PROCEDE ET SYSTEME POUR COLLECTER ET DIFFUSER LES DONNEES MÉDICALES DES ANIMAUX DE COMPAGNIE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING MEDICAL DATA FROM PETS
La présente invention concerne un procédé pour constituer et mettre à jour le dossier médical d'un animal de compagnie et pour en diffuser le contenu vers une pluralité de vétérinaires praticiens susceptibles d'être consultés par le ou les propriétaires successifs dudit animal de compagnie .The present invention relates to a method for constituting and updating the medical file of a pet and for disseminating the content thereof to a plurality of veterinary practitioners likely to be consulted by the successive owner or owners of said pet.
L'observation des soins vétérinaires a permis aux inventeurs d'identifier deux problèmes majeurs :The observation of veterinary care enabled the inventors to identify two major problems:
- un manque de transparence concernant les actes vétérinaires pratiqués, - une inadéquation des traitements prescrits aux animaux .- a lack of transparency concerning the veterinary acts practiced, - an inadequacy of the treatments prescribed for animals.
En outre, les solutions apportées à ces deux problèmes sont actuellement insuffisantes :In addition, the solutions to these two problems are currently insufficient:
- concernant la constitution d'un dossier médical com- plet de l'animal de compagnie : à la fin du carnet de vaccination de l'animal, on trouve, en tout et pour tout, deux pages qui font office de dossier médical. Ce document n'est presque jamais utilisé par les vétérinaires praticiens car il est mal connu, peu pratique et peu précis, - concernant l'échange d'informations médicales entre vétérinaires : le téléphone demeure le seul moyen pertinent d'échange d'informations médicales entre vétérinaires praticiens, mais encore faut-il que les vétérinaires puissent se joindre au bon moment. L'inconvénient majeur du téléphone est qu'il ne permet pas de transmettre des pièces complémentaires importantes, (radios, résultats complets d'examens, visites antérieures ... ) .- concerning the creation of a complete medical file for the pet: at the end of the animal's vaccination book, there are, in all and for all, two pages which act as medical file. This document is almost never used by veterinary practitioners because it is poorly known, impractical and imprecise, - concerning the exchange of medical information between veterinarians: the telephone remains the only relevant means exchange of medical information between veterinary practitioners, but it is still necessary that veterinarians can join at the right time. The major drawback of the telephone is that it does not allow the transmission of important additional documents (radios, complete results of exams, previous visits ...).
Le procédé, selon l'invention, permet de collecter et diffuser les données médicales des animaux de compagnie. Ce procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : - l'étape d'affecter à chaque animal et à chaque dossier médical un code d'identification unique,The method according to the invention makes it possible to collect and disseminate the medical data of pets. This process includes the following steps: - the step of assigning each animal and each medical file a unique identification code,
- l'étape d'établir une fiche de visite médicale,- the stage of establishing a medical examination card,
- l'étape de transmettre et d'enregistrer dans une base de données ladite fiche de visite médicale en vue de constituer ou de mettre à jour le dossier médical,- the step of transmitting and recording in a database the said medical visit sheet with a view to compiling or updating the medical file,
- l'étape d'autoriser la lecture du dossier médical situé dans la base de données, via un réseau de communication, notamment du type Internet, par tout porteur du code d'identification. Ainsi, chaque animal de compagnie possède un dossier complet qui relate son histoire médicale (comptes-rendus de consultations, traitements, opérations, résultats d'examens biologiques, radiographies... ) .the step of authorizing the reading of the medical file located in the database, via a communication network, in particular of the Internet type, by any bearer of the identification code. Thus, each pet has a complete file which relates its medical history (reports of consultations, treatments, operations, results of biological examinations, x-rays, etc.).
De préférence, selon l'invention, ladite fiche de visite médicale est établie lors de la visite médicale par le vétérinaire praticien consulté.Preferably, according to the invention, said medical visit card is established during the medical visit by the veterinary practitioner consulted.
Avantageusement, selon une première variante de réalisation, la fiche de visite médicale se présente sous la forme d'un fichier électronique réalisé par le vétérinaire praticien au moyen d'un équipement informatique.Advantageously, according to a first alternative embodiment, the medical examination form is in the form of an electronic file produced by the practicing veterinarian by means of computer equipment.
Avantageusement, selon cette première variante de réalisation, la fiche de visite médicale est transmise par le vétérinaire praticien ou le propriétaire de l'animal de compagnie, via un réseau de communication, notamment du type Internet . De préférence, le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape d'autoriser l'écriture ou la modification du dossier médical par un vétérinaire praticien, après vérification du code d'identification de l'animal concerné répertorié dans la base de données .Advantageously, according to this first alternative embodiment, the medical examination card is transmitted by the veterinary practitioner or the owner of the pet, via a communication network, in particular of the Internet type. Preferably, the method according to the invention further comprises the step of authorizing the writing or modification of the medical file by a practicing veterinarian, after verification of the identification code of the animal concerned listed in the database. .
Ainsi, le code d'identification permet de sécuriser 1 ' accès aux informations médicales des animaux de compagnie .Thus, the identification code makes it possible to secure access to medical information for pets.
De préférence, le code d'identification est inscrit sur un badge porté par l'animal de compagnie. L'identification de l'animal est également possible par puce électronique. Celle- ci, implantée sous la peau de l'animal porte un numéro d'identification unique qui peut être utilisé comme numéro d'identification du dossier médical .Preferably, the identification code is written on a badge worn by the pet. The identification of the animal is also possible by electronic chip. This one, implanted under the skin of the animal carries a unique identification number which can be used as identification number of the medical file.
Ainsi, le procédé, selon l'invention, permet à la fois d'améliorer la transparence des actes vétérinaires, et de les rendre plus efficaces. La base de données, qui centralise les dossiers médicaux des animaux de compagnie, est consultable et modifiable via un réseau de communication de type Internet .Thus, the method according to the invention makes it possible both to improve the transparency of veterinary procedures, and to make them more effective. The database, which centralizes the medical records of pets, can be consulted and modified via an Internet-type communication network.
L'invention concerne également un dispositif pour constituer et mettre à jour le dossier médical d'un animal de compagnie et pour en diffuser le contenu vers une pluralité de vétérinaires praticiens et/ou vers les propriétaires successifs dudit animal de compagnie ; un code d'identification unique étant affecté à chaque animal et à chaque dossier médical .

Ainsi, la constitution et l'actualisation du dossier médical satisfait le besoin de transparence des propriétaires des animaux de compagnie concernant les actes pratiqués et permettent d'accroître l'efficacité des traitements prescrits aux animaux de compagnie. En effet, les informations importantesThus, the constitution and updating of the medical file satisfies the need for transparency of the owners of pets concerning the acts performed and makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of the treatments prescribed for pets. Indeed, important information
(allergies, contre-indications...) consignées dans le dossier médical, sont rapidement et facilement accessibles, notamment pour un vétérinaire consulté occasionnellement ne connaissant pas le passé médical de l'animal, mais à qui il doit néanmoins prodiguer des soins dans l'urgence.(allergies, contraindications ...) recorded in the medical file, are quickly and easily accessible, especially for a veterinarian consulted occasionally who does not know not the animal's medical history, but to whom it must nonetheless provide emergency care.
Les procédures d'accès au dossier médical sont conçues de manière sélective, à la fois pour garantir la confidentialité des informations que contient le dossier et pour réserver aux seuls vétérinaires praticiens la faculté de modifier ces informations. Ces procédures s'articulent de la manière suivante :The procedures for accessing the medical file are selectively designed, both to guarantee the confidentiality of the information contained in the file and to reserve the right to modify only this information to practicing veterinarians. These procedures are structured as follows:
- le propriétaire de 1 ' animal , via différents réseaux de communication, tels que Internet, le minitel ou encore le téléphone, peut consulter le dossier médical, mais ne peut le modifier,- the owner of the animal, via different communication networks, such as the Internet, the Minitel or even the telephone, can consult the medical file, but cannot modify it,
- les vétérinaires praticiens, via différents réseaux de communication, tels que Internet, le Minitel ou encore le téléphone, peuvent consulter et modifier tous les dossiers médi- eaux des animaux de compagnie, dont ils assurent le suivi médical à titre habituel dans leur clinique,- practicing veterinarians, via different communication networks, such as the Internet, Minitel or even the telephone, can consult and modify all the medical records of pet animals, which they provide medical monitoring on a regular basis in their clinic,
- les vétérinaires praticiens, via différents réseaux de communication, tels que Internet, le Minitel ou encore le téléphone, peuvent consulter et modifier les dossiers médicaux des animaux, dont ils n'assurent pas le suivi médical à titre habituel, seulement après accord du propriétaire de l'animal, lequel leur communique le code d'identification.- veterinary practitioners, via different communication networks, such as the Internet, Minitel or even the telephone, can consult and modify the medical records of animals, which they do not provide medical monitoring on a regular basis, only after the owner's agreement of the animal, which communicates the identification code to them.
L'enregistrement d'un animal de compagnie dans la base de données implique que le propriétaire de 1 ' animal de compagnie complète une fiche de renseignements puis l'expédie au gestionnaire de la base de données, en joignant à ce courrier le règlement d'une somme d'argent représentant les frais de création du dossier et le montant de 1 ' abonnement annuel au service . Les fiches de renseignements peuvent être saisies en ligne directe- ment par le propriétaire de l'animal, le règlement étant effectué également en ligne par transaction sécurisée.The registration of a pet in the database implies that the owner of the pet completes an information sheet and then sends it to the database manager, attaching to this mail the rules of a sum of money representing the costs of creating the file and the amount of the annual subscription to the service. The information sheets can be entered online directly by the owner of the animal, payment is also made online by secure transaction.
Lors de chaque visite médicale, le vétérinaire praticien remplit une fiche, dont le format est standard. Cette fiche est ensuite transmise, par courrier, par télécopie ou encore par courrier électronique au gestionnaire de la base de données, qui procède à la mise à jour du dossier dans la base de données.During each medical visit, the practicing veterinarian fills out a form, the format of which is standard. This sheet is then transmitted, by mail, by fax or by e-mail to the database manager, who updates the file in the database.
Avantageusement, la création ou la mise à jour du dossier médical peut être effectuée "en ligne", le vétérinaire pra- ticien créant ou modifiant directement le dossier médical au moyen d'un équipement informatique connecté à un réseau de communication du type Internet ou Minitel .Advantageously, the creation or updating of the medical file can be carried out "online", the practicing veterinarian directly creating or modifying the medical file by means of computer equipment connected to a communication network of the Internet or Minitel type. .
Outre les différents modes de consultation et/ou de modification du dossier médical précédemment décrits, le ges- tionnaire de la base de données procure les services complémentaires suivants :In addition to the different modes of consultation and / or modification of the medical file described above, the database manager provides the following additional services:
- expédition à chaque nouveau client d'un badge destiné à être attaché au collier de l'animal de compagnie, et sur lequel figure le code d'identification de son dossier médical. Ainsi, un animal perdu portant ce badge peut non seulement être identifié et restitué à son propriétaire, mais également recevoir les soins les plus appropriés de la part de n ' importe quel vétérinaire praticien ayant pu préalablement consulter son dossier médical grâce à la lecture du code d'identification inscrit sur le badge,- dispatch to each new customer of a badge intended to be attached to the collar of the pet, and on which appears the identification code of his medical file. Thus, a lost animal wearing this badge can not only be identified and returned to its owner, but also receive the most appropriate care from any veterinary practitioner who has previously been able to consult his medical file by reading the code identification written on the badge,
- rappels, par courriers (courrier postal et/ou courrier électronique) adressés au propriétaire de l'animal de compagnie, des dates importantes (rappel de vaccination, visite de contrôle, retrait de fils chirurgicaux...), - expédition annuelle par courrier du dossier médical mis à jour de l'animal, sous un format papier,- reminders, by post (postal and / or electronic mail) addressed to the owner of the pet, important dates (vaccination reminder, inspection visit, removal of surgical threads ...), - annual shipment by post the updated medical record of the animal, in paper format,
- expédition aux vétérinaires praticiens de rapports d'activité contenant des données statistiques utiles pour la bonne gestion de leur clinique vétérinaire (pourcentage de visi- tes ventilées par type de pathologie, par type de prestation... ) ,- dispatch to veterinary practitioners of activity reports containing statistical data useful for the proper management of their veterinary clinic (percentage of visits broken down by type of pathology, by type of service, etc.),
- possibilité pour les vétérinaires praticiens d'adhérer à des forums de discussion réservés à leur profession, de consulter des revues de presse vétérinaire . D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description de variantes de réalisation de l'invention, données à titre d'exemple indicatif et non limitatif, et de la figure 1 qui représente la collecte et la diffusion des données médicales des animaux de compagnie .- possibility for veterinary practitioners to join discussion forums reserved for their profession, to consult veterinary press reviews.
