## Abstract

In one embodiment, a medical information processing apparatus includes first processing circuitry. The first processing circuitry acquires attribute information indicating an attribute of an object and analysis information indicating an analysis result of a medical image of the object, generates a pre-order including at least one of an imaging order and a treatment order based on the attribute information and the analysis information, and causes a display to display the pre-order.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A medical information processing apparatus comprising first processing circuitry configured to:
acquire attribute information indicating an attribute of an object and analysis information indicating an analysis result of a medical image of the object;
generate a pre-order including at least one of an imaging order and a treatment order based on the attribute information and the analysis information; and
cause a display to display the pre-order.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first processing circuitry is configured to:
further generate rationale information indicating a grounds for generating the pre-order based on the attribute information and the analysis information; and
cause the display to display the rationale information together with the pre-order.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first processing circuitry is configured to:
identify at least one candidate disease of the object based on the attribute information and the analysis information;
acquire history data of the imaging order or the treatment order, the imaging order being an instruction to generate a medical image necessary for diagnosing the candidate disease, the treatment order being an instruction to perform treatment of the candidate disease; and
generate the pre-order based on the history data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first processing circuitry is configured to:
generate a plurality of pre-orders; and
narrow down the pre-orders to be displayed on the display depending on number of times that each pre-order has been executed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the analysis information is an analysis result obtained by analyzing the medical image by an image analysis application or a report made by an image interpretation doctor from the analysis result.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first processing circuitry is configured to generate a plurality of pre-orders in cooperation with second processing circuitry of a hospital information management system, the second processing circuitry being configured to:
transmit an analysis order to the medical information processing apparatus, the analysis order being an instruction to analyze the medical image of the object and output the analysis result;
acquire medical history information indicating a medical history of the object;
acquire the pre-orders;
narrow down the pre-orders based on the medical history information to cause a display to display a narrowed-down pre-order;
receive approval of the narrowed-down pre-order by user's operation; and
issue at least one of the imaging order and the treatment order based on the pre-order of which the approval has been received.

### Claim 7

A medical information processing system comprising a medical information processing apparatus and a hospital information management system,
wherein the medical information processing apparatus comprises first processing circuitry configured to:
output an analysis result of a medical image of an object by analyzing the medical image of the object in accordance with an analysis order received from the hospital information management system;
acquire attribute information indicating an attribute of the object and analysis information indicating the analysis result of the object;
generate a plurality of pre-orders including at least one of an imaging order and a treatment order based on the attribute information and the analysis information,
wherein the hospital information management system comprises second processing circuitry configured to:
transmit the analysis order to the medical information processing apparatus, the analysis order being an instruction to analyze the medical image of the object and output the analysis result;
acquire medical history information indicating a medical history of the object;
acquire the pre-orders;
narrow down the pre-orders based on the medical history information to cause a display to display a narrowed-down pre-order;
receive approval of the narrowed-down pre-order by user's operation; and
issue at least one of the imaging order and the treatment order based on the narrowed-down pre-order of which the approval has been received.

### Claim 8

A medical information processing method to be executed by a medical information processing apparatus, the medical information processing method comprising steps of:
acquiring attribute information indicating an attribute of an object and analysis information indicating an analysis result of a medical image of the object;
generating a pre-order including at least one of an imaging order and a treatment order based on the attribute information and the analysis information; and
causing a display to display the pre-order.
