Abstract

The medical information processing system, which includes a server cluster configured using a plurality of virtual machines, includes a first controller that distributes a processing request to a non-emergency system processing request queue or an emergency system processing request queue depending on a type of the received processing request, a non-emergency system processing module that performs a process corresponding to a non-emergency system processing request stacked in the non-emergency system processing request queue, an emergency system processing module that performs a process corresponding to an emergency system processing request stacked in the emergency system processing request queue, and a second controller that controls the number of the processing modules, in which control by the second controller includes temporarily stopping a part of a plurality of non-emergency system processing modules in operation and newly activating the emergency system processing module.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A medical information processing system comprising one or more processors configured to implement a plurality of virtual machines, a processor of the one or more processors is configured to:

perform processing request distribution of receiving a non-emergency system processing request and an emergency system processing request and distribute the non-emergency system processing request to a non-emergency system processing request queue and the emergency system processing request to an emergency system processing request queue depending on whether each of the non-emergency system processing request and the emergency system processing request is a process classified into non-emergency or a process classified into emergency, wherein the emergency system processing request is associated with a first allowable waiting time for the emergency processing request to complete and the non-emergency system processing request is associated with a second allowable waiting time for the non-emergency processing request to complete;
monitor the non-emergency system processing request queue and perform a process of a non-emergency system corresponding to instruction content of the non-emergency system processing request stacked in the non-emergency system processing request queue;
monitor the emergency system processing request queue and perform a process of an emergency system corresponding to instruction content of the emergency system processing request stacked in the emergency system processing request queue;
and
perform calculation resource usage state control for controlling the number of the non-emergency system processes to be operated and the number of the emergency system processes to be operated based on the number of the emergency system processing requests that have been received and the number of the emergency system processes in operation and the second allowable waiting time, wherein
the calculation resource usage state control includes a process for temporarily stopping a part of a plurality of the non-emergency system processes in operation and newly activating the emergency system process to increase the number of the emergency system processes in response to a first processing waiting time from receiving the emergency system processing request until completion being longer than a first allowable waiting time determined based on a number of the non-emergency system processes that can be temporarily stopped.

A medical information processing method that is executed by a computer comprising one or more processors configured to implement a plurality of virtual machines, the method comprising:

performing processing request distribution of receiving a non-emergency system processing request and an emergency system processing request and distribute the non-emergency system processing request to a non-emergency system processing request queue and the emergency system processing request to an emergency system processing request queue depending on whether each of the non-emergency system processing request and the emergency system processing request is a process classified into non-emergency or a process classified into emergency, wherein the emergency system processing request is associated with a first allowable waiting time for the emergency processing request to complete and the non-emergency system processing request is associated with a second allowable waiting time for the non-emergency processing request to complete;
monitoring the non-emergency system processing request queue and perform a process of a non-emergency system corresponding to instruction content of the non-emergency system processing request stacked in the non-emergency system processing request queue;
monitoring the emergency system processing request queue and perform a process of an emergency system corresponding to instruction content of the emergency system processing request stacked in the emergency system processing request queue;
and
performing calculation resource usage state control for controlling the number of the non-emergency system processes to be operated and the number of the emergency system processes to be operated based on the number of the emergency system processing requests that have been received and the number of the emergency system processes in operation and the second allowable waiting time, wherein
the calculation resource usage state control includes a process for temporarily stopping a part of a plurality of the non-emergency system processes in operation and newly activating the emergency system process to increase the number of the emergency system processes in response to the first processing waiting time from receiving the emergency system processing request until completion being longer than a first allowable waiting time determined based on a number of the non-emergency system processes that can be temporarily stopped.
