FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a medical management apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the medical management apparatus is provided with a reception terminal 11, a doctor terminal 21, a nurse terminal 31, and the like, and these are mutually connected by a common bus 39. Specifically, the reception terminal 11 is mainly configured by a CPU 14, and a display / input unit 12 and an output unit 13 are connected to the reception terminal 11. In this embodiment, the display and input unit 12 is assumed to be a touch panel type display, but a display unit and an input unit which are separated may be used instead. The display and input unit 12 is provided with a slot through which data can be exchanged with a medical examination card 15 which is an IC card storing data such as a patient's blood type and history.

Similarly, the doctor terminal 21 is also configured around a CPU 24, to which a display / input unit 22 and an output unit 23 are connected. Similarly, the nurse terminal 31 has a CPU
The display and input unit 32 and the output unit 33 are connected to 34. In the figure, three types of terminals are displayed, but in addition, similar terminals are installed in, for example, terminals in pharmacies and ordering departments for ordering medical instruments and the like.

As described above, the CPU of each terminal uses the common bus 3
9 to each other, and any terminal can display or output the same data to share information.

On the other hand, the common bus 39 stores a medical record file 41 in which medical information for each patient is digitized and stored.
A clinical path generation system 42 for generating, for each patient, a clinical path (a variety of medical treatments and treatment plans are displayed in a two-dimensional structure with a vertical axis and a horizontal axis) described below;
A consultation information file 43 for storing medical treatment schedules and the like of doctors and nurses, a pharmacy information file 44 for storing a management state of medicines required for medication, and information such as a use state of an operating room and examination equipment are stored. Inspection information file 46 for storage
And a hospitalization information file 48 for storing management information such as empty beds.

As described above, since each terminal is connected to the file in which various medical-related information is stored via the common bus 39, the information for each patient and the medical care of the entire hospital can be received from any terminal. The management state of the device or the like can be pulled out and checked at any time, and this can be printed and output.

The pharmacy information file 44 is also connected to a medicine ordering system 45 so that necessary medicines can be automatically ordered according to the contents of data such as the stock amount of medicines. . Similarly, the inspection information file 46 is connected to an inspection equipment ordering system 47, so that equipment necessary for inspection can be automatically ordered according to the stock amount. Further, the hospitalization information file 48 is connected to a hospitalization equipment ordering system 49, so that it is possible to automatically order equipment necessary for hospitalization. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a specific configuration of the reception terminal 11 of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, reception terminal 11 is a display and input unit 12 of a touch panel type, and an output unit 13 for outputting necessary information is provided below it. Further, a card slot 16 from which data of the examination card 15 can be read is provided on the right side of the display and input unit 12.

Next, a method of using the reception terminal 11 will be described. When the patient arrives at the reception in the hospital, he first inserts his / her examination card 15 into the card slot 16. As a result, the patient's own blood type stored in the consultation card 15 and the patient data useful for treatment of a medical history or the like are read. If such patient-specific data is stored in the examination card 15, holding the examination card 15 makes it possible to utilize the data in other hospitals having the same medical management system. . Therefore, problems such as a patient's past illness and misreporting of allergy information and the like due to a so-called medical interview are reduced. Then, when the treatment is completed, the treatment content can be read as new data into the examination card 15 via the card slot 16 to further improve the treatment efficiency.

After inserting the consultation card 15, the patient
Of the examination, medication, and examination, the display portion indicating the desired medical treatment may be pressed with a finger. Thereby, the medical management apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is linked. Specifically, for example, when a medical examination is desired, patient information is displayed on the display and input unit 22 of the doctor terminal 21 and the display and input unit 32 of the nurse terminal 31, and the patient information is provided to the doctor and nurse. It is transmitted instantly. On the other hand, when the examination information file 43 is read, a reception number is given to the patient, and guidance contents to the examination room of the desired medical department are presented.

When a drug is desired, patient information is transmitted to the pharmacy via the terminal, and the patient is presented with a reception number and the contents of guidance to the pharmacy. Drug information to be prepared by the pharmacy is stored in the pharmacy information file 44 via the common bus 39, and the drug ordering system 45 operates in parallel based on this information.

When an examination is desired, the examination information file 46 is read out, and information such as the availability of examination equipment and patient information are transmitted to the examination technician. On the other hand, the patient is presented with the reception number for the examination and the contents of guidance to the examination room.

The information may be transmitted to the patient by using the display and voice of the display and input unit 12, but may be transmitted by the output unit 13.
If the information to be transmitted to the patient via the PC is printed out and held by the patient, the reliability of the transmission is further improved.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the nurse terminal 31 in FIG. Referring to the figure, the nurse terminal 3
Reference numeral 1 denotes a touch panel type display and input unit 32, and an output unit 33 for printing and outputting the contents and the like displayed on the display and input unit 32. In this figure, the display and input unit 32 displays a clinical path, and the output unit 33 outputs a clinical path display card 36 on which the clinical path is printed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the specific contents of the clinical path display card 36 shown in FIG. Referring to the figure, the clinical path display card 36 displays a clinical path of a patient who undergoes a polypectomy of the large intestine as a specific example. Specifically, the horizontal axis represents the time axis required for treatment, and the vertical axis represents the medical treatment contents and treatment contents scheduled for each schedule shown on the time axis. More specifically, treatment information on examinations, meals, injections / oral administrations, actions / baths, etc. is displayed using pictograms for each schedule.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the specific contents of the treatment information corresponding to the pictograms used in FIG. In the conventional clinical path, without using emoticons,
Since the contents of treatment and the like are displayed only by characters, it cannot be said that the contents are sufficiently distinguished and understood especially by elderly patients, patients with disabilities, infants, and the like. However, when a clinical path is displayed using such pictograms, the treatment content and the like can be visually understood, so that more patients can grasp their treatment content more accurately.

Thus, more reliable treatment can be performed with the cooperation of the patient, and the treatment effect can be enhanced.
The clinical path is generated in the clinical path generation system 42 according to the patient's symptoms based on the medical examination result of the doctor, so that the treatment content can be made into a manual. Since the clinical path display card 36 on which the clinical path is printed is individually given to the patient,
Conventionally, anxiety due to lack of information on when and what treatment is to be performed when hospitalized is eliminated from the patient, and it is possible to concentrate on the treatment in a stable psychological state. In addition, such a clinical path can be displayed by inputting the identification information of the patient from any terminal, so that not only the patient, the doctor and the nurse, but also other medical staff, the information of the patient can be displayed. Can be shared, and the medical management of the hospital as a whole is improved. For example, by accurately grasping the examination schedule of the patient, it becomes possible to determine the timing of cleaning the hospitalization bed, and to quickly determine the hospitalization schedule of a new patient based on the discharge schedule.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, since the display and input unit 32 is of a touch panel type, by touching a desired pictogram in a state where the clinical path is displayed, the display and the input unit 32 are related to the pictogram. It is also possible to extract the information as patient information of the entire hospital and compile the information. For example, if you touch a pictogram that represents a drip,
At the time of the touch, information on the whole patient who needs the type of infusion required in the future can be instantaneously extracted as the quantity required in the hospital. Similarly, by touching pictograms relating to meals, it is possible to instantly grasp the total amount of, for example, liquid food required for the entire hospital. By operating the foodstuff ordering system for liquid food, it is possible to store and order foodstuffs without excess or deficiency.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing specific display contents of a medicine bag used in the medical management apparatus of FIG. As described above, the patient's examination data is input via the display and input unit 22 of the doctor terminal 21. Therefore, the type of drug necessary for the treatment of the patient is input. Then, the individual data of the medicine may be transferred to the pharmacy, and may be output so as to be printed on a corresponding portion of the medicine bag 53 displayed using pictograms for each patient. Further, instead of such printing, the information of the medicine corresponding only to the patient is extracted from the pharmacy information file 44 and the individual pictograms are printed on the medicine bag 53, so that the display can be more understood for the patient. And it can be taken with peace of mind.

In the above-described embodiment, the clinical path is set centering on the patient, but it is also possible to change the display to centering on a doctor, a nurse, or the like.

In the above-described embodiment, the patient is identified using the medical treatment card. Alternatively, the patient may be identified by inputting the identification number from the numeric keypad or the like. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, one hospital is targeted. However, if the hospitals are networked to share medical information and bed vacancy information, it is possible to further improve medical efficiency.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is also useful to make the accounting system more efficient by linking it with the system for counting the points of insurance generated by each medical practice. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a desired pictogram is specified by the touch panel method. However, it goes without saying that a pictogram may be specified by voice input or a numeric keypad instead.
