  Further, since the introduction effect due to the use of the kit product can be automatically calculated, it has an effect of reducing labor for creating a proposal document that describes a specific introduction effect and the like.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In this example, a program (software) for designing a surgical medical kit is installed in a terminal constituted by a computer device, and the terminal is configured and operated as a surgical medical kit design device (design system). It is like that.

  In the program of this example, a plurality of operations for which a kit can be designed is set in advance, and a standard kit configuration is preset for each operation for the designable operation kit. The standard kit configuration is memorized as a full kit configuration with almost all medical devices required for the operation, and a half kit configuration that uses other than the kit for some medical devices. It is. As each kit configuration, the layout of the medical instrument in the container when the instrument in the kit is packed in the packaging container is stored. The volume of the packaging container and the size of each medical device (product) that makes up the kit are also stored, so that if the kit configuration is changed, it can be calculated whether it can be stored in the packaging container. It is.

  And the order which uses the goods in a kit at the time of operation is also registered, and it has a function which calculates the layout of the medical instrument in a container so that it can take out from a packing container in order of the use order. Therefore, when the product composing the kit is changed or added, the layout of the medical device in the packaging container is changed in consideration of the size and order of use of the changed or added device.

  That is, in this example, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, the products are stored and packed in trays 11, 12, 13 and the like arranged in several stages in the product pack area in the packaging container. It is. In that case, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the order in which the medical instruments in the kit are used is determined according to the progress of the operation, and the packaging is arranged in such a way that it can be taken out from the top in the order of use. is there. However, the order of use shown in FIG. 3 and the instruments used in that order are only examples, and there are some changes depending on the hospital where the operation is performed.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a computer device configured and operated as a design device for the surgical medical kit of this example. A central control unit (CPU) 1 serving as arithmetic processing means is connected to the storage means of the ROM 2 and RAM 3 via an internal bus, reads a program stored in the data storage unit 4 such as a hard disk into the RAM 3, and the CPU 1 In this control, input data and other arithmetic processing are performed, and data processing for creating a surgical medical kit design document is performed.

  In this case, based on operation data or the like input to the input unit 5 configured with a keyboard or a pointing device such as a mouse, a process for creating a design document for a surgical medical kit is performed. In addition, a display unit 6 composed of a monitor display or the like is connected, and display data created by control or calculation on the CPU 1 side is supplied, and data on a surgical medical kit designed on the display unit 6 is stored. Various displays are performed. The CPU 1 that is the control unit of the computer device configured as described above and each function execution unit connected to the CPU 1 function as each unit that executes the design of the surgical medical kit that is the processing of this example.

  As the display on the display unit 6, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, various displays related to the kit under design are performed on a screen 100 of the display unit 6. Here, as the display function selection buttons, a finished product selection button 101, a configuration list display button 102, a diagram switching button 103, and a prototype request button 104 are displayed, and these buttons can be operated by a mouse click operation or the like. I can do it.

  When the finished product selection button 101 is operated, the finished product selection display 111 shown on the lower side of FIG. 4 is displayed, and the display shifts to a recommended kit list and a display for searching for a finished product condition. When the configuration list display button 102 is operated, the configuration list display 112 is displayed, and the display shifts to a display for performing the quantity ordered for each kit. When the diagram switching button 103 is operated, a three-dimensional map display 113 of the designed kit is displayed. When the prototype request button 104 is operated, the screen moves to a prototype request display 114, and the designed surgical kit data is transferred to a predetermined external terminal, so that the number of prototypes to be manufactured and the scheduled delivery date are displayed. Move on to display for confirmation.

  Further, in the center of the screen 100, there are a variable area display 105 in which the configuration and arrangement can be changed among the products constituting the kit, and a fixed area display 106 in which the configuration and arrangement are determined and cannot be changed. In the area, for example, an icon indicating an instrument is displayed. Beside the variable area display 105, a list display 108 of icons indicating devices that can be changed is displayed. In the fixed area display 106, for example, a group (first group) of instruments that are typically used for surgery is arranged and displayed. In the variable area display 105, for example, a group of instruments (second group) used for surgery is arranged and displayed. The icon display used in these displays is a display that is easy to understand by symbolizing each medical instrument with a figure or a character.

  Further, a component button 107 is prepared at the upper left of the screen 100. When the button is operated, the detailed display 117 of the components in the kit shown in the upper side of FIG. 4 is displayed in the order of recommendation. Is done.

  Note that an external interface 7 is connected to the computer device of this example, and data processed by the computer device can be transferred to the outside, or data transferred from the outside can be received.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of execution processing of the design program for the surgical medical kit of this example. Referring to FIG. 5, first, when the design program for the surgical medical kit of this example is started up (step S11), a screen for selecting an operation name is displayed on the display unit 6 by calculation processing under the control of the CPU 1 (step S12). ). At this time, for example, a list of surgical name candidates of surgical kits that can be designed by the surgical medical kit design program of this example is displayed, and the operator selects the surgical name of the kit to be designed by operating the mouse or the like. .

  In the state where such a display is performed, the CPU 1 determines whether or not an operation for selecting an operation name has been performed (step S13), and waits until it is selected. When the name of the surgery is selected, the kit to be designed is a full kit design with almost all medical instruments necessary for the surgery, or a half kit design that does not use the kit for some instruments. Is displayed on the display unit 6 (step S14). When the design of the full kit is selected based on this display, a list of standard components of the full kit prepared in advance for the operation selected in step S13 is displayed based on the control of the CPU 1 ( Step S15). If half kit design is selected in step S14, a list of standard components of the half kit prepared in advance for operation selected in step S13 is displayed based on the control of the CPU 1 (step S14). S16).

  When displaying a list of standard configuration products in step S15 or S16, for example, the name of each medical device, the order of use, icons indicating the medical device, detailed specifications of the device, and a photograph (image) are displayed.

  Next, a list of additional products that can be added to the kit and alternative products that can be replaced with standard configuration products is displayed (step S17). Also at this time, as the display of the additional product and the alternative product, for example, the name of each medical device, the icon indicating the medical device, the detailed specification of the device, and the photograph (image) are displayed. The operator selects an additional product or an alternative product from the products (equipment) displayed at this time.

  The CPU 1 determines whether there is a product selected from the additional product or the alternative product displayed in this way (step S18). If there is a selected product, the changed kit configuration is determined. A list is displayed (step S19).

  After that, among the instruments that make up the kit that has been determined so far, a screen for confirming the order in which the instruments are used is displayed, and the instrument is used by performing an operation based on the display on the screen. The order can be corrected (step S20). If there is a correction, the correction order is displayed (step S21).

  When the operations up to here are completed, the CPU 1 calculates the layout of the medical instrument in the case of packing in the packaging container based on the commodities constituting the surgical medical kit and the order of use of the commodities. The entire layout of the appliance is displayed (step S22). At this time, each instrument is displayed as an icon. Then, in a state where the entire layout is displayed, it is determined whether or not a specific product group in the kit has been selected (step S23). If there is a product group selection, the selected product group A detailed layout is displayed (step S24). Also at this time, each medical device is displayed as an icon.

  In the state where this detailed product arrangement is displayed, it is determined whether or not there is a drag-and-drop operation for moving the display icon (step S25). If there is an appropriate operation, the layout is corrected by moving the display icon. And the modified layout is displayed (step S26). When moving this display icon, for example, by moving the icon out of the tray, the corresponding instrument is removed from the kit, and the icon displayed as a selection candidate is moved into the tray and displayed as the icon. The instrument is included in the kit, and the position of the icon is set as the position of the instrument. In addition, it may be configured to store in advance a minimally necessary instrument for general surgery and to display a warning or the like when the selected product does not satisfy this condition.

  Thereafter, the kit design process is completed by performing the process of determining the arrangement of the products in the kit (step S27). A kit designed in this way can be immediately prototyped, for example, by operating the prototype request button shown in FIG.

  Here, examples of displaying the layout in the kit using icons are shown in FIGS. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the product arrangement state of the entire kit as icons. In this example, nurse products, hemostatic products, and bundled products are stored in the right half, and a product pack area is provided in the left half to store mainly products used by doctors as the operation progresses. is there. The products to be modified in the kit design stage are mainly products in this product pack area. For the product pack area, here: 1. Outfit / Drape area 2. Syringe and beaker area Angio product area, 4. 4. Introducer area, Divided into catheter-related product areas.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the overall arrangement as viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 7, the nurse product, the hemostatic product, the packaged product placement area, and the product pack area are shown. FIG. 8 is a view showing the product pack area in a longitudinal section. Here, a state is shown in which the trays are stored in a stack of four stages.

  In consideration of circumstances such as product dimensions, fixed products that cannot be changed in layout can be set in the product pack area. In FIGS. 6 and 8, for example, a very long catheter is preferably a fixed product. Further, for example, the arrangement of the fixed product can be changed. For example, 4. 4. Eliminate the introducer area. An introducer can also be placed in the catheter area (lowermost layer).

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which each of the four trays is individually displayed. In FIG. 9, for example, the upper part (FIG. 9 (b)) and the middle part (FIG. 9 (c)), which are written as the syringe area and the beaker area, are in the lower part. It shows that it is in a state protruding. The arrangement of the syringe area and the beaker area is indicated by icon display in the lower part (FIG. 9D). In this way, the layout is displayed individually for each stage, the layout is confirmed from the icon display, whether it is a layout that can be properly taken out when performing surgery, whether necessary items are included, or You can easily check if there is something unnecessary. It can also be easily corrected by drag and drop.

  Accordingly, by performing the design using the surgical kit design system of the present example, it is possible to easily design a surgical kit suitable for the surgical procedure in each hospital.

  In the kit design process so far, it was explained that the design is simply based on the convenience of surgery, but the price of the surgical kit designed in this way and the cost reduction effect when using the surgical kit May be calculated and presented to the hospital.

  The flowchart of FIG. 10 shows an example of a price quote creation process in the system of this example. After the operation kit has been designed in the above-described process, if there is an operation for selecting the execution of the price estimate creation function, the input of the number of executions of the corresponding operation in the hospital per year (step S31), The contracted quantity (used quantity) is input (step S32), the discount price product is displayed, and the price adjustment process based on the display (step S33) is performed. Based on the input data, the CPU 1 performs a calculation process using the calculation formula of the estimate set in the program of this example, and displays the result as an estimate (step S34). As the estimate display, for example, each product name, specification, unit price, discount price, total amount, etc. are displayed. The displayed estimate may be printed out or sent to the hospital by e-mail.

  By automatically creating an estimate in this way, the price for delivery to the hospital can be immediately determined.

  The flowchart of FIG. 11 shows a process for calculating a cost reduction effect when using a surgical kit designed by the system of this example and creating a proposal for promoting adoption to a hospital. In this case, an operation name and the number of operations performed per year are input (step S41), and the average work cost is displayed (step S42). The average work cost is calculated from the average number of nurses required for the operation, the average labor cost, the average work time, the average operation time, and the like.

  The average work cost is confirmed, and adjustment is performed as necessary (step S43). Further, the disposal cost of the average medical waste is displayed (step S44), and the disposal cost is confirmed and adjusted if necessary (step S45).

  The CPU 1 calculates the cost reduction effect when the surgical kit of this example is used with a calculation formula set in advance in the program based on the data input so far, and displays the result. Cost reduction effects include the effect of product price differences by purchasing products as a kit, the effect of shortening the labor and time required for surgery preparation, the effect of reducing waste, and the reduction of paperwork time There are effects.

  The displayed cost reduction effect may be printed out as a proposal to the hospital or sent to the hospital by e-mail.

  In the embodiment described so far, a program (software) for executing the processing of the above-described embodiment is installed in a general-purpose computer device to form a kit design system. A customized terminal device may be prepared.

  Further, when the program is implemented on a general-purpose computer device, it can be dealt with by recording the program on various recording media and distributing it.
