It is easy to use.

1 is a block diagram of a patient location management system in a hospital according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, since the accompanying drawings are only preferred embodiments exemplified by those skilled in the art to more easily understand the present invention, the scope of the present invention is limited by the accompanying drawings. no.

Intra-hospital patient position management system according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, is composed of a patient monitor 10 and the position detection sensor 20, the nurse monitor 30 and the server 40.

First, the patient monitor 10 is carried by each patient, and includes an RFID tag 11, an LCD display 12, and an alarm device 13, if necessary, each having a unique ID. , Necklace type, belt type, etc. can be configured in various ways. In addition, the RFID tag 11 is preferably a small passive type.

As is well known, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a next-generation near field recognition technology that can recognize and manage information of various objects through IC chip and wireless. In other words, RFID is a technology that allows a small IC chip to be embedded in a desired object so that it can be tracked by radio frequency. It is called 'electronic tag', 'smart tag', 'electronic label' or 'wireless identification'. RFID has emerged as a next generation recognition technology that will replace bar codes generally used for goods management in the distribution field.

In general, RFID is composed of a reader and a tag providing information, and may be integrated with an information system in connection with a satellite or a mobile communication network. In addition, readers can read up to hundreds of RFID tag-ready items per second, and when applied to large discount stores, the price of goods can be counted as soon as they pass through the cash register, thus saving labor and time. There is. RFID can be used for other purposes such as theft and copy protection, and can be used for library books.

Next, the position sensor 20 is installed in various places in a hospital building such as a patient bed or a hospital floor, a corridor, a door, a toilet, a tag reader 21 for detecting an ID of the RFID tag 11, and the tag. It consists of a wireless LAN 22 connected to the reader 21. The WLAN 22 transmits the ID of the RFID tag 11 received by the tag reader 21 to the server 40.
