[3] Operation of Device The procedure of the reservation process in this device will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 to 11. The processing device (CPU 1) of the present invention first determines an available time zone for a medical examination device by securing an inspection technician who can operate the medical examination device (reservation). Frame determination process). Then, the device for which the reservation has been input is reserved within the reservable time period (reservation process).
In this reservation process, reservations for medical examination equipment necessary for general outpatient examinations and reservations for medical examination courses are given as input data.

[3-1] Reservation Frame Determining Process Reference is made to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9. In this process, the time zone in which the medical examination equipment can be reserved in a day is set. First, in step S1, the use start time and use end time (usable time zone) of the day are read from the use date / time file of a certain medical testing device, and the inspection with the highest priority from the device file of the medical testing device is read. The technician name is read, and the workable time zone is read from the technician file of the inspection technician name.

For simplification of explanation, it is assumed that the read-out available time zone of the medical examination equipment and the workable time zone of the examination technician are stored in each file in units of one hour. For example, 9: 00-10: 00, 10: 00-11: 00
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ 16:00 -17: 00. The leading number of the available time is i, the available time zone of the medical testing equipment is THi, and the available time zone of the laboratory technician is MHi, and THi and MHi are matched. Then, the inspection technician (engineer with the highest priority) is assigned to the available time zone of the matched medical inspection device.

In step S2, it is determined whether or not the already set information has been registered in the storage location of the technician file of the assigned technician in the working hours. If the set information is registered, the process jumps to step S5, and it is determined whether or not there is an inspection engineer having the next priority from the device file. If it exists, the process proceeds to step S6. The next-ranked engineer is assigned (the same process as step S1), and the process returns to step S2.

In this loop processing, all the technicians are assigned, and if all the technicians have already been set, it is determined that the technicians cannot be assigned (temporary setting information is not registered in step S4 described later). Then, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S9, and the time zone is processed as being unreservable. If it is determined in step S2 that the set information is not registered, the next step S3
Proceed to.

In step S3, the total work time of the assigned technician in each time zone is calculated, and the average work time in each time zone (already set in the technician file of each technician is registered. The average work time) is calculated and compared to determine whether the total work time is longer than the average work time. When it is determined that the total work time is less than the average work time, the process jumps to step S10 to register the set information in the storage location of the corresponding technician file in the corresponding time zone, and at the same time (reservable time zone and Registered) and the name of the technician concerned are registered in the corresponding items in the device reservation file (decision of reservation frame).

When it is determined that the total work time is longer than the average work time, the process proceeds to step S4, the temporary setting information is registered in the technician file of the time zone, and the time zone (reservable time zone) and the inspection concerned. Register the technician name and the corresponding items in the device reservation file. This indicates that it may be updated in later processing. continue,
In step S5, it is determined whether there is a next-ranked technician who can operate the medical examination device. Allocate and return to step S2.

If the time zone of the next-ranked technician is not set (if it is vacant), the procedure proceeds to step S3 and the total work time of the next technician when the next-ranked technician is assigned and the above average. The work times are compared to determine whether the total work time is greater than the average work time. When it is determined that the number is small, the process jumps to step S10 to register the set information in the next-ranked technician file of the time zone, and to register the time-zone and the next-ranked inspection technician name in the corresponding item of the device reservation file. To do. That is, the inspection technician name once registered in step S4 is deleted from the device reservation file, and the next-ranked inspection technician name is newly registered.
In addition, the temporary setting information registered in the relevant time zone of the deleted technician is also deleted.

By carrying out such a processing, adjustment for equalizing the work load of the inspection engineer is performed. If there is no substitute technician, the reservation frame is determined by the technician name that was registered in step S4 (steps S7 and S8).

When the reservation frame is determined by the above series of processing, it is determined in step S11 whether or not the processing of determining the reserved time zone of all the medical testing equipment is completed, and if not, step S1.
Then, the process for determining the reservation frame for the next medical examination device is repeated.

[3-2] Reservation processing of medical examination equipment required for general outpatient examination First, information for making a reservation is input from the keyboard 2 of the computer terminal 4. The information includes (a) the inspection device number of the medical inspection device to be reserved, (b) the date when the inspection device is used, (c) the required inspection time, (d) the desired time zone (the desired start time and Specify the desired end time). When the CPU 1 inputs these pieces of information, the process proceeds according to the flowchart of FIG.

The device reservation file of the input use date is read out, and it is checked whether or not the reservable time period is set within the input desired reservation time period. If so, the earliest time A band is searched (step T1, step T2). As a result of the search, if the corresponding time zone cannot be found (if the reservable time zone is not set within the desired reservation time zone), the process proceeds to step T10, and the reservation table format (information indicating the reservation status is added later). (Stored in the process) is displayed on the monitor display 3 of the computer terminal 4 to prompt the setting of a new desired reservation time zone. If there is a corresponding time zone, the process proceeds to step T3.

In step T3, the inspection end time is calculated by adding the required inspection time input above to the start time of the retrieved reservable time zone. Then, in step T4, it is determined whether or not the calculated inspection end time is within the reservable time period. For example, (1) Suppose that the desired time slot for reservation is 10:00 to 12:00, and you want to reserve an inspection time of 30 minutes within this time slot. Within the time period from 10:00 to 12:00, the reservation-enabled time period from 10:00 to 11:00 and from 11:00
If the reservation time zone of 12:00 is set, 10:00
~ The bookable time zone of 11:00 is searched, and the required inspection time of 30 minutes is added to this start time of 10:00. Then, it is determined whether or not 10:30 is within the retrieved available reservation time slot. In this example, it is determined to be present and the process proceeds to the next step T5.

In step T5, it is determined whether the calculated inspection end time is within the desired time zone. For example, in the case of (1) above, if the required inspection time is one and a half hours, and the retrieved reservable time period is from 11:00 to 13:00, the calculated inspection end time 12:00 is It is within the reservation time, but not within the desired time. In such a case, the process proceeds to step T10 and the reservation status table is displayed as described above. If the inspection end time is within the reservable time zone and the desired time zone, the process proceeds to step T6.

In step T6, the start time of the reservable time zone searched above and the calculated inspection end time are stored in the items of the reservation start time and the reservation end time of the device reservation file, and in the reservation status table format. Also stores that information.

Further, as another example, (2) the desired reservation time period is from 10:00 to 12:00, the required inspection time is one and a half hours, and the retrieved reservation possible time period is from 11:00 to 12:00. If it is, it is 12:30 which is one and a half hours added to the reservation start time
Is calculated, and it is determined that this time is not within the reservable time zone, and step T4
To step T7 and subsequent steps.

In step T7, it is searched whether the reservable time zone is set after the inspection end time. the above
In the example of (2), the reservation available time zone after 12:30 is searched. If it is determined in step T8 that there is no applicable reservable time zone, the process proceeds to step T10 to display the reservation status table, and if there is a reservable time zone, the process proceeds to step T9.

In step T9, the start time of the retrieved reservable time zone is replaced with the "earliest time" in steps T1 and T2, and the process returns to step T3.
Then, the processes of steps T3, T4 and T5 are executed, and if the inspection end time is within the reservable time zone searched here and within the desired time zone, the process of step T6 is executed. That is, the processes of steps T3 to T5 are performed for the next earliest reserved time zone, not for the earliest reserved time zone in the desired time zone.

[3-3] Reservation Processing of Medical Examination Equipment Required for Medical Examination Course First, information for making a reservation is input from the keyboard 2 of the computer terminal 4. The information includes (a) the medical examination course number to be reserved, and (b) the medical examination course reservation date. When the CPU 1 inputs these pieces of information, the process proceeds according to the flowchart of FIG.

In step U1, first, the medical examination file corresponding to the medical examination course number input above is read out, and the device group number stored in the file is read out. Then, the device group file corresponding to the read device group number is read, and the medical examination device number stored in the file is read. Next, a device for which a reservation has not been set is retrieved from the read medical examination devices.

In step U2, the desired time zone of device utilization stored in the medical examination file is read out for the unspecified medical examination device initially searched above, and the process proceeds to step U3 and subsequent steps. The processing after step U3 is the same as the processing after step T1 in the flowchart of FIG. 10 showing the [3-2] reservation processing of the medical examination equipment necessary for general outpatient examination, and will be briefly described below. ..

That is, (a) the device reservation file of the medical examination device according to the inputted reservation date is read out, and the earliest time zone in which the medical examination device can be reserved within the read desired time zone is searched. To do. (B) If the required inspection time is added to the start time of the retrieved reservable time zone to calculate the inspection end time, and the inspection end time is within the reservable time zone and within the desired time zone The start time of the reservation start time zone is set as the reservation start time, the inspection end time is set as the reservation end time, and the information indicating that the reservation is entered is temporarily registered in the reservation table format. Put (step U3 ~ U
8). This is because in the case of a medical examination course, it is necessary to make a reservation for all medical examination equipment, and if you cannot make a reservation for even one, the medical examination course itself cannot be reserved,
In step U13, a tentative reservation is made until the reservation of necessary equipment is completed.

(C) The series of processes described above is a process of deciding whether or not to make a reservation in the earliest reservable time zone searched in the desired time zone. If the inspection end time exceeds the reservable time zone in the process of (b), the next earliest time reservation time zone (this is the second reservation time zone) is searched and the second reservation is made. If the required inspection time is added to the start time of the time zone, so to speak, the second inspection end time is calculated, and if the second inspection end time is within the desired time zone,
Make a tentative reservation during the second reservation time zone (steps U9 to U1)
1).

(D) If there is no examination end time within the desired time zone, the flow advances to step U12 to display on the monitor display 3 that reservation of the medical examination course is impossible. If there is an inspection end time in the desired zone, step U13
Then, it is judged whether or not the reservations for all the necessary devices have been completed, and the processing of this flowchart is repeated. Upon completion, the reservation of the medical examination course is decided at the reserved time which is temporarily registered in step U8 (step U14).

[0041]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the apparatus of the first aspect of the present invention, the time zone in which the medical technician is assigned can be reserved among the time zones in which the medical inspection equipment can be used. Since I made a reservation for medical testing equipment during that time, there will always be an inspection technician who operates it during the time when the medical inspection equipment is reserved, so there will be no trouble in the absence of a technician. You can make a device reservation. Further, according to the device of the second invention, the use time of each medical examination device required for the medical examination course is compared with the available time zone of each medical examination apparatus to reserve the medical examination course. Since the procedure is performed, it is possible to make a reservation for the medical examination course in a state where there is no trouble such as that the device used in the medical examination course is being used for the outpatient examination.
