Description

  The present invention relates to a control method and apparatus for acquiring log data in a processing system in which a processing program is executed based on a user operation, and a computer program.

  Conventionally, in medical facilities such as hospitals and clinics, electronic medical chart systems in which medical charts created by doctors are digitized are used. According to the electronic medical record system, information such as a patient's medical history, medical history, and treatment content is recorded in the electronic medical record.

  In medical facilities, various systems such as an inspection system, a drug system, or an accounting system are operating in parallel. These multiple systems cooperate with each other to form a medical information system that performs a huge amount of data processing.

  In the electronic medical record system, when a system error, trouble, malfunction, or the like occurs, a log (system log) in which the processing history of the system is recorded is used for investigation of the cause and early recovery. The presence of logs is mainly because doctors refer to or record electronic medical records, and doctors are often busy dealing with patients, and in most cases they cannot hear in detail the situation at the time of the error. Precious.

  On the other hand, in order to lighten the operation of a system operating in a medical facility and to maintain high security, it is required to reduce the log output, that is, the log data amount as much as possible.

  However, when there are few logs, investigation becomes impossible or difficult when an error occurs. In addition, correcting the program so that a log is output each time an error occurs involves a great risk and requires a great amount of man-hours for investigating and recovering the cause.

  Conventionally, a technique for uploading appropriate operation result information at an appropriate timing has been proposed (Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, an operation log file of 3 or less of log levels 1 to 5 is written in a storage area as a normal log file, and is uploaded periodically (for example, every day) to a distribution host device. After uploading, the normal log file is deleted. Then, operation log files of all log levels are written in the storage area with priority as detailed log files.

In addition, a technique for acquiring a desired log without changing a business program installed in a computer has been proposed (Patent Document 2). Patent Document 2 includes a log rank setting table in which rank data is set for each type of log message data, and an output level setting table that variably stores an output target log level. When log message data is generated in the course of executing the business program, the rank of the log message data is acquired with reference to the log rank setting table. Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired rank is equal to or higher than the log level stored in the output level setting table. Only when the rank is equal to or higher than the log level, the log message data is output to the log output file.

  However, conventionally, it is not sufficient in that a log necessary for early recovery of an error is obtained with a small amount of data.

  In the electronic medical record system, when history information is always recorded as a log, system resources are compressed and a heavy load is imposed on the system. In addition, medical staff such as doctors and nurses who input data are directly confronted with human health and life, so they often contend for every second, and usually cooperate in investigating errors. Difficult to get.

  Also, after an error occurs, a log cannot be collected, and even if the error is recovered, it takes a lot of time to investigate the cause. Therefore, a mechanism that can easily and quickly find the cause of the error is required.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. In a processing system in which a processing program is executed, a control method and apparatus for acquiring log data effective for investigating the cause of an error with a small amount of data, and An object is to provide a computer program.

  According to the control method of the embodiment of the present invention, for a plurality of types of data processing executed in response to various operations, a log level corresponding to the magnitude of the influence of each data processing on the processing system is set. If an error occurs during the execution of a processing program based on an operation, it is retroactive to the range corresponding to the log level set for the type of data processing executed in response to the operation. Acquire log data and create a log file for analysis using the acquired log data.

  As a result, log data in the retroactive range corresponding to the magnitude of the influence on the system is acquired corresponding to the type of operation or processing at the time of occurrence of the error.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to acquire log data effective for investigating the cause of an error with a small amount of data in a processing system in which a processing program is executed.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a coefficient table KT, FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a retroactive range table ST, and FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating a log data acquisition control function in the electronic medical record system KS.

  In FIG. 1, a medical information system 1 includes an examination system server 3a, a medical accounting system server 3b, a drug system server 3c, an injection system server 3d, a radiation system server 3e, an electronic medical record system server 4, and a number of client terminals 5 (clients). Terminal 5a, 5b, 5c...

  These are connected to each other by a LAN (Local Area Network) 6. The LAN 6 is also connected to the Internet, and programs and data can be downloaded to those servers or terminals via the network.

  Note that all or part of the examination system server 3a, medical accounting system server 3b, drug system server 3c, injection system server 3d, radiation system server 3e, and electronic medical record system server 4 are designated as “server”, “server 3”, “server 4”. Or the like.

  Each of the servers 3 and 4 is configured by a computer system having a processing device, a storage device, a hard disk, an input device, an output device, a display device, a medium drive device, an interface device, a communication device, and the like. As the hardware configuration of the server 3 itself, a publicly known one can be used. In each of the servers 3 and 4, the processing device executes the computer program stored in the storage device, thereby realizing functions such as an inspection system, a medical accounting system, a drug system, an injection system, a radiation system, and an electronic medical record system. . Each system may be realized by one server, or one system may be realized by a plurality of servers. A plurality of systems may be realized by one server.

  The electronic medical record system server 4 includes a patient database 11, a medical record database 12, other databases, a processing unit for reading and writing data to and from these databases, a processing unit for realizing various functions of the electronic medical record system, and the like. A communication unit for transmitting / receiving data to / from the server or the client terminal 5 is provided. The electronic medical record system KS is configured by the electronic medical record system server 4 and the client terminal 5.

  The client terminal 5 is a kind of computer system, and is arranged in an examination room, examination room, pharmacy, office, reception, and other places. The client terminal 5 can access various servers and can operate as a client such as an examination system, a medical accounting system, a drug system, an injection system, a radiation system, or an electronic medical record system provided by the servers. A person who operates the client terminal 5 can use the functions of each system according to the authentication level. When the client terminal 5 uses server functions, they are used as “tools”. That is, the client terminal 5 uses a system constructed by each server as an inspection tool, a prescription tool, an injection tool, a radiation tool, and the like. Each of these tools is also subdivided into a plurality of tools. Details will be described later.

  In FIG. 2, the client terminal 5 includes a processing device 21, a keyboard 22, a mouse 23, a display 24, a scanner 25, a card reader 26, a printer 27, and the like. A biometric authentication device for login is provided as necessary. The processing device 21 is provided with a CPU 21a that performs arithmetic processing, a semiconductor memory 21b, a hard disk 21c, and the like. An analysis log file 46 to be described later is temporarily created in the semiconductor memory 21b. The created analysis log file 46 is stored in the hard disk 21c.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the client terminal 5 is provided with an electronic medical record client 31, a login tool 32, a prescription tool 33, an inspection tool 34, an injection tool 35, a patient list tool 36, and the like as functions of the electronic medical record system. . Each tool is provided with an input unit FN, a reference unit FS, a recording unit FK, and a check unit FC. These input unit FN, reference unit FS, recording unit FK, and check unit FC can also be referred to as input processing, reference processing, recording processing, and check processing, respectively.

  The electronic medical record client 31 includes a transmission / reception unit 41, a check logic 42, a log data acquisition unit 43, a log level table 44, a correction coefficient table 45, an analysis log file 46, a log file 47, and the like.

  The login tool 32 is used for login of a person who uses the client terminal 5. Since the electronic medical record system is usually used mainly by a doctor as a user, the login tool 32 performs authentication necessary for the doctor to log in.

  The prescription tool 33, the inspection tool 34, the injection tool 35, and the like are part of the functions of the drug system, the inspection system, the injection system, and the like provided by the server 3, and are configured so that these functions can be used in the client terminal 5. It has been done.

  The patient list tool 36 is a function for listing patients. For example, there is a function of displaying a list of all patients for whom a doctor is in charge, a patient to be examined on the day, and a patient to be examined in the morning or afternoon on the display surface HG of the display 24. In addition, there is a function of displaying a medical history of a patient selected from the list display on the display surface HG.

  The input unit FN, the reference unit FS, the recording unit FK, and the check unit FC perform data processing with different magnitudes of influence on the medical information system 1.

  That is, the input unit FN has a function of inputting characters and data from the keyboard 22 or the mouse 23. In the processing operation by the input unit FN, characters and data input from the keyboard 22 or the mouse 23 are stored or processed only inside the client terminal 5, and externally, for example, the servers 3 and 4 or other client terminals 5 is not output. Therefore, the data processing by the input unit FN has a small influence on the entire system.

  The reference unit FS has a function of transferring data from the outside and inputting it to the client terminal 5 in order to refer to the data. In the processing operation by the reference unit FS, data is read from the patient database 11 or the medical record database 12 of the electronic medical record system server 4 or from the database or storage area of the other server 3. In the processing by the reference unit FS, only data is read from the counterpart device or the like, and data is not written to the storage area of those devices. Therefore, the data processing by the reference unit FS does not have a great influence on the entire system.

  The check unit FC is a function for performing data check (inspection) by exchanging data with the check logic. Data may be written within a limited range involving check logic. Therefore, the data processing by the check unit FC may not have a small effect on the entire system.

  The recording unit FK has a function of writing and updating data not only in the client terminal 5 but also in external devices such as the medical record database 12 and the patient database 11 of the electronic medical record system server 4. Furthermore, data may be written in a database or storage area of another server 3. Therefore, in the data processing by the recording unit FK, the influence on the entire system is larger than other processing.

  Each of the input unit FN, the reference unit FS, the recording unit FK, and the check unit FC can be regarded as one of various operations. For example, it can be said that this corresponds to performing an input operation, a reference operation, a recording operation, and a check operation, respectively, by using the keyboard 22 or the mouse 23 or clicking a button or box displayed on the screen.

  For example, on the screen displayed on the display screen HG of the client terminal 5, when a button for acquiring data from another is clicked, the processing of the reference unit FS is performed, and the button for transferring data to another is clicked. At that time, the processing is performed by the recording unit FK.

  The transmission / reception unit 41 has a function of transmitting / receiving data between the client terminal 5 and the electronic medical record system server 4 or between the electronic medical record system and another system or tool.

  The check logic 42 checks whether there is no contradiction or abnormality in the input data or the like, whether there is any data that causes an error, or the like. If there is an abnormality, an alarm is issued as an error. For example, when the amount of medicine input is abnormally large in the prescription order, it is set as an error. Therefore, there is a high probability that an error will occur during processing by the check unit FC.

  The log data acquisition unit 43 acquires log data within a necessary range set in advance when an error occurs. That is, when an error occurs during execution of a program based on an operation, log data is acquired retroactively to a range corresponding to the log level corresponding to the operation.

  In the log level table 44, a plurality of types of data processing (processing types) executed in response to various operations are set with log levels corresponding to the magnitude of the influence of each data processing on the system. It is a table. In the present embodiment, the log level is set corresponding to the input operation, reference operation, recording operation, and check operation described above.

  In FIG. 4, the log level table 44 includes items of a log code CL, a processing type SY, a log level LL, and a valid flag FG. As the processing type SY, four types of input, reference, recording, and check are recorded, and a log code CL is assigned to each. Then, log levels LL of “0”, “1”, “2”, and “2” are given to these processing types SY.

  The correction coefficient table 45 stores correction coefficients HK set for a plurality of tools NT each including execution of one or more types of data processing (processing types).

  When an error occurs during the execution of the processing program based on the operation, the retroactive level LS is determined using the log level LL and the correction coefficient HK, and retroactively to the retroactive range HS according to the determined retroactive level LS. Then, the log data DL is acquired.

  In FIG. 5, the correction coefficient table 45 includes items of countermeasure tool ID (TD), tool (tool name) NT, and correction coefficient HK. A countermeasure tool ID (TD) is assigned to each tool NT, and each correction coefficient HK is given.

  In FIG. 6, the tool table TL shows the contents of the processing type SY included in each tool NT. For example, “system login” includes “input” and “check” as the processing type SY. In “patient list search”, only “reference” is included as the processing type SY. In “prescription order”, “examination order”, “injection order”, “diagnosis reservation order”, etc., all of “input”, “reference”, “record”, and “check” are included as processing types SY.

  In FIG. 7, the coefficient table KT shows the coefficient KE for each processing type SY. That is, “0.1”, “0.2”, “0.4”, and “0.3” are given as the coefficients KE to “input”, “reference”, “record”, and “check”, respectively. In the present embodiment, the total of these four correction coefficients HK is 1.

  That is, the correction coefficient HK given to each tool NT shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is a value obtained by adding the coefficient KE of the processing type SY included in each tool NT.

  As described above, the retroactive level LS is determined based on the set log level LL and the correction coefficient HK. That is, the retroactive level LS is obtained by the following equation (1).

LS = LL × HK × C (1)
However, the retroactive level LS is set to an integer by rounding up the decimal point when the calculation result of equation (1) includes a decimal, and the maximum is set to 2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the retroactive level LS is either “0”, “1”, or “2”. The retroactive level LS may be an integer obtained by rounding down the calculation result or rounding off. As the retroactive level LS, “3”, “4”, “5”, and the like may be further provided to further increase the types of the retroactive range HS.

  C in the above equation (1) is the importance. The importance C is determined, for example, by the number of times that the same patient chart is opened on the same day. That is, in this case, the number of times the same patient's chart is opened during the same system login when the patient's chart is opened after the system login. Since this is usually one time, the importance level C is often “1”. However, when an examination order or radiation order is issued to a patient, the second time after the examination or radiation ends. In this case, the degree of importance C is “2” because a medical examination is often performed.

  Therefore, for example, when the log level LL is “2”, the correction coefficient HK is “1”, and the importance C is “1”, the retroactive level LS is “2” (= 2 × 1 ×). 1). When the log level LL is “2”, the correction coefficient HK is “0.5”, and the importance C is “1”, the retroactive level LS is “1” (= 2 × 0. 5 × 1). In addition, when the log level LL is “1”, the correction coefficient HK is “0.2”, and the importance C is “1”, the retroactive level LS is 1 × 0.2 × 1 = Round up 0.2 to get “1”.

  In FIG. 8, the retroactive range table ST shows the retroactive range HS corresponding to the retroactive level LS. That is, the retroactive level LS is “2”, “1”, and “0”, and the retroactive range HS is “at the time of system login”, “at the start of the chart”, and “at the time of starting the tool”.

  Therefore, for example, if the retroactive level LS is “2”, the retroactive range HS is “at the time of system login” based on the retroactive range table ST. The log data DL is acquired.

  Therefore, in this case, even if an error occurs at any point after system login, log data DL from the system login to the error occurrence point is acquired, and one analysis log file 46 is created by these. . Normally, system login and system logout are performed once every morning and afternoon in the day. Therefore, when the retroactive level LS is “2”, log data DL until an error occurs in the morning examination or afternoon examination. Is often acquired.

  If the retroactive level LS is “1”, the retroactive range HS is “at the start of the medical record” based on the retroactive range table ST. Therefore, the log data is retroactive from the time when the error occurred to the “at the start of the medical record”. DL will be acquired.

  Therefore, in this case, log data DL from the time the chart is opened for the patient to the time when the error occurs is acquired, and thereby one analysis log file 46 is created.

  If the retroactive level LS is “0”, the retroactive range HS is “at the time of starting the tool” based on the retroactive range table ST. Therefore, the log data is retroactively recorded from the time when the error occurs to the “at the time of starting the tool”. DL will be acquired.

  Therefore, in this case, log data DL from the time when one tool is activated in the examination of a patient to the time when an error occurs is acquired, and thereby one analysis log file 46 is created.

  The analysis log file 46 is a file created from the acquired log data DL. When an error occurs, a person in charge such as a system engineer investigates and recovers the cause. At that time, the person in charge displays the contents of the analysis log file 46 on the display surface of the maintenance computer. . The person in charge looks at the contents of the analysis log file 46 and investigates and restores the cause.

  The analysis log file 46 is temporarily created in, for example, a partial area of the main memory. However, when the system logout is performed, the analysis log file 46 is moved to another area, for example, a large-capacity storage unit such as a hard disk. .

  The log file 47 is a file in which log data (main log data, main log information) that is a history of normal processing in the client terminal 5 is accumulated. A main log information acquisition unit is provided to acquire log data associated with various processes in the electronic medical record system KS. Log data acquired by the main log information acquisition unit is recorded in the log file 47.

  As described above, when an error occurs, the log level LL, the correction coefficient HK, and the importance C are determined according to the operation and processing type at the time of the error occurrence, and the retroactive level LS based on them is determined. Accordingly, the retroactive range HS is determined. Then, log data DL is acquired based on the retroactive range HS, and an analysis log file 46 is created.

  Accordingly, the log data DL in the retroactive range HS corresponding to the magnitude of the influence on the system is acquired corresponding to the operation and processing type at the time of occurrence of the error. As a result, it is possible to acquire log data DL that is effective in investigating the cause of the error, and it is difficult to acquire unnecessary log data DL, so the data amount of the analysis log file 46 is reduced, and the system Resources are not stressed and the system is not overloaded.

  The log level table 44, the correction coefficient table 45, and the like can also be referred to as master files storing the log level LL or the correction coefficient HK, and thus can also be referred to as a log master, a correction coefficient master, and the like.

  The tool table TL, the coefficient table KT, and the retroactive range table ST may be provided in the electronic medical record client 31. The tool table TL is shown for explaining how to determine the correction coefficient HK, and need not be provided.

  9, in the electronic medical chart system KS, as a log data acquisition control function, that is, a control device KSC, a log level table 44, a correction coefficient table 45, a retroactive range table ST, a log level acquisition unit 51, a correction coefficient acquisition unit 52, a processing type A detection unit 53, a tool detection unit 54, an importance detection unit 55, an error detection unit 56, a retroactive level calculation unit 57, a retroactive range determination unit 58, a log data acquisition unit 43, an analysis log file creation unit 60, and the like are provided. .

  The error detection unit 56 detects the occurrence of an error in the electronic medical record system KS, particularly the occurrence of an error in various tools.

  When the error detection unit 56 detects the occurrence of an error, the process type detection unit 53 detects the process type SY at that time, the tool detection unit 54 detects the tool NT used at that time, and the importance level detection unit 55 detects importance C. The log level LL and the correction coefficient HK are acquired from the log level table 44 or the correction coefficient table 45 according to the detected processing type SY and tool NT. Based on these and the importance C, the retroactive level calculator 57 calculates the retroactive level LS. Based on the calculated retroactive level LS, the retroactive range determining unit 58 determines the retroactive range HS with reference to the retroactive range table ST. Based on the retroactive range HS, the log data acquisition unit 59 acquires the log data DL. The analysis log file creation unit 60 sets the acquired log data DL as the analysis log file 46. The analysis log file 46 is sent to, for example, the hard disk 21c and stored there.

  Next, processing when an error occurs in the electronic medical chart system KS described above will be described based on a specific example.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the main operation by the doctor, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a detailed example of the operation on the patient B in FIG. The content shown in FIG. 10 is an example of the log file 47. The contents shown in FIG. 11 can also be used as an example of the log file 47.

  In FIG. 10, the doctor first logs in to the electronic medical record system KS in the client terminal 5 (# 11). A list of patients is displayed (# 12). The patient A's chart (electronic chart), which is the first patient, is opened, and the patient A's examination is started (# 13). When the examination is over, patient A's chart is closed (# 14). The next patient B's chart is opened (# 15), and when the examination is completed, the chart is closed (# 16). The same applies to patient C (# 17, 18), and this is repeated for subsequent patients.

  Then, the patient B is opened for the second medical examination on the day (# 19), and when the medical examination is completed, the medical chart is closed (# 20). The medical chart of the last patient G is opened (# 21). When the examination is completed, the medical chart is closed (# 22), and the system is logged out from the electronic medical chart system KS (# 23).

  In the example shown in FIG. 10, patient B receives the first examination in step # 15, is instructed to perform the examination in the examination, and after the examination, the patient B receives the second examination in step # 19. .

  In FIG. 11, after opening the chart for patient B (# 31), the past chart is referenced (# 32), and the examination result is referenced (# 33). The doctor inputs the findings from the examination (# 34). Enter prescription order (# 35), enter examination order (# 36), enter injection order (# 37), enter appointment (# 38), and close patient B's chart (# 39) .

  Note that the contents of FIG. 11 may be steps # 15 and # 16 in FIG. 10 or steps # 19 and # 20.

  Now, for example, assume that an error has occurred in step # 35. It is assumed that the input unit FN of the prescription tool 33 is used when an error occurs. In other words, it is assumed that an error has occurred at the time when the prescription tool 33 has entered data or instructions for issuing an order.

  In this case, since the log level LL is “0” from the log level table 44 and the correction coefficient HK is “1” from the correction coefficient table 45, the retroactive level LS is “0”. Accordingly, the retroactive range HS is “when the tool is activated”, and the log data DL1 from the time when the prescription tool 33 is activated, that is, from the start of step # 35 to the time when the error occurs is acquired, and the analysis log file 46 is created. To do.

  In the same example, if an error occurs when referring to past data or instructions to place an order, the log level LL is “1”, the retroactive level LS is “1”, and the retroactive range. The HS becomes “at the start of the chart”, and the log data DL2 is acquired retroactively until the patient B's chart is opened, that is, at the start of step # 31, and the analysis log file 46 is created.

  If this is the second visit for patient B, the retroactive level LS is “2”, the retroactive range HS is “at system login”, and the log data DL3 is retroactive to step # 11. Obtain the log file 46 for analysis.

  Further, if an error occurs at the time of recording data or instructions for issuing an order, the log level LL is “2”, the retroactive level LS is “2”, and the retroactive range HS is “at the time of system login” The log data DL4 is acquired retroactively to step # 11, and the analysis log file 46 is created.

  Thus, the range in which the log data DL is acquired differs according to the processing type SY when the error occurs, the tool NT used, and the importance C.

  Next, the log data acquisition control processing operation in the medical information system 1 will be described with reference to a flowchart.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing operation of log data acquisition control in the medical information system 1.

  In FIG. 12, the log level LL is set in advance (# 101). When an error occurs (Yes in # 102), the log level LL corresponding to the operation content and processing type at that time is acquired (# 103). The retroactive range HS is determined according to the log level LL (# 104), the log data DL is acquired (# 105), and the analysis log file 46 is created and stored (# 106).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing another example of processing operation of log data acquisition control in the medical information system 1.

  In FIG. 13, the log level LL is set in advance (# 111). When an error occurs (Yes in # 112), the log level LL corresponding to the operation content and processing type at that time is acquired (# 113), the correction coefficient HK is acquired (# 114), and the importance C is acquired. (# 115). Based on these, the retroactive level LS is calculated (# 116), and the retroactive range HS is determined (# 117). Log data DL is acquired based on the retroactive range HS (# 118), and an analysis log file 46 is created and stored (# 119).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when an error occurs, the retroactive level LS is divided based on the content of the error, and how far the log data DL is collected (retroactive range HS). Is automatically determined. Based on the determined retroactive range HS, log data DL is automatically collected, and an analysis log file 46 is created and stored.

  The log level LL, the correction coefficient HK, and the like are set in advance according to the magnitude of the influence on the medical information system 1 due to the operation or processing content at the time of occurrence of the error, and the retroactive level LS is determined based on them. The Therefore, when the influence on the entire medical information system 1 is large and when the influence on the entire medical information system 1 is large, a larger amount of log level LL is collected.

  As described above, according to the medical information system 1 of the present embodiment, when an error occurs, the log level LL in the necessary range is automatically collected retroactively and recorded as the analysis log file 46. Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly investigate a defect, and it is possible to reduce the burden for maintenance for any medical facility, doctor, or vendor.

In setting the log level LL, it is possible to set the log level LL by evaluating the degree of influence on the system by data processing such as input, reference, and recording by various methods.
[Modification]
Next, various modifications to the above-described embodiment and the correspondence between them will be described.

  The electronic medical record system KS is a processing system having a plurality of processing units that perform processing by executing processing programs. In such a processing system, the control device KSC acquires failure log data for analyzing an error cause (failure cause) in the processing unit.

  That is, the control device KSC records the main log recording unit that stores the main log information associated with the processing of the processing unit, the identifier for identifying the processing unit, the characteristics of the processing included in the processing unit, and the main log recording unit.
