When a reply is made, an apparatus that has recently made a reply and an apparatus that has made a reply before are identified with reference to the history storage unit 17. When the apparatuses are portable terminals 40 and also a medical worker having the portable terminal 40 that has made a reply does not coincide with a medical worker having the portable terminal 40 that has made a reply before, the name of the medical worker carrying the portable terminal 40 that has made a reply before and the contact information on the portable terminal 40 are displayed in a display unit 46, so that the medical worker who has made a reply does not need to inspect the name and contact destination of the medical worker who has made a reply before in establishing contact with the medical worker who has made a reply before.
