FIGURE 5.3
Basic concepts and attributes related to patients.
In this figure, dark softly-colored rounded rectangles denote concepts,
and pink rounded rectangles denote attributes. In general, pink rounded
rectangles in diagrams on semantic editor denote properties. In this chap-
ter, we classify properties between concepts into attributes of concepts and
relations between concepts. The concept [patient] has attributes {blood
type}, {sex}, {name}, {birth}, where we describe a concept by brackets and
labels and an attribute by angle brackets and labels. The values of these
attributes are supposed to be basically eternal for one patient.
In defining quality indicators, it is often useful to classify patients from
the viewpoint of assessment of medical service quality. The following
diagram classifies patients by the aspects of states of pregnancy and child-
birth, a grown process, a degree of psychosomatic disorder, and positions
as hospital staffs.
A “+” mark in the diagram of Figure 5.4 denotes that there are sub-
diagrams from the concepts (dark rounded rectangles) with “+” marks,
