Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that schedule information about medical practice is orally notified to a patient as necessary, however, the whole schedule is sometimes not sufficiently notified to the patient from a medical worker. SOLUTION: A bedside terminal is connected to a hospital information system by a network. The hospital information system has a means for receiving/ transmitting e-mail in the hospital, a means for storing patient information, a means for storing which beside terminal the patient uses and a means for controlling distribution time with respect to a mail system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bedside information system for providing information to a hospitalized patient at the bedside in the medical field.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a bedside information system for providing information to an inpatient instead of a television has been proposed in the medical field. This bedside information system has been proposed as a system comprising a server and a client, in which a bedside terminal on the client side is placed on the bedside, and a television broadcast or a video-on-demand movie can be provided to an inpatient.

On the other hand, apart from the bedside information system, a medical information system for electronically managing medical information such as medical records is being introduced into various medical institutions due to the deregulation of permitting the storage of medical records on electronic media. is there.

[0004] As this medical information system, a system capable of recording not only the result of medical diagnosis and the contents of treatment but also schedule information relating to the medical practice of a patient has been proposed in recent years.

[0005]

Even if the medical information system as described above is introduced, the medical information system is basically used by medical staff, so the schedule information on the medical practice includes: There was a function of notifying only the medical staff regarding the recorded schedule information, and the schedule information regarding the medical action instructed by the medical staff was orally notified each time.
In some cases, the overall schedule was not fully notified by healthcare professionals.

[0006] As described above, since the medical information system is created in consideration of the convenience of the medical staff, it is difficult for the patient to grasp the entire schedule. It was difficult to get information.

[0007]

The bedside terminal is connected to a hospital information system via a network. The hospital information system includes means for sending and receiving e-mails in the hospital, means for storing patient information, means for storing which bedside terminal the patient uses, and means for controlling the delivery time to the mail system. Have. Further, the bedside terminal has means for receiving information distributed from the mail system, and means for replying and transmitting a new message as required. Further, there is provided a means for instructing the delivery time from the bedside terminal as needed.

[0008] Medical information entered by a medical worker via a bedside terminal is delivered by mail at a specific time including a schedule, and the contents can be confirmed.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an example of a bedside terminal. The bed is connected to a computer, a bedside display, a keyboard, and a mouse, so that the user can use the bedside terminal while using the bed. The computer main body uses a battery built-in type that can be used even during a power failure, such as a notebook computer. Further, the bedside display can arrange a relatively light liquid crystal type object at an arbitrary position with an arm, and can arrange it at an arbitrary position according to the posture of the patient. Further, a keyboard and a mouse are not essential, and a touch panel provided on a bedside display or an infrared remote controller can be used. The computer itself is connected by a LAN and is provided so as to be accessible to the hospital information system, so that necessary information can be freely taken out within a range of access qualifications.

FIG. 2 shows a system configuration diagram in cooperation with a hospital information system and a mail system via a bedside information system and a network. The hospital information system has a data management function and a mail system cooperation function. The data management function is a function for managing medical information and the like generated in the hospital, and is provided with a function for inputting a medical plan of a patient. The mail system linkage function,
It has the function of converting information generated by the data management function to be notified to other persons or terminals into an e-mail format and transmitting it to the mail system. The mail system has a function of accumulating e-mail generated in the hospital information system or the bedside information system, and transmitting the accumulated e-mail in response to a request from the hospital information system or the bedside information system. The bedside information system accesses the e-mail system at a specified time or at the request of the patient,
It has a function of checking whether an e-mail has arrived and receiving it if an e-mail has arrived.

FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of transmitting information using a mail system to a patient at a delivery time. The hospital information system determines whether or not the delivery time is regularly determined. When the delivery time comes, the patient information is acquired, and mail information to be notified at the current delivery time is generated. Next, the generated mail information is transmitted to the mail system. The bedside information system refers to the mail information transmitted to the mail system and displays a notification from the hospital information system on a display. FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen on the bedside terminal. This screen contains e-mail information that is regularly delivered every morning. Even if there is a change in the medical plan, the updated information is always notified, so that omission of notification to the patient is eliminated.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart for inputting patient information in the hospital information system. As shown in the figure,
The patient information is input, and then registration / change to the patient information database is performed.

FIG. 7 shows a specific example of schedule information for each patient. Further, the schedule information may be on a daily basis, or may be schedule information over a certain period such as a week.

FIG. 6 shows an example in which necessary information for each bedside terminal is registered in the hospital information system.
By registering in advance which patient uses which bedside terminal in this way, it is possible to automatically send a message to the bedside terminal used by that patient simply by determining the patient Can be.

[0015]

According to the present invention, each patient can receive medical information from a medical worker by in-hospital mail, and can easily and timely grasp the medical information. In addition, patients can ask questions to medical professionals by e-mail, and necessary information can be shared without worrying about each other's schedule, thereby contributing to greatly improving patient services.
