Patient reported outcome collection support apparatus, method, and computer-readable storage medium

A patient reported outcome collection support method executed by a support information processing apparatus capable of transmitting, via a network, information data between an information processing apparatus used by a clinical trial operator of a medicine and each of a plurality of terminal apparatuses used by a plurality of patients, comprising:

• acquiring clinical trial protocol information including a plurality of survey items defined for each clinical trial in advance from the information processing apparatus used by the clinical trial operator via the network;
• generating survey form information used to survey a prognosis of the patient by converting the plurality of survey items included in the acquired clinical trial protocol information based on a conversion rule stored in advance;
• distributing the generated survey form information to the terminal apparatus via the network and acquiring patient reported outcome information indicating an answer result of the patient to the survey form information from the terminal apparatus via the network;
• and
• transferring the acquired patient reported outcome information to the information processing apparatus used by the clinical trial operator via the network.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executed by a processor of a support information processing apparatus capable of transmitting, via a network, information data between an information processing apparatus used by a clinical trial operator of a medicine and each of a plurality of terminal apparatuses used by a plurality of patients, causing the processor to:

• acquire clinical trial protocol information including a plurality of survey items defined for each clinical trial in advance from the information processing apparatus used by the clinical trial operator via the network;
• generate survey form information used to survey a prognosis of the patient by converting the plurality of survey items included in the acquired clinical trial protocol information based on a conversion rule stored in advance;
• distribute the generated survey form information to the terminal apparatus via the network and acquire patient reported outcome information indicating an answer result of the patient to the survey form information from the terminal apparatus via the network;
• and
• transfer the acquired patient reported outcome information to the information processing apparatus used by the clinical trial operator via the network.
