Description

  The present invention relates to an inspection request system and an inspection request terminal device constituting the inspection request system.

  A system using a communication line is well known as a system for requesting an examination from an external examination institution from each medical institution requiring a clinical examination (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, these systems are intended for large-scale medical institutions and are difficult to introduce for small-scale medical institutions such as clinics.

A conventional examination request method in a small-scale medical institution has been a capture method in which an examination request form is handwritten and the request information is digitized by OCR analysis and key-in input in the system. However, the name of the subject and the contents of the request are entered on the inspection request form, and the name of the subject is entered on the label. For this purpose, there are the work of filling in the label by hand for each type of sample container and the work of filling in the request form, which is very laborious and erroneously filled, and requires confirmation work. Further, when the person in charge of collection receives the inspection, it is necessary to confirm the specialized knowledge of the specimen container, the name of the subject, and the contents of the inspection request in accordance with the contents of the inspection request.
