Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring the reprocessing of mobile patient carriers such as beds, stretcher, lifts, wheelchairs and roilators for use in the clinical sector such as hospitals, acute care clinics, rehab clinics, nursing homes and other facilities where increased hygiene offered and the preparation, ie the cleaning and disinfection required by mobile patient carriers.
- Beds are used for various purposes in the clinical field. While a bed for a patient's medical history and diagnosis is often in the form of a couch, is used only at short notice, and often requires only minor cleaning or paper change between patients, prolonged or permanent admission and / or treatment of a patient - Beds used, which are defined by law as a medical device and thus subject to high and strict hygiene standards, which are regulated by law.
- Beds in the hospital area generally fall into three categories that determine bed infection status: 1. "bed clean”, i.e., sanitized, prepared and re-used for a new patient according to current regulations - 2. "bed unclean” i. after use by a patient without any risk of infection waiting for the disinfection and treatment - and 3rd In Stammionsbett "ie after use by a patient with a proven infection and thus an increased risk of infection for the next patient, for personnel of the medical facility and for visitors to the disinfection and processing waiting.
- Infection beds should be able to be marked clearly and confusingly in order to to initiate safety measures and to be able to carry out a treatment process that is adapted to the high degree of danger and prescribed, including starting appropriate occupational health and safety measures for the personnel.
- H IV human immunodeficiency virus
- HPV Human Papillomavirus
- norovirus or by aerogenic transmission such.
- influenza viruses or Ebola can also be transmitted, which of course also requires a specific disinfection process in order to minimize the risk of transmission. Mistakes in the reprocessing process of a potential infirmary bed can thus have serious consequences for patients, hospital staff and visitors.
- the increased number of diseases due to hospital-associated infection leads to a prolongation of a patient's stay, to a decline in quality of life and to a significant increase in healthcare costs;
- the availability of hospital beds and medical care is also negatively affected. Last but not least, this leads to an increased risk for the respective medical institution against claims for damages by affected patients / hospital staff / visitors. Likewise, the reputation of the affected hospital suffers.
- impure hospital beds are collected in designated premises, decentralized (on ward) or centrally (bed central), for later reprocessing / disinfection .
- unclean beds remain in the treatment area at the station concerned until they are transported or are "parked” in corridors or other freely accessible areas of the hospital, where it is obvious that all unclean beds and especially infectious beds must be permanently and confusingly marked.
- the lack of a clear identification mark of an unclean and in particular of an infective bed can lead to infection beds being mixed with normally soiled beds in one room, thus creating the risk that infectious beds will not be recognized and will not be "rendered harmless" by the disinfectants prescribed for infectious beds become.
- the bed preparation department can not set the required exposure time of the respective prescribed disinfectant, which is necessary so that the respective germ can be completely killed.
- Infection beds can therefore also preferably be marked according to the type of infectious agent / pathogen, so that both the disinfectant and the exposure time can be maintained accordingly in the treatment process. If the nature of the risk of infection is not specified, then the default process should always start with the "worst case", ie assume the highest risk.
- the invention provides a method for monitoring the preparation of mobile patient carriers. First, the infection status of a mobile patient used by the patient carrier in a database of a computer system. This mobile patient wearer may also be identified at a reprocessing station by identifying a tag attached to the mobile patient wearer with a data reader. At the reprocessing station, a message is then issued about the infection status of the mobile patient carrier.
- the infection status can for example be recorded as “pure”, "normally impure”, or as "infectious patient carrier.” It is also possible, especially in the case of the "infectious patient carrier", to specify the type of pathogen, for example.
- Reprocessing which can then take place and is prescribed by law between one patient and another, depends on the degree of contamination and potential risk of infection. Depending on the infection status, the effectiveness and duration of the disinfectant should be selected.
- lists of disinfectants prescribed by law the RKI and VAH lists, are used.
- the preparation process always includes the steps of cleaning and disinfecting the mobile patient support.
- One such monitoring according to the invention offers, inter alia, the advantage that the person responsible for processing always receives an indication of the infection status of the patient carrier.
- the safety of this person is ensured, since, according to the infection status, e.g. by wearing protective clothing (PPE) and, on the other hand, complying with the legislation prescribed by the legislator in order to prevent the spread of potential pathogens.
- PPE protective clothing
- the infection status is detected with a data reader, wherein the detection by means of the identification of an attached on the mobile patient support identification mark is carried out by the data reader. Either the infection status is automatically recorded in the database by identifying, or the infection status is entered manually before or after identification. The type of infection risk can be entered manually later in the database.
- the detection of the infection status may, for example, be carried out by the doctor responsible for the treatment, the nurse and / or the reprocessing personnel, whereby the respective person may himself also have a further identification mark.
- identifying a personal identification tag before or after detecting the infectious Onsstatus continue to have proof of the decision of the respective responsible physician, the responsible nurse and / or the responsible reprocessing staff.
- the detection of the infection status further leads, for example, to an automatic message for fetching and / or processing the mobile patient carrier, e.g. to the collection and delivery service or the processing staff.
- An embodiment in which the detection of the infection status is carried out automatically with a data reader offers the advantage that, in contrast to a manual input, the detection takes place with a single simple step of identification and is correspondingly less error-prone.
- a bundle of data / information to the mobile patient wearer may be generated and stored, for example, in the database, such as executive personnel, location of the mobile patient wearer, time and action taken, and treatment step. For example, a doctor, a nurse and / or the reprocessing personnel with a data reader in the embodiment of a scanning device with an action both detect the infection status of the mobile patient carrier and cause a notification for collection and / or treatment.
- the infection status can be recorded by a manual input, possibly after request and / or afterwards.
- the infection status of the mobile patient wearer if it is an infectious bed / an infectious patient wearer, be changeable only after completion of the preparation. This has the advantage that accidental interim identification of the mobile patient wearer's badge and / or omission of required cleanup steps does not result in a change in the infection status of the mobile patient wearer and is not inadvertently made available for reuse for a new patient.
- the mobile patient carrier has at least two identification marks which are assigned to different infection statuses, for example "normally unclean" and "infective patient carrier".
- the data reader identifies one of the at least two identification marks, namely the one associated with the present infection status.
- the infection status of the mobile patient carrier can thus be detected in the database of the computer system that the corresponding identification tag is identified with the data reader, that is, for example, in the event of a normal malfunction.
- mobile patient carriers cleaned the first identification mark, in the case of an infectious mobile patient carrier the second identification mark.
- the various tags are further designed to visually indicate the infection status. These are designed, for example, in different colors, have a different pattern or are attached to a characterizing the infection status part of the mobile patient support.
- One embodiment which has different identification marks, has, inter alia, the advantage that it is possible to differentiate between different degrees of contamination and / or infectiousness when detecting the infection status.
- 3, 4, 5 or even more different identifiers may be provided for each corresponding infection status.
- a visual design offers the advantage that an accidental identification of the wrong identification mark is prevented.
- an embodiment is particularly preferred in which a once detected infection status of the mobile patient support is retrieved, regardless of which identification tag attached to the mobile patient support is identified at a later time.
- Identifying one of the identifiers of the mobile patient wearer should, for example, at a reprocessing station always retrieve the detected infection status of the mobile patient wearer as information for the responsible reprocessing personnel. This has, inter alia, the advantage that there is no doubt about the infection status, this is not influenced by further identification of one of the identification marks of the mobile patient carrier and also saves time, for example, in the acceptance at a reprocessing station, because that with the detected infection status It is not necessary to first search for the correct identification mark of the mobile patient carrier.
- a once detected infection status of the mobile patient wearer can be changed from "normal unclean” to "infection”, but not vice versa, regardless of which identification tag affixed to the mobile patient wearer is identified at a later time.
- the responsible physician, the responsible hospital Sister and / or the responsible treatment personnel manually in the system correct the infection status, for example, from "normal unclean" to "infection".
- the mobile patient carrier is often moved to a treatment station.
- Relocation is often carried out by a person responsible for the collection and / or preparation of the mobile patient support, for example cleaning personnel or personnel of the in-house collection and delivery service, who may furthermore have a personal identification mark.
- the personal identification mark can be identified in order to confirm and register the pick-up and / or processing by the respective person.
- This has, inter alia, the advantage that, for example, the competent person can be asked about the current status of preparation or storage and / or if any problems or doubts about the mobile patient support after complete preparation, the person responsible for the preparation can be identified and asked , This also makes it easy to determine afterwards which persons had contact with the relevant patient carrier. This may be particularly important if, in hindsight, it turns out that the level of infection of the patient wearer has been rated too low, because e.g. multidrug-resistant germs in the environment of the patient carrier could be identified.
- the identifying of the identification mark can be done by radio and / or optically.
- the tag is identified with a data reader such as a mobile scanning device.
- the identifier is a barcode and the data reader accordingly a barcode reader.
- radio systems such. B. RFID can be used.
- the data reader is a mobile, hand-portable, cordless and / or battery or battery powered device that can acquire, transmit to, and / or retrieve data from the computer system via radio or leased or other transmission techniques the identifier is identified.
- the data reader may also be a mobile phone, smartphone or PDA.
- the advantage of using a mobile, hand-portable, cordless and / or battery-operated data reader is that such a data reader can be used, for example, on a hospital ward for several rooms and can be used by different people as needed.
- a data reader can be used, for example, on a hospital ward for several rooms and can be used by different people as needed.
- the automatic transmission of data between the data reader and the central computer system or the database can be carried out both immediately and with a time delay.
- a detectable registration can take place, which can also include the registration of sub-steps of the reprocessing process, which is particularly advantageous for both the administration from an organizational point of view and with respect to legally prescribed hygiene measures. Furthermore, it is advantageous, inter alia, that a data record can be generated with an indication of the infection status, which, possibly in graphic, optical, acoustic or other form, can give specific instructions in order to continue to guarantee safety.
- the location of the mobile patient wearer can also be recorded in the database, for example the room, the position of the bed in the room, the ward or the collection point where the mobile patient support is located.
- the location is detected by identifying a tag attached to the location or in the vicinity of the location with a data reader.
- This may be, for example, a room-mounted barcode that identifies the room in which the mobile patient support stands or the location in the room. Scanning such a barcode before or after identifying the mobile patient wearer thus captures the location of the mobile patient wearer in a database of a computer system to enable, for example, the location of the mobile patient wearer.
- the location is not necessarily a rest room for the patient, but can also be a treatment room, preparation room, storage room, delivery room or a "traffic area" such as parking positions in aisles, thus not only tracking the infection status but also the location of the mobile patient support become.
- the indication of the infection status of the mobile patient wearer that is issued after identifying the mobile patient wearer at the reprocessing station can, in a preferred embodiment, include an audible, visual, audiovisual and / or mechanical signal.
- a visual signal is also understood to mean a graphical representation on the data reader.
- the identifying causes the generation of a data record on the data reader.
- the indication is particularly preferably the output of a light and / or a sound via a corresponding device.
- a light combination can be used in which, for example, a green light or the absence of light indicates no risk of infection and a red light indicates a risk of infection.
- the frequency at which the light is switched on and off can indicate, for example, the degree of infection.
- the sound may be in the form of a buzzing, for example, to indicate a risk of infection.
- a mechanical signal could, for example, be given by a vibration of the data reading device, but may for example also take the form of a movement and / or installation of an object.
- the mechanical signal may also be indicative of a restriction, lock or other disabling. This can be, for example, an automatic opening of a lock on a room door, cupboard door, a cupboard and / or a cupboard compartment or a drawer.
- the cleaning personnel can be granted access to suitable cleaning and / or protective equipment. If, for example, such a mechanical warning makes personal protective equipment available, the cleaning staff will recognize that it is necessary to use this protective equipment due to the infection status of the patient wearer.
- by making certain cleaning and / or disinfecting materials available it is possible to ensure that suitable and / or prescribed means are used for the infection status of the patient wearer.
- the mechanical signal can also restrict the mobility of the mobile patient carrier, eg. By activating a brake system for the mobile patient wearer, or controlling a barrier, sliding door, and / or gate to prevent access to another treatment step.
- the reference has a plurality of components, each of which may be an audible, visual, audiovisual and / or mechanical signal.
- a multi-part indication can also accompany the reprocessing staff through individual steps in the reprocessing process and thus ensure the correct execution of the reprocessing process.
- Issuing a message about the infection status is always automatic, ie without human interaction.
- the device issuing the message is connected to the computer system, for example, via cable or via radio, and in this way receives information that an indication or which note should be issued.
- the notification device may itself comprise a computer or it may be controlled from the central computer system.
- the indication is mechanical in nature, no human interaction is required so that potential sources of error are eliminated.
- the cabinet door or drawer may be opened by a motor driven by the central computer system or by a separate notice facility.
- the cabinet door, drawer and / or cabinet can be unlocked by a lock that locks a motor or an electromagnet is activated and which is controlled by the central computer system or by a separate information device.
- the release can also be done by unlocking a preloaded spring, for example, by a weight has a movement of this lock according to and has the prestressed spring by their expansion, for example, according to the opening of a cabinet.
- the release or restriction can also be carried out pneumatically or hydraulically and can additionally be caused, influenced or prevented, for example, by an optical device (such as a light barrier).
- an optical device such as a light barrier.
- the displacement of a weight for example by placing an object or a person in a predetermined place, can be perceived by a motion sensor which causes a hydraulic device to lock and / or lock, for example by telescoping a telescopic rod to pick up.
- Relocating may also involve lowering or elevating a pedestal or plateau or bottom plate which can be detected by a corresponding change in a reference optical signal by means of a sensor and cancels a lock.
- a weight sensor can cause this.
- a limitation of the mobility of the mobile patient support can also be done by, for example, a barrier in the room or a brake system in the room and / or on the patient support.
- a hydraulic or pneumatic device for example, the telescoping a telescopic rod and / or the lowering or raising a barrier, for example from the ground, or from the ceiling, restrict the mobility of the mobile patient support.
- An indication of the infection status of the mobile patient carrier has, inter alia, the advantage that a defined reprocessing process is initiated and this requires no extensive consideration of the staff.
- a restriction or release described above can prevent accidental skipping of Auftungssch rides and it is enforced an intended and often required by law treatment in nature and duration, eg exposure time of the disinfectant before release of the mobile patient support.
- issuing the indication of infection status may further include providing at least one security measure.
- personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, hood, mask, overshoes, gowns, safety suit, and / or face shield.
- the provision of the protective equipment depending on the infection status can be done as described above by opening or unlocking a cabinet, a cabinet, a drawer or other storage device.
- One of the advantages of initiating a security measure is that it also requires compulsory steps to ensure safety and hygiene without requiring extensive staff considerations, which ultimately leads to avoiding erroneous processing of the mobile patient support.
- a security measure can also be carried out automatically and / or after identifying another identification tag. For example, this may be due to the opening of a particular portion of a cabinet only after scanning a bar code attached to a cabinet to provide the required security measure. In the case of a preferred automatic deployment, scanning of such may be attached to the cabinet part Barcodes also cause a registration in the database of a computer system. Further, the respective provided materials may also have an identification tag that can be identified with the data reader, which also causes the registration of the respective use of the material. Furthermore, a restriction of the mobility of the mobile patient carrier to, for example, the required security measures is provided or executed and / or registered as such in the database. Only then can a release of the mobile patient support take place.
- the method can have successive steps in the preparation process, wherein the execution of the steps is registered with a data reading device.
- the registration of the steps can be recorded in the database and thus documented.
- Such a monitoring of the treatment steps according to the invention offers, inter alia, the advantage that the person responsible for the preparation can always get an indication of the infection status of the patient carrier and / or of the step to be carried out in the context of the treatment process.
- the safety of this person is granted, because it can protect itself according to the infection status eg by putting on protective clothing (PPE) and on the other hand the compliance of the regulation prescribed by the legislator is ensured by the system with the help of a database of the personnel by the individual Steps of the treatment leads.
- the reprocessing process has stipulations which, for example for mobile patient carriers such as beds, may include the following steps: a.
- the treatment is typically carried out in the beds central, which has a strict separation between "pure” and “impure” area, which is also visually marked.
- d. The impure bed equipped with mattress, evacuation mat (between mattress and bed) and with erector (or “gallows” called) waits in the impure room on the preparation.
- the treatment staff applies the prescribed personal protective equipment.
- these include gloves, mask, headgear, goggles, hood, apron, protective suit / overalls, shoe cover.
- the respective personal protective equipment is mandatory.
- the preparation staff ensures that the disinfectant to be used is available (either already mixed in the case of standard disinfection, or in the case of the infection bed according to the present infection, a new solution to be applied).
- solutions to be used for infectious bed disinfection have a period of expiry, ie the time and date of attachment are mandatory, so that at a later time not inadvertently an ineffective, that is already expired disinfecting solution is used.
- the mattress, evacuation mat and erector are separated from the bed, first cleaned (if heavily soiled) and then treated separately by wiping disinfection with a prescribed disinfectant (RKI or VAH lists).
- a prescribed disinfectant RKI or VAH lists.
- RKI or VAH lists a disinfectant that used wipes / cloths are only immersed in the disinfectant solution once each time they are touched by the bed. It is mandatory to use a new cloth each time. i. If a washing line is present, the objects described under (g) and (h) are processed by machine.
- the objects are combined and then the bed is fitted with "pure" bed linen, then the bed is placed on the transport path and in the designated parking positions before the next patient is allowed to use the bed to protect against contamination. covered with a plastic protective film.
- additional identifiers may be affixed to the mobile patient support or the bed preparation premises.
- monitoring or control of the above-described preparation process may also comprise only selected individual steps and / or other preparation steps not described above.
- each step of a preparation process is listed on a panel or a display on a wall and, in addition to a description, further characterized by an identification mark, for example bar codes, which can be identified by means of a data reader and correspondingly registered in the database of the computer system.
- an identification mark for example bar codes
- the person involved in the preparation process can also be registered.
- this person for example a person of the cleaning or bed staff, a personal identification mark.
- the personal identification mark can also be a barcode and the person with a data reading device can identify this barcode either before or after the respective step.
- the registration of the executed Steps thus also provides proof of who was responsible for the respective preparation steps and has executed them at what time.
- a combination of tag and data reader may also be radio-based, such as RFID. Accordingly, the registration and monitoring of all these steps results in increased security and a strong reduction in the risk of incomplete, incorrect, improper or incomplete processing.
- This not only reduces infection risks for staff and patients, but these steps also lead to a compulsory procedure, which is in conformity with the law and can be proven by the registration.
- This detection option reduces damage and reduces liability risks, which can have a positive effect on insurance premiums, for example, of the respective hospitals.
- an infection status can only be changed to a status which no longer has any infection risks at the end of a successfully performed and registered / documented reprocessing process. This leads to a further increase in the security of the treatment process.
- the status of the mobile patient carrier is automatically changed to a status which enables the release and / or reuse of this mobile patient carrier. It is particularly preferred that the current status of the rendering process when retrieving the status of the mobile patient wearer be displayed until the rendering process is completed.
- the time sequence of the steps of the preparation process is monitored and an indication is issued for at least one predetermined time during at least one of the steps of the preparation process.
- the indication can, as described above, have an acoustic, visual, audiovisual and / or mechanical signal.
- the indication may be a light that is turned on at the predetermined time, or has a color up to the predetermined time, and after the predetermined time has a different color, which remains on until the next step is registered.
- the given time data are stored in the computer system.
- Issuing an indication during the designated time leads to an improvement of the conditioning standards by the staff proceeding according to an indication which automatically adjusts the scheduled time with the passage of time, thus enabling the personnel to have immediate self-control.
- a timer is started, wherein upon registration of a further step of the preparation process before the expiry of the timer, a warning system is caused to issue a warning. This leads to a monitoring of the reprocessing process and allows the immediate correction of a wrong step in the reprocessing process.
- a warning light or an alarm is to be considered, which is turned on, if the predetermined time of the step, which is monitored by the timer, for example determined by the action time of a disinfectant, has not yet expired and a next Step already registered.
- the time limit of the respective steps thus supports the monitoring of the preparation, wherein the stored times represent target times.
- registering the steps of the rendering process in an order that differs from a predetermined order may cause a warning system to issue a warning.
- Such an embodiment offers, inter alia, the advantage that, if the equipment is accidentally pre-wiped before this wipe disinfection, accordingly a warning, for example in the form of an alarm, is issued in order to prevent this, or to prevent an incorrect action, namely that the mobile patient support can be recycled again, as well as the associated bed linen.
- a warning in a further preferred embodiment may also include a restriction or release of the provision of a security measure or a restriction of the mobility of the mobile patient carrier.
- a brake system displaces the mobile patient carrier prevents access to another processing step.
- this may also be a restriction, locking or other blocking according to ben. This can prevent, for example, opening a lock on a cabinet door, a cabinet and / or a cabinet compartment or a drawer, for example, to prevent the provision of new equipment.
- this can also cause the provision of additional security measures by an automatic release of, for example, disinfectants and / or personal protective equipment.
- the registration of all preparation steps, if necessary also the registration of the used materials, as well as the registration of a person and / or the place takes place automatically in all cases. For example, after detecting the infection status in a database of a computer system through a logic stored in the computer system, it is provided that for each step, identifying a corresponding tag results in an update of the database and the step is thus registered therein.
- the logic may also provide that identifying a personal identifier, a used agent, and / or a location is assigned to this step and thus also automatically registered.
- the logic may also provide that identifying the personal identifier after the second step also results in registration of the person for the first step and the Database automatically updated for the first step.
- the same logic may provide that a warning is issued and / or the first step must be forced again.
- the present invention also includes that the control and / or monitoring of the treatment process can be independent of the detection of the infection status and / or independently of the identification of the patient wearer, for example, by selecting a desired and necessary treatment process for a patient support at the treatment station. For example, if the infectious status of the mobile patient wearer is unknown, or if an infectious status entered in the system is not present or can be retrieved, the reprocessing personnel may select a reprocessing process for an infected mobile patient carrier. After entering an identification mark of the mobile patient carrier, the preparation process is started automatically and the preparation staff is guided through the selected preparation process by means of the above-described instructions.
- the infection status of a mobile patient carrier may also be established before the patient leaves the patient, for example if the status of the patient poses a hygiene or infection risk. Detecting the infection status in the database can be done manually in such a case on a station or by identifying the identification mark. Accordingly, an automatic notification for collection and / or processing does not take place in the same step, but can be triggered, for example, by a second identification, namely after the patient has finally left the bed.
- Monitoring is preferably done by identifying tags with a mobile data reader. Continuously updating the database in a computer system further allows for an increase in efficiency by allowing the detection of the infection status to cause the issuance of a notification in the form of a notification to fetch and edit the mobile patient wearer. Registration of the location also allows for direct localization of the mobile patient wearer to further reduce the time needed for transportation and preparation.
- identifying the mobile patient carrier by means of a mobile data reader at a treatment station while a message about the infection status is issued.
- the registration of all steps not only allows the monitoring of the reprocessing, but also allows the optimization of these processes by a system analysis can represent the extent of the faulty steps and analyze where possible errors are committed, eg process steps are omitted, if predetermined target times over or below how many impure mobile patients are in the medical facility, On soft wards, the greatest risks of infection occur, and which steps should be taken faster or optimized.
- the treatment monitoring process can be easily implemented in existing systems and continues to be adaptable to existing or future systems.
- the infection status of the mobile patient carrier can also be linked directly to a patient status. If a patient is known to be infected or potentially infected, thus posing a risk of infection to others, such a patient's infection status may be stored in a database of a computer system. Such a patient's infection status implies that a mobile patient carrier used for this patient also poses a potential risk of infection. The infection status of this mobile patient carrier is thus automatically linked to the infection status of the patient.
- a notification for fetching and / or processing of the mobile patient support is automatically caused.
- Identification of the identification mark of the mobile patient support by a person responsible for the collection and / or preparation of the mobile patient support can furthermore, as described above, by an intended linkage of the mobile patient support with the infection status of the patient an indication of the infection status of the mobile patient wearer cause.
- threshold values can also be set for, for example, the number of existing and / or collected impure mobile patient carriers and / or the number of available personnel for the beginning of the Preparation be provided to to further increase the efficiency of the treatment.
- the automatic room allocation may also provide that mobile patient carriers are stored only at the designated location. If a mobile patient wearer is placed in an incorrect location, the procedure may continue to issue a warning after proper registration.
- a system that monitors, for example, the use or dispensing of materials, such as with a sensor and detector may be implemented with comparable identification tags as described above in the method.
- a dispenser for fluids such as disinfectants or detergents, or for example, cleaning cloths or laundry having a motion sensor and / or weight sensor, which can check the use, furthermore also have an identification mark, for example a barcode. Identifying such a barcode prior to operating a dispenser has, after actuation of the dispenser, a sensor confirming use and further registration of use in the database of a computer system.

- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the processes in the preparation monitoring in a further preferred embodiment
- FIG. and FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a part of the monitoring of the treatment processes.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the monitoring of a mobile patient support (eg a bed) can be seen according to a preferred embodiment.
- monitoring follows the steps below.
- the infectious status of the mobile patient carrier (1) is recorded based on a patient's infection status or infection risk. This is done, for example, manually at a station and is entered in a database of a computer system (2).
- the mobile patient carrier is picked up and transferred to a treatment station (4).
- an identification mark (10) of the mobile patient carrier (1) with a data reader (3) is identified, which is in communication with the computer system (2).
- the identification of the identifier (10) retrieves the infection status of the mobile patient carrier (1) from the database of the computer system (2).
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the monitoring of a mobile patient support (eg a bed) can be seen according to another preferred embodiment.
- monitoring follows the steps below.
- the infectious status of the mobile patient carrier (1) is recorded based on a patient's infection status or infection risk. This is done by identifying a first identification mark (10) or a second identification mark (11) of a mobile patient carrier (1) by means of a data reader (3), depending on the infection status or infection risk of the patient.
- one of the two identifiers (10, 11) represents a potential risk of infection and the other identifier an impure, but non-infectious status.
- the identifiers (10, 11) are also designed to be identified by means of a unique visual recognition of the support infection status recorded on the identification tag.
- the data reader (3) is in communication with a database in a computer system (2) and registers by identifying the infection status of the mobile patient carrier (1) in the database.
- information about the location where the mobile patient wearer is located and the person who has acquired the infection status can be registered by identifying further identification marks (12, 13) by means of the data reader (3).
- the mobile patient carrier (1) is picked up by pick-up and / or reprocessing personnel, for example, by identifying the identification mark (10, 11) and / or another identification mark (12, 13) with another data reader (3B) the collection can also register / document. Identifying one of the two identifiers (10, 11) of the mobile patient wearer (1) retrieves the infection status of the mobile patient wearer (1) (regardless of which of the two identifiers has been identified) and allows the correct action of the personnel to the mobile patient wearer (1) Relocate safely to the treatment station (4) and reduce the risk of potential spread of pathogens. The personnel can also be detected and registered by identifying another personal identification tag (14) by means of the data reader (3) in the database of the computer system (2).
- one of the identification marks (10, 11) is identified at the processing station (4) by means of the data reader (3A) provided there.
- the infection status of the mobile patient carrier (1) is retrieved (regardless of which of the two identifiers has been identified) and causes the issue of an indication of the infection status via a device (5), for example by a warning lamp.
- the note indicates the issuance of a security measure.
- the security measure can, for example, the provision of personal protection equipment and / or the release of funds necessary for the preparation by automatic opening z.
- B. a further device (6) for example in the form of a cabinet door. The reprocessing personnel can then create the personal protective equipment provided and carry out the reprocessing process only with the approved cleaning and disinfecting agents.
- the individual processing steps can be registered by identifying identification marks by means of a data reading device and, furthermore, the time passed between the registrations can be compared with a prescribed target time. For example, if the registrations are not in the correct order and / or not according to the intended target time, a warning device may automatically issue a warning. This can cause, for example, in addition to a warning light (8) and a mechanical restriction of a provision of a further warning device (9), z. Locking a cabinet door to avoid subsequent steps, or restricting the mobility of the mobile patient support (1), e.g. by the action of a locking, braking or barrier system.
- the infection status of the mobile patient carrier (1) is changed and a new status of the mobile patient carrier only after a completed processing process, wherein all steps have been registered according to the stored and provided sequence and target times (1) can be recorded as 'prepared' or 'available'.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the monitoring of the treatment processes.
- various steps (AF) of the preparation process indicated on a wall panel (7) are provided not only with a process description (I-VI) but also with an identification mark (71-76).
- the different preparation processes can be registered by means of a data reader (3) in the database of a computer system (2) by the corresponding identifiers (71-76) can be identified with the data reader (3) on the treatment station (4).
- the data reader (3) is further in communication with a computer system having a database.
- the registrations can also cause one or more warning devices (8, 9) to output a warning in order to correct possible erroneous steps and to ensure the safety of the processing.
