least one of a terminal for operating the plurality of medical devices, a portable information terminal of an operator who operates the plurality of medical devices, the medical device, or a room having the medical device installed therein.

15 . A medical information processing method comprising:

acquiring status information indicating a status of a plurality of medical devices connected to each other via a network and/or a status around the plurality of medical devices;

generating, based on the status information, operation information indicating an operation to be performed on the medical device; and

controlling a display unit so as to display the generated operation information.
