As the nurse identifier, for example, a nurse name, a nurse ID assigned in advance to each nurse, and the like can be used. The “terminal identifier” stores an identifier (terminal identifier) of the nurse terminal 30 carried by the corresponding nurse. As the terminal identifier, for example, an IP address, a MAC address, a device individual number, or the like assigned in advance to each nurse terminal 30 can be used. Further, the set of the nurse identifier and the terminal identifier stored in the nurse management file 163 may be dynamically updated according to the nurse identifier and the terminal identifier input from the nurse terminal 30. Note that the data structure of the nurse management file 163 is not limited to the example of FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data configuration of the work schedule management file 164. As shown in the figure, the work schedule management file 164 has “nurse identifier”, “work schedule”, “return notification flag”, “additional condition”, and “status flag” as data items. Items are managed in association with each other.

  The “nurse identifier” stores the nurse identifier of each nurse. Here, the nurse identifier stored in the work schedule management file 164 corresponds to the nurse identifier in the nurse management file 163.

  The “work schedule” stores work schedules for a predetermined period (for example, 2 hours, 1 day, etc.) of the corresponding nurse. Specifically, the “work schedule” includes data items such as “patient identifier”, “work position”, and “work content”.

  Here, the “patient identifier” stores the patient identifier of the patient who is the subject of the work (nursing work). The patient identifier stored in the work schedule management file 164 corresponds to the patient identifier in the patient management file 162.

  Further, the “work position” stores the patient's bed position, bed number, room number, etc., as the position where the corresponding patient is treated. Further, the “work content” stores the content of the treatment to be performed on the corresponding patient (for example, vital check or medication). Note that the data items included in the “work schedule” are not limited to the above example, and may include other data items such as a scheduled time for starting a treatment (work), for example.

  The “return notification flag” stores flag information for identifying whether or not a return notification to be described later is set in the corresponding work schedule. In this embodiment, for example, a binary numerical value (0/1) is used as the return notification flag, and the numerical value indicates whether the setting of the return notification is valid or invalid. Note that the initial state of the return notification flag is “invalid”.

  In “additional conditions”, various conditions that are set as additional conditions in accordance with the setting of return notification described later are stored. A specific example of the additional condition will be described later.

  In the “status flag”, flag information for representing the work status of the work schedule is stored. In the present embodiment, for example, a binary numerical value (0/1) is used as the status flag, and the numerical value represents the two states of “work in progress” and “work completed” in the work schedule. Further, it is assumed that the initial state of the state flag is empty (NULL). Note that the data structure of the work schedule management file 164 is not limited to the example of FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the communication I / F 17 is an interface for connecting to the network N. The communication I / F 17 exchanges various information between the nurse terminal 30 and the sensor device 40 via the access point 20 connected to the network N.

  Next, characteristic functions of the business support server 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the CPU 11 cooperates with a predetermined program stored in the ROM 12 or the storage unit 16, as shown in FIG. 2, the work schedule providing unit 111, the return notification setting unit 112, the return monitoring unit 113, and the work state management unit 114. Is realized as a functional unit.

  The work schedule providing unit 111 extracts a work schedule associated with the nurse identifier from the work schedule management file 164 based on the nurse identifier input from the nurse terminal 30. In addition, the work schedule providing unit 111 notifies the extracted work schedule to the nurse terminal 30 having the terminal identifier stored in the nurse management file 163 in association with the nurse identifier of the work schedule. Of the work schedules stored in the work schedule management file 164, those whose status flags are “working” and “working complete” are excluded from extraction targets.

  When the return notification setting unit 112 receives from the nurse terminal 30 a return notification setting that specifies a work schedule to be a return notification, the return notification setting unit 112 validates the return notification flag of the work schedule specified by the setting notification. When the received setting notification includes an additional condition, the return notification setting unit 112 validates the return notification flag of the work schedule specified by the setting notification and sets the additional condition in the additional condition column. To do.

  For each work schedule for which the return notification flag is valid, the return monitoring unit 113 obtains a sensor identifier corresponding to the patient identifier (or work position) included in the work schedule from the sensor management file 161 and the patient management file 162. When specified, monitoring of the sensing result input from the sensor device 40 corresponding to the sensor identifier is started.

  Further, the return monitoring unit 113 detects a return from the absence of the patient at the installation position (hospital position) of the sensor device 40 based on the sensing result of the sensor device 40 as the monitoring target. When the return monitoring unit 113 detects the return of the patient to the hospitalization position, the return monitoring unit 113 uses the notification information for notifying the return of the patient and the work schedule including the hospitalization position of the patient as a return notification to care for the work schedule. It transmits to the nurse terminal 30 corresponding to the nurse identifier.

  Moreover, the return monitoring unit 113 cancels the monitoring state by invalidating the return notification flag of the corresponding work schedule after the return notification to the nurse terminal 30. In the present embodiment, the work schedule is transmitted as a return notification. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the work schedule may not be transmitted.

  In addition, the detection method of the patient in the return monitoring unit 113 is not particularly limited, and various methods can be employed. For example, when a result indicating the presence / absence of a person is input as a sensing result of the sensor device 40, the return monitoring unit 113 receives a result indicating the presence of a person, and the work that is the target of the return notification You may determine with having detected the patient corresponding to the patient identifier of a schedule. When the patient identifier is directly input as the sensing result of the sensor device 40, the return monitoring unit 113 compares the patient identifier received from the sensor device 40 with the patient identifier of the work schedule that is the target of the return notification. However, it may be determined that the patient has been detected when the two patient identifiers match.

  Further, the return monitoring unit 113 performs an operation corresponding to the additional condition for the work schedule for which the additional condition is set when monitoring the sensing result or notifying the work schedule. The additional conditions are not particularly limited. For example, a time limit for monitoring the return of the patient (hereinafter referred to as a time limit condition), a waiting time until the return notification is made after the presence of the patient is detected. What is defined (hereinafter referred to as a waiting time condition).

  When a time limit condition is set as an additional condition, the return monitoring unit 113 uses a timekeeping means (not shown) such as RTC (Real Time Clock) to calculate the elapsed time since the return notification flag is validated. The measurement result is continuously monitored until the elapsed time reaches the time limit set in the time limit condition. When the time limit is reached without detecting the presence of the patient, the monitoring state is canceled by invalidating the return notification flag and clearing the additional condition column. In addition, when the time limit is reached without detecting the presence of a patient, a notification may be sent to the corresponding nurse terminal 30.

  When the standby time condition is set as the additional condition, the return monitoring unit 113 measures the elapsed time after detecting the presence of the patient by using a time measuring means (not shown) such as RTC. When the elapsed time reaches the standby time set in the standby time condition, the return monitoring unit 113 transmits a return notification to the corresponding nurse terminal 30. In this case, the standby time set as the standby time condition may be included in the return notification.

  When the work state management unit 114 receives an execution notification designating a specific work schedule from the nurse terminal 30, the work state management unit 114 sets flag information indicating “working” in the state flag of the work schedule. When the work state management unit 114 receives a completion notification designating a specific work schedule from the nurse terminal 30, the work state management unit 114 sets flag information indicating “work complete” in the state flag of the work schedule.

As shown in the figure, the work schedule display unit 312 displays the work schedules Sc1 to Sc3 notified from the work support server 10 in a selectable manner. The operator of the nurse terminal 30 can select a work schedule to be executed via the input unit 34. When the work schedule to be executed is selected, the work schedule display unit 312 causes the display unit 35 to display a screen (for example, a vital value input screen) according to the work content of the work schedule. When the cancel button B1 is operated, the work schedule display unit 312 is assumed to delete the screen shown in FIG.

  In addition, the work schedule display unit 312 displays a button B2 for enabling the return notification function of the business support server 10 described above in association with each work schedule. Furthermore, when the button B2 is pressed, the work schedule display unit 312 causes the display unit 35 to display a setting screen for setting additional conditions.

  Here, FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an additional condition setting screen displayed on the display unit 35 of the nurse terminal 30. In the figure, a setting screen for a time limit condition and a standby time condition is shown as an additional condition. Check boxes CB1 and CB2 indicate whether or not to apply the time limit condition and the standby time condition. If none of the check boxes is checked, the additional condition is empty (NULL).

  In FIG. 9, area A1 is an input area for inputting a time limit set as a time limit condition. The area A2 is an input area for inputting a waiting time set as a waiting time condition. The button B3 is for instructing confirmation of the return notification. When the operator of the nurse terminal 30 presses the button B3, the return notification setting unit 313 is notified that the work schedule corresponding to the previously pressed button B2 is the target of the return notification. When the check box CB1 is checked, the input value in the area A1 is notified to the return notification setting unit 313 as a time limit condition. When the check box CB2 is checked, the input value in the area A2 is notified to the return notification setting unit 313 as a standby time condition.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the return notification setting unit 313 includes information specifying the work schedule when the work schedule to be returned is selected from any of the work schedules displayed on the display unit 35.

When each patient carries an RFID tag storing his / her own patient identifier, the RFID reader that reads out the RFID tag may be used as the sensor device 40.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the nursing service system 1 configured as described above will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 13, processing related to the exchange of work schedules performed between the work support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30 will be described.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of processing related to the exchange of work schedules performed by the business support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30. First, when the nurse terminal 30 establishes communication with the access point 20 arranged around the own device, the nurse terminal 30 accesses the business support server 10 through the access point 20 (step S11). At this time, the nurse identifier and the terminal identifier are transmitted from the nurse terminal 30 to the business support server 10.

  When the business support server 10 accepts access from the nurse terminal 30 (step S21), the work schedule providing unit 111 is associated with the nurse identifier based on the nurse identifier input from the nurse terminal 30. The obtained work schedule is extracted from the work schedule management file 164 (step S22). Next, the work schedule providing unit 111 provides the work schedule extracted in step S22 to the nurse terminal 30 that is the access source (step S23).

  In the nurse terminal 30, the work schedule acquisition unit 311 acquires the execution target candidate provided from the nurse terminal 30 (step S12). Subsequently, the work schedule display unit 312 displays the work schedule acquired in step S12 on the display unit 35 (step S13), and ends the process. As a result, a work schedule list screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 35.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, processing related to the setting of return notification performed between the work support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30 will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of processing related to the setting of return notification, which is performed in the business support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30. As a premise of this processing, it is assumed that the work schedule acquired in step S12 is displayed on the display unit 35 of the nurse terminal 30.

  First, the return notification setting unit 313 of the nurse terminal 30 waits until a work schedule to be a return notification is selected from any of the work schedules displayed on the display unit 35 (Step S31; No).

  At this time, the nurse carrying the nurse terminal 30 headed to a predetermined work position (bed) to execute any of the work schedules displayed on the display unit 35, but there is no patient on the bed. Suppose there was. In such a case, the nurse selects a work schedule to be a return notification target by operating the button B2 in FIG. 8 described above.

  When the return notification setting unit 313 receives selection of a work schedule to be a return notification (step S31; Yes), additional conditions such as a time limit condition and a standby time condition are set based on the setting screen shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not an input has been made (step S32).

  If it is determined in step S32 that no additional condition has been input (step S32; No), the return notification setting unit 313 performs a return notification setting including information specifying the work schedule selected in step S32. It transmits to the support server 10 (step S33). If it is determined that an additional condition has been input (step S32; Yes), the return notification setting unit 313 performs a return notification setting including information specifying the work schedule selected in step S32 and the additional condition. It transmits to the support server 10 (step S34).

  On the other hand, in the work support server 10, when the return notification setting unit 112 receives the return notification setting from the nurse terminal 30 (step S41), the return notification flag of the work schedule specified in the return notification setting is validated (step S41). S42). Further, the return notification setting unit 112 determines whether or not an additional condition is included in the return notification setting (step S43).

  In step S43, when it is determined that the additional condition is not included in the return notification setting (step S43; No), the process ends. If it is determined that additional conditions are included in the return notification setting (step S43; Yes), the return notification setting unit 112 displays the additional conditions in the additional condition column of the work schedule specified in the return notification setting. Set (store) (step S44) and end the process. Thereby, the setting of the return notification is completed for the specific work schedule. For work schedules for which a time limit condition is set in the additional condition column, the elapsed time since the return notification is set is counted.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, processing related to exchange of return notifications performed between the business support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30 will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of processing related to the exchange of return notifications performed by the business support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30. As a premise of this process, it is assumed that the process described with reference to FIG. 14 has already been performed.

  First, the return monitoring unit 113 of the business support server 10 uses, for each work schedule for which the return notification flag is valid, a sensor identifier corresponding to the patient identifier (or work position) included in the work schedule. It specifies from the file 161 and the patient management file 162 (step S51). Next, the return monitoring unit 113 starts monitoring the sensing result input from the sensor device 40 corresponding to the specified sensor identifier (step S52).

  Subsequently, the return monitoring unit 113 detects whether or not a return from the absence of the patient to the hospitalization position is detected at the installation position (hospital position) of the sensor device 40 based on the sensing result of the sensor device 40 as the monitoring target. Is determined (step S53). Here, when it determines with not detecting (step S53; No), the return monitoring part 113 determines whether the time limit condition is set to the additional condition column (step S54). When the time limit condition is not set in the additional condition column (step S54; No), the process returns to step S53 again.

  If it is determined that the time limit condition is set in the additional condition field (step S54; Yes), the return monitoring unit 113 determines whether the elapsed time counter value has reached the time limit set as the time limit condition. It is determined whether or not (step S55). If the time limit has not been reached (step S55; No), the process returns to step S53 again. If it is determined that the elapsed time counter value has reached the time limit (step S55; Yes), the process ends.

  If it is determined in step S53 that a patient return has been detected (step S53; Yes), the return monitoring unit 113 determines whether a standby time condition is set in the additional condition column (step S56). When the standby time condition is not set in the additional condition column (step S56; No), the process immediately proceeds to step S58.

  If it is determined that the standby time condition is set in the additional condition column (step S56; Yes), the return monitoring unit 113 starts counting the elapsed time, and the counter value is set as the standby time condition. Wait until the standby time is reached (step S57). When the counter value reaches the standby time, the process proceeds to step S58.

  In step S58, the return monitoring unit 113 uses the notification information for notifying the return of the patient and the work schedule including the hospitalization position of the patient as a return notification to the nurse terminal 30 corresponding to the nurse identifier of the work schedule. Transmit (step S58).

  On the other hand, when the return notification display unit 314 of the nurse terminal 30 receives the return notification from the work support server 10 (step S61), the notification information and the work schedule included in the return notification are displayed on the display unit 35 ( Step S62) and the process is terminated.

  Accordingly, the nurse of the nurse terminal 30 that has received the return notification confirms that the patient has returned to the hospitalization position by checking the return notification screen (see FIGS. 10 to 12) displayed on the display unit 35. I can grasp it. In addition, since the work schedule at the hospitalization position is displayed together, the work content at the hospitalization position (work position) can be easily grasped.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, processing related to the update of the work state performed between the work support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30 will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of processing related to the update of the work state performed by the business support server 10 and the nurse terminal 30. As a premise of this process, it is assumed that the work schedule is displayed on the display unit 35 of the nurse terminal 30.

  First, the work state notifying unit 315 of the nurse terminal 30 waits until a work schedule to be executed is selected from any of the work schedules displayed on the display unit 35 (Step S71; No). Here, when a work schedule to be executed is selected (step S71; Yes), the work state notification unit 315 sends an execution notice including information specifying the selected work schedule to the work support server 10. Transmit (step S72).

  Subsequently, the work state notifying unit 315 of the nurse terminal 30 waits until completion of work is instructed via the input unit 34 for the work schedule to be executed (step S73; No). When the completion of the work is instructed (step S73; Yes), the work state notification unit 315 transmits a completion notice including information specifying the work schedule for which the work has been completed to the business support server 10 (step S74). .

  On the other hand, when receiving the execution notification from the nurse terminal 30 (step S81), the work state management unit 114 of the business support server 10 changes the state flag of the work schedule designated by this execution notification to “working” ( Step S82). In addition, when the work state management unit 114 receives a completion notification from the nurse terminal 30 (step S83), the work state management unit 114 changes the state flag of the work schedule specified in the completion notification to “work complete” (step S84). Exit. Thereby, the work status of the work schedule is reflected in the status flag.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a patient who is a work subject is not at the hospitalization position, the nurse performs a return notification of the patient (or hospitalization position) via the nurse terminal 30. By requesting (setting) the support server 10, when this patient returns to the hospitalization position, a notification of the return can be received. This eliminates the need for the nurse to wait until the patient returns or to leave a message memo, etc., thus improving the convenience of the nurse and facilitating the work. it can.
