Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a treatment confirming system for confirming whether or not an injection should be administered to a patient by using a portable collating device before administering the injection to the patient. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various types of injections used for treating patients, such as ampules, vials, and infusion bottles. These are prepared in a tray for each patient in a medicine department based on a doctor's injection prescription. After the pharmacist audits, the entire tray is transported to the ward where it is stored until administered to the patient. When an injection is administered to a patient, the medicine in an ampoule or vial is directly administered by an injection syringe, or the medicine in an ampoule or vial is mixed into an infusion bottle and administered by infusion. When administering a drug to a patient using an injection syringe, the ward nurse selects a patient tray to be treated from a plurality of stored trays, and ampules from the tray based on the injection prescription contained in the tray. Take out the vial, transfer the drug to the injection syringe in advance, and then go under the patient with the injection syringe. Similarly, when administering a drug to a patient by infusion, the nurse in the ward selects the tray of the patient to be treated from the plurality of stored trays, and determines the tray based on the injection prescription contained in the tray. Take out the ampoule or vial from the bottle, mix it into the infusion bottle, and go to the patient with the infusion bottle.

[0003]

However, from the pharmacy department to the ward, both the injection prescription and the injection medicine are placed in the same tray, and the injection prescription includes the patient name and the like. Since the information that can identify the patient is described, there is no fear that the injection in the tray is mistaken for another patient's injection, but the nurse transfers the drug to the injection syringe and mixes it into the infusion bottle. After that, there is a problem that the injection syringe and the infusion bottle are separated from the tray, that is, the injection prescription, so that the injection syringe and the infusion bottle may be mistaken for another patient's injection. More specifically, since a plurality of patients are usually hospitalized in a ward, injection syringes and infusion bottles of a plurality of patients are often prepared at the same place at the same time. For this reason, for example, two nurses simultaneously prepare injection syringes and infusion bottles for different patients at the same table, and leave the temporary seat while leaving the prepared injection syringes and infusion bottles on the table. After that, if you come to get an injection syringe or infusion bottle placed on the table, it is possible for another nurse to mistakenly bring an injection syringe or infusion bottle prepared for another patient There is. Such a mistake is a major problem as it results in a serious problem of administering a drug that is completely unrelated to the patient. In some cases, there is a possibility that a tray may be mistakenly taken before preparing an injection syringe or an infusion bottle. Even if you mistakenly take the tray, the injection prescription is also included in the tray, so the patient name written in the injection prescription,
If the name of the patient who is going to be treated is compared with a medical chart or the like, a mistake in the tray will be noticed at this stage, but in reality, the collation confirmation work at the stage of removing the tray is completely performed. It can not be said. Further, since the trays are successively transported from the medicine department to the ward, there is a possibility that when the trays are stored in the ward, the tray storage location may be mistaken. Any of the above-mentioned problems is a serious problem since it develops into a serious problem of administering unnecessary drugs to patients, and it is desired in hospitals to solve these problems reliably. In order to solve the above problems, when preparing an injection syringe or infusion pack, when a nurse transcribes the patient name written on the injection prescription to the injection syringe or infusion pack, and actually performs treatment on the patient A method is adopted in which the name of the patient to be treated is heard and the name is compared with the name written on the injection, such as an injection syringe or infusion pack, so that the injection is finally administered to the patient. At the same time, it is possible to check whether the injection is for the patient or not, so that the problem of administering the wrong injection to the patient can be reduced. However, not all patients admitted to the hospital are able to declare their names accurately, and there are patients with various symptoms. The confirmation method of doing so is not optimal. In addition, there is also a fundamental problem that, since the final verification check depends on human judgment, it is not possible to completely prevent verification errors. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems without having to ask the patient for a name, and without requiring hospital staff to judge the collation confirmation by himself / herself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a treatment confirmation system and a portable collation device that can be easily and reliably performed.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a treatment confirmation system according to the present invention is mounted on a patient's body and has patient identification information (patient ID) capable of identifying the patient.
No.) in the form of a barcode, and an injection for administration to a patient to which a collation label in which the patient identification information (patient ID number) is printed in the form of a barcode is attached in advance.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a treatment confirmation system and a portable collation apparatus according to the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a treatment confirmation system according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a wristband worn on a patient, reference numeral 2 denotes a verification label attached to an injection, and reference numeral 3 denotes a portable verification device. The wristband 1 and the collation label 2 include patient identification information (eg, patient ID) for identifying a patient.
Number) is printed in the form of a barcode. The portable collation device 3 reads the patient identification information from the wristband 1 and the collation label 2 with the barcode reader 3a, and verifies whether the read information is the corresponding information. The result is displayed on the display 3b. According to the treatment confirmation system configured in this manner, the hospital staff can use the portable collation device 3 to check the injection medicine to be administered before administering the injection medicine such as an injection syringe or an infusion bottle to the user. Since it is possible to confirm whether or not the injection is to be administered to the patient, there is no need to worry about administering the wrong injection to the patient even if the injection is mistaken.

Here, the configuration of the portable collating apparatus 3 will be described in more detail. FIG. 2 shows a portable collating device 3
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of FIG. As shown in the drawing, this portable collating device 3 is a bar code reader 3
a, display 3b, collating means 3c, and output control means 3d. The two pieces of patient identification information read by the barcode reader 3a are input to the matching means 3c, where they are checked to see if they are corresponding information. Specifically, for example, when the patient identification information is a patient ID number, it is checked whether the patient ID number read from the wristband 1 and the patient ID number read from the title label 2 match. .

The bar code printed on the collation label of the wristband and the injection includes exactly the same information as the barcode printed on the collation label of the injection medicine, including information for identifying the wristband and the collation label in addition to the patient identification information such as the patient ID number. When the information is read twice, the matching unit 3c of the portable matching device 3 may be configured to determine that the matching is not established. With such a configuration, even if the information of the wristband is read twice consecutively by mistake, the matching is not established, so that the reliability of the portable matching device 3 is improved. In addition, the history of the collation is stored in the portable collation device 3,
It is preferable that the hospital staff manages whether the collation work is performed using the portable collation device 3 correctly when performing treatment. This can prevent the hospital staff from forgetting to use the portable collation device 3 itself.
Since the barcode originally has its own unique number, the portable collating device may be configured to prevent double reading based on the unique number of the barcode.

The collation result in the collation means 3c is sent to the output control means 3d. As shown in FIG. 3, the output control unit 3d displays the collation result in characters and / or symbols, and displays the collation result according to the collation result.
And / or change the color of the characters or symbols. In this way, the collation result is displayed not only by characters and / or symbols, but also by changing the background color and / or the color of the characters and symbols in accordance with the collation result, so that the hospital staff as the user can display the collation result. There is almost no possibility of misreading the collation result displayed in, and a more reliable checking operation can be performed.

[0010] As described above, according to the treatment confirmation system and the portable collation device according to the present embodiment, the same patient identification information is printed in the form of a barcode on the wristband and the collation label, and the wristband and the collation label are printed. The portable collation device is configured to collate the patient identification information read from the device, so not only does the patient need to hear the name or judge the hospital staff who performs the treatment, but also the collation error due to a malfunction of the device Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to easily execute a highly reliable treatment check. Here, the reason why the collation error due to the malfunction of the device is eliminated will be briefly described. For example, the patient identification information printed on the wristband is used as the patient ID number, and the information printed on the collation label attached to the injection medicine is used. , An injection medicine ID number provided for each type of injection medicine, and a storage means provided inside the portable collating apparatus 3;
Information in which the patient ID number and the article ID number are associated with each other is stored, and when the patient ID number is compared with the article ID number by the matching unit 3c, the matching may be performed by referring to the information in the storage unit. Although it is possible, if the information read from the wristband and the collation label cannot be collated unless the information stored in the storage means is referred to as described above, the data stored in the storage means may have an error. In such a case, a collation error may occur, and an input error may occur when storing information in which the patient ID number and the article ID number are associated with each other in the storage unit. In this treatment confirmation system, the occurrence of a collation error in the portable collation device 3 is a fatal problem, and once the collation mistake occurs, the reliability of the treatment confirmation system itself is completely lost. Therefore, by printing the same patient identification information in the form of a barcode on the wristband and the collation label as in the present invention, it becomes possible to directly collate the read information. In this case, it is possible to completely eliminate the risk of occurrence of a collation error that may occur when collation is performed with reference to information stored in advance.

[0011] The injections in the above embodiments include:
It goes without saying that a blood product is included in addition to the drug to be administered to the patient, and therefore it is a matter of course that a portable collating device can be used for collating the transfusion pack with the patient.

[0012]

As described above, the treatment confirmation system and the portable collating apparatus according to the present invention are mounted on the patient's body and can specify the patient (patient ID number).
A wristband printed in the form of a barcode, an injection for administration to a patient to which a collation label printed in the form of a barcode with the patient identification information (patient ID number) is applied in advance, A barcode reader, collating information read by the barcode reader, comprising a portable patient verification device configured to display the verification result to the user, before administering the injection to the patient By reading the patient identification information from the wristband and the collation label of the injection using the portable patient collation device, collating them, and displaying the collation result to the user, It is not necessary to ask the patient for the name,
There is no need for the hospital staff to make a verification check on their own,
Furthermore, there is no possibility that a collation error occurs due to a malfunction of the apparatus, and it is possible to perform collation confirmation between the injection medicine and the patient easily and reliably. In addition, the portable collating apparatus according to the present invention is mounted on the patient's body, and is capable of identifying patient (patient ID).
No.) in the form of a barcode, and an injection for administration to a patient to which a collation label in which the patient identification information (patient ID number) is printed in the form of a barcode is attached in advance. And a barcode reader for reading patient specific information from each, a collating means for collating the patient specific information read by the barcode reader, and a display means for displaying the collation result to the user,
If applied to the above-mentioned treatment confirmation system, there is no need to hear the name from the patient, and there is no need for the hospital staff to judge the collation confirmation by himself, and the collation confirmation between the article and the patient is performed easily and reliably. This has the effect of being able to
