Description

  The present invention relates to a call display control device, and is particularly suitable for use in a nurse call system in which a nurse can grasp a patient who does not call much.

  In general, a nurse call system is used in hospitals and care facilities. The nurse call system is used when a patient at a hospital needs nursing support, or when a caregiver at a care facility needs help from a caregiver (hereinafter simply referred to as “patient”). Is a system that can call a nurse or a caregiver (hereinafter referred to as a health care worker) by pressing a call button or the like.

  Many nurse call systems include nurse call cords installed in bedsides, toilets, bathrooms, etc., nurse call master units installed in nurse centers where medical workers are stationed, and entrances to rooms such as hospital rooms and nursing rooms. It is configured with a corridor lamp installed in the vicinity and a controller that performs control related to communication and data transmission / reception. In addition, a nurse call system is also provided in which a mobile medical worker responds to a call by combining a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) terminal carried by a medical worker and a PBX (Private Branch Exchange).

  Some nurse call master units display a display panel with a lamp such as an LED (light-emitting diode) and a patient name associated with each other. In this board-type nurse call master, when a call from a patient occurs, a lamp corresponding to the patient is turned on so that the calling patient can be visually recognized. Some nurse call masters use personal computers. In the nurse call master device using this personal computer, the patient name is laid out and displayed on the display in the same manner as the actual bed layout. When a call is made from a patient, a portion corresponding to the patient is highlighted and displayed (for example, a pop-up display or the like), thereby making it possible to visually recognize which patient has made the call.

There is known a nurse call system that aggregates information such as a call time from a patient, a call time until a call is answered, a call time, and the like and displays the information on a display panel of the nurse call master unit (for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in the conventional nurse call parent device including the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, for the patient who made the call, although information such as the call time, the call time until answering the call, and the call time can be displayed, A patient who has not been called within a predetermined time (in other words, a patient who has been called less frequently) is not visually displayed including information that the call has not been made. Therefore, for example, there has been a problem that it becomes difficult for a medical worker to confirm the state of a patient who has not called. In addition, there is a problem that a patient who does not make a call may not be able to receive sufficient service.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and it is intended to enhance the care for such patients by easily grasping patients who have not been called by medical personnel. The purpose is to do.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, in the call display control device that displays a plurality of patient names on the display unit, the identification information of the calling patient is associated with the time information when the calling is performed. Based on the nurse call information, the frequency of calling within a predetermined time is detected for each patient by the frequency detection unit, and the result of the detected calling frequency is that there is no call within the predetermined time. In this case, the display format of the information related to the corresponding patient is changed, and the display format of the information related to the selected patient is returned to the original state.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, since a patient who has not made a call within a predetermined time is displayed in a display format different from that of other patients, the medical worker can visually recognize a patient who has not made a call. Can be easily grasped, and care for such patients can be enhanced. Also, the patient can receive adequate care without making a call.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a nurse call system including a call display control device according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the nurse call system according to the present embodiment includes a nurse call master unit 1, a controller 2, a corridor lamp 3, a wall-embedded slave unit 4, and a hand-type slave unit 5. .

  The nurse call master unit 1 is installed, for example, in a nurse center where medical personnel are resident. The nurse call base unit 1 includes a handset 1a. The handset 1a is for performing an operation of responding to a call from a patient (calling by a nurse call slave) or an operation of calling a patient (nurse call slave).

  The controller 2 performs control related to call and data transmission / reception. The corridor lamp 3 is installed for each hospital room on the wall surface near the entrance of the hospital room, and displays the name of the patient in the hospital room. The corridor lamp 3 displays that the call has been made when the patient in the hospital room calls the medical staff. The corridor lamp 3 is provided with a recovery button 3a that is operated by a medical worker in response to canceling the display of the call when a patient in the hospital room calls the medical worker.

  The wall-embedded child device 4 is a nurse call child device embedded in the bedside wall surface of each patient in a hospital room, and is connected to a corridor lamp. The wall-embedded handset 4 is a call button for a medical worker to call another nurse or the like in an emergency, and when a patient calls a medical worker, the nurse operates to return to the original state. Recovery button, and an outlet for connecting the hand-type slave unit 5. Moreover, the wall-embedded handset 4 includes a microphone and a speaker, which are used when a patient has a conversation with a medical staff, as necessary.

  The hand-type child device 5 is a nurse call child device connected to an outlet of the wall-mounted child device 4 so that each patient in the hospital room can perform a call operation and a call at hand. The hand-type slave unit 5 includes a call button for a patient to call a medical staff, and a microphone and a speaker used when the patient has a conversation with the medical staff.

  Next, the configuration of the nurse call parent device 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the nurse call parent device 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the nurse call master unit 1 includes an interface unit 21, an operation detection unit 22, an information recording unit 23, a slave unit information acquisition unit 24, and a storage unit 25 (in the nurse call information storage unit of the claims). Applicable), a patient information storage unit 26, a frequency detection unit 27, a display control unit 28, a display 29 (corresponding to a display unit in claims), and a selection operation unit 30.

  The interface unit 21 performs a call and data transmission / reception with the controller 2. For example, the interface unit 21 inputs slave unit information (corresponding to patient identification information in claims) sent from the corridor lamp 3 via the controller 2. That is, when the patient calls the medical staff by pressing the call button of the hand-type slave unit 5, the slave unit information for identifying the nurse call slave unit that has made the call (for example, the ID of the slave unit) Is input from the corridor lamp 3 to the interface unit 21 of the nurse call master unit 1 via the controller 2. And the subunit | mobile_unit information acquisition part 24 acquires the subunit | mobile_unit information input into the interface part 21. FIG.

  The operation detection part 22 detects the presence or absence of the call from a patient. That is, when the patient calls the medical worker by pressing the call button of the hand-type slave unit 5, a signal indicating that the call has been made is input to the operation detection unit 22 via the interface unit 21, The presence or absence of a call is detected based on the presence or absence of this signal. Moreover, the operation detection part 22 acquires the time when the call was performed by the patient as call time information. Here, the operation detection unit 22 has a clock function, and a signal indicating that the patient has called the medical staff by pressing the call button of the hand-type slave unit 5 is operated via the interface unit 21. The time when it is input to the detection unit 22 is acquired by a clock function.

  In addition, the operation detection unit 22 receives instructions for various operations from the medical staff on the operation screen displayed on the display 29. For example, when pressing of the low frequency button 102 is detected in FIG. 4 to be described later, the frequency detection unit 27 is instructed to detect a patient with a low call operation frequency.

  The information recording unit 23 mutually transmits the slave unit information acquired by the slave unit information acquisition unit 24 when the operation detection unit 22 detects a call from the patient and the call time information acquired by the operation detection unit 22. The associated information is recorded in the storage unit 25 as nurse call information.

  The patient information storage unit 26 stores patient information in association with child device information. The patient information includes, for example, information such as a patient ID given to an individual patient, a patient's name, sex, date of birth, patient number, examination number, hospital room, bed number, and symptoms.

  The information recording unit 23 may record the patient identification information in association with the call time information instead of the child device information. In this case, the information recording unit 23 stores table information that associates the child device information assigned to the hand-shaped child device 5 so as to be identifiable with the identification information of the patient who uses the hand-shaped child device 5. ing. Here, the patient identification information may be, for example, a patient ID assigned to an individual patient or a patient's name. The information recording unit 23 stores the identification information of the patient and the call time information acquired by the operation detection unit 22 in the storage unit 25 in association with each other as nurse call information.

  In such a case, the patient information storage unit 26 does not have to store the patient information in association with the child device information because the stored patient information includes the patient identification information.

  When the operation detection unit 22 detects that the low frequency button 102 is pressed, the frequency detection unit 27 is based on nurse call information stored in the storage unit 25 within a predetermined time (for example, from 4 hours ago). The frequency of the call operation is detected for each patient in a recent time zone such as the present time or an arbitrary time zone designated by a medical staff. Then, the frequency detection unit 27 identifies a patient who does not have a call operation (or has few call operations).

  The display control unit 28 refers to the patient information stored in the patient information storage unit 26, and displays the display format of the patient-related information displayed on the display 29 for the patient that has not been called by the frequency detection unit 27. Make it different. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a patient display format including a patient who does not have a call operation. In FIG. 4, when the medical staff presses the low frequency button 102, the operation detection unit 22 detects the operation instruction, detects the frequency of the call operation to the frequency detection unit 27, and identifies the patient who does not have the call operation. To instruct.

  When the frequency detection unit 27 identifies a patient who does not have a call operation within a predetermined time, the display control unit 28, as shown in FIG. 103) blinks and is displayed. At this time, the information on the patient shown in FIG. 3 is arranged and displayed in the same manner as the actual room layout, and the information on the corresponding patient is blinked and displayed as shown in FIG.

  The selection operation unit 30 is for selecting the patient display unit 103 displayed blinking. When the patient display unit 103 of a patient who does not perform a call operation within a predetermined time is displayed blinking, the medical staff performs care for these patients as necessary. Then, the medical worker selects a patient who has performed care using the selection operation unit 30. Thereby, the display control unit 29 returns the patient display unit 103 selected by the selection operation unit 30 out of the patient display units 103 displayed in a blinking manner to the original state and displays it on the display 29.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, based on the nurse call information in which the identification information of the patient who made the call and the time information at which the call was made are associated, the call within a predetermined time When the frequency is detected for each patient by the frequency detection unit 27 and the result of the detected call frequency is that there is no call within a predetermined time, the display control unit 28 displays information on the corresponding patient. Are displayed on the display 29 and the display format of the information on the patient selected by the selection operation unit 30 is returned to the original state. As a result, patients who have not made a call within a predetermined time are displayed in a display format different from other patients, so that a medical worker can easily grasp a patient who has not made a call visually. , Can enhance the care for such patients. The patient can also receive adequate care without having to call.

  In the above-described embodiment, information related to a patient who has not been called within a predetermined time is blinked and displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display control unit 28 may change the display color of information related to a patient who has not been called within a predetermined time. In addition to this, any form as long as it is displayed so that information regarding a patient who has been called within a predetermined time and information regarding a patient who has not been called within a predetermined time can be visually distinguished. But it ’s okay.

  Moreover, although embodiment mentioned above demonstrated the nurse call main | base station 1 using a personal computer, it is not limited to this. For example, a board-type nurse call parent device provided with a light emitting unit such as an LED in the vicinity of the patient name may be used. When such a board-type nurse call parent device is used, its functional configuration uses an illuminant control unit instead of the display control unit 28 in FIG. 2 and uses LEDs instead of the display 29.

  In addition, the said embodiment is only what showed the example in implementation in implementing this invention, and, as a result, the technical scope of this invention should not be interpreted limitedly. In other words, the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit or main features thereof.
