An order storage unit 210 stores an order for a medical practice to be performed using an endoscopic system. A control unit 240 transmits an order to the endoscopic system via a communication line 400 and also transmits device setting information linked to at least one of a doctor and a medical practice type specified by the order. When the control unit 240 receives a notification of a change from the endoscopic system while the medical practice specified by the order is being performed, the control unit transmits new device setting information corresponding to the change to the endoscopic system.
