  When a doctor makes rounds for a plurality of patients in charge, the doctor needs to visit each room while checking the patient in charge based on patient information displayed on the corridor lamp. However, if patient information is not displayed on the corridor lamp in order to protect the privacy of the patient, the doctor cannot confirm the target patient even if he / she looks at the corridor lamp. Therefore, a nurse call system is provided in which patient information can be forcibly displayed on the corridor lamp by operating the nurse call master unit at the start of the round and setting the round mode.

  In this kind of nurse call system, the patient information can be displayed only for the corridor lamp of the hospital room where the patient in charge of the selected doctor enters by selecting the doctor performing the round after setting the round mode. Some are made possible. If it does in this way, it will become possible for a doctor to go around each hospital room and to examine a patient in charge using the fact that patient information is displayed on the corridor light.

  However, the number of doctors who make rounds is not necessarily one, and a plurality of doctors may make rounds for each patient in charge during the same time period. In that case, after setting to the round-trip mode, by selecting a plurality of doctors, all the corridor lights of the hospital rooms in which the patients in charge of the selected doctors enter the room are in the patient information display state. For this reason, if a roundabout is performed only with the hallway lamp being in the display state, there is a problem that the patient room to be rotated may be mistaken.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and even when multiple doctors make rounds during the same time period while protecting the privacy of patients, each doctor displays a corridor light. The purpose is to make it possible to make rounds without making a mistake in the room.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, when the round call mode is set in the nurse call master unit, the doctor information representing the doctor in charge of the patient in the hospital room where the corridor lamp is installed is used as the corridor lamp. Send and display.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, when the nurse call master unit is operated and set to the roundabout mode, the doctor information indicating the doctor who performs the roundtrip is displayed on the corridor lamp. As a result, even if multiple doctors make rounds at the same time, it is easy for each doctor to make a round trip by checking whether or not his / her information is displayed on the corridor lights. Can grasp. Patient information is not required for the doctor to grasp the room to be rotated, so that it is not necessary to immediately display patient information on the corridor lamp according to the setting of the round-trip mode, and the privacy of the patient can be protected.
