Each of these organizations has a computer, these computers are connected by a communication line, a medical institution database 1a and a first aid database 1b are built in the computer of the management center, and an emergency tag issuing device 1c is installed in the management center 1. Place. A reading device 4a is arranged in each ambulance 4 of the fire department 2, and a medical database 3 is provided in each of the medical institutions 3, 7, and 8.
a, 7a, and 8a are respectively constructed, and the reading devices 3b, 7
b and 8b are respectively arranged.

The medical databases 3a, 7a, and 8a of the medical institutions 3, 7, and 8 collectively record medical data relating to each patient, and each patient has a name, telephone number, address, and special constitution of the patient. It records medical data such as presence / absence, medical history, medical examination records, medical treatment records, and first aid data on patients who have seizures. First aid data for patients who have seizures include the name of the pre-existing disease causing the seizure, the symptoms the patient represents in the seizure, the subject of the medical institution to be transported, the name of the equipment if special equipment is required for treatment, If the patient should be treated urgently or should never be treated, the contents may be considered. Symptoms that a patient presents in a seizure include information about the patient's breathing, pulse, heartbeat, fever, awareness, bleeding from the mouth, salivation, incontinence, suffering, etc. If there are minor, severe, dangerous, etc. stages, record each stage.

[0012] Medical subjects of medical institutions to be transported include, for example, major classifications such as internal medicine and surgery if the patient's seizure is mild, and neurology, respiratory medicine and gastroenterology if the patient's seizure is severe. If multiple classes are required at the stage where a seizure is dangerous, such as cardiology or other departments, if multiple classes are required at the same time, such as neurology and neurosurgery, pulmonology and respiratory surgery, etc. Record. Medical database 3a, 7a, 8a of each medical institution 3, 7, 8
Is inaccessible from other medical institutions, except that it is accessible from other medical institutions that constitute the emergency medical network, via the computer of the management center 1, and patient identification code. Is input, only the patient record having the identification number can be accessed.

The medical institution database 1a of the computer of the management center 1 includes data such as the name, address, telephone number, medical treatment subject of each medical institution, and the name of the equipment when special equipment is provided for each medical institution. Database. For medical departments, medical institutions that provide medical services in large categories, such as internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics, include large categories such as neurology, respiratory, gastroenterology, cardiology, neurosurgery, respiratory surgery, and heart. In the case of a medical institution that provides medical treatment in small categories such as vascular surgery, pediatric surgery, and anesthesiology, a small classification is recorded. If a general hospital has a plurality of medical subjects, a plurality of medical subjects are recorded.

The emergency tag issuing device 1 of the management center 1
Reference numeral c denotes a device for issuing an emergency tag to the user 5, which is a type that encodes emergency treatment data and prints and records it on the emergency tag as two-dimensional code information. Then, a reading device 4a arranged in each ambulance 4 of the fire organization 2 and a reading device 3b, 7b arranged in each medical institution 3,
8b has a function of reading the code information printed on the rescue tag and reconverting the code information into rescue treatment data. The first-aid tag to be issued may be a card-type first-aid tag 9a and may be carried in a wallet or the like, but is not limited thereto. The format is not limited as long as it is easy for the user 5 to carry, such as a rescue worker or a nurse.

The emergency medical network is configured as described above, and its operation will be described below. When the doctor examines a patient and determines that there is a possibility of having a seizure in the medical institution 3, 7, 8, the emergency treatment data is provided to the patient together with the information to that effect. As described above, the first aid data includes the name of the chronic disease causing the attack, the symptoms represented by the patient in the attack, the medical care subject to be transported,
If special equipment is required for the treatment, the name of the equipment, the urgent treatment of the patient, and the content of any urgent treatment that may not be required. Although there is a method of printing and delivering the emergency processing data on a document, it is preferable to record and deliver the data on a floppy (registered trademark) disk or the like from a request of strict confidentiality. Furthermore, if the data is converted and recorded by a special program, others cannot easily read the recorded data, which is preferable in terms of confidentiality.

[0016] When a patient who is notified of a pre-existing medical condition causing an attack and is provided with first aid data decides to register in the emergency medical network, he / she makes an application to the management center 1 at his / her own will. Management center 1 that received the application
Assigns an identification code to each user 5 and issues an emergency tag to each user 5. In the emergency tag, the identification code, name, telephone number, address, name of the medical institution, telephone number, address and emergency processing data of the user 5 are recorded.
At this time, it is convenient to print a photograph of the user's face on the emergency tag or to input the photograph as face photograph data to confirm the identity of the user. In addition, an emergency treatment database 1b in which the data recorded in the rescue tag is recorded for each user 5 in the computer is provided when it is necessary to reissue the rescue tag.

Next, how to use the information recorded in the database and the rescue tag will be described.
When the user 5 has a seizure and is unconscious, in most cases he will call the ambulance 4. The rescue squad rushed by the ambulance 4 applies the rescue tag held by the user to the reader 4a and reads the recorded data. First, the symptom and the degree of the seizure represented by the user 5 who has seizure are compared with data described on the rescue tag and confirmed. Then, the user looks at the address of the hanging medical institution 3 recorded on the rescue tag and, if nearby, contacts and transports the contact. Medical institution 3
If you should not be taken to the medical institution 3 such as if you are far away, if you are absent from the doctor at absence, or if the degree of seizures is too much for the medical institution 3 to be able to handle, The medical institution database 1a of the computer of the center 1 is accessed to obtain data of a medical institution suitable for transport.

The search for the medical institution is performed by using, as keywords, the description of the medical care subject of the medical institution to be transported and the name of the special equipment necessary for the treatment in the emergency treatment data recorded on the emergency tag. For example, as long as the seizure of the user 5 is mild and "Medical in case of mild" is described in the medical department to be conveyed, the patient 5 may be taken to any medical institution if it is an internal medicine. Therefore, the nearest medical institution 7 is selected and contacted and transported. Next, if the seizure of the user 5 is severe, "if severe, respiratory medicine" is described in the medical department to be transported, and if there is a description of special equipment required for treatment, The nearest medical institution 8 is selected from the medical institution which has a respiratory internal medicine as a medical department and has the special equipment described further, and is contacted there and transported.
Furthermore, if the user's seizure is dangerous and the medical department to be transported is described as `` If severe, respiratory medicine, respiratory surgery '', both the respiratory medicine and respiratory surgery should be included in the medical care The nearest medical institution 8 is selected from the medical institutions having the above, and contacted and transported there.

When a user is carried into a medical institution that does not hang up, the carried-in medical institution 8 applies the rescue tag held by the user to the reader 8b, reads out the recorded data, and identifies the user. Check the sign. Then, the computer of the medical institution 3 is called via the computer of the management center 1, the identification code of the user is input, and the medical data of the patient is extracted from the medical database 3a.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which data obtained by converting data into a two-dimensional code is printed as a rescue tag. Alternatively, a method of recording data on a magnetic recording card, an IC memory card, or the like may be employed. Also, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the case of an IC memory card or the like, it is possible to record even more information, for example, the presence / absence of a special constitution, a medical history, a test record, a treatment record, and the like. The user's personal information can be obtained. However, in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to privacy protection by limiting in advance who can read information from the rescue tag, and ensuring that only those who have a duty of confidentiality perform the reading operation.

Another embodiment in which the government relates to an emergency medical network will be described. The administration was originally involved as a fire service, but this is not the case. Since the provision of emergency medical information is highly public, it is possible that the government may be involved as a management center. In addition, if there is a reluctance for the administration to perform all of the management center from the viewpoint of aiming for a small administration, it is conceivable that the administration center may be involved as a geriatric medical service or a disabled person service, which is considered particularly necessary. When the government 6 is involved as part of the medical services for the elderly and the services for the disabled, the reception of such services as receiving applications for persons who are older than a predetermined age or for persons who have been certified as disabled and applying to the government official center. It may be possible to take part in acting on behalf of the subject, or to pay for the cost depending on the usage status of the target person.

[0022]

According to the present invention, an emergency medical network comprising a management center, a firefighting organization and a medical institution is formed, a patient having a high possibility of having an attack is registered, and an emergency tag is added in advance. For this reason, when the user has a seizure and is unconscious, for example, the rushing rescue worker can easily read out the information recorded in the emergency tag and identify and transport the medical institution to which he / she is attached. If the medical institution to which the patient hangs is not suitable as an emergency transport destination, access the medical institution database of the computer at the management center and select the medical institution to be transported from the emergency processing data recorded on the emergency tag. Of medical facilities and special equipment necessary for treatment as keywords, obtain data on medical institutions suitable for transport, and find medical institutions that are closest to the user's location and are most suitable for emergency treatment It was possible to transport users to

In addition, information on what should be treated urgently or should not be treated when a user has a seizure is read from an emergency tag, and emergency rescue workers and users who rushed by an ambulance are carried in. It has become easier for doctors at medical institutions to give first aid without hesitation. In addition, if the medical device is carried to a medical institution other than the medical institution, the identification code is read from the emergency tag held by the user, and the computer is connected to the computer of the medical institution via the management center computer. Access and enter the user's identification code, obtain information about the user that is urgently needed, and immediately take appropriate emergency rescue without having to take another radiograph or blood test. The treatment could be done.

In addition, the disadvantage that the privacy of the patient cannot be protected by the method of recording the medical information of the patient on the patient's medical card is eliminated, and the emergency tag includes information on the user and the medical institution associated with the emergency. The privacy of patients can be protected by restricting only the information necessary for the procedure to the rescue tags and restricting access to the rescue tags to emergency medical personnel and medical staff. In addition, by creating an environment in which people with pre-existing diseases and elderly people who have seizures can live a social life with peace of mind, each has their own work, and each has a society where they can do what they want. I was able to live a healthy life both physically and mentally.
