Description

 The present invention relates to a nursing support system that supports a nursing operation of a nurse at a medical nursing site such as a hospital or a welfare facility.

Nursing support systems used in medical nursing settings such as hospitals and welfare facilities have a lot of information to cover various information such as patient information, nursing information, and medical information necessary for performing various tasks related to medical nursing. Individual menus are displayed and used.

Examples of individual menus displayed in a list in the system menu include, for example, entrance / exit information, patient personal information, patient history, basic patient information (doctor in charge, nurse in charge, assigned bed number), nursing There are plans, nursing records, ADL, observation items, measurement items, meal / urine / stool, sleep status, vitals, IN / OUT balance, schema, nursing summary, worksheets, and so on.

The usage status of these individual menus varies depending on the timing of input, the contents of nursing work at each step of medical nursing, and who is a medical staff such as a nurse.

For example, consider the hospitalization process steps that occur when a patient is hospitalized and begins treatment.

First, in the system menu, a patient registration menu is selected as an execution menu related to the entrance / exit process, and necessary input operations are executed to return to the system menu. Subsequently, in the same manner, the patient personal information menu, the patient basic information menu, and the past history menu are sequentially selected, and the input operation is performed.

In this case, it is necessary to input data required in each individual menu while going back and forth between the system menu and the four types of individual menus. That is, menu switching operations are many and complicated, and sometimes forgetting to execute necessary individual menus may occur.

As a method for simplifying such complicated menu operations, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for selecting a multi-level menu, which stores a menu selected for each level for each menu item, and displays a menu display. At the same time, the presence or absence of the selected menu in the lower-level menu is displayed for each menu item, and when the selected menu item is instructed for the displayed menu item, that menu is displayed. An invention of a menu selection method characterized by executing a menu stored corresponding to an item is described.

This known invention is considered to facilitate selection of a multi-level menu, but unlike the present invention, it does not enable a plurality of individual menus constituting the highest layer to be operated in a batch.
.... JP-A-7-141137

It is an object of the present invention to select necessary individual menus to be executed at each step of medical nursing in a lump and to execute them continuously so that some menus are not forgotten to be executed.

In addition, when creating a batch execution menu, the present invention allows a user to arbitrarily select and specify individual menus to be executed in a batch, or record actual operation results as a history and execute the contents of the execution history as they are. It is an object to enable an operator to specify whether to use a template or a template prepared in advance as a batch execution menu.

In addition to the system menu, a batch processing menu for selecting one or more individual menus that should be processed collectively in each step of medical nursing and executing them in a batch is registered. , So that execution can be carried out.

Also, registration, execution, and deletion of a batch execution menu are subject to password permission means.
Furthermore, when an individual specific batch processing menu is executed, but one of the individual menus included therein is not executed, the specific batch execution menu name can be distinguished from other batch execution menu names. Therefore, the display mode is varied.

According to the present invention, since necessary individual menus to be executed at each step of medical care can be selected and executed continuously, the menu operation is simplified.

In addition, since the batch process execution file can be created as appropriate from the individual menu batch designation method, the execution history recording method, and the template method, a creation method suitable for the operator and each business step can be selected.

Furthermore, if even one of a plurality of individual menus included in one batch execution file is forgotten, it can be identified from the display mode of the execution menu name, and forgetting to execute the individual menu can be prevented.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a portable terminal of a nursing support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a CPU, 2 is a ROM storing a control program for a portable terminal, 3 is a system program or part program fetched from a data input / output unit 4 or a communication interface, a liquid crystal display unit 6, a touch type operation unit These elements 1 to 7 are connected by a bus 8 in a RAM that stores a part program and various data that are interactively created by 7 or the like.

The communication interface 5 can be connected to the parent device of the nursing support system via a communication line so that data can be exchanged between the portable terminal and the parent device.

The data input / output unit 4 can be made compatible with various input / output devices by being USB compatible.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a system menu screen displayed on the display unit 6 of the parent machine or portable terminal that constitutes the nursing support system. A desired individual menu item can be implemented by touching one of the individual menus constituting the system menu.

In the present invention, an item of batch processing is provided as one of the individual menu items constituting the system menu, and by selecting this batch processing item, a plurality of individual menu items are collected as described later. Can be implemented.

FIG. 3 shows a screen of the batch processing detail menu that is displayed when the batch processing item is selected in the system menu, and the operator name is displayed as the person in charge.

The screen of the batch processing detail menu is composed of a new registration menu and an execution processing menu.

First, the new registration menu can be selected from three types of registration means. In other words, the necessary menus can be arbitrarily selected and specified from a plurality of individual menus. “1. Batch specification” and the result of continuously executing a plurality of individual menus can be registered as an execution history. In order to be able to execute standard individual menus that need to be carried out continuously in each business step of medical care and nursing, it is now possible to select one of “3. Templates” registered in advance. Yes.

The execution processing menu displays the batch execution file names registered and named by any of the above means. In the example shown in the figure, the batch execution file names registered under the names “1, hospitalization process”, “2, observation process”, “3, nursing process” are displayed.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen displayed when the item “1, collective designation” is selected in the new registration menu.

First, a process name is input first, and then a desired number of individual menus to be processed in succession are selected.

Next, when “2, execution history” is selected in the new registration menu, the execution history recording work is started by inputting the registration name of the execution history, and the system menu screen is displayed again. Therefore, the necessary individual menu items are sequentially selected and executed. Finally, by declaring the end of execution history recording, the execution history recording operation is completed and registered as a batch execution file.

FIG. 5 is a screen displayed when “3, template” is selected in the new registration menu.

First, a process name is input, and a desired template is selected from the prepared templates and registered together with the process name. In this template screen, a temporary process name and an individual menu name to be used are respectively displayed. However, when a new process name is assigned and registered, the process name becomes the batch execution file name as shown in FIG. Displayed in the processing details menu.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of screen expansion in one embodiment of the present invention.

Although not shown in the chart, generally, an operator is identified by inputting an ID and a password on a system startup screen, and the system menu is displayed.

Next, when the individual menu for batch processing is selected when the system menu is displayed, the batch processing detail menu is displayed via the password input request screen.

In the batch processing detail menu described above, either new registration or batch processing is selected and the flow branches to each flow.

In the case of new registration, as described above, any one of batch designation, execution history, and template is appropriately selected, and individual menu selection registration, execution history registration, and template registration processing are executed, respectively. Upon completion of execution, the system menu is restored.

On the other hand, in the batch processing menu, a registered batch execution file is selected and executed in accordance with the business processing step.

If there are still unexecuted individual menus after the batch processing is executed, a residual processing warning is displayed before the end.

Next, when remaining processing is executed in response to this warning display, the system menu is restored again.

If the process is forcibly terminated without executing the remaining process, the remaining process flag of the internal table is set to ON and then the system menu is restored.

As described above, when the remaining process flag is ON, when the batch process is selected from the system menu, the batch execution file name whose remaining process flag is ON is highlighted.

For example, the batch execution file name of FIG. 3 is highlighted in black and white, such as “2, observation processing”, or by changing the character font, character color, background color, and the like. By this highlighting, it can be distinguished from other batch execution file names.
