Abstract

An apparatus that searches for suitable similar cases is provided. The apparatus includes an identification unit that identifies, in a case where a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report including the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which the link information is added, from among a plurality of stored diagnosis reports.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing apparatus configured to output a specific report from among a plurality of diagnosis reports, the information processing apparatus comprising:
an identification unit configured to identify, in a case where a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis that is different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which the link information is added, from among a plurality of stored diagnosis reports; and an output unit configured to output the identified diagnosis report.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where information indicating a category of the link information is included in the search key, the identification unit identifies a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and includes the link information of a same category as the category included in the search key.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the information includes information indicating that a relationship between a content described in the first diagnosis item and a content described in the second diagnosis item is a contradictory relationship, cause-and-effect relationship, or correspondence relationship.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the search key does not include the link information, the identification unit identifies a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and does not include the link information.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the search key does not include the link information, the identification unit identifies a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and does not include the link information and a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and includes the link information.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the identified diagnosis report output by the output unit includes one or more of a first finding item corresponding to the first diagnosis item, a second finding item corresponding to the second diagnosis item, a first image corresponding to the first finding item, and a second image corresponding to the second finding item.

7 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a transmission unit configured to transmit, as a search key, a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis that is different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item; and a reception unit configured to receive, as a search result based on the search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which link information is added.

8 . A system comprising:
a transmission unit; and an information processing apparatus configured to output a specific report from among a plurality of diagnosis reports, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises: an identification unit configured to identify, in a case where a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis that is different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which the link information is added, from among a plurality of stored diagnosis reports, and an output unit configured to output the identified diagnosis report, and wherein the transmission unit transmits the search key to the information processing apparatus.

9 . An information processing method configured to output a specific report from a plurality of diagnosis reports, the information processing method comprising:
identifying, in a case where a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis that is different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which the link information is added from a plurality of stored diagnosis reports; and outputting the identified diagnosis report.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute an information processing method configured to output a specific report from a plurality of diagnosis reports, the information processing method comprising:
identifying, in a case where a first diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis, a second diagnosis item including a description about a diagnosis that is different from the first diagnosis item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first diagnosis item and the second diagnosis item and in which the link information is added from a plurality of stored diagnosis reports; and outputting the identified diagnosis report.

11 . An information processing apparatus configured to output a specific report from among a plurality of diagnosis reports, the information processing apparatus comprising:
an identification unit configured to identify, in a case where a first item including a description about a subject, a second item that is an item of a same category as a category of the first item and includes a description about the subject that is different from the first item, and link information indicating a relationship between the first item and the second item are acquired as a search key, a diagnosis report that includes the first item and the second item and in which the link information is added, from among a plurality of stored diagnosis reports; and an output unit configured to output the identified diagnosis report.
