In particular, in the display control of the patient information, the master CPU 38 performs control for highlighting the patient information of a newly hospitalized patient or a patient who is about to be discharged, or performing highlighting when there is a patient with the same surname or the same name.

  FIG. 3 shows a circuit block diagram of the main part of the controller 4. As shown in FIG. 3, a patient bed storage unit 41 that stores the relationship between the patient and the child device 1, and a patient information storage unit 42 that stores various patient related information of each patient including the name and date of hospitalization of the inpatient and nursing information. A controller CPU 44 that controls the controller 4, a first communication IF 45 that communicates with the corridor lamp 2, a second communication IF 46 that communicates with the master unit 3, and the like.

The operation of the nurse call system configured as described above is as follows. However, since the operation of performing a nurse call by the slave unit 1 and responding by the master unit 3 is the same as the conventional one, the description is omitted, and here, the display of patient information on the large display 32 of the master unit 3 will be described. .
FIG. 4 is a display explanatory diagram of the large display 32, and includes a main display area 32a for displaying a list of patient information and a ward layout, and a message display area 32b for displaying various information. FIG. 4 shows a state in which a list of patient information is displayed in the main display area 32a. In FIG. 4, P1 is a hospital room area, P2 is an individual patient information display area, a hospital room number display section D1 is provided above the hospital room area P1, and a patient name display section D2 and a bed in the patient information display area P2. A number display unit D3, a nursing information display unit D4, a message display unit D5, and the like are provided.

At the time of standby, a list of patient information display areas P2 is displayed on the large display 32 as shown in FIG. 4. When a nurse call is called, the entire caller's patient information display area P2 is flashed, etc. Is displayed (not detailed).
The displayed patient information is transmitted to the controller 4 from an ordering system (not shown), and when the controller 4 receives new inpatient information, it is stored in the patient information storage unit 42 together with the hospitalization date information under the control of the controller CPU 44. Is done. If a bed number is given to the patient information, the bed number is stored in the patient bed storage unit 41.

  Information stored in the patient bed storage unit 41 and the patient information storage unit 42 is periodically read by the main unit CPU 38 or transmitted from the control unit 4 to the main unit CPU 38 every time the information is changed. Is stored in a storage unit (not shown). At the same time, it is displayed as new patient information in the patient information display area P2 corresponding to the bed number of the inpatient on the display of the large display 32, and the message display section D5 is displayed in the form of “XX day hospitalization”, for example. Is displayed.

  At this time, the display in the patient information display area P2 is normally displayed in white as a whole, and new inpatients are displayed in blue in color as a whole. By displaying in a color different from that of the surrounding patient information display area P2, the fact that the patient has been newly admitted is highlighted (first highlight), and is easily recognized visually. A hatched G1 shown in FIG. 4 indicates the highlighted state.

  It is not necessary to change the color of the entire area. For example, if the patient name is normally displayed in black, it may be changed to blue. Further, the normal bed number is input at the time of patient hospitalization registration in the master unit 3.

  The master CPU 38 counts the number of days elapsed from the hospitalization date and manages the display form of the patient information, and continues the above highlighting within 3 days from the hospitalization date, but ends the highlighting after the 4th day. Switch to the normal display like other patients.

  Thus, since the display of the patient information of the newly admitted patient is highlighted for a certain period of time, it is easy to grasp the newly admitted patient, which is useful for the smooth execution of nursing work.

Next, a display when the new inpatient has the same surname or the same name as the hospitalized patient (including the same surname and the same name) will be described. When the new inpatient has the same surname or the same name as the hospitalized patient, the master CPU 38 recognizes this and gives an underline to the name of the patient information displayed on the large display 32.
Specifically, when the parent CPU 38 reads the information of a new inpatient from the patient bed storage unit 41, the parent unit CPU 38 searches for a hospitalized patient having the same surname or the same name (including the same surname and the same name). If found, a blue underline (second highlight) is added to both patient names.
For example, if the same surname is given, only the surname is given, if the same name is given, and if the same name is given, a blue underline is added to the entire name so that it is easy to visually recognize that a new hospitalized patient with the same surname or given name has occurred. .

  The base unit CPU 38 manages the number of days that have elapsed, the second highlighting is finished in accordance with the end of the first highlighting, and the underline color is black (third highlighting) in the fourth day transition. Change and continue emphasis. G2 shown in FIG. 4 indicates an underline in which this third highlighting is performed, and indicates the presence of a patient with the same surname and the same name. This third highlighting is carried out until one patient is discharged.

Thus, when a patient with a name similar to or the same name as a hospitalized patient is newly admitted, the same part of both names will be underlined and highlighted, so that the name will be It is effective in preventing mistakes caused by similar or identical items.
In addition, when the highlighting due to new hospitalization ends, the underline color is changed to make the degree of emphasis relatively weak. It can be distinguished and effective in preventing the occurrence of mistakes.
Furthermore, since the form of highlighting of new hospitalization and the presence / absence of patients of the same gender / same name is different, it is quickly determined visually whether it is a new hospitalized patient, the name is near, or the patient with the same name depending on the form of emphasis This can prevent misunderstandings.

The patient who is hospitalized in this way, when the scheduled discharge date is finally determined, information on the scheduled discharge date is transmitted to the controller 4 from an ordering system (not shown). The controller 4 that has received the scheduled discharge date information registers the scheduled discharge date of the patient in the patient bed storage unit 41 by the controller CPU 44.
This information is read by the base unit CPU 38 or transmitted from the control unit 4 to the base unit CPU 38, and “XX days discharged” is displayed on the message display unit D5. And it memorize | stores in own memory | storage part, the number of days until a discharge date is counted, and if it is less than three days until a discharge date, a highlight (4th highlight) will be implemented. Specifically, the patient's name is changed from black to blue, for example, so that it can be easily recognized visually.
If a discharge date is input at the time of hospitalization, the number of days is managed by receiving this information, but display control is performed with priority given to highlighting of new hospitalization.

  In this way, the patient information of the patient whose discharge date is approaching is highlighted differently from the case of new hospitalization or the same family name / same name, so it is easy to recognize the patient who has been discharged and smooth nursing work Help with execution. Moreover, since the highlighting of the patient who is approaching discharge is different from the new hospitalization and the same-type / same-named patient highlighting, it is possible to prevent mistakes.

In the above embodiment, the number of days that have elapsed since the main CPU 38 was hospitalized, the search for patients with the same name, and the remaining days until the discharge date were counted to control the display form of individual patient information. However, the controller CPU 44 may perform these controls.
In addition, patients with the same surname or the same name are underlined, and the degree of emphasis is changed by changing the color after a predetermined number of days (3 days), but the degree of emphasis is changed by the thickness of the underline. You may do it.
