Process for the central recording of examination

results

Pie invention relates to a method for central detection of examination results, which are in the individual Unterouchungsstation together with the identification data, e.g. scanned or read, and transmitted to the central office and in the case of the implementation of the procedure e.g. in the Application for a medical-technical examination a 3 Patients are given several identical identification tags or identical identification tags in groups before the start of the examinations, which are attached to the findings or the interruption container in the further course of the examinations.

The problem with such methods is the results to identify the individual examinations with a uniform key, which also includes the Should have the property of being machine-readable.

E3 is known, e.g. for examining people in Hospitals to prepare a punch card for each patient. This punch card, created once, bears the patient's data, e.g. name, date of birth, apartment and place of residence as well as the time of posting. Furthermore - if necessary also for statistical purposes - data that relate to the gender of the person concerned or to any refer to another special feature β. This punch card has

but the property that they only determined from gana Machines can be read that they must also have a certain minimum size and that they are made of a V / Erkatoff exists, which in many cases is not resistant to the media to which the samples to be examined must be exposed. While e.g. a punch card is attached to a finding on a DIN A4 sheet can only be attached, there are already difficulties when this punch card is now on a Test tube on a microscope slide for microscopic postings or to be attached to an X-ray film. The second difficulty is that the punch cards must now be entered again with this finding or together with the samples in a device and only then centrally can be detected. From the delivery to the hospital and the creation of the punch card to the recording of the whole The results of the investigation are therefore numerous quite different work processes "that run the risk of confusion increase, this risk is also increased by the fact that the punch cards are also inserted differently in certain readers can be, ao that they can also be read backwards.

The task was therefore to evaluate the individual test results immediately and to report them to a central point and above all in that the individual examinations are also clearly and therefore unmistakably one to be assigned to certain patients, for example.

In a method of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that these identification data carriers consist of a flexible punched tape whose identifier is designed and arranged such that the Inputs or arrangements to appropriately adapted recording devices on the examination devices or containers only possible if the identification data carrier is in the correct position are.

You can also use it to be safer and faster! Detection of samples the sample carriers have an adapter.

Different identification data carriers can also use the identifier regularly Fix at a defined reading point. In addition, the reading can in each case using a similar coding take place.

Substrate and information carriers that are available in very different sizes can also be used for people and diversely shaped substrates and are subject to very different processing steps, a constant identifier must be used.

Invention "UnterDUchungsgerät" is a term which it is to be put forward in a suppurative manner. If the patient wants to have a MiG done by himself, the EKG device can be set in such a way that he can only switch on the EKG device with his patient key, and when the EICG is written, this device itself is on a receiving device in front of which the sheet with the heart curve is pressed at an edge point, and the patient sticks his identification data carrier on this pressed-in point. The indentations are such that the identification data carrier can only be stuck on in a certain position.

Test tubes are common for pure urine tests, and this can have an adapter made of plastic and into which the test tube can be inserted. On the outside of the plastic, elevations are provided which protrude through corresponding holes in the identification data carrier and in turn are arranged such that the identification data carrier can only be arranged in a certain position.

The advantage is that every finding, every sample etc. is provided with the same identification data carrier that can be read without difficulty by appropriately adapted machines can be and which then deliver the results of the examination together with these characteristics to a control center, which after completion writes a report of all examinations so that the patient or the doctor treating further can see whether all examinations o.B. or whether a certain examination showed a pathological phenomenon.

Such examinations are essentially as preventive examinations thought because it can be achieved more quickly and inexpensively without great effort.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below.

In Pig. 1 is denoted by 1 a flexible punched tape, which has a perforation in each case at 2 sum adjacent punched tape through which the holes, strips are easily separable from each other. A slightly smaller perforation is arranged asymmetrically on the punched tape and defines the reading direction of the punched tape. It is also conceivable to create a possibility through certain types of perforations between the perforations so that the punched tape can only be arranged and read in one direction in the relevant recording devices, e.g. through the punched holes 4. The other> e.g. 5 marked holes on the Identification data carriers 1 are data from the patient, for example.

Pig. 2 shows a sample, for example in the form of a test tube 6. This test tube 6 is surrounded by a plastic sleeve 7 that is difficult to move.
