Next, the operation of the nurse call system configured as described above will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of an operation when a request operation is performed using the bedside terminal 1 of the nurse call system. First, the operation using the bedside terminal 1 is briefly described based on this flow. To do.
When a hospitalized patient issues a request to a nurse or family member, the bedside terminal 1 is operated to open the menu screen from the standby screen, and then to the requirement selection screen for selecting a requirement item from the menu screen. Enter (S1).

When a list of messages is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101, a message desired by the patient is selected from the list (S2). It is determined whether the selected requirement is notified to the nurse or the family, and at least one of them is notified.
In this way, if the selected requirement is a content for the nurse, it is transmitted to the nurse call parent device 5 (Yes in S3), and if it is a requirement for the family, it is mailed to the registered family mobile phone 4. It is transmitted (S4).

If it is an item required for the nurse, a screen for nominating the nurse is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101, and the nurse can be nominated (S5). Upon receiving the nomination operation, the handy terminal 5b carried by the designated nurse is notified by a ringing tone or e-mail (S6) and waits for treatment.
When there is no nomination of a nurse, both the stationary base unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b are notified (S9, S10) and wait for treatment. However, when the notification to the handy terminal 5b is mail setting in the bedside control device 3 (Yes in S7), the mail is transmitted (S8).

  In this way, when the nurse who has grasped the requirements notified from the patient goes to the patient and the necessary treatment is completed, an operation for completing the treatment is performed at the bedside terminal 1 (S11). With this operation, the treatment history is recorded in the server 6, and the requested operation is completed.

  This will be described in detail below. For example, a case where the patient on the bed in the room 101 notifies the nurse that the end of infusion is approaching will be described as an example. When the bedside terminal 1 is operated by the patient and the operation unit 102 receives a predetermined operation, a message selection screen is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101 under the control of the bedside terminal CPU 109. When “Drip end” is selected by the patient's touch operation or the like from the displayed message selection screen, and then the “Notification” button (not shown) is operated by the touch operation or the like, “Drip end” is displayed. Recognizing the selection, the bedside terminal CPU 109 reads from the notification destination storage unit 107 that “end of infusion” is an item to be notified to the nurse. The requirement selection screen displays a plurality of requirements such as “toilet assistance”, “posture change”, and “condition deterioration” in addition to “drip end”.

As a result, a nurse selection screen for selecting the notification destination nurse is displayed next. This display information is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101 by the bedside terminal CPU 109 reading the information from the notification destination storage unit 107.
However, the case where a notification destination is not selected will be described here. When a predetermined selection completion operation is performed without performing a selection operation, a notification signal is output from the bedside terminal 1.

The bedside terminal CPU 109 receives the selection of “Drip end”, adds this information, and transmits it from the bedside terminal IF 110 to the bedside control device 3. This signal is also output including mail information such as “Drip ends”.
Then, the bedside control device 3 recognizes that the notification destination is a nurse, sends a notification signal of “No. 101 drip end” to the control device 7, and notifies the server 6 of “end of drip” The server 6 records that there is a communication history. In addition, when [ringing sound + mail] is set for the handy terminal 5b, for example, a notification signal including a mail text “Drip ends” is transmitted.

  Further, the bedside terminal 1 for which the end of the infusion is selected holds the display of “end of infusion” on the message selection screen by the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Calling. Please wait for a while”.

  Upon receiving the “Drip end” notification signal, the control device CPU 704 refers to the notification destination storage unit 703, and the request content “Drip end” moves not only in the nurse station but also in the facility. A notification is sent to both the stationary base unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b, and a notification signal of “end of infusion” is transmitted.

In response to the notification signal of “Drip end”, the base unit CPU 506 causes the ringing sound from the sound report unit 502 to be displayed, and the display 501 displays “No. 101 drip end”. Let
The handy terminal 5b receives the notification signal “Drip end” and causes the handy terminal CPU 516 to ring a ringing tone from the sound report unit 512 and to display the characters “No. 101 drip ends” on the display 511. By this operation, it is possible to inform the nurse that the patient is requesting a response at the end of the infusion. In this way, by displaying the patient's requirements as text information also on the handy terminal 5b, it is possible to grasp the contents of the request from the patient without responding, and the nurse is easy to deal with.
If the notification to the handy terminal 5b is not the mail setting but [ringing tone + simple character information], for example, “101 text” is simply displayed on the display 511 with numbers and katakana.

  When a nurse who recognizes the notification performs a response operation on either the stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b, the stationary base unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b which have been ringing and displaying the request information are notified. Is finished and a speech path formation signal is transmitted to the control device 7. Receiving this signal, the control device 7 forms a communication path between the stationary master unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b to which the control device CPU 704 responds and the nurse call cordless handset 2, and can talk between the patient and the nurse. It becomes. In addition, since the nurse who received the notification can grasp the requirement from the patient by the character information, the ringing of the ringing tone may be set to be completed in a short time so that the response operation can be omitted.

In this way, the nurse who has confirmed that the patient is requesting the response at the end of the infusion goes to the patient and the response at the end of the infusion is performed. At this time, the bedside terminal 1 keeps displaying “Drip end” on the screen by the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Waiting for a while. When the personal identification number is input from the ID information input unit 106, the displayed screen disappears, and a completion input unit 104 for performing a treatment completion operation is displayed on the touch panel. Specifically, a “treatment completed” button is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101 which is a touch panel. If the password is incorrect and authentication is not possible, an error is displayed and the “treatment complete” button is not displayed.
When the “treatment completed” button displayed in this way is operated, the bedside terminal CPU 109 sends a completion signal to the server 6 to end a series of request operations, and the bedside terminal display unit 101 receives a standby (not shown). A screen is displayed.

FIG. 4 shows the outline of the flow of this treatment completion operation. More specifically, the nurse who has completed the procedure inputs a personal identification number to the bedside terminal 1 (S101). When the bedside terminal CPU 109 verifies the input personal identification number information with the information registered in the ID information storage unit 702 of the control device 7 and authenticates the registered nurse, the “treatment complete” button is displayed. Is displayed on the bedside terminal display unit 101 to notify the nurse that the password has been authenticated.
When the displayed “treatment completed” button is touched by the nurse (S102), the bedside terminal 1 closes the input screen (S103), and the treatment is completed in the server 6 via the bedside control device 3. To be notified.
The server 6 that has received the notification of the treatment completion records and saves it as the treatment history of the patient together with the request contents received at the time of the notification of the requirements (S104). In this way, a series of operations of the request operation for the nurse is completed.

Note that the operation for notifying the completion of treatment can also be performed from the stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b. In this case, by performing a predetermined operation on the operation units 503 and 513, the ID information input units 504 and 514 are input, and by inputting the personal identification number, the master CPU 506 is controlled by the control device as in the operation of the bedside terminal 1. 7 is collated with the registered password information, and if it is a registered password, an input screen of “treatment completed” is displayed on the display 501. The handy terminal CPU 516 displays the procedure for the treatment completion operation on the display 511.
In response to this display, the bed number of the notification source is selected and the “treatment completed” button is operated. Alternatively, completion of treatment is input by performing an end input with a numeric keypad or the like in accordance with an instruction on the display 511 (S105, S106). In response to this operation completion operation, the stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b closes the input screen (S103) and notifies the server 6 of the completion of the treatment for the selected bed number. The server 6 receives this notification and records it as a treatment history (S104).

Here, a case where a specific nurse is designated on the above-described nurse selection screen will be described.
On the nurse selection screen, a list of names of nurse teams in charge of the patient is displayed and can be arbitrarily selected. When a nurse is selected from these, a notification signal “Drip end” with the selected nurse ID information attached is output from the bedside terminal 1 to the bedside control device 3.
In the control device 7 that has received the notification signal “end of infusion”, the control device CPU 704 reads the ID information attached to the notification signal, identifies the corresponding handy terminal 5b with reference to the ID information storage unit 702, A notification signal is transmitted to the specified handy terminal 5b. The subsequent response operation by the nurse, the operation completion operation, the history registration operation in the server 6 and the like are the same as the above operations.
In this way, when notifying the requirement to the nurse, the patient can designate the notification-destination nurse, so that the patient can convey the requirement with peace of mind.

Next, a case where a patient who is in bed requests a matter that should be dealt with when the nurse is not busy, such as a change in position, will be described. The patient operates the operation unit 102 of the bedside terminal 1 to display the message selection screen, selects “change body position” from the message selection screen, and presses the “notification” button. The bedside terminal 1 for which the posture change has been selected holds the message “Change in posture” on the message selection screen by the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Calling. Please wait for a while”.
In addition, the bedside terminal CPU 109 receives the selection of “change of body position”, reads from the notification destination storage unit 107 that the notification is to the nurse, adds this information to the bedside control device 3 from the bedside terminal IF 110. Send.

  The bedside control device 3 recognizes that the notification destination is a nurse, sends a notification signal to the control device 7, and notifies the server 6 that there has been a request for a posture change. The server 6 receives this notification and records it as a communication history.

  Upon receiving this notification signal, the control device 7 controls the control device CPU 704 to read the notification destination when the requirement is “posture change” from the notification destination storage unit 703 and notify only the set stationary base unit 5a. To implement. In the case of a request for changing the posture, it is sufficient to call only the nurse station, not so much as to call the nurse moving in the facility, so that a notification signal is sent only to the stationary base unit 5a.

Upon receiving the “posture change” notification signal, the base unit CPU 506 causes the main unit CPU 506 to ring a ringing sound from the sound reporting unit 502 and display the “posture change” characters on the display 501 so that the patient can change the posture. Communicate what you are requesting.
When the nurse who recognizes the ringing tone performs a response operation from the stationary base unit 5a, the stationary base unit 5a that has performed the ringing sound and the request display ends the notification operation, and the above-described infusion is completed. Similarly, a call path is formed with the nurse call cordless handset 2 and a call can be made with the patient.

The nurse who understands that the patient is requesting a change of position through display and a call goes to the patient and changes the position. At this time, the bedside terminal 1 keeps the display of “position change” on the screen by the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Waiting for a while. Please wait for a while”. When the personal identification number is input from the ID information input unit 106, the displayed screen disappears, and a “treatment complete” button for inputting treatment completion is displayed.
When the “treatment completed” button displayed in this way is touch-operated, the bedside terminal CPU 109 sends a completion signal to the server 6 to end a series of request operations, and the bedside terminal display unit 101 waits for an unillustrated wait. The reception screen is displayed. In this case, the completion operation can also be performed from the nurse call parent device 5 and is the same as the case of the end of the infusion described above.

  In this way, it is possible not to notify the handy terminal 5b for simple urgent matters such as position changes, but to operate the nurse station so that the nurses in the room can respond. The burden on the teacher can be reduced.

  Next, the operation when the nurse call handset 2 is operated will be described. When the patient in bed wants to notify the nurse of an emergency request, for example, when nausea makes him feel sick, the patient first presses the nurse call grip button 201 of the nurse call handset 2. Press. By this operation, a call signal is transmitted from the nurse call slave unit 2 to the control device 7.

  In the control device 7 that has received the call signal, the control device CPU 704 transmits the call signal to both the stationary base unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b. Even if the control device CPU 704 gives priority to the transmission of the call signal and receives the notification signal from the bedside control device 3, if it receives the call signal from the nurse call slave device 4, the control device CPU 704 receives the call signal from the bedside control device 3. Cancels the notification signal as invalid regardless of the request.

  In the stationary master unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b that have received the call signal, the sound reporting units 501 and 512 sound a ring tone, and the characters “nurse call” are displayed on both displays 501 and 511. As a result, it is possible to inform the nurse that the patient is requesting an emergency response. Thus, since the call by the nurse call cordless handset 2 is prioritized over the requirements from the bedside terminal 1, the nurse is easy to deal with.

Further, although the notification signal is not canceled for the operation of the bedside terminal 1 performed after the operation of the nurse call handset 2, the items that can be selected by operating as follows are limited.
Receiving the call signal, the control device CPU 704 transmits a nurse call priority signal to the bedside terminal 1 paired with the nurse call slave unit 2. The nurse call priority signal is transmitted to the bedside terminal 1 making a pair via the server 6 and the bedside control device 3.
As a result, when the bedside terminal 1 that has received the nurse call priority signal receives a display operation of the message selection screen, the bedside terminal CPU 109 performs display control so as to limit the selectable requirements. In this case, only highly urgent items linked to the nurse call are displayed.

When “bad feeling” is selected from the displayed selection screen and the “notification” button is pressed, the bedside terminal 1 determines that the bedside terminal CPU 109 stores the notification destination from the selection of “bad feeling”. Referring to the unit 107, the notification destination is recognized as a nurse, and a notification signal including selection information “I feel bad” is transmitted to the bedside control device 3.
In addition to the message screen such as “Calling. Please wait for a while”, the screen memory 103 holds the message “I feel bad” on the message selection screen.

  Receiving this notification signal, the bedside control device 3 recognizes that the notification destination is a nurse, sends a notification signal to the control device 7, and notifies the server 6 that the patient feels “bad”. And the server 6 records it as a communication history.

When the control device CPU 704 receives a signal to be notified from the bedside control device 3 to the nurse after receiving the calling signal, the control device CPU 704 transmits the received notification signal to the nurse call parent device 5 without canceling.
As a result, on the display 501 of the stationary base unit 5a, a character “bad feeling” is additionally displayed below the display of “nurse call”. In addition, the handy terminal 5 b rings a ringing tone and two information “nurse call” and “kibun” are displayed on the display 511. However, if “feeling bad” is set to “ringing sound + mail” in the bedside control device 3, in addition to “nurse call”, information such as “please feel bad” is displayed on the handy terminal 5b. Is displayed.

  In this way, when the call by the nurse call cordless handset 2 is made, the requirements that can be selected by the patient are reduced to, for example, urgent matters, so that the nurse is notified by the nurse call and the bedside terminal 1. The contents of the call can be grasped and smooth response is possible. Further, the call by the nurse call slave unit 2 and the fact that no urgency is required are not combined, and the nurse call slave unit 2 is not abused.

  When the call is received and the nurse responds with either the stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b, the stationary base unit 5a and the handy terminal 5b which have been ringing and displaying the call end the calling operation, The stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b that has responded forms a speech path with the nurse call slave unit 2. In this case as well, the nurse who has received the notification can understand the requirements from the patient by text information, so that the ringing of the ringing tone should be completed in a short time and the response operation can be omitted. Also good.

In this manner, the nurse who grasps the contents of the call operation by the patient by calling display and calling, goes to the patient and performs necessary treatment. At this time, the bedside terminal 1 keeps the display of “bad feeling” on the screen by the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Waiting for a while, please wait”. Is performed and the treatment completion operation described above is performed, the treatment completion notification is made from the bedside terminal 1 to the server 6 via the bedside control device 3, and the server 6 records the treatment history. Also, the bedside terminal display unit 101 returns to the standby screen display.
Similar to the above-described operation, the operation completion operation can also be performed by the stationary base unit 5a or the handy terminal 5b.

  The bedside terminal 1 that has received the refusal signal erases the display of the message screen such as “I feel bad” or “I am calling, please wait for a while” on the screen that the bedside terminal CPU 109 holds, and is in a standby state. Return to. Thus, the requirement is canceled.

Next, an operation for notifying a family of a requirement will be described. For example, when a patient in bed gives notification of a requirement that can be handled by a family such as watering a flower, the patient operates the operation unit 102 of the bedside terminal 1 to display a requirement selection screen. Select "Watering flowers" from the message selection screen and press the "Notify" button.
The bedside terminal CPU 109 for which “flower watering” is selected holds the display of “flower watering” on the screen memory 103 together with a message screen such as “Calling. Please wait for a while”.

  In response to the selection of “watering of flowers”, the bedside terminal CPU 109 recognizes that only the family is notified from the information in the notification destination storage unit, and transmits a notification signal with this information added to the bedside control device 3. . The bedside control device 3 recognizes that the notification destination is a family and transmits a notification signal to the mobile phone 4 via the server 6, the public communication network N, and the mobile phone control device 11. At the same time, the fact that there was a notification of watering the flowers from the patient in the hospital room to the server 6 is transmitted to the server 6 and the server 6 records it as a communication history. However, here, it is assumed that the notification setting to the portable terminal 4 in the bedside control device 3 is [ringing sound + simple character information].

The mobile phone 4 that has received this notification signal causes a ringing tone to sound by a not-shown sounding unit and displays “Hana no earthworm” on the display unit. When the family who notices the call performs a response operation on the mobile phone 4, a response signal is transmitted to the server 6 along a path opposite to the notification signal. The server 6 recognizes that it is a response signal and transmits it to the control device 7. Upon receiving this response signal, the control device 7 controls the control device CPU 704 to form a communication path between the nurse call slave unit 2 and the mobile phone 4, and the communication path between the nurse call slave unit 2 and the mobile phone 4. Is formed.
Thus, the family who recognizes that the patient is requesting watering of the flowers through the call can go to the patient and water the flowers.

  In addition, when the notification setting to the mobile terminal 4 in the bedside control device 3 is set to [ringing sound + email], an e-mail such as “Please water the flowers” is sent to the mobile phone 4. The family who is sent and receives the call can easily recognize that the patient is requesting “watering the flowers” by reading the mail. Further, when the request information is notified only to the family in this way, the bedside terminal CPU 109 does not hold and control a message screen such as “Calling. Please wait for a while”.

In this way, the patient can select a requirement from a plurality of displayed requirements and transmit it at least to the nurse according to the contents, so that the requirement can be accurately transmitted to the nurse. Further, since the number of items to be selected is determined by the requirement storage unit 108, that is, the memory capacity, a large number of items to be selected can be set, and a wide range of items can be selected. And it is not necessary to create a transmission sentence and can be transmitted with a simple operation.
Moreover, since notification to a nurse or notification to a family is selected according to a requirement, notification to a medical worker is not made unnecessarily, and the burden on the medical worker can be reduced.
Furthermore, when notifying the nurse, not only the nurse station but also the individual nurse is notified directly, so that the requirements from the patient can be reliably communicated to the medical staff.
In addition, since the patient's treatment history is updated by completing the operation after the nurse performs the treatment for the requirement from the patient, it is not necessary to create a treatment history again, and the work burden on the nurse can be reduced. . And since personal authentication is performed by inputting a personal identification number and a treatment completion operation is possible, it is possible to prevent an input of a treatment history due to an erroneous operation or an input by a third party.

In the above-described embodiment, the medical worker is described as a nurse. Moreover, although the non-medical worker was explained as a family, it includes an attendant and a helper who are not a family.
In addition, the nurse is authenticated by inputting a personal identification number. However, when authenticating with the bedside terminal 1 or the stationary base unit 5a, an RFID reading unit is provided in the ID information input unit, and the RFID card is carried by the nurse. Then, ID authentication may be performed simply by tampering with the card, and personal authentication may be performed.
