包括的な医療研修のための病院ワークフローのシミュレーション

background

In order to operate hospital workflows efficiently, it is essential for medical staff to master various medical standards and technologies. Our project aimed to develop a platform that can simulate all hospital workflows, focusing on medical standards such as DICOM, HL7, and FHIR.

assignment:

The challenge was to create an interactive, comprehensive training environment that could accurately replicate the complexities of hospital workflows. The platform had to support a variety of DICOM, HL7, and FHIR workflows to provide a realistic training experience.

Solution:

We have developed a web-based simulation platform with the following features:

DICOM workflow execution:

• C-ECHO: Check network connection to DICOM server
• DICOM MWL (Modality Work List): Access to patient information and scheduled procedures
• C-FIND: Search for DICOM objects on a server
• C-MOVE: Transfer DICOM objects between servers
• C-STORE: Store DICOM images and reports on the server
• View images in a DICOM viewer: View images using the OHIF DICOM viewer
• View/Edit DICOM Tags: Edit metadata in DICOM files

Running an HL7/FHIR workflow:

• HL7 v2 Workflow:
• Viewing and editing HL7 messages
• Sending HL7 messages to other systems
• FHIR Workflow:
• Viewing, editing, and sending FHIR resources
• Query a FHIR server to view older versions of resources

In this solution, we used open source technologies to set up a DICOM server and a FHIR server. Through a web application, users can simulate all workflows and experience the hospital workflow in a single platform.

Technology stack:

• Front-end development: Building dynamic user interfaces using ReactJs
• Backend Development: Use Python and Fast API for high performance server-side operations
• Database: Uses MySQL to store structured data
• DICOM Server: Uses DCM4Chee to manage DICOM images and workflows
• DICOM Viewer: Uses OHIF to view DICOM images within the platform

result:

The platform provided a hands-on training experience, enabling users to:

• Learn and Practice: Gain practical knowledge of DICOM, HL7, and FHIR workflows
• Simulate real-world scenarios: Experience the complexities of hospital workflows in a controlled environment
• Improve skills: Increase proficiency in medical standards and the use of technology

Conclusion:

This project effectively bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in medical training. By simulating real hospital workflows, it created a valuable tool to train medical professionals in the use of key medical standards and techniques.
