What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted patent US12586677B2 to NEC CORPORATION for an electronic medical record system. The patent covers a management method that utilizes gene analysis results, recipe creation timelines, and manufacturing schedules to predict the delivery date or required time for administration items within a hospital setting. This includes transmitting this predicted information to a terminal.

While this is a patent grant and not a regulatory rule, it signifies a technological advancement in health informatics and electronic medical record systems. Compliance officers in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors should be aware of potential future integrations or requirements related to such predictive delivery systems, particularly concerning supply chain management and patient treatment planning. No immediate compliance actions are required, but monitoring industry adoption of patented technologies is advisable.

Abstract

A management method includes: a determination step in which the management system determines a predicted delivery date or a predicted required time when an administration item is delivered to a hospital by using an estimated time or an actual required time when an analysis institution analyzes a gene of a specimen of a patient, an estimated time or an actual required time when a creation institution creates a recipe of the administration item to a patient from a genetic analysis result, and/or an estimated time or an actual required time when a manufacturing institution manufactures the administration item according to the recipe; and a transmission step in which information for displaying the predicted delivery date or the predicted required time is transmitted to a terminal.
