Description

  The present invention relates to a medical examination management system that supports medical examination work in a medical examination center or the like. In detail, it is related with the medical examination management system which uses a non-contact tag reader.

  Since the 1999 Ministry of Health and Welfare (at that time), medical information has been digitized. This includes digitization of medical records (medical records) describing the medical practice of doctors, interpretation reports in which image diagnosticians (interpretation doctors) summarize image findings, and nursing records. The digitization of medical information increases the time that medical staff can spend on business activities that should be performed, and helps improve the quality of medical care.

  Many people receive a lot of examinations in a short period of time (half day, one day, two days, etc.) at a medical checkup performed at a health checkup center. The examination rooms are distributed in medical institutions, and the examinee moves between the examination rooms. The time required for performing the examination varies depending on the condition of the examinee and the type of examination, and the examinee must pass a lot of waiting time.

  As a method of notifying the waiting time to the examinee, information such as the patient number is stored on the electronic chip attached to the examination ticket, read by a reader prepared for each department, and the reception start time and the like are stored in the patient guidance database. And a method for displaying the route to each department and the waiting time based on such information has been proposed (see, for example, [Patent Document 1]).

JP 2002-123603 A

  However, the conventional method can indicate the waiting time, but cannot specify the next examination to be examined so that the waiting time can be shortened. I can't give it. In addition, there is a problem that the examinee and the medical staff have to read the examination ticket into the reader, which requires time and effort for that purpose.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the medical staff and the medical examination examinee do not operate the terminal, shorten the waiting time of the medical examinee, and further determine the examination subject to be examined next. The purpose is to automatically show to medical staff and examinees.

The medical examination management terminal 105 transmits the examinee ID 312 and the examination room No of the medical examination management terminal 105 to the medical examination management server 101 (step 1202).

  The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examiner ID 901 and the examination room No 902 in the examinee status table 405 and examines the record (steps 1203 and 1204).

  If the record in the examinee status table 405 is “under examination”, “examination end processing” is performed (step 1205). If it is “waiting for consultation”, “examination start processing” is performed (step 1206). If it is “not yet received” or “received”, “error processing” is performed (step 1207).

  FIG. 13 is an “examination end process” when the status of the examinee status table 405 is “under examination”, which is a process for leaving the examination room 103 after receiving the examination subject (FIG. 12: Step 1205).

The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 updates the status of the record in the examinee status table 405 to “examined” (step 1301).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 calculates the examination time from the examination start time 603 of the examination consultation table 402 and the current time, and writes the record of the examination room No 501 of the examination examination completed table 401 (step 1302).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 adds the examination time 505 of the examination received table 401 to the accumulated time of the record of the examination room No 1001 in the examination result time table 406, adds the accumulated examination number 1003, The average inspection time 1004 is calculated and updated (step 1303).

The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examinee ID 703 in the examination consultation waiting table 403 and deletes the record (step 1304).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 updates the scheduled examination start time 704 and the scheduled examination end time 705 of the remaining records in the examination consultation waiting table 403 based on the average examination time 904 calculated in step 1303. (Step 1305).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 initializes the record of the current laboratory number in the examination consultation table 402 (step 1306).

  In the examination end process (FIG. 12: step 1205), a process may be added in which the waiting time is calculated again for the next laboratory that has already been assigned and displayed to the examinee and medical staff at the time of leaving the room. .

  FIG. 14 is an “examination start process” when the status of the examinee status table 405 is “waiting for consultation”, which is a process for entering the examination room 103 when the examination subject is examined (step 1206 in FIG. 12). ).

The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 updates the status of the patient status table 405 to “under examination” (step 1401).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 updates the medical examination start time 603 to the current time with the ID read from the non-contact tag 108 in the medical examination ID table 602 (step 1402).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination order table 404 in the current examination room No. 801 and examines whether or not a retrieval result exists (steps 1403 and 1404). When there is an examination subject that must be examined after the current examination, the next examination room No. 802 is specified as a search result.

  When the next examination room exists, the control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 collates the next examination room No 802 and the examination room No 501 and searches the final record in the examination consultation waiting table 403 (step 1405). There may be a case where there is no record in the examination waiting table 403 of the examination room 103, that is, there is no person 109 waiting for the examination, but the temporary examination person ID is previously stored in the examination waiting table 403. The following process can be performed by holding one record with the mark and setting the consultation end time 705 to the current time when searching.

  Further, the waiting time is calculated from the scheduled diagnosis end time 705 of the last record and the current time, and is transmitted to the medical examination management terminal 105 (step 1406). This waiting time includes the time until the examination subject in the current examination room is completed, so when displaying, this is indicated, or the examination time in the current examination room is determined from the examination result time table 406 or the like. The waiting time can also be indicated by recalculation.

The medical examination management terminal 105 receives data from the medical examination management server 101 and displays the next examination room and the waiting time (step 1407).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 updates the status of the patient status table 405 to “waiting for medical examination” (step 1408).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination result time table 406 for the average examination time 1004 and the scheduled examination end time 705 of the final record in the examination consultation waiting table 403, and based on this, the examination consultation waiting table 403. A new record is added to (step 1409).

  If there is no next examination room in step 1404, the examination room No. 902 in which the situation is “undiagnosed” is searched for the examination person ID 901 from the examination person status table 405, and the presence or absence of an unexamined item is examined ( Step 1410, Step 1411).

  When there is an unexamined examination subject, a process for selecting the one with the shortest waiting time is performed. The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination consultation waiting table 403 for all examination room Nos. 902 of examination results (step 1412).

  Among the records in the examination consultation waiting table 403, the examination completion scheduled time 705 of the final record is compared, and the one closest to the current time is set as the next examination room (step 1413). In this case as well, as in step 1405, there may be a case in which there is no examinee 109 waiting for the examination in the examination room 103, so this is dealt with by a record having a temporary examinee ID. Here, one next inspection room is determined, and the processing of step 1406 to step 1409 is executed in the same manner as when the next inspection room in the specific inspection order is determined in step 1404.

  If there is no unexamined item in step 1411, the examination subject in the current examination room is final. Therefore, an “end message” notifying that the examination is final is transmitted to the medical examination management terminal 105 (step 1414). .

  The medical examination management terminal 105 receives data from the medical examination management server 101 and displays an end message (step 1415).

  FIG. 15 shows processing when the status of the patient status table 405 is “not yet received” or “has been received” (FIG. 12: step 1207). Since the situation at the time of entering and leaving the room is “waiting for consultation” and “under consultation”, the other situations are error processing. First, the control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination room No. 902 for the status of “pending” from the examination person status table 405 based on the examination person ID 312 (step 1501). This is the examination room 103 that should be examined by the examinee 109.

The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 transmits an error message and a correct examination room No 902 to the medical examination management terminal 105 (step 1502).
The medical examination management terminal 105 displays and outputs the message received from the medical examination management server 101 on the output unit 303 (step 1503).

  FIG. 16 shows the next examination room and waiting time display process in the examinee terminal 106. This is a process for making an inquiry in the waiting room 104 in order to confirm the examination room 103 and waiting time that the examinee 109 should receive next. First, the examinee 109 stands in front of the examinee terminal 106. The non-contact tag reader 107 of the examinee terminal 106 reads the examinee ID 312 from the non-contact tag 108 attached to the slipper (step 1601). The examinee terminal 106 transmits the examinee ID 312 to the medical examination management server 101 (step 1602).

The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination room No. 902 of the examination room 103 that is “waiting for medical examination” for the examination person ID 901 in the examination person status table 405 (step 1603).
The control unit 201 of the medical examination management server 101 searches the examination room No 902 of the retrieved examination room No 902, searches the examination person ID 703 of the examination room No 701 in the examination consultation waiting table 403, calculates the waiting time from the scheduled examination start time 704 and the current time. The information is transmitted to the examinee terminal 106 together with the room No. 701 (step 1604).
The examination room No. 701 and the waiting time are received from the medical examination management server 101, and are displayed and output on the output unit 303 (step 1605).

  Through the above process, the medical examination management system 101 maintains the entry time, the exit time, and the examinee status of the examination room for each examinee and each examination room, and refers to the entry time and the withdrawal time for each examination room. Calculate the expected inspection time. In addition, for each laboratory that the patient has not yet visited, the expected waiting time is calculated using the number of other patients waiting to be consulted and the expected examination time, and the laboratory that has the smallest expected waiting time is calculated next time. Assign as laboratory.

As described above, the medical examination management system 101 can calculate and refer to the expected examination time based on the actual examination time of the examinee, thereby minimizing the waiting time. This can improve the efficiency of the medical examination.
Further, by reading the identification information from the non-contact tag attached to the examinee, it is possible to detect the condition of the examinee without operating the terminal when entering or leaving the room.

  In the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 to 16, main processing is performed by the medical examination management server 101, and the information transmitted from the medical examination management server 101 is displayed on the medical examination management terminal 105 and the examinee terminal 106. Although the processing method to output is shown, you may perform in each medical examination management terminal 105 and the examinee terminal 106. FIG. Also, the tables shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 may be held by the storage device 304 of the medical examination management terminal 105 or the examinee terminal 106. Processing and data retention may be distributed between the medical examination management terminal 105, the examinee terminal 106, and the medical examination management server 101.

  In addition to the non-contact tag reading device 107 reading the identification information of the examinee of the non-contact tag 108, a medical worker or the like can input the examinee ID by operating the terminal and can search the next examination room, waiting time, etc. at any time. It is possible to add a mechanism like this.
