Introduction
DoctorSoft (DRS), is a commercial medical information /
electronic medical record system, which allows users to record
medical information of patients. The DRS supports Microsoft
users. Then the data server of DRS selects the equipped M16
database, Microsoft SQL database, or Oracle database.
The
DRS system provides an interface of Component Object Model
(COM). You can use the interface to read and record the
information of DRS database, which can connect the third party
easily, such as image saving system, inspection system etc.
Product
Up
until now, DoctorSoft is the only system that covers clinics,
public hospital, and pharmacy in Japan. The DRS is a flexible
and multi-functioned product, and it’s designed to be used in
different occasions. Competitors have developed independent
systems for different medical related locations (public
hospital, clinic, pharmacy). In contrast, DRS provides a united
system, it can be used in various possibilities, resulting a low
cost product.
Through using
DRS, there are many diverse COM interface, and you can create
your unique electronic medical record system.
Yui
Software Limited is the only OEM company which provides
electronic medical record system in Japan. Also, our company is
the core structure of the major brands of electronic medical
systems Japanese market.
Doctorsoft, is a unified program that is suitable for every
occasions, which has massive sell of OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer); hence, DRS is the ideal inexpensive option.
Customizing
Running a hospital and making diagnosis is not a simple and
rigid work, they require professional and specific knowledge.
Each hospital has its own operating process, over various
educational institutions and actual experience to control work
procedures, description, organization, and assurance of message.
Thus, introducing electronic medical record system often
requires a specialized system. It is necessary to create
thousands of customized templates because there are many needs
to use different types of templates. Take a general hospital as
an example, the different templates are the operating template
during medical consultation, prescription template, nurses
follow doctors’ instruction template, etc. In addition, the DRS
is specified to different hospitals and doctors, these operation
template (MMI: Man-Machine Interface) are therefore unlike to
each other.
There are similar products that were created
by other competitors; those products are specific to each
hospital, department, or even the needs of the doctors. As a
result, the cost for developing such products increases.
On
the contrary, you can build your own electronic medical
interface template to satisfy the needs from different
departments, and even particular needs according to doctors’
work. There is no programming needed in order to build the
interface template. You can create a personal page that suits
you better which it can diminish the use of time and human
resources.
Instructions, Data,
and Viewing Structure
During the
medication, most instructions are given by doctors. Nurses,
inspection department, pharmacy department, department of
rehabilitation, and other departments follow doctors’
instruction to carry out their duties.
Most of the
systems on the market are very complex and expensive due to
having too many programs that have to suit each department,
doctors. Those programs are high-priced and complicated because
doctors send instructions to departments, then they interpret
those instructions following the departments’ manner. Hence
separate programs are created and became very costly. Also, if
the content or the process of instruction has to be changed, the
program would need to be renewed; in that case, the institution
will be spending more time and money.
As for DRS, the transmission of instruction
is very straightforward and adaptable: for the instruction is
part of the medical record.
Functions
The interface (MMI) in DRS gives access to a
variety of medical records. Although DRS does not include any
images of x-rays or
nuclear magnetic resonance, you can always
purchase a third-party software that provides the function. The
third party software can be connected to DRS using its COM, and
they still work as a unified program. Additionally, through the
interface of DRS, you can send the instructions of image check
to the third-party software.
Doctors can send instructions through their
interface to the nurses, and they receive information on their
interface. Doctors’ interfaces can be viewed by permitted nurses
as well.
Cooperation of
Multi Medical Institution
DRS is not restricted by location; the
program shares the medical records of a patient to a separate
medical institution.
By sharing the patients’ medical history,
most of the systems that are on the market now need to set up a
central database server to contain details. However, DRS has no
such a database. DRS comes with DRSCOSMOS (abbreviated as DCM)
that shares data of patients.
Mesh, a network that connects all the DRS
database server and clients together, is designed through
DRSCOSMOS (it is built by IPv6 and P2P). If you want to search
data of a specific patient from another hospital database, DCM
sends a query to all DRS computers. When the query is received
by the hospital’s DRS, it will search the database server and
reply the enquirer directly. The whole process of questioning
and replying only requires several seconds.
Enquirer receives the feedback through IPv6
which connects to the database server that contains the medical
records. Approval is needed for the enquirer to connect the
database. After the approval, the enquirer can use the system
freely.
Security
The function of DRSCOSMOS allows you to visit
the remote database directly. To protect and secure patient’s
information, it is necessary to confirm the user’s identity. DRS
has its own user authentication system, it is supported by an
international standard approved system, KERBEROS. It is a unit
of DRSCOSMOS and independent
certification system in WINDOWS.
Examples of
Different Functions
1.
The medical information work page
can be read as English, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages.
Name, address, past medication record, prescription, semiography
of the patient in different languages can be shown at the same
time.
2.
A dynamic template: You can
easily change the design of the template according to the
different departments in the hospital. As shown in the image
below, semiography, inspection, diagnosis and any other detailed
information are illustrated in the template. There are thousands
of individual templates currently operating in our clients’
company.
3. You can insert information voluntarily
into the template. The following images show you how to use the
table to insert symptoms information of a patient. You only have
to left click the selected box and it will appear related
options for you to choose. When you have completed the table, it
will show the selected items.
4. Specialized doctor diagnosis interface:
when writing a prescription, the doctor can refer to images,
blood tests, etc. On the screen instruction page, the ID of the
doctor, date and time of making instruction will be shown
automatically. If the instructions is undertook by the
associated department, the identity of the workers and the date
will be shown as well.
5.
Special treatment/inspection action interface: it processes
image analysis, blood test results, etc. The top image below
shows the blood test, and the bottom image shows imagery.
When the
associated department receives the task, the operatives use
their specialized templates to analyze the situation. The
templates show all the correspondent information to the
operatives to fit their needs.
6. DRS supports
functions like condition monitoring, inpatient, treatment
arrangement etc. You can check current condition of any patients
on any computers in the hospital, such as patients are in
medical consultation, patients wait to check in, patients are
checked in, patients completed treatment, etc. With the real
time information system, it speeds up the processes in the
hospital, and shortens the waiting time of patients; as a
result, the efficiency of the hospital accelerates.
7. A
straightforward history browser for prescription record,
inspection history, medical record, semiography etc. If
necessary, you can organize the information according to time,
so it makes it easier for you to read the past records.
