  Embodiments of a medical appointment reservation system according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a medical appointment reservation system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a medical appointment reservation system 1 includes a medical device management server 51 that is a medical device management unit, a reservation management unit 13, an information determination unit 11, a patient terminal 50 that is a remote terminal, an in-hospital server 30 that is a schedule management unit, Each server 40 is connected via a network 60. Here, a description will be given assuming a communication network in which the communication protocol of the network 60 is TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol), but another communication protocol capable of exchanging electronic data with each other may be used. .

  First, in FIG. 1, the medical device management server 51 includes a delivery information storage unit 20 a for the medical device A, a delivery information storage unit 20 b for the medical device B, and a data search unit 12. Here, the delivery information storage unit 20a and the delivery information storage unit 20b may be assumed to be a database stored in a storage device connected to the data search unit 12, for example.

  The delivery information storage unit 20a is a database including the location information of the medical device A, and is stored as data in which the model information of the medical device A and the location information of the medical institution that delivered the medical device A are linked. . Thus, it is possible to search in which medical institution a medical device that can receive a specific medical treatment or examination desired by a patient is located from the location information of the medical device.

  Similarly, the delivery information storage unit 20b stores the model information of the medical device B, the location information of the delivery destination hospital, and the like as a database. Here, although two types of medical devices corresponding to the delivery information storage unit 20a and the delivery information storage unit 20b are used, one model or three or more models can be considered similarly.

  In addition, the medical device management server 51 is connected via the network 60, and the data search unit 12 described later updates data stored in the delivery information storage unit 20a or the delivery information storage unit 20b according to the communication protocol. Data extraction etc. can be performed.

  The data search unit 12 searches and manages location information of a specific medical device stored in the delivery information storage unit 20a and the delivery information storage unit 20b. The data search unit 12 accesses the data stored in the delivery information storage unit 20 a and the delivery information storage unit 20 b connected to the data search unit 12. As described above, this data is associated with the model information of the medical device and the location information of the hospital to which the medical device has been delivered, and the medical device A is delivered by searching for a specific medical device, for example, the medical device A. It is possible to know the location information of the hospital (medical institution).

  The appointment management unit 13 stores information on medical appointments (date and time) input at the patient information management terminal in the hospital server via the network 60 in the medical institution corresponding to the specific medical equipment A and the location information of the medical equipment A. Receive through. The appointment management unit 13 manages information (date and time) of medical appointments received from a plurality of medical institutions, and updates the information of medical appointments every time it is sent from each medical institution.

  Next, the information determination unit 11 is connected to the data search unit 12 via the network 60, and the specific medical device A searched by the data search unit 12 from the linked data stored in the medical device management server 51. This is to extract the location information of the medical institutions that you own. In addition, the information determination unit 11 acquires the scheduled use status of the medical device A through the in-hospital server of the medical institution (hospital) that owns the specific medical device A from the data search unit 12, and receives a medical reservation from the reservation management unit 13. Get information about. Further, the medical institution capable of making a medical appointment with a specific medical device A and the date and time are extracted from the scheduled use situation of the medical device A and information on the medical appointment. At this time, the extracted data is a medical institution and date / time that can be reserved for medical treatment, but may be information necessary for reservations at other medical institutions. Furthermore, the information determination unit 11 can create data to be displayed on the display screen of the patient terminal 50 and transmit / receive data including information for displaying the display screen on the patient terminal 50 via the network 60. .

  The in-hospital server 30 or the in-hospital server 40 is capable of managing reservation information (scheduled use status) of medical devices owned by the hospital A and the hospital B and transmitting them to the information determination unit 11 via the network 60.

  The in-hospital server 30 and the in-hospital server 40 can transmit the information on the medical appointment input by the terminal user to the patient information management terminal 32 and the patient information management terminal 42, respectively, to the information determination unit 11. The in-hospital server 30 and the in-hospital server 40 can transmit such information in addition to the information determining unit 11 connected to the network 60.

  Next, the in-hospital server 30 is connected to a medical device A 31a, a medical device B 31b, and the like via an unshown in-hospital LAN (Local Area Network). Thereby, the in-hospital server 30 can confirm the current scheduled use status of the medical device A31a and the medical device B31b. Further, from the patient information management terminal 32 that can be connected to the in-hospital server 30 via the above-mentioned in-hospital LAN (not shown), the terminal user can use the medical device reservation such as the medical device A31a and the medical device B31b. You can enter a reservation.

  In the in-hospital server 40, as in the in-hospital server 30, the terminal user inputs from the patient information management terminal 42 a patient medical reservation and a reservation for use of a medical device such as the medical device A 41 a, medical device B 41 b, and medical device C 41 c.

  Thus, the in-hospital server 30 and the in-hospital server 40 can collect information related to patient medical treatment reservations and medical device use reservations. Here, the reason why the hospital server 30 and the hospital server 40 are described separately is that a plurality of medical institutions are assumed.

  The patient terminal 50 is a terminal device such as a personal computer operated by the patient, and has a function of displaying a medical appointment screen based on data for a display screen transmitted from the information determination unit 11 and specific medical device information, It searches for medical institutions that wish to receive medical care and makes medical appointments. Further, the patient terminal 50 can connect to the network 60 from a remote place away from the medical institution and use the medical appointment system 1. Although the patient terminal 50 is a personal computer here, it may be a portable tablet terminal or a portable terminal that can be wirelessly connected to an access point (not shown) of the network 60. Thus, the patient can use the medical appointment reservation system 1 from any place where the portable terminal can be connected to the access point of the network 60.

  Note that the medical appointment reservation system 1 prevents the leakage of data from the network 60 to the outside and the like, so that the connection with the patient terminal 50 is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) using an encryption technique such as IPsec (Internet Protocol Security). May be used. In addition, the medical device management server 51, the information determination unit 11, and the reservation management unit 13 are separated from each other, but the same server may be used. Furthermore, although the hospital server has two systems here, it is not limited to two systems.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a series of operations from the start of use of the medical appointment system 1 to the end thereof. Based on FIG. 2, the operation of the medical appointment reservation system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 10.

  In FIG. 2, S101 is the start of use of the medical appointment system 1, and the patient starts the patient terminal 50 and displays an initial screen for connecting to the medical appointment system 1 as shown in FIG. 3 on the display screen of the patient terminal 50. It is. Further, when this initial screen is displayed, the patient inputs a patient ID and a password for identifying the individual patient in order to connect to the medical appointment system 1. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the display screen of the patient terminal 50 is a touch panel system, and that the patient recognizes an input from the patient by touching the touch panel. Moreover, you may make it the structure which performs the input from a patient with the input button and touch sensor of the patient terminal 50 corresponding to a patient's input value.

  This is a step of selecting a medical appointment by contacting a medical appointment area (examination appointment) on the appointment screen shown in FIG. 4 displayed on the display screen of the patient terminal 50 after S101 (S102). Then, the display screen of the patient terminal 50 transitions to a selection screen for examination items (medical items) and examination devices (medical devices) as shown in FIG. 5 displayed in the next step S103.

  In S103, the selection screen of the inspection item (medical item) and the inspection apparatus (medical device) as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the patient terminal 50, and the patient selects the desired medical treatment and the inspection item (medical device) and selects the patient. The screen of the terminal 50 is changed, and the process proceeds to the next step S104. At this time, the information determination unit 11 receives information on a desired medical item or medical device input or selected from the patient terminal 50 via the network 60 and transmits information on the medical device to the data search unit 12. The data search unit 12 extracts data in which the medical device is associated with the location information of the medical device from the delivery information storage unit 20a or the delivery information storage unit 20b of the medical device management server 51.

  In S104, the display screen of the patient terminal 50 can select the date of the medical appointment as shown in FIG. 6 or the medical institution (hospital). This S104 is a step of selecting either the medical appointment date or the hospital to be preferentially selected because the medical item and the medical institution are selected in S103. The information determination unit 11 can select a hospital having a medical device desired by the patient from the data in which the medical device extracted in S103 is associated with the location information. Here, the medical device desired by the patient is medical device A. In S104, if the date of medical appointment is selected, the process proceeds to S105. Further, if a medical institution (hospital) is selected in S104, the process proceeds to S109. The date of medical appointment on the display screen of the patient terminal 50 or the selected part of the medical device may be a pull-down menu, for example.

  In S105, since it was selected to select from the dates of medical appointments in S104, a date selection screen listing the schedules as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. In this date selection screen, medical items and medical devices are free. The current date and time zone are displayed. In addition, in the date selection screen, for example, graying out may be performed so that the patient cannot select a date and a time zone so that a medical item and a date when the medical device is not conspicuous. Here, the information determination unit 11 is a patient who is input from the patient information management terminal 32 of the hospital A and the patient information management terminal 42 of the hospital B from the location information of the medical device A selected by the reservation management unit 13 in step S103. The hospital (medical institution) that can make a medical appointment and the appointment time are extracted on the basis of the schedule of medical appointments and the scheduled use of the medical devices A of the hospital A and the hospital B managed by the hospital server 30 and the hospital server 40. In addition, the information determination unit 11 transmits data to be displayed on the display screen of the patient terminal 50 to the patient terminal 50 via the network 60.

  In the next step of S105, after selecting the examination date and time zone desired by the patient, the display screen of the patient terminal 50 is changed to FIG. 8 by the information determination unit 11 (S106).

  In S107, the display screen of the patient terminal 50 is the hospital selection screen of FIG. 8, and a list of hospitals that can be reserved for the date and time zone selected in S106 is displayed. This is because the information judging unit 11 extracts the medical institution from the date and time when both the medical appointment and the medical device A are available from the date and time selected in S106, and displays them on the patient terminal 50 via the network 60. This is because the data has been transmitted.

  Next, in S108, it is a step which progresses to S113, when a patient selects the desired hospital from the hospital list displayed in FIG. It should be noted that the hospital list may be registered in the order of the distance from the home, the display in the order of popularity, or the hospital name in the order of the Japanese syllabary by registering the home address in the patient terminal 50. Further, here, an example is shown in which the date of medical appointment and the selection of the hospital are selected on different screens, but the configuration may be such that the selection can be made on the same screen.

  In S113, since the date and time zone when the medical care and medical institution are available are selected in the step of S108, the display screen of the patient terminal 50 is displayed as shown in FIG. 9, and the patient confirms the contents reserved by himself / herself. be able to. The display screen of the patient terminal 50 in FIG. 9 displays the date and time reserved by the patient, examination items (medical items), hospital names (medical institution names), and the like. In addition, the patient can touch the button area to return to the previous step that can return to the previous step if the reservation details need to be corrected by confirming this content, and return to the step that requires correction and make corrections. it can. If there is no correction in the reservation contents, the patient touches the button area indicating that the process proceeds to the next in FIG. 9 and proceeds to the next step. The button for returning to the previous step and the button for proceeding to the next step may be assigned to the input key of the patient terminal 50, either on the display screen of the patient terminal 50.

  Next, in S114, after the patient inputs the patient information on the patient information input screen as shown in FIG. 10 displayed on the patient terminal 50, the patient information is registered and the process proceeds to S115 as the final step. Patient information includes patient number, insurer number, name, sex, date of birth, address, and the like. In S115, the post-confirmation processing flow ends when the content of the patient information input in S114 is correct. Note that the patient number of the patient information may be registered even if it is not entered if it is not given at the first visit of each hospital.

  On the other hand, if the medical institution (hospital) is selected instead of the date of the medical appointment in FIG. 6 in S104 described above, the process proceeds to S109. In S109, a list of medical institutions that own the medical devices that the patient wants to receive examinations and desires in S103 is displayed. The configuration of the display screen of the patient terminal 50 is the same as that in FIG.

  In S110, when a desired medical institution is designated from the list of medical institutions (hospitals) in FIG. 8 on the display screen of the patient terminal 50 in S109, the process proceeds to S111 in the next step, and the display screen of the patient terminal 50 transitions to FIG. To do. In S111, the medical device owned by the medical institution selected by the patient in S109 and the date and time zone in which the medical institution has a medical appointment are displayed as a schedule screen that can be reserved as shown in FIG.

  In S112, the date and time zone are designated from the screen of the schedule that can be reserved displayed on the patient terminal 50 in S111. By this step, medical treatment can be reserved with the medical institution desired by the patient, and the process proceeds to the next step S113. After S113, the flow is the same as that after S113 when the date of medical appointment is selected in S104.

  Note that the medical appointment reservation system 1 of the present invention may be linked to an e-mail or the like guided to the patient terminal 50 or the like by re-examination or special examination at a certain age.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to search for a hospital equipped with a specific medical device desired and the medical appointment of the desired hospital at once, which cannot be performed by the conventional method. The convenience of reservation can be improved.

  In addition, since the medical appointment system has a function of sending a screening recommendation guidance email according to re-examination and age, and the patient terminal 50 has a function of receiving the guidance email, it is possible to prevent a delay in finding the disease.

  The medical appointment reservation system according to the present invention makes it possible to select a hospital equipped with medical equipment necessary for receiving a desired medical examination, time selection, and medical appointment at a time, thereby improving the convenience of the medical appointment. Therefore, it is particularly useful in a medical examination in which not only the selection of a doctor but also the selection of a medical device is important.
