There is a recovery button 26 for making it happen. The liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b is installed in a four-person room. As shown in the LCD display explanatory diagram of FIG. 3, the screen is divided into approximately four parts, and patient information of four patients is displayed. Are displayed in four patient display areas R1 to R4.

  The nurse call system configured as described above operates as follows. It should be noted that the answer, call, etc. at the nurse call master unit 1 or the portable terminal 6 at the time of calling from the nurse call slave units 3, 4a, 4b are not the gist of the present invention and are omitted, and mainly the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b. The operation will be described.

(1) When directly operating the liquid crystal corridor lamp First, in the standby state where the display operation is not performed, the backlight 19 is turned off and nothing is displayed on the LCD 16. In this state, when the nurse stands in front of the liquid crystal corridor lamp, the human sensor 25 senses it, and a predetermined power supply is performed from the AC inverter 20 to the backlight 19 under the control of the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22. 19 lights up. At this time, a standby screen made up of, for example, a character image stored in advance in the memory 24 is read, and the standby screen is displayed on the LCD 16 via the LCD drive circuit 18.

Next, when the recovery button 26 is subjected to a predetermined operation (for example, a long press operation) by the approaching nurse, the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22 detects this and stores the patient information of all four patients stored in the memory 24. Reading and operating the LCD drive circuit 18, all the patient information is displayed on the patient display areas R1 to R4 assigned to each patient on the LCD 16 as shown in FIG.
This display corresponds to the arrangement of the beds in the hospital room, that is, the patient position. For example, R1 is displayed so as to correspond to the left back bed in the hospital room. In this way, by matching the patient display area to the layout in the hospital room, the patient can be recognized both by name and position, and there will be no mistakes even in an emergency.

Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses after the human sensor 25 no longer detects a person, the backlight 19 is turned off under the control of the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22, and the display returns to the standby state and the patient information display disappears.
In this way, by operating the recovery button of the liquid crystal corridor lamp, patient information can be displayed even when there is no call, and nursing work or the like can be performed smoothly.

(2) When a nurse call master is called from the nurse call slave FIG. 4 shows changes in the display state of the LCD 16 when the bed slave 3 is operated and a call is made, and (a) does not display everything. Or, a standby state in which characters are displayed, (b) is a state immediately after a call is made from the bed slave unit 3, and (c) is patient information in which a call is made and a predetermined operation is performed and a call operation is performed. Is displayed.
When the bed slave unit 3 is operated and a call is made, the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22 detects this call operation and turns on (or blinks) the indicator lamp 21 and displays the patient corresponding to the patient who has performed the call operation. The region R1 is displayed blinking so that it can be identified. However, the patient information is not displayed only by blinking (region R1 shown in FIG. 4B).

  The patient area R1 may be blinked in an identifiable manner upon receipt of the call, but information such as the name that can identify the patient by displaying the nursing information such as the rescue category, infectious disease information, the doctor in charge, the nurse in charge, etc. Other than the above may be displayed. Thereby, it becomes possible to grasp a certain amount of patient information when the corridor lamp is confirmed.

Then, the nurse who knows the call approaches the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b and performs a predetermined operation (for example, a long press operation) on the recovery button 26, so that the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22 performs the calling operation stored in the memory 24. The patient information is read out, and information including the name is displayed in the patient display area corresponding to the operated bed slave unit 3 (the area R1 shown in FIG. 4C).
Thereafter, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22 automatically returns the display on the LCD 16 to the state of FIG. 4B, and when the recovery operation is performed on the nurse call slave side or the like, the liquid crystal corridor lamp CPU 22 of FIG. Return to standby mode.

In this way, even if the liquid crystal corridor lamp that displays a plurality of patient information is provided, the liquid crystal corridor lamp only performs a display operation that makes it possible to identify the patient display area of the patient who has performed the call operation, and other than the patient. Since the patient information is not displayed, privacy can be protected and the nurse can be notified of which bed the call is from.
In addition, since the liquid crystal corridor lamp does not display a name or the like that can identify a patient even if a display operation for identifying the bed position of the patient who has performed the calling operation is performed, privacy of the patient who has performed the calling operation can also be protected.
Further, since the display state of FIG. 4C is automatically returned to the display state of FIG. 4B, patient information is not continuously displayed on the liquid crystal corridor lamp due to the nurse forgetting to operate.

  When the call is received, instead of the long press operation of the recovery button 26, the patient name or the like is displayed as described above when the human sensor 25 detects a person for a predetermined time. Good. Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case of the call from the bed subunit | mobile_unit 3, when a call was made from the subunit | mobile_unit 4a for bathrooms or the subunit | mobile_unit 4b for bathrooms, the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b displays the patient display part. For example, “toilet / bus call” is displayed on the LCD 16.

Patient information and nursing information include name, gender, bed number, patient code, blood type, age, physician in charge, nurse in charge, team nursing team number, disease name, infection, relief category, address, contact information However, the main display items may be selected from these according to the installation environment of the system or the policy of the hospital and displayed on the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b. In this case, it is preferable that basic information (name, etc.) of the patient is displayed as a temporary screen, and further detailed information (disease name, address, contact address, etc.) can be displayed by performing a predetermined operation. However, it is preferable to display the relief classification (single sending, escort, walking alone) together with information (name, etc.) that can identify the patient in an emergency because a quick response can be made at the time of rescue.
Further, the storage of the screen is stored with each liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b having a memory 24. However, the controller 2 has the memory stored therein, the screen is read by the control of the controller 2, and the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b is stored. It may be transmitted and displayed.
In addition, the liquid crystal corridor lamp 5b can display four patients, but in a double room, it is sufficient to provide a patient display area for two persons. A patient display area is provided in accordance with the number of beds in a hospital room. Just do
