  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an endoscopic examination work support system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The endoscopic examination work support system 1 is a system for supporting an endoscopic examination work, and appropriately schedules a use schedule and a washing schedule of an individual of an endoscope (hereinafter also simply referred to as a “scope”) 30. In addition, a function for appropriately rescheduling the scheduled schedule is realized. The endoscope inspection work support system 1 includes an information management device 10, a terminal device 12, a storage 14, an endoscope observation device 22a to 22d, and a first cleaning device 50a to a fourth cleaning device 50d, which are LAN ( Interconnected by a network 2 such as a local area network.

  An endoscope observation apparatus is installed in each of the plurality of examination rooms. In this example, the first examination room 20a is the endoscope observation apparatus 22a, the second examination room 20b is the endoscope observation apparatus 22b, the third examination room 20c is the endoscope observation apparatus 22c, and the fourth examination room. 20d includes an endoscope observation device 22d. In medical facilities, laboratories are often used separately for upper examinations and lower examinations. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first examination room 20a, the second examination room 20b, and the third examination room 20c are used for the upper examination, and the fourth examination room 20d is used for the lower examination. Hereinafter, when the first examination room 20a to the fourth examination room 20d are not particularly distinguished, they may be referred to as “examination room 20”, and when the endoscope observation apparatuses 22a to 22d are not particularly distinguished, It may also be referred to as “endoscopic observation device 22”. A scope 30 is connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22, and an endoscopy is performed by a doctor.

  Medical facilities such as large hospitals and endoscope centers have a variety of endoscopes (scopes) to carry out many endoscopic examinations a day, and have multiple individuals for frequently used models. I own it. For example, scope models for upper examinations include upper routine machines used for routine examinations, upper high-resolution machines that can provide high-resolution images, upper nasal machines inserted from the nostrils, and fine blood vessels on the mucosal surface. There are an upper magnifier that can observe a running pattern, a structure pattern by a gland duct, and the like, an upper treatment machine that has a treatment function, and the like. In addition, the scope model for the lower examination includes a lower routine machine used for routine examination, a lower enlargement machine capable of observing a fine blood vessel running form on the mucosal surface, a structure pattern by a gland duct, etc., and a lower part having a treatment function. There are treatment machines. In medical facilities, owned scopes are registered and managed in a database.

  In the cleaning chamber 40, a plurality of cleaning machines are installed. In this example, a first cleaning machine 50a, a second cleaning machine 50b, a third cleaning machine 50c, and a fourth cleaning machine 50d are provided. Hereinafter, when the first cleaning machine 50a to the fourth cleaning machine 50d are not particularly distinguished, they may be referred to as “cleaning machines 50”. In this example, four cleaning machines 50 are installed in one cleaning chamber 40, but they may be distributed in a plurality of cleaning chambers.

  The cleaning machine 50 generally uses different chemical solutions for cleaning depending on the model. For example, typical chemicals used for cleaning are peracetic acid, phthalal, strongly acidic electrolyzed water, and the like, and the cleaning machine 50 is designed to use only a predetermined chemical solution. That is, the type of the cleaning machine 50 and the chemical solution to be used are associated one-to-one, and it is not recommended that the cleaning machine 50 use a chemical solution other than the predetermined chemical solution. In addition, the cleaning time may vary depending on the model of the cleaning machine 50, and thus the cleaning machine 50 has model-specific characteristics.

  The storage 14 stores the scope 30. Prior to the start of the day's endoscopic inspection work, all the scopes 30 are stored in the storage 14, and an inspection preparation person such as an engineer takes out the scope 30 from the storage 14 and carries it to the inspection room 20. , Connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22. When the examination by the doctor is completed, the examination preparation person carries the used scope 30 to the washing room 40, puts it in the washing tank of the washing machine 50, performs washing, and carries the washed scope 30 to the examination room again. The doctor reuses it for new tests.

  In a medical facility, an individual name for distinguishing from an individual is generally given to an individual of the scope 30. For example, since the same type of scope 30 has the same shape, an individual name is assigned and managed. A sticker or the like on which the individual name is printed is affixed to the scope 30 so that it can be distinguished by the individual name, so that the doctor and the examination preparation person can distinguish each individual. In recent years, an RFID tag or the like is built in the endoscope body, and each individual is electronically identified when the endoscope observation apparatus 22 is connected to the camera control unit (CCU) or by reading using a tag reading means. It can be done. For such a scope 30, the same distinction as when a seal is used is obtained by acquiring individual identification information in the RFID tag at the time of connection to the CCU or before or after the start of cleaning in the cleaning machine. It is possible to

  The endoscopic examination work support system 1 of the embodiment sets schedule information that determines which examination is used and which washing machine is used for each individual of the scope 30. Thereby, the inspection preparation person can know which inspection room 20 should be carried in and which cleaning machine 50 should be used for cleaning by looking at the schedule information. At that time, the examination preparation person can appropriately move and clean the scope 30 in accordance with the schedule information based on the individual name printed on the sticker attached to the scope 30.

  The schedule information of the scope 30 is generated by the information management apparatus 10. The generation timing of the schedule information is before the start of the daily endoscopic examination work, and the examination preparation person can determine the handling of the scope 30 by looking at the schedule information displayed on the screen of the terminal device 12. The terminal device 12 may be a stationary personal computer. The endoscopy work support system 1 may have a large display that anyone can see, and schedule information may be displayed on the large display.

  A medical worker such as a doctor or a test preparation person has the portable terminal 60 and can receive a necessary notification from the information management apparatus 10. The portable terminal 60 may be a portable terminal device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a tablet, and is connected to an access point (hereinafter also referred to as “AP”) 3 installed in a medical facility. A wireless LAN is constructed so that data can be transmitted to and received from the information management apparatus 10. A mobile terminal 60 is lent to each medical worker in the facility, and the mobile terminal 60 and the medical worker are managed in association with each other. Therefore, when transmitting information to a specific medical worker, the information management apparatus 10 can specify the mobile terminal 60 associated with the medical worker and transmit necessary information to the mobile terminal 60.

  When the information management apparatus 10 generates schedule information, the information management apparatus 10 determines which scope 30 is assigned to an examination that is scheduled to start at a certain timing. Naturally, the scope 30 cannot be assigned to the examination. Therefore, the information management apparatus 10 sets a virtual status for each scope 30 during the scheduling process so that the status of each scope 30 can be confirmed at an arbitrary timing.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a virtual status of the scope 30 set during creation of schedule information. The scope 30 takes one of the statuses of “in use” (ST1), “used” (ST2), “cleaning” (ST3), and “waiting” (ST4). The arrows shown in FIG. 2 indicate the status transition direction. The information management apparatus 10 grasps the statuses of all the scopes 30 at an arbitrary timing, and assigns an appropriate scope 30 to the examination at the timing.

  In the four statuses shown in FIG. 2, the scope 30 that can be assigned to the examination is a scope whose status is “waiting”, and a scope 30 in another status cannot be assigned to the examination. Note that the status of the scopes 30 stored in the storage 14 is “standby”. Therefore, it is assumed that the statuses of all the scopes 30 are “standby” when the schedule information generation process is started. And

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration of the information management apparatus 10 that generates schedule information of the scope 30. The information management apparatus 10 includes a processing unit 100 and a storage unit 200. The processing unit 100 includes an inspection schedule management unit 110, a first allocation processing unit 120, a cleaning schedule management unit 130, a second allocation processing unit 140, and a display processing unit. 150, a display content deriving unit 152, a period specifying unit 154, and a usage status monitoring unit 160.

  Each configuration of the information management apparatus 10 can be realized in hardware by a CPU, memory, or other LSI of an arbitrary computer, and is realized in software by a program loaded in the memory. Describes functional blocks realized by collaboration. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The examination order is generated in an in-hospital information system such as an ordering system and issued to the endoscope department system. The information management device 10 obtains a one-day examination order generated in the in-hospital information system before the start of the daily endoscopic examination work, and uses each individual of the scope 30 owned in the medical facility. Schedule appointments and cleaning schedules. The acquired inspection order for one day is stored in the order information storage unit 202. For example, the scheduling timing may be before the first inspection on the inspection day or after the inspection work on the previous day, and in any case, the timing when the inspection order for one day is confirmed. If it is.

  The examination order includes the inspection identification information (examination ID), the examination start scheduled time information, the examination completion scheduled time information, the patient identification information (patient ID), the examination type information, the doctor in charge of the examination, the examination room, etc. Contains order information about the speculum. In the endoscopic examination work support system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the first examination room 20a, the second examination room 20b, and the third examination room 20c are used for the upper examination, and the fourth examination room 20d is used for the lower examination. Therefore, any one of the first examination room 20a, the second examination room 20b, and the third examination room 20c is assigned as the examination room to the upper examination order. The fourth inspection room 20d is assigned to the lower inspection order.

  At the start of the scheduling process, the inspection schedule management unit 110 first acquires a plurality of pieces of order information for one day from the order information storage unit 202, and generates an inspection schedule. Specifically, the examination schedule management unit 110 includes an examination room that performs an endoscopic examination specified by an examination ID, examination start scheduled time information and examination end scheduled time information, and examination types relating to examination contents of the endoscopic examination. Generate and manage information and schedules for multiple endoscopy including physicians in charge. The inspection schedule management unit 110 stores the generated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206. Thereafter, as will be described below, the inspection schedule management unit 110 registers the information of the scope 30 assigned by the first assignment processing unit 120 for each inspection in the inspection schedule, and updates the inspection schedule.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the generated inspection schedule. When the order information is acquired from the order information storage unit 202, the inspection schedule management unit 110 sets inspection numbers in order from the earliest inspection start time. In FIG. 4, the number of examinations for one day is 41, and examination numbers are set as E1 to E41 for each examination. Here, the examination schedule of examination number E1 is that the examination room is the first examination room 20a, the scheduled examination start time is 9:00, the scheduled examination end time is 9:10, the examination type is “upper routine examination”, and the doctor in charge “ “Doctor B” is shown. Note that an inspection ID is assigned to the inspection, and this inspection ID is different from the inspection number, but since the inspection number also uniquely identifies the inspection in the inspection schedule, in the following description, The examination number may be used as information for specifying the examination.

  In the present embodiment, the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4 is automatically derived from a plurality of inspection orders for one day, but the order information includes scheduled inspection start time information, scheduled inspection end time information, When information on the doctor in charge and the examination room is not included, the examination schedule management unit 110 may generate an examination schedule. The inspection schedule management unit 110 also has a function of reconfiguring the generated inspection schedule and performing rescheduling processing according to the state of inspection.

  For example, the storage unit 200 includes an examination type master table that stores the scheduled examination time for each examination type, a doctor in charge master table that stores the doctor in charge, and examination conditions that are performed in the examination room (that is, an upper examination or a lower examination). Information specifying whether or not). The examination order includes patient identification information (patient ID) and examination type information. When the examination schedule management unit 110 obtains the examination order for one day, the examination type master table, the responsible doctor master table, and An inspection schedule is generated with reference to the inspection conditions.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the examination type master table 210. The scheduled examination time is recorded in the examination type master table 210 for each examination type. When patient identification information (patient ID) and examination type information are included in the examination order, the examination schedule management unit 110 first refers to examination type information of each examination included in the examination order for each examination room. Assign one test. Here, referring to the examination conditions of the examination room, if the examination type information designates the upper examination, the examination is assigned to one of the first examination room 20a, the second examination room 20b, and the third examination room 20c. If the allocation and examination type information specifies the lower examination, the examination is assigned to the fourth examination room 20d. The inspection schedule management unit 110 sets a predetermined preparation time (for example, 5 minutes) as an interval between inspections.

  In the examination type master table 210, for example, the examination scheduled time of the “upper routine examination” of the examination type number 1 is 10 minutes, and the examination scheduled time of the “upper nasal examination” of the examination type number 2 is 15 minutes. Something is recorded. The scheduled inspection time of “lower routine inspection (3 years experience)” of inspection type number 16 is set to be 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time of “lower routine inspection” of inspection type number 9, When a doctor (young doctor) with less than 3 years of experience inspects, the fact that it takes about 5 minutes more than a doctor (experienced doctor) with more than 3 years of experience is incorporated as a scheduled time in advance. It may be set in the doctor-in-charge master table that the young doctor needs more time than the experienced doctor. The examination schedule management unit 110 assigns one examination to each examination room 20 according to the examination type master table 210, and sets the scheduled examination start time and scheduled examination end time.

  Next, the doctor assigning unit 129 in the first assignment processing unit 120 assigns a doctor to the examination in each examination room 20. At this time, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns the doctor in charge to the examination so that the same doctor in charge does not overlap in the same time zone. As described above, the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns one examination to each examination room 20, and the doctor assignment unit 129 assigns a doctor to the assigned examination, thereby generating an examination schedule. When the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to an examination, the examination schedule management unit 110 refers to examination type information of each examination included in an unprocessed examination order, and again assigns one examination for each examination room. The assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to the assigned examination. By repeating this, the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4 is generated.

  In the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scheduled inspection time for the lower routine inspection indicated by inspection number E12 is set to 20 minutes. This is because when the doctor E is assigned to the lower routine examination indicated by the examination number E12 by the doctor assigning unit 129, the doctor E is a young doctor with less than 3 years of experience, so the scheduled time of the examination indicated by the examination number E12 It is set 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time (15 minutes) of the normal lower routine inspection. When the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns the lower routine examination indicated by examination number E12 to the fourth examination room 20d, the doctor assignment unit 129 sets the examination scheduled time to 15 minutes as usual and the doctor assignment unit 129 performs the examination. On the other hand, when the doctor E is assigned, the examination schedule management unit 110 refers to the examination scheduled time of examination type number 16 shown in FIG. Set.

  As described above, when the order information does not include laboratory information, scheduled examination start time information, scheduled examination end time information, doctor information in charge, etc., the examination schedule management unit 110 assumes that the scope 30 is assigned to the examination. By referring to the examination type master table 210 and the like as described above, the examination room to perform the examination, the scheduled examination start time, and the scheduled examination end time are set, and the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns the doctor to the examination. The processing unit 100 may have a function of automatically generating an inspection schedule.

  The owned scope information storage unit 220 stores information and data related to the scope 30 owned by the medical facility, and includes an owned scope master table 222, a usage status storage unit 224, a washing machine rank holding unit 226, and an assigned scope information holding unit 228. An assignee information holding unit 230 and a history recording unit 232. The owned scope master table 222 is a database for managing the scope 30 owned by the medical facility, and information on all the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility is registered.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the owned scope master table 222. The owned scope master table 222 registers an endoscope number set in a medical facility, a model name, and an individual name in the medical facility in association with each other. Here, as the scope model for the upper examination, the upper routine machine used for routine examination, the upper high image quality machine that can provide high-resolution images, the upper nasal machine inserted from the nostril, and the movement of minute blood vessels on the mucosal surface An upper magnifying machine that can observe the form, a structure pattern by a gland duct, and the like, and an upper treatment machine that has a treatment function are registered.

  In the medical facility, six upper routine machines are owned, and each of them is G-R-1, G-R-2, G-R-3, G-R-4, G-R-5, G-R-6. The individual name is attached. In addition, there are three upper picture quality machines, each of which is named GH-1, GH-2, GH-3, and one upper nasal machine is owned by G -N-1 individual name is attached, two upper magnifiers are owned, GZ-1, GZ-2 individual names are attached, and two upper treatment machines are owned , The individual names of GT-1 and GT-2 are given respectively.

  In addition, the scope model for the lower examination includes a lower routine machine used for routine examination, a lower enlargement machine capable of observing a fine blood vessel running form on the mucosal surface, a structure pattern by a gland duct, etc., and a lower part having a treatment function. The treatment machine is registered. Three lower routine machines are owned, and individual names C-R-1, C-R-2, and C-R-3 are assigned to them respectively. One lower expansion machine is owned, and C-Z- 1 individual name is attached, one lower treatment machine is owned, and an individual name of CT-1 is attached.

  Each scope 30 is affixed with a tape or the like on which each individual name is printed, so that a doctor or a test preparation person can identify the individual visually. The means for identifying and displaying the individual is not limited to tape, but particularly when there are a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model, an allowance that allows the individual to be identified visually so that it can be distinguished within the same model. It is preferable that

  Hereinafter, the process which produces | generates the schedule information of the scope 30 is demonstrated. Note that generating the schedule information of the scope 30 means that the scope 30 is assigned to the inspection, and the scope 30 used for the inspection is assigned to the cleaning machine. As a result, the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule are generated. The schedule of the individual of the scope 30 is also generated.

  FIG. 7 shows a basic flowchart for generating schedule information of the scope 30. The examination schedule management unit 110 acquires a plurality of pieces of order information for one day from the order information storage unit 202 (S10). The inspection schedule management unit 110 refers to the inspection start scheduled times of the plurality of pieces of order information, sets inspection numbers in order from the earliest inspection start time (S12), and generates an inspection schedule (S14). For a plurality of inspections having the same inspection start scheduled time, inspection numbers may be set in order from the smallest inspection room number. The inspection room numbers are set to “1” for the first inspection room 20a, “2” for the second inspection room 20b, “3” for the third inspection room 20c, and “4” for the fourth inspection room 20d. . The examination schedule generated in S14 is as shown in FIG. 4, and the time axis is the vertical axis and the examination room is the horizontal axis, within the time frame specified by the scheduled examination start time information and scheduled examination end time information. Will be assigned an inspection order.

  Note that the scheduled examination start time information and the scheduled examination end time information may be information on the time itself indicating the hour or minute, but may also indicate a time zone in increments of five minutes. For example, in the endoscopy department, when scheduling is performed with 5 minutes as one unit, the examination start scheduled time information and the examination end scheduled time information are respectively scheduled to start the examination on the basis of a frame having 5 minutes as one unit. The time and the scheduled end time of the inspection may be specified.

  The schedule information of the scope 30 is generated by assigning the scope 30 to the examination in the examination schedule and assigning a washing machine that performs washing after the scheduled examination end time to the assigned scope 30. For this reason, first, a process for extracting an examination to which a scope 30 is assigned in each examination room is executed (S16). When examinations in each laboratory are extracted by the assignment target examination extraction process, a process for assigning the scope 30 is executed by the first assignment processing unit 120 for the extracted examinations (S18). When the scope 30 is assigned to the inspection by the scope assignment processing, the information of the assigned scope 30 is registered in the inspection schedule, and subsequently, the washing machine 50 for cleaning is assigned to the assigned scope 30. The process is executed by the second allocation processing unit 140 (S20). Information on the cleaning machine 50 assigned to the scope 30 is registered in the cleaning schedule. Steps S16 to S20 are repeated until all the examinations are completed (N in S22). When the allocation process is completed for all examinations (Y in S22), the scheduling process of the scope 30 is finished.

  When steps S <b> 16 to S <b> 20 are executed, the scope 30 is assigned to the examination in each examination room 20, and the cleaning machine 50 is assigned to the assigned scope 30. When the use schedule and the cleaning schedule of the scope 30 are determined in this way, the second assignment processing unit 140 to which the cleaning machine 50 is assigned has processed flags for the inspection number of the inspection to which the scope 30 is assigned. Set. The first assignment processing unit 120 that assigns the scope 30 to the inspection refers to the flags of the inspection numbers and executes the steps of S16 until all the inspection number flags have been processed (N in S22). If the inspection number flag is already processed (Y in S22), the scheduling process of the scope 30 is terminated without returning to the step of S16.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the first assignment processing unit 120 performs a process of assigning the scope 30 to the examination in the examination schedule. Specifically, the first assignment processing unit 120 has a function of executing steps S16 and S18 in the basic flowchart, and includes an examination extracting unit 122, a scope specifying unit 124, a scope assigning unit 126, a scope assignability checking unit 128, and a doctor. An allocation unit 129 is provided. As described above, the doctor assigning unit 129 is in charge of the process of assigning the doctor to the examination when the examination schedule is generated.

  FIG. 8 shows a detailed flowchart of the allocation target examination extraction process shown in S16 of the basic flowchart. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the examination extracting unit 122 extracts the examination that has not yet been assigned the scope 30 and has the earliest scheduled examination start time among the examinations of each examination room 20 in the examination schedule (S30). . In the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scope 30 is not yet assigned to any examination, and thus the examination extraction unit 122 extracts the examination with the earliest examination start time in each examination room 20. Here, the inspection number E1 from the first inspection room 20a, the inspection number E2 from the second inspection room 20b, the inspection number E3 from the third inspection room 20c, and the inspection number from the fourth inspection room 20d. Extract E4 exam. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the inspection with the inspection number E1 may be referred to as “inspection E1”, the inspection with the inspection number E2 may be referred to as “inspection E2”, and the like.

  Subsequently, the inspection extraction unit 122 sets “N = 1” (S32), and the inspection start scheduled time of the inspection next to the inspection extracted from the inspection room other than the Nth inspection room is extracted from the Nth inspection room. It is determined whether or not it is later than the scheduled inspection start time (S34). Here, the examination start scheduled time of the examination E1 extracted from the first examination room 20a and the examinations following the examinations E2, E3, E4 extracted from the second examination room 20b, the third examination room 20c, and the fourth examination room 20d. That is, by comparing the inspection start scheduled times of the inspections E6, E7, and E8, it is determined whether all the inspection start scheduled times of the inspections E6, E7, and E8 are later than the inspection start scheduled time of the inspection E1. The In the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4, since all the inspection start scheduled times of inspections E6, E7, and E8 are later than the inspection start scheduled time of inspection E1 (Y in S34), the inspection extracting unit 122 It is specified as an examination to be assigned the scope 30 (S36). If any one of the scheduled inspection start times of the examinations E6, E7, and E8 is earlier than the scheduled examination start time of the examination E1 (N in S34), the examination extracting unit 122 performs the examination E1 as follows. The scope 30 is excluded from the examination to be assigned (S38).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether N is the same as the total number of examination rooms (in this example, the total number of examination rooms = 4) (S40). If N has not reached the total number of examination rooms (N in S40), N is incremented by one. (S42), the process returns to S34.

  In S34, the examination start scheduled time of the examination E2 extracted from the second examination room 20b and the examinations E1, E3, and E4 extracted from the first examination room 20a, the third examination room 20c, and the fourth examination room 20d. The test, that is, the test start times of the tests E5, E7, and E8 are compared to determine whether all the test start times of the tests E5, E7, and E8 are later than the test start time of the test E1. Is done. In the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4, since all the inspection start scheduled times of inspections E5, E7, and E8 are later than the inspection start scheduled time of inspection E2 (Y in S34), the inspection extracting unit 122 It is specified as an examination to be assigned the scope 30 (S36).

  As described above, the determination process in S34 is executed for all examinations extracted from each examination room 20 in S30. Here, all examinations with examination numbers E1, E2, E3, and E4 extracted from each examination room 20 in S30 are identified as examinations to which the scope 30 is assigned (S36), and N is the total number of examination rooms at that time. (Y in S40), the allocation target examination extraction process ends. Referring to the basic flowchart shown in FIG. 7, when the extraction process of the allocation target examination in S16 is completed, the scope allocation process in S18 is started.

  FIG. 9 shows a detailed flowchart of the scope assignment process shown in S18 of the basic flowchart. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the scope assignment unit 126 assigns a scope to be used from among a plurality of owned scopes 30 to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Do.

  As a premise for performing this scope assignment processing, first, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the statuses of all the scopes 30 at the scheduled start time of the examination extracted as the scope assignment target (S50). As described with reference to FIG. 2, the status of the scope 30 is specified by any one of ST1 to ST4.

  FIG. 10 shows a detailed flowchart of the status specifying process in S50. First, the scope specifying unit 124 sets the scheduled test start time of the test to be assigned (S70). Since the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E1 to E4 are all 9:00, the time is set to 9:00 here. The scope specifying unit 124 specifies the status at the set time of all scopes of endoscope numbers 1 to 19 recorded in the owned scope master table 222.

  With reference to the schedule information of the scope 30, if the set time (9:00) is within the allocated examination time (Y in S72), the status of the scope 30 is identified as “in use”. (S74). If the set time is outside the inspection time (N in S72) and after the assigned inspection is completed and before the cleaning is started (Y in S76), the status of the scope 30 is identified as “used”. (S78). If the set time is not after the end of the inspection but before the start of cleaning (N in S76) and within the cleaning time (Y in S80), the status of the scope 30 is specified as “being cleaned” (S82). . If the set time is not within the cleaning time (N in S80), the status of the scope 30 is specified as “standby” (S84). As described above, the scope specifying unit 124 can identify which scope is “standby”, that is, an assignable scope, at the scheduled start time of the inspection by specifying the status at the set time for all the scopes.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the scope specifying unit 124 executes a search process of the owned scope and specifies the usable scope 30 (S <b> 52). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 executes the search process by focusing on the scope specified as “standby” in S50. Scopes 30 with statuses other than “waiting”, that is, “in use”, “used”, and “cleaning” status cannot be assigned to the inspection at that time. Increases efficiency.

  FIG. 11 shows a detailed flowchart of the scope search process in S52. The scope specifying unit 124 executes search processing for all the scopes 30 that have a status of “standby”. Here, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the examination type of the examination to be assigned. Here, the scheduled examination start times of all examinations E1 to E4 to be assigned are 9:00, and it is specified in S50 that the statuses of all scopes 30 are “standby” at 9:00. Yes. Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether or not the scope 30 having the “standby” status corresponds to the examination type for each of the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S90).

  In the embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. In the embodiment, the inspection type is distinguished depending on whether it is an upper inspection or a lower inspection. Therefore, in S90, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the upper inspection, it is determined that the upper inspection scope is compatible and the lower inspection scope is not compatible. Similarly, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates a lower inspection, it is determined that the lower inspection scope is compatible and the upper inspection scope is not compatible.

  Referring to the owned scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 and the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scope specifying unit 124 is an endoscope that is an upper examination scope for the upper examinations of examination numbers E1, E2, and E3. The scopes having the mirror numbers 1 to 14 are determined as candidate scopes (S92). On the other hand, the scopes having the endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which are lower inspection scopes, cannot be assigned to the examinations having the examination numbers E1, E2, and E3. Determine (S94). Further, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which are the lower inspection scopes, as candidate scopes for the lower inspection of the inspection number E4 (S92). A scope with a certain endoscope number 1 to 14 is determined to be unassignable to the examination with examination number E4 (S94). The scope specifying unit 124 notifies the scope assigning unit 126 of the correspondence between the specified candidate scope and the examination number.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns a scope 30 to be used to each examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110 based on the candidate scope identified by the scope identifying unit 124. Specifically, the scope assignment unit 126 assigns one of the candidate scopes specified by the scope specification unit 124 to the endoscopy. In the following example, among the plurality of candidate scopes, the endoscope scopes set in the possessing scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 are assigned to the examinations, but the order is limited to this order. Not intended.

  First, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E1 (Y in S54). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 is notified that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 14 can be assigned to the examinations E1, E2, and E3. The scope G-R-1 of endoscope number 1 is assigned (S56). Note that the scope assigning unit 126 sets the status of the scope GR-1 to “in use” so that the same scope GR-1 is not assigned to another examination (S58). When the status is set to “in use”, the scope G-R-1 is removed from the candidate scope at the time of assignment by the next scope assignment unit 126.

  Next, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E2 (Y in S54), and assigns the scope G-R-2 of the endoscope number 2 to the examination E2 ( In step S56, the status of the scope G-R-2 is set to “in use” (S58). Similarly, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope G-R-3 of the endoscope number 3 to the examination E3 (S56), and sets the status of the scope G-R-3 to “in use” (S58). ).

  Next, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E4 (Y in S54). Here, it is notified by the scope specifying unit 124 that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19 can be assigned to the examination E4. Accordingly, the scope assignment part 126 sends the endoscope number to the examination E4. 15 scopes CR-1 are assigned (S56), and the status of the scope CR-1 is set to "in use" (S58).

  In S54, when there is no scope that can be assigned to the examination (N in S54), the scope assigning unit 126 notifies the user that assignment is impossible (S60). Note that the timing of this notification may be after the scope 30 assignment processing is completed for all examinations. At least the user needs to recognize that there is an examination to which the scope 30 is not assigned before the start of the daily endoscopic examination work.

  The assignment process by the scope assigning unit 126 is repeated until assignment of the scope 30 is completed for all the extracted examinations to be assigned (N in S62), and the scope 30 assigns all examinations (here, E1 to E4). When this is done (Y in S62), this scope assignment process is terminated. The allocation result by the scope allocation unit 126 is notified to the examination schedule management unit 110.

  FIG. 12 shows the inspection schedule updated by the inspection schedule management unit 110. Upon receiving the assignment result from the scope assignment unit 126, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers the assigned scope 30 in the corresponding examination. Here, the scope GR-1 is used for the inspection E1, the scope GR-2 is used for the inspection E2, the scope GR-3 is used for the inspection E3, and the inspection E4 is used. It is registered that the scope C-R-1 is used. The inspection schedule management unit 110 records the updated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206. In this way, schedule information of the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, and CR-1 is generated.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the scope assignment process of S18 is completed, the washing machine assignment process of S20 is started.
In FIG. 3, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 manages the cleaning schedule of a plurality of scopes including the cleaning machine 50 and scheduled cleaning start time information and scheduled cleaning end time information. The second assignment processing unit 140 assigns a cleaning machine 50 for cleaning the scope 30 used in each endoscopy from among the plurality of cleaning machines 50. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 generates a cleaning schedule for the scope 30 based on the cleaning machine 50 allocated to the scope 30 by the second allocation processing unit 140 and records the cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  FIG. 13 shows a detailed flowchart of the washing machine assignment process shown in S20 of the basic flowchart. The second allocation processing unit 140 includes a cleaning machine specifying unit 142, a cleaning machine allocation unit 144, an end time determination unit 146, a cleaning machine allocation availability confirmation unit 148, and a person-in-charge allocation unit 149.

  The cleaning machine specifying unit 142 executes a search process for the cleaning machine 50 owned by each scope 30 assigned in S18 and specifies a usable cleaning machine 50 (S110). When the use of the cleaning machine 50 is not limited, that is, when the use of all the cleaning machines 50 is permitted for the scope 30, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 sets all the first cleaning machines 50a to 4th. It is specified that the cleaning machine 50d can be used. At this time, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 refers to the cleaning schedule held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and acquires a usable time zone for each cleaning machine 50. The usable time zone means a time zone where no cleaning is scheduled. When the second allocation processing unit 140 executes the cleaning machine allocation process for the first time, the cleaning schedule is blank, that is, no cleaning schedule is registered in any of the cleaning machines 50. The belt is usable. The washing machine allocation unit 144 is notified of the usable washing machine 50 and its usable time zone.

  The washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns a washing machine 50 for washing the scope 30 used in each endoscopic examination from among a plurality of usable washing machines 50. Here, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 cleans the scope 30 so that the time after the scheduled end time of the examination of the scope 30 assigned to the endoscopy by the scope assigning unit 126 becomes the scheduled cleaning start time. A washing machine 50 is assigned. In the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of operational efficiency, it is possible to set the same time as the scheduled inspection end time as the scheduled cleaning start time. However, an interval of a predetermined time is set between the scheduled inspection end time and the scheduled cleaning start time. May be provided.

  The washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the washing machines 50 in order from the earliest scheduled test end time among the plurality of scopes 30 to which the washing machine 50 is assigned, that is, the plurality of scopes 30 assigned to the examination in S18. . Here, since the scheduled end time of the inspections E1 to E3 is 9:10 and the scheduled end time of the inspection E4 is 9:15, the washing machine allocation unit 144 performs the order of the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4. Then, the cleaning machine 50 is assigned to the scope to be used. The washing machine assigning unit 144 may assign the washing machines 50 in the order in which the scopes 30 are assigned to the inspection. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that there is always an assignable washer 50 for the scope 30 (Y in S112), but there is no assignable washer 50 (S112). N) is notified that the cleaning machine 50 cannot be assigned to the scope 30 (S116).

  The washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a to the scope G-R-1 used in the inspection E1 (S114). In the embodiment, the scheduled cleaning time of all the cleaning machines 50 is set to 20 minutes. However, the scheduled cleaning time may be different for each cleaning machine 50, and the planned cleaning time differs depending on the cleaning mode in the cleaning machine 50. Also good. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E1 to the scheduled cleaning start time, and sets 20 minutes later as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set for the first washing machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. The status of the cleaning machine 50 is either “in use” or “standby”. When the schedule information generation process is started, the status of all the cleaning machines 50 is “standby”. It is assumed. The status between 9:10 and 9:30 of the scope G-R-1 is “being washed”.

  Next, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 assigns the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope G-R-2 used in the inspection E2 (S114). The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E2 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:10), and sets 9:30, which is 20 minutes later, as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set for the second washing machine 50b between 9:10 and 9:30.

  Next, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the third washing machine 50c to the scope G-R-3 used in the inspection E3 (S114). The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E3 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:10), and sets 9:30, which is 20 minutes later, as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set for the third washing machine 50c between 9:10 and 9:30.

  Finally, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the fourth washing machine 50d to the scope C-R-1 used in the inspection E4 (S114). The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E4 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:15), and sets 9:35, which is 20 minutes later, as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). With this allocation, the status of “in use” is set for the fourth washing machine 50d between 9:15 and 9:35.

  As described above, the cleaning machine assignment process is repeated until the cleaning machines 50 are assigned to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (N in S120). When the cleaning machines 50 are assigned to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (Y in S120), the cleaning machine assignment process is terminated. The result of allocation by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is notified to the cleaning schedule management unit 130.

  FIG. 14 shows the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-R-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. The scope G-R-2 is cleaned by the second cleaning machine 50b, the scope G-R-3 is cleaned by the third cleaning machine 50c, the fourth between 9:15 and 9:35. It is registered that the scope C-R-1 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50d. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  FIG. 15 shows schedule information of the individual of the scope 30. Here, for ease of understanding, an example is shown in which the display processing unit 150 displays the individual schedule when the above-described processing is completed. However, in reality, the display processing is performed when all scheduling is completed. The unit 150 displays the individual schedule. In FIG. 15, C1 indicates that the first cleaning machine 50a, C2 is the second cleaning machine 50b, C3 is the third cleaning machine 50c, and C4 is the fourth cleaning machine 50d. E1, E2, etc. indicate the inspection numbers of the inspections in use. The information indicated by the individual schedule is schedule information for each individual.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the washing machine assignment process of S20 is completed, it is determined whether or not the processes for all inspection numbers have been completed (S22). If not completed, the process returns to S16 and the basic flow is repeated. .
Hereinafter, a process of generating schedule information of the scope 30 by repeatedly executing the steps S16 to S20 will be described. Note that the steps S16 to S20 described above regarding the inspections E1 to E4 are the first processing.

<Second time: S16 to S20>
In S16, the inspection extraction unit 122 extracts the inspection E5 from the first inspection room 20a, the inspection E6 from the second inspection room 20b, the inspection E7 from the third inspection room 20c, and the inspection E8 from the fourth inspection room 20d. E5 to E8 are specified as examinations to which the scope 30 is assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 14, which are upper inspection scopes, as the candidate scopes for the examinations E5, E6, and E7, and for the examination E8, for the lower examination. The scopes of endoscope numbers 16 to 19 that are scopes are determined as candidate scopes. It should be noted that at the scheduled start time (9:15) for the examinations E5, E6, and E7, the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “being washed”. Don't be. Further, at the scheduled start time (9:20) of the examination E8, the status of the scope of the endoscope number 15 is “being cleaned”, and thus does not become a candidate scope for the examination E8. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assignment unit 126.

  Upon receiving the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 receives the scope G-R-4 with the endoscope number 4 for the examination E5 and the scope G- with the endoscope number 5 for the examination E6. R-5 is assigned scope G-R-6 of endoscope number 6 to examination E7. In addition, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope CR-2 of the endoscope number 16 to the examination E8.

  In S20, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a to the scope G-R-4 of the inspection E5, assigns the second washing machine 50b to the scope G-R-5 of the inspection E6, The third cleaner 50c is assigned to the scope G-R-6 of the inspection E7, and the fourth cleaner 50d is assigned to the scope C-R-2 of the inspection E8. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes GR-R-4, GR-5, and GR-6 to 9:30 and the scheduled cleaning end time of 9:50. -Set the scheduled cleaning start time of R-2 to 9:35 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 9:55.

  FIG. 16 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope specifying unit 124 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

<Third time: S16 to S20>
In S16, the inspection extraction unit 122 extracts the inspection E9 from the first inspection chamber 20a, the inspection E10 from the second inspection chamber 20b, the inspection E11 from the third inspection chamber 20c, and the inspection E12 from the fourth inspection chamber 20d. E9 to E12 are specified as examinations to which the scope 30 is assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 and 7 to 14 that are upper inspection scopes as the candidate scopes for the examinations E9, E10, and E11, and the examination E12. The scopes of endoscope numbers 15 and 17 to 19, which are lower inspection scopes, are determined as candidate scopes. It should be noted that at the scheduled start time (9:30) of examinations E9, E10, and E11, because the statuses of the scopes of endoscope numbers 4 to 6 are “being washed”, the candidate scopes of examinations E9, E10, and E11 Don't be. In addition, at the scheduled start time of the examination E12 (9:40), the scope status of the endoscope number 16 is “being washed”, so it is not a candidate scope for the examination E12. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assignment unit 126.

  In the scopes of endoscope numbers 1 to 3, 9:30 is the scheduled cleaning end time, and the cleaning is completed at 9:30. Therefore, the status is “waiting”, and examinations E9 and E10 are performed. , E11 candidate scope. The scope of the endoscope number 15 is 9:35 at the scheduled cleaning end time, and the status is “waiting” at 9:40, which becomes a candidate scope for the examination E12.

  Upon receiving the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 receives the scope G-R-1 having the endoscope number 1 for the examination E9 and the scope G- having the endoscope number 2 for the examination E10. R-2 is assigned scope G-R-3 of endoscope number 3 to examination E11. The scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope C-R-1 having the endoscope number 15 to the examination E12.

  In this way, the scope assigning unit 126 can reassign a scope that has been “waiting” after the cleaning is completed at the scheduled start time of the examination to the examination. In other words, in the scheduling process, the scope allocating unit 126 performs the internal view so that the time after the scheduled cleaning end time by the cleaning machine 50 allocated to the scope 30 by the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 becomes the scheduled inspection start time. A scope 30 can be assigned to the speculum. In this third step, the washing machine allocating unit 144 efficiently assigns the washing machine 50 to the scope 30, so that the scopes G-R-1, G-R-2, G-R-3, C -R-1 is reassigned to the inspection that is started after each scheduled cleaning end time, and the scope 30 can be efficiently scheduled.

  In S20, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope G-R-1 of the inspection E9, assigns the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope G-R-2 of the inspection E10, The third cleaner 50c is assigned to the scope G-R-3 of the inspection E11, and the first cleaner 50a is assigned to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E12. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes G-R-1, G-R-2, and G-R-3 to 9:50 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:10. -Set the scheduled cleaning start time of R-1 to 10:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:30.

  FIG. 17 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

  As shown in the inspection schedule, the inspection E12 in which the scope CR-R-1 is used has an inspection end scheduled time of 10:00, while the fourth cleaning machine 50d has a fourth cleaning schedule. The washing machine 50d can be used after 9:55. Therefore, the washing machine assigning unit 144 can assign the fourth washing machine 50d from 10:00 to the scope CR-1 of the inspection E12, but the unused time of 5 minutes is assigned to the fourth washing machine 50d. Therefore, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope CR-1.

<4th time: S16 to S20>
In S16, the examination extraction unit 122 extracts the examination E14 from the first examination room 20a, the examination E15 from the second examination room 20b, the examination E13 from the third examination room 20c, and the examination E19 from the fourth examination room 20d. When the step of S34 in FIG. 8 is executed, the scheduled test start time (10:00) of the test E16 next to the test E13 in the third test room 20c is the scheduled test start time of the test E19 in the fourth test room 20d. It is earlier than (10:05) (N in S34). That is, the examination E19 extracted from the fourth examination room 20d is started after the examination E16 in the third examination room 20c that has not been extracted yet. Therefore, the inspection extracting unit 122 determines that a scope should not be assigned to the inspection E19 before the inspection E16, and removes the inspection E19 from the inspection to be assigned a scope (S38). The inspections E13, E14, and E15 are specified as inspections to which the scope 30 is assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 7 to 14, which are upper inspection scopes, as candidate scopes for the inspection E13 whose inspection start scheduled time is 9:45. At the scheduled examination start time (9:45), the statuses of the scopes with the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “used” and the statuses of the scopes with the endoscope numbers 4 to 6 are “being washed”. This is not a candidate scope for inspection E13. Further, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 14 which are upper inspection scopes as candidate scopes for the examinations E14 and E15 whose examination start scheduled time is 9:50. At the scheduled examination start time (9:50), the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “being washed”, and thus do not become candidate scopes for the examination E13. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assignment unit 126.

  Upon receiving the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 receives the scope G-H-1 having the endoscope number 7 for the examination E13 and the scope G- having the endoscope number 4 for the examination E14. R-4 is assigned scope G-R-5 with endoscope number 5 for examination E15. The scopes G-R-4 and G-R-5 are assigned to the inspection again after completing the cleaning at 9:50.

  In S20, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the fourth washing machine 50d to the scope G-H-1 of the inspection E13, assigns the second washing machine 50b to the scope G-R-4 of the inspection E14, The 3rd washing machine 50c is assigned to scope G-R-5 of inspection E15. The washing machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scope GH-1 to 9:55 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:15, and starts cleaning of the GR-4 and GR-5. The scheduled time is set to 10:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 10:30.

  FIG. 18 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

  FIG. 19 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30. As described above, the individual schedule information of the scope 30 is created as shown in FIG. 19 by repeating S16 to S20 in the basic flowchart four times.

As described above, the processes of S16 to S20 are repeated until the allocation process for the final examination is completed.
FIG. 20 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. As described above, the assignment of the scope 30 is completed for all the inspections, and the assignment of the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 is completed, whereby the schedule information generation process of the scope 30 is completed.

FIG. 21 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30 for one day.
The allocation result of the scope 30 by the scope allocation unit 126 and / or the allocation result of the cleaning machine 50 by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 12 by the display processing unit 150.
For example, the display processing unit 150 may read the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206 and display the inspection schedule table illustrated in FIG. 20 on the display of the terminal device 12. The display processing unit 150 may read the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and display the cleaning schedule table illustrated in FIG. 20 on the display of the terminal device 12. The display processing unit 150 may display the inspection schedule table and the cleaning schedule table on the same screen. Thus, the doctor and the examination preparation person can easily recognize which scope 30 is used for the examination, and the examination preparation person can easily recognize which washing machine 50 is used to wash the used scope 30. become.

  The display processing unit 150 may read the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206 and read the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 to display the individual schedule table of the scope 30 on the display of the terminal device 12. Good. This individual schedule table is shown in FIG. 21, and by generating such an individual schedule table, the examination preparation person can know the schedule of each individual in the scope 30. When an examination preparation person wants to know the status of the scope 30 at a certain point of time, the individual schedule table can know the status such as whether the scope 30 is being cleaned or in use.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, the scope CR-1 is scheduled to be cleaned from 12:30 to 12:50. Although it depends on the medical facility, when the examination preparation person's lunch break is determined to be, for example, 12:30 to 13:30, it may be notified that this cleaning process is outside working hours.

  The end time determination unit 146 determines whether or not the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time (12:30) as a result of assigning the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 by the cleaning machine assignment unit 144. When it is determined by the end time determination unit 146 that the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time, the cleaning machine assignment availability confirmation unit 148 notifies the user (for example, an operator) whether or not the washing machine assignment is possible. You may go. For example, the timing of this notification may be after the scope 30 assignment process is completed for all examinations. Referring to FIG. 21, since the scheduled cleaning end time of scope GH-1 is 12:35, the cleaning machine allocation availability confirmation unit 148 also determines whether the cleaning machine allocation is possible for this cleaning schedule. Confirm with the user.

  The doctor's schedule is determined by the examination order, and the doctor grasps the scheduled start time of the next examination, the examination room, and the like from the examination schedule table. Similarly, the information management apparatus 10 may set a schedule for the examination preparation person. In this schedule, it may be set that the test preparer carries the scope 30 to the examination room 20 before starting the examination, and the scope 30 to the washing room 40 after the examination ends, and also assists the examination in the examination room. Etc. may be set.

Hereinafter, various aspects related to the scheduling process performed by the information management apparatus 10 according to the embodiment will be described.
<Example 1>
In the embodiment, in the scope search process illustrated in FIG. 11, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. At this time, the examination type is distinguished depending on whether it is an upper examination or a lower examination. In the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124, based on examination type information indicating more detailed examination contents, A usable scope 30 is specified.

  FIG. 22 shows a scope order table held in the scope order holding unit 204. The scope order table records a scope model to be preferentially assigned to the examination type in association with it. Here, “priority scope model 1” is information regarding a model that should be assigned with the highest priority, and “priority scope model 2” is information regarding a model that should be assigned with the second priority. If the scope 30 designated by “priority scope model 1” is “standby”, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the scope 30 as a candidate scope. On the other hand, if the scope 30 specified by “priority scope model 1” is not “standby” and the scope 30 specified by “priority scope model 2” is “standby”, the scope specifying unit 124 The scope 30 of the “priority scope model 2” is specified as a candidate scope. As described above, the scope order holding unit 204 holds the priority order of the model of the scope 30 to be assigned to the examination type of the endoscopic examination, and the scope specifying unit 124 assigns the scope 30 of the model having a higher priority order to the candidate scope. As specified.

  FIG. 23 shows a detailed flowchart of scope search processing in the first embodiment. The scope specifying unit 124 executes search processing for all the scopes 30 that have a status of “standby”. The scope specifying unit 124 specifies the usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. In S90, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the upper inspection, it is determined that the upper inspection scope is compatible and the lower inspection scope is not compatible. Similarly, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates a lower inspection, it is determined that the lower inspection scope is compatible and the upper inspection scope is not compatible.

  Describing the first steps S16 to S20 in the embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 corresponds to the scopes of endoscope numbers 1 to 14 which are upper inspection scopes for the inspections E1, E2, and E3. A scope corresponding to the scopes of endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which is a lower inspection scope, is determined for the examination E4 (S90).

  The inspection type of the inspections E1, E2, and E3 is “upper routine inspection”, and the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 and refers to the model with the highest priority (priority scope). Recognize that model 1) is "upper routine machine". Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether the “upper routine machine” is included in the corresponding scope (S96). Here, since the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 exist as the upper routine machine (Y in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes (S92). .

  The inspection type of inspection E4 is “lower routine inspection”, and the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 and has the highest priority (priority scope model 1). Recognizes that it is a “lower routine machine”. Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether the corresponding scope includes “lower routine machine” (S96). Here, since there is a scope with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as a lower routine machine (Y in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scope with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as a candidate scope (S92). .

  Regarding the inspections E1 to E3, when the scope of the priority scope model 1 is not included in the corresponding scope (N in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 Then, it recognizes that the model with the second highest priority (priority scope model 2) is the “upper image quality machine”. Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether or not the corresponding scope includes “upper image quality machine” (S98). If included (Y in S98), the scope specifying unit 124 determines that the upper image quality is high. The machine scope is determined as a candidate scope (S92).

  If the scope of the priority scope model 2 is not included in the corresponding scope (N in S98), the scope specifying unit 124 selects the priority among the scopes determined to be compatible with the examination type in S90. A scope of a model other than the scope model is determined as a candidate scope (S92). The scope specifying unit 124 notifies the specified candidate scope to the scope assigning unit 126, and the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope 30 to the examination as described in the embodiment.

  When the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scope 30 of the low priority model and the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the specified scope to the endoscopy, the scope assignability confirmation unit 128 It is preferable to confirm with the user whether or not it is possible. For example, if the priority scope model 1 is not assigned, the scope assignment availability confirmation unit 128 may perform user confirmation that a model with a lower priority is assigned, but is set by the scope order holding unit 204. If a certain model is assigned (for example, the priority scope model 2 is assigned), the user confirmation may not be performed. That is, only when the scope specifying unit 124 determines a model other than the priority scope model as a candidate scope, and the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the candidate scope to the inspection, the scope assignability confirmation unit 128 You may make it confirm with a user whether allocation is possible. If the scope specifying unit 124 cannot determine the priority scope model as a candidate scope (N in S98), it determines that there is no candidate scope, and the scope assignment confirmation unit 128 notifies the user to that effect. May be.

  The timing of this confirmation may be after the scope 30 assignment process has been completed for all examinations. At least the user needs to be aware that there is an examination that has not been assigned an appropriate scope 30 prior to the start of a day of endoscopic examination work.

  Comparing the embodiment with Example 1, for example, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the scope G-R-1 that is the upper routine machine is assigned to the examination E9 that is the upper nasal examination. Yes. However, according to the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204, and the model (priority scope model 1) having the highest priority in the examination E9 is “upper nasal”. The scope identifying unit 124 identifies the scope GN-1 of the endoscope number 10 as the candidate scope for the examination E9. Similarly, the scope specifying unit 124 uses the scopes GH-1 to GH-3 of the endoscope numbers 7 to 9 which are upper image quality machines as candidate scopes for the inspection E10 which is the upper close inspection. Identify. Therefore, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope GN-1 to the examination E9 and assigns the scope GH-1 to the examination E10. In this way, in comparison with the embodiment, in Example 1, the scope 30 having a high priority, that is, suitable for the inspection, is assigned to the endoscopic inspection, so that the inspection schedule can be completed.

<Example 2>
In the endoscope inspection work support system 1, a scope that has been worn out or aged is likely to suffer from functional deterioration or failure. In general, a case where the scope wears out or is aging is a case where the number of times and the time of use of the scope are extremely larger than those of other scopes. The purpose is to equalize the usage time.

Returning to FIG. 3, the usage status storage unit 224 stores past usage statuses of the plurality of scopes 30 owned.
FIG. 24 shows a usage status table stored in the usage status storage unit 224. The usage status table records the past usage status in association with each scope 30. This usage situation is only for the past, and the usage situation is updated when it is actually used. Here, the usage status is “use count” and “use time”, “use time” indicates the cumulative number of times used for the inspection, and “use time” indicates the cumulative time used for the inspection.

  With reference to FIG. 1, when an examination is started, the scope 30 is connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22. At this time, the identification information (scope ID) of the scope 30 is transmitted via the network 2 to the information management apparatus 10. Sent to. When the examination end button is operated in the endoscope observation apparatus 22 (or when the scope 30 is pulled out from the endoscope observation apparatus 22) when the examination is finished, an examination completion notice is transmitted to the information management apparatus 10. Is done. In the information management apparatus 10, the usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors information transmitted from the endoscope observation apparatus 22, and uses the time from when the scope ID is transmitted to when the examination end notification is transmitted. Derived as time. When the inspection end notification is transmitted, the usage status monitoring unit 160 increments the usage count of the corresponding scope 30 in the usage status table by one, and adds the currently used test usage time to the usage time to obtain the usage status. The table is updated and recorded in the usage status storage unit 224. The usage status table is created as described above.

  Note that the usage status table shown in FIG. 24 is merely an example for easy understanding. In FIG. 24, for example, the number of times of use and the time of use of the upper routine machines having the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 are greatly different. A technique for leveling (equalizing) usage time is proposed. Therefore, it should be noted that the usage status table shown in FIG. 24 is merely an example of usage status.

  In the second embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 displays the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be assigned to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Referring to the scope 30, the scope 30 having a relatively small number of past uses or the past use time is preferentially assigned to the endoscopy.

  FIG. 25 shows a detailed flowchart of S56 in the scope assignment processing shown in FIG. The scope assigning unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 among the candidate scopes notified from the scope specifying unit 124, and specifies the candidate scope with the smallest number of past usages (S130). .

  Hereinafter, an example in which candidate scopes for examinations E1, E2, and E3 are specified by the scope search process described in the first embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes for the examinations E1, E2, and E3, and notifies the scope assigning unit 126 of the scopes.

  The scope assigning unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224 and uses the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 for the examination E1. The scope G-R-3 with the endoscope number 3 is specified as the scope with the smallest number of times (S130). The scope GR-R-3 is used 40 times, more than the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-4, GR-5, GR-6. Since there is no other scope that is relatively small and uses 40 times (Y in S132), the scope assignment unit 126 assigns the scope G-R-3 to the examination E1 (S136). The scope assigning unit 126 contributes to equalizing the number of times the scope is used by assigning the least frequently used GR-3 in preference to the inspection E1.

  When the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope to the examination, the scope assigning unit 126 sets the provisional use count and the use time (provisional use situation) as the use situation of the scope (S138). Here, the number of times of using endoscope number 3 is temporarily increased by 1, and referring to the inspection type master table 210 shown in FIG. 5, the operating time is temporarily increased by 10 minutes (the scheduled inspection time of the upper routine inspection is 10 minutes). . As a result, the provisional use count of endoscope number 3 is “41”, and the provisional use time is “660 minutes”. This provisional usage status will be used thereafter in the allocation execution process shown in FIG.

  Note that the provisional usage count and usage time are not reflected in the usage status table of the usage status storage unit 224. The provisional usage status is set only for the purpose of use for scheduling of the scope 30, and may be discarded when scheduling of the scope 30 is performed for all examinations.

  Next, the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1, 2, 4 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224, and determines the endoscope numbers 1 and 2 for the examination E2. Among the scopes 4 to 6, the scope G-R-2 with the endoscope number 2 and the scope GR-4 with the endoscope number 4 are specified as the scope with the smallest number of uses (S130). The scopes G-R-2, G-R-4 are used 50 times, which is relatively less than the scopes G-R-1, G-R-5, G-R-6, Two scopes having the same number of uses are identified (N in S132). Here, the scope allocating unit 126 refers to the scope usage status of the endoscope numbers 2 and 4 stored in the usage status storage unit 224 out of the two scopes, and sets the endoscope as the scope with the shortest usage time. The scope G-R-2 of number 2 is specified (S134), and the scope G-R-2 is assigned to the examination E2 (S136). The scope allocating unit 126 contributes to equalization of scope usage time by allocating GR-2 with the least number of uses and the least usage time among the candidate scopes in preference to the inspection E2. The scope assigning unit 126 sets a temporary use count and a use time (temporary use situation) as the use situation of the scope of the endoscope number 2 (S138). That is, the provisional use count of endoscope number 2 is “51”, and the provisional use time is “510 minutes”.

  Next, the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1 and 4 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224, and sets the endoscope numbers 1 and 4 to 6 for the examination E3. The scope G-R-4 with the endoscope number 4 is specified as the scope with the smallest number of times of use (S130). The number of times G-R-4 is used is 50 times, which is relatively less than the number of times the scopes G-R-1, G-R-5, and G-R-6 are used. G-R-4 is assigned (S136). The scope assigning unit 126 contributes to equalization of the number of times the scope is used by assigning the least frequently used GR-4 among the candidate scopes in preference to the inspection E3. The scope assigning unit 126 sets a temporary use count and a use time (temporary use situation) as the use situation of the scope of the endoscope number 4 (S138).

  As described above, the scope allocation unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be allocated to each endoscopy, and the number of past usages. Alternatively, the scope 30 having a relatively small past use time is preferentially assigned to the endoscopy, thereby contributing to leveling of the number of uses or the use time. In FIG. 25, the candidate scope with the smallest number of uses is identified in S130, and the candidate scope with the least usage time is identified in S134, but this order may be reversed. When there are a plurality of candidate scopes having the same number of times of use and use time, the scope assignment unit 126 may assign any candidate scope to the endoscopy.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the allocation mode of the scope 30 in the inspection schedule has been described. In Example 3 below, an allocation mode of the cleaning machines 50 in the cleaning schedule will be described.
<Example 3>
Returning to FIG. 3, the cleaning machine order holding unit 226 holds the priority order of the cleaning machine 50 to be assigned to the scope 30.
FIG. 26 shows a washing machine ranking table held in the washing machine ranking holding unit 226. The cleaning machine order table records the priority order of the cleaning machine 50 to be assigned to the scope 30 in association with each other. In this cleaning machine ranking table, each scope is recorded on the vertical axis and each cleaning machine is recorded on the horizontal axis, and the priority order is set for the combination of the scope and the cleaning machine. In this example, the first cleaning machine 50a and the second cleaning machine 50b use the chemical liquid A, the third cleaning machine 50c uses the chemical liquid B, and the fourth cleaning machine 50d uses the chemical liquid C. . Note that the cleaning machine ranking table may associate the priority of the cleaning machine 50 to be assigned to the scope model, not to the scope individual.

  In the third embodiment, the first cleaning machine 50a and the second cleaning machine 50b may be the same model, but may be different models. The first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b, the third washing machine 50c, and the fourth washing machine 50d use different chemical solutions, and therefore, these models are different. Thus, when the some washing machine 50 is comprised by a different model, the washing machine order | rank holding | maintenance part 226 hold | maintains the priority order regarding a washing machine model.

  In the cleaning machine ranking table shown in FIG. 26, the setting value 1 indicates that the priority is the highest, and the setting value 2 indicates that the priority is the second highest. The set value 3 indicates that the priority is the third highest. The set value 0 indicates that assignment to the scope 30 is prohibited.

  In the cleaning machine ranking table shown in FIG. 26, the set value 0 is given to the fourth cleaning machine 50d that uses the chemical C. This is because, for example, since the chemical solution C has a strong attack property that easily deteriorates the scope member, it is prohibited from being used for cleaning many scopes 30 in medical facilities. In this example, although setting value 2 is given to GT-1 and GT-2 which are upper treatment machines and CT-1 which is a lower treatment machine, for other scopes In this case, the set value 0 is given and use is prohibited. For example, the chemical solution C may be strongly acidic electrolyzed water.

  In this way, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the priority order of the cleaning machine 50 to be assigned is set based on the attacking property of the cleaning chemical used in the cleaning machine 50. The cleaning machine ranking table is appropriately created according to the policy of the medical facility, and by creating the cleaning machine ranking table depending on the strength of the attack property, the life of the scope 30 can be expected to be extended. On the other hand, for example, strongly acidic electrolyzed water has a merit that it is very inexpensive as a cleaning chemical solution. Therefore, according to the policy which paid its attention to the cost concerning a chemical | medical solution, it is also possible to give setting values other than the setting value 0 with respect to the washing machine 50 which uses strongly acidic electrolyzed water. Thus, the priority order of the cleaning machine 50 held by the cleaning machine order holding unit 226 is set based on the chemical solution used in the cleaning machine 50.

  FIG. 27 shows a detailed flowchart of S110 in the washing machine assignment process shown in FIG. In S110, the washing machine specifying unit 142 executes a search process for the owned washing machine 50 for each of the scopes 30 assigned by the scope assignment process in S18 (see FIG. 7), and can be used. 50 is specified.

  Hereinafter, the scopes G-R-1, G-R-2, G-R-3, and C-R-1 are assigned to the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 by the scope allocation process described in the embodiment. This will be described with an example assigned. That is, the washing machine assignment process is started in a state where the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 12 is set.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in the second assignment processing unit 140, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 refers to the cleaning machine order information held in the cleaning machine order holding unit 226, and the scopes G-R-1, G-R- 2. With respect to G-R-3 and C-R-1, washing machines 50 other than the set value 0 are extracted (S150). In S150, the washing machine 50 whose use is not prohibited is extracted. Here, for the scopes G-R-1, G-R-2, and G-R-3, which are upper routine machines, the set values of the first washing machine 50a, the second washing machine 50b, and the third washing machine 50c are 0. In addition, similarly for the scope CR-R that is the lower routine machine, the set values of the washing machine 50a, the second washing machine 50b, and the third washing machine 50c are not zero. Therefore, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 specifies the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c as candidate cleaning machines for each of the inspections E1 to E4 (S152). The identified candidate cleaning machines are notified to the cleaning machine allocation unit 144.

  FIG. 28 shows a detailed flowchart of S114 in the washing machine assignment process shown in FIG. In S <b> 114, the cleaning machine assignment unit 144 assigns the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30.

  First, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 performs the cleaning machine assignment for the scope GR-1 of the inspection E1. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and identifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be assigned first among candidate cleaning machines (S160). As described in the embodiment, when the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 notifies the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 of the available time zone of the candidate cleaning machine, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 notifies the notified time. You may identify the washing | cleaning machine 50 which can be allocated at the earliest with reference to a belt | band | zone.

  Here, the candidate cleaning machines, that is, the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c are usable in the entire time zone in the initial state, that is, the status of the all time zone is “waiting” " Therefore, the washing machine assigning unit 144 specifies that all of the first washing machine 50a, the second washing machine 50b, and the third washing machine 50c can be assigned first (S160), and the first assignable cleaning is performed. It is determined that there are a plurality of machines (Y in S162). Here, the washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the priority order held in the washing machine order holding unit 226, and assigns the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b to the scope G-R-1 of the inspection E1. It is recognized that the set value 1 is given (S164). Thereby, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a to the scope G-R-1 (S166). In this way, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a having a high priority to the scope G-R-1, and thereby can be washed with a washing machine suitable for the scope. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, which are registered in the cleaning schedule. As a result, the status between 9:10 and 9:30 of the first cleaning machine 50a becomes “in use”.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 performs cleaning machine allocation for the scope G-R-2 of the inspection E2. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and identifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be assigned first among candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, since the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first washing machine 50a, the washing machine assignment unit 144 assigns the second washing machine 50b and the third washing machine 50c first. It is determined that it is possible (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of washing machines that can be assigned at the earliest (Y in S162). Here, the washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the priority order held in the washing machine rank holding unit 226, and the setting value 1 is given to the second washing machine 50b for the scope G-R-2 of the inspection E2. (S164). Thereby, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the second washing machine 50b to the scope G-R-2. In this way, the cleaning machine assignment unit 144 assigns the second cleaning machine 50b having a high priority to the scope GR-2. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, which are registered in the cleaning schedule.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 performs the cleaning machine allocation for the scope G-R-3 of the inspection E3. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and identifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be assigned first among candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, since the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b, the washing machine assignment unit 144 assigns the third washing machine 50c first. It is determined that it is possible (S160), and it is determined that there is one specified cleaning machine 50 (N in S162). Thereby, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the third washing machine 50c to the scope GR-3. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, and is registered in the cleaning schedule.

  Regarding the scope G-R-3, the set value of the third washing machine 50c is 2, and the priority is lower than that of the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b. Therefore, the first cleaning machine 50a or the second cleaning machine 50b can be assigned to the scope G-R-3 at the time when the first cleaning machine 50a or the second cleaning machine 50b can be used. However, in such a case, cleaning of the scope G-R-3 is delayed, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of work efficiency. Therefore, the washing machine assigning unit 144 actively assigns even the washing machine 50 having a low priority, as long as assignment is not prohibited.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 performs the cleaning machine allocation for the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E4. The cleaning machine assigning unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and identifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be assigned first among candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set in the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c, and the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 sets the first cleaning machine 50a. The second washing machine 50b and the third washing machine 50c are all specified to be assignable at the earliest (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of washing machines that can be assigned at the earliest (Y in S162). .

  Here, the washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the priority order held in the washing machine order holding unit 226, and assigns the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E4. It is recognized that the set value 1 is given (S164). Thereby, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a to the scope CR-1 (S166). In this way, the washing machine assigning unit 144 assigns the first washing machine 50a having a higher priority to the scope CR-R-1, thereby allowing washing with a washing machine suitable for the scope. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:30, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:50, which are registered in the cleaning schedule.

  FIG. 29 illustrates a cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130 in the third embodiment. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-R-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. The scope G-R-2 is cleaned by the second cleaning machine 50b, the scope G-R-3 is cleaned by the third cleaning machine 50c, and the first between 9:30 and 9:50. It is registered that the scope C-R-1 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50a. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  Compared to FIG. 14 described in the embodiment, the fourth cleaning machine 50d is not used in the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. This is because the use of the fourth washing machine 50d with respect to the scope C-R-1, in other words, the use of the chemical solution C is prohibited, so that no scope is assigned to the fourth washing machine 50d. Yes. In FIG. 26, for the scopes GT-1, GT-2, and CT-1, the setting value of the fourth cleaning machine 50d is 2, and therefore, the cleaning of these scopes is performed. In the scheduling, the fourth washing machine 50d may be assigned.

  Although the case where the use of the fourth washing machine 50d having a set value of 0 is prohibited in the washing machine rank holding unit 226 has been described above, the cleaning schedule generation process may be operated with this restriction relaxed. This is because in the above-described operation of prohibition of use, the fourth cleaning machine 50d is not normally used, and it is assumed that the scope 30 is waiting for cleaning without efficiently cleaning the scope 30. Therefore, a gentle restriction that avoids assignment to the scope 30 as much as possible may be adopted instead of a strict restriction that prohibits the washing machine 50 having the setting value 0 from being assigned to the scope 30. The strict limit and the gradual limit may be determined by, for example, a scheduling mode. When the efficiency of the cleaning process is promoted, the user selects the moderate limit mode to set the set value 0. The washing machine 50 may be assignable to the scope 30.

  In this case, it is preferable to store, for each scope 30, the number of times the usage status storage unit 224 (or history recording unit 232 described later) performs cleaning with the cleaning machine 50 having a set value 0. The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 is configured so that the number of times of cleaning with the cleaning machine 50 with the set value 0 does not protrude by the scope 30 and that the number of cleanings with the cleaning machine 50 with the set value 0 becomes equal. The washing machine 50 is preferably assigned to the scope 30. An upper limit (for example, 20 times) may be set for the number of times the cleaning machine 50 with the set value 0 performs cleaning, and the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 assigns the cleaning machine 50 with the set value 0 exceeding the upper limit. It may not be possible.

<Example 4>
In the fourth embodiment, when the scope 30 is scheduled, a certain scope 30 performs an allocation process such that it is used by a specific doctor as much as possible. By setting the scope 30 and a doctor using the scope as a set, for example, the scope 30 that has been maintained in a good condition for a long time can be analyzed that a frequently used doctor is operating well, Thus, the scope 30 or the like that is prone to failure can be analyzed such that there is some problem in the operation of a doctor who is frequently used.

Returning to FIG. 3, the assignment scope information holding unit 228 holds priority scope information related to a scope to be preferentially assigned to a doctor.
FIG. 30 shows a priority scope table stored in the allocation scope information holding unit 228. The priority scope table records, for each scope model, priority scope information that defines the priority order of the scope 30 to be assigned to each doctor in charge of endoscopy. Here, the priority order is given on the assumption that the medical facility has a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model, and the allocation scope information holding unit 228 includes a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model. The scope that is preferentially assigned to the doctor is held as priority scope information. In FIG. 30, “priority scope 1” is the scope having the first allocation priority, “priority scope 2” is the scope having the second allocation priority, and “priority scope 3” is the allocation priority. Is the third scope.

  For example, regarding the upper routine machine, the doctor A has the allocation priority of the scope G-R-2 set as the first and the allocation priority of the scope G-R-1 is set as the second. This priority scope information is information that specifies that priority scope is assigned preferentially when the priority scope can be assigned to a doctor, and the priority scope does not necessarily have to be assigned to a doctor. For example, in the examination scheduled to be performed by the doctor A, if the statuses of the scopes G-R-2 and G-R-1 are not “waiting” at the scheduled examination start time, the scope assignment unit 126 may be another upper routine machine. To avoid delays in testing.

  In the fourth embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 performs endoscopy based on the priority scope information held in the assigned scope information holding unit 228 and the information related to the doctor in charge of endoscopy managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Determine the scope 30 to be assigned to the speculum.

  FIG. 31 shows a detailed flowchart of S56 in the scope assignment processing shown in FIG. The scope assignment unit 126 acquires the priority scope information held in the assignment scope information holding unit 228 based on the doctor in charge of the endoscopy (S180).

  Hereinafter, an example in which candidate scopes of examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 are specified by the scope search process described in the first embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes of the examinations E1, E2, and E3, and specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as candidate scopes of the examination E4. This is notified to the scope allocation unit 126.

  The scope assigning unit 126 acquires priority scope information regarding the scope model to be used from the assigned scope information holding unit 228 for each examination based on the doctor information in charge of each of the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S180).

  Referring to the examination schedule of FIG. 4, the examination E1 is performed by the doctor B, and the scope assignment unit 126 refers to the priority scope table, and the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-3. Recognizing that scope 2 is GR-1 and priority scope 3 is GR-2. In the examination E2, the doctor C is the doctor in charge, and the scope assigning unit 126 is such that the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-1, the priority scope 2 is GR-5, and the priority scope 3 is GR-4. Recognize that. In the examination E3, the doctor E is the doctor in charge, and the scope assigning unit 126 is that the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-5, the priority scope 2 is GR-6, and the priority scope 3 is GR-4. Recognize that. In the examination E4, the doctor D is the doctor in charge, and the scope assigning unit 126 recognizes that the priority scope 1 of the lower routine machine is CR-3.

  Regarding the examination E1, the scope allocating unit 126 determines that the scope G-R-3, which is the priority scope 1, is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 (Y in S182), and therefore the examination. The scope G-R-3 is assigned to E1 (S186). Thereby, the doctor B comes to use the scope G-R-3 in the examination E1.

  Next, regarding the examination E2, the scope allocation unit 126 determines that the scope G-R-1 which is the priority scope 1 is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 1, 2, 4 to 6 (S182). Y), therefore, the scope G-R-1 is assigned to the examination E2 (S186). Thereby, the doctor C comes to use the scope G-R-1 in the examination E2.

  Next, regarding the examination E3, the scope allocation unit 126 determines that the scope G-R-5, which is the priority scope 1, is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 2, 4 to 6 (Y in S182). Therefore, the scope G-R-5 is assigned to the inspection E3 (S186). Thereby, the doctor E comes to use the scope G-R-5 in the examination E3.

  Finally, regarding the examination E4, the scope allocating unit 126 determines that the scope C-R-3 that is the priority scope 1 is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 17 (Y in S182), Therefore, the scope CR-3 is assigned to the inspection E4 (S186). Thereby, the doctor D comes to use the scope CR-3 in the examination E4.

  As described above, when there are a plurality of priority scopes in the candidate scope, the scope assignment unit 126 assigns a priority scope having a higher priority to the examination. Note that if the priority scope is not included in the candidate scopes, that is, if any of the priority scope 1, the priority scope 2, and the priority scope 3 is not included (N in S182), the scope allocation unit 126 is other than the priority scope. Are identified (S184) and assigned to the examination (S186). In this way, if there is no assignable priority scope at the scheduled inspection start time, instead of waiting for the priority scope to become available, another scope is assigned to create an efficient inspection schedule. Is preferred. If there is no candidate scope, it is preferable to notify the user to that effect.

  FIG. 32 shows the inspection schedule updated by the inspection schedule management unit 110. Upon receiving the assignment result from the scope assignment unit 126, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers the assigned scope 30 in the corresponding examination. Here, the scope GR-3 is used for the inspection E1, the scope GR-1 is used for the inspection E2, the scope GR-5 is used for the inspection E3, and the inspection E4 is used. It is registered that the scope CR-3 is used. The inspection schedule management unit 110 records the updated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206.

  In the fourth embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 preferentially assigns the specific scope 30 as much as possible to the examination that the specific doctor is in charge of, so the scope 30 is frequently used by the doctor.

  The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the usage status of the scope 30 used in the actually performed endoscopy and records it in the history recording unit 232. Thereby, the history recording unit 232 records the usage history information of the scope 30 used in the actual endoscopy. The history recording unit 232 records the examination information used, the doctor used, the use date information, and the like in association with the scope 30.

  The history recording unit 232 also records a history related to the failure of the scope 30. For example, the failure history may include a doctor who was operating when the failure occurred, examination type information, and date / time information.

  The display processing unit 150 displays the usage history information of the plurality of scopes 30 recorded in the history recording unit 232 in a comparable format. At this time, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates a statistic based on the usage history information recorded in the history recording unit 232. Here, the statistic is the number of times of use, the usage time, and the like calculated for each doctor with respect to the scope 30, and the display content deriving unit 152 has a function of deriving a statistic corresponding to the content to be displayed. The display processing unit 150 displays the statistics calculated by the display content deriving unit 152.

  The period designation unit 154 designates the period of usage history information. This period is specified by the user inputting in an input frame provided on the screen of the terminal device 12. When the period designating unit 154 designates a period, the display content deriving unit 152 extracts the usage history information for that period from the history recording unit 232, calculates the statistics to be displayed, and the display processing unit 150 is designated. The usage history information for the selected period, that is, the statistic calculated by the display content deriving unit 152 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 12.

  FIG. 33 shows an example of usage history information displayed on the terminal device 12. When the user inputs a period from 2013/11/1 to 2014/10/30 as the display period, the period specifying unit 154 specifies this period, and the display content deriving unit 152 displays the usage history information of this period. Extracted from the history recording unit 232. Here, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates the usage count of the upper routine machine for each doctor, creates a usage count table, and the display processing unit 150 displays the display on the display of the terminal device 12. The display content deriving unit 152 may create a list of failure histories in this period and calculate the number of failures, and the display processing unit 150 may display the number of failures and the failure history together.

  With this use frequency table, the user can specify which scope has few failures and doctors who frequently use the scope. On the other hand, the user can specify a doctor who has many faults in the scope and frequently uses the scope. As described above, when the scope assigning unit 126 performs scope assignment processing so that a specific doctor preferentially uses a specific scope, history information on the actual use of the scope 30 is used when performing failure analysis or the like. Useful information. Further, the display processing unit 150 displays the usage history information of the plurality of scopes 30 in a comparable format, so that the user can recognize the difference in the usage state of the scope 30 at a glance.

  FIG. 34 shows an example of usage history information displayed on the terminal device 12. This use frequency graph is a graph representing the use frequency table shown in FIG. By expressing it in a graph format in this way, the difference in use state of the scope 30 can be understood at a glance.

  In FIGS. 33 and 34, the display processing unit 150 displays the scope usage count for each doctor for each scope 30 as usage history information. For example, the display processing unit 150 displays the scope usage time for each doctor as usage history information. Also good. Further, the display processing unit 150 may display the number of uses and the use time of the scope 30 used by the doctor for each doctor.

<Example 5>
In the fifth embodiment, when the scope 30 is scheduled, a process of assigning a cleaning job to the inspection preparation person is performed so that a certain scope 30 is cleaned by a specific inspection preparation person as much as possible. By setting the cleaning operation of the scope 30 and the inspection preparation person who cleans it as a set, for example, for the scope 30 that has maintained a good state for a long time, a person in charge with a high cleaning frequency is cleaning well. On the other hand, the scope 30 or the like that is prone to failure can also analyze that there is some problem in the cleaning process.

Returning to FIG. 3, the assigned person information holding unit 230 holds the priority person information related to the person who assigns the cleaning work with priority to the scope 30.
FIG. 35 shows a priority person table stored in the assigned person information holding unit 230. The priority person table stores priority person information for each scope 30 that defines the priority order of inspection preparation persons (hereinafter also referred to as “persons in charge”) to which cleaning operations are assigned. That is, the assignee information holding unit 230 holds the priority order of the assignee who assigns the cleaning work to one scope 30. In FIG. 35, “priority person in charge 1” is the person in charge with the first assignment priority, and “priority person in charge 2” is the person in charge with the second assignment priority.

  For example, in the scope G-R-1, the assignment priority order of the engineer A is set to the first, and the assignment priority order of the engineer B is set to the second. This priority person information is information that designates priority assignment when the priority person can be assigned to cleaning operations. It does not have to be assigned to a cleaning service. For example, when the inspection using the scope G-R-1 is completed and the engineer A and the engineer B are performing other tasks when cleaning the scope, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 An engineer (for example, engineer C) is assigned to the cleaning operation so that the cleaning operation is not delayed.

  In the fifth embodiment, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 is responsible for the scope cleaning work based on the priority person-in-charge information held in the person-in-charge person information holding unit 230 and the scope information managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Decide who.

  FIG. 36 shows a flowchart of person-in-charge assignment processing. 36 is added as a process between S118 and S120 in the washing machine assignment process shown in FIG. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, after the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine 50 to the used scope (S114), and sets the scheduled cleaning start time and scheduled cleaning end time (S118), the person-in-charge allocation unit 149 acquires the priority person information stored in the assigned person information holding unit 230 based on the scope 30 scheduled for cleaning (S200).

  Hereinafter, the scopes G-R-3, G-R-1, G-R-5, and C-R-3 are applied to the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 by the scope allocation process described in the fourth embodiment. An example in which is assigned will be described.

  FIG. 37 shows the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-3 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. The scope G-R-1 is cleaned by the second cleaning machine 50b, the scope G-R-5 is cleaned by the third cleaning machine 50c, the fourth between 9:15 and 9:35. It is registered that the scope CR-3 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50d.

  The cleaning schedule management unit 130 according to the fifth embodiment manages a cleaning schedule of a plurality of scopes including a cleaning person in charge of cleaning work, in addition to the cleaning machine 50, scheduled cleaning start time information, and scheduled cleaning end time information. . Hereinafter, a method for registering a person in charge of cleaning in the cleaning schedule will be described.

  The person-in-charge assignment unit 149 acquires priority person-in-charge information from the assignment person-in-charge information holding unit 230 for each scope 30 based on the scope information assigned to each of the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S200).

  Referring to the priority person table of FIG. 35, the priority person 1 of the scope GR-3 is the engineer B, the priority person 1 of the scope GR-R-1 is the engineer A, and the scope GR The priority person in charge of −5 is engineer C, and the person in charge of priority 1 in scope C-R-3 is engineer C.

  Regarding the scope G-R-3, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer B who is the priority person in charge 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope G-R-3 (S202). In the fifth embodiment, each engineer has a person-in-charge schedule, and the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the person-in-charge schedule has a vacancy in the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time. It is determined whether B can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope G-R-3. If there is no other work at the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time of the scope GR-3, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope GR-3 to the engineer B. It is determined that it is possible (Y in S202), and the cleaning work of the scope is assigned to the engineer B (S206). In the person-in-charge schedule, if any other work is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 performs the cleaning service of the scope GR-3 on the engineer B. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). If the assignment to the engineer C who is the priority person in charge 2 is not possible, the person-in-charge assignment unit 149 identifies a person in charge other than the person in charge of priority who has a vacancy at the time (S204). And assigned to the cleaning work (S206).

  Next, regarding the scope G-R-1, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer A who is the priority person in charge 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope G-R-1 (S202). The person-in-charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning job of the scope G-R-1 to the engineer B when the cleaning job of the scope G-R-1 can be allocated to the engineer A (Y in S202). ). In the person-in-charge schedule, if any other work is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 performs the cleaning service for the scope G-R-1 to the engineer A. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the assignment to the engineer B who is the priority person in charge 2 is not possible, the person-in-charge assignment unit 149 specifies a person in charge other than the priority person in charge and who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), Assigned to the cleaning work (S206).

  Next, regarding the scope G-R-5, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer C who is the priority person in charge 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope G-R-5 (S202). The person-in-charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning job of the scope G-R-5 to the engineer C when the cleaning job of the scope G-R-5 can be allocated to the engineer C (Y in S202) (S206). ). In the person-in-charge schedule, if any other work is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 performs the cleaning service for the scope G-R-5 to the engineer C. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the assignment to the engineer B who is the priority person in charge 2 is not possible, the person-in-charge assignment unit 149 specifies a person in charge other than the priority person in charge and who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), Assigned to the cleaning work (S206).

  Next, regarding the scope C-R-3, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer C who is the priority person in charge 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope C-R-3 (S202). The person-in-charge assigning unit 149 assigns the cleaning work of the scope C-R-3 to the engineer C when the cleaning work of the scope CR-R-3 can be assigned to the engineer C (Y in S202) (S206). ). In the person-in-charge schedule, if any other work is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 causes the engineer C to perform the scope C-R-3 cleaning work. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the assignment to the engineer B who is the priority person in charge 2 is not possible, the person-in-charge assignment unit 149 specifies a person in charge other than the priority person in charge and who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), Assigned to the cleaning work (S206).

  If both the priority person 1 and the priority person 2 can be assigned to a certain cleaning work, the person assigning unit 149 assigns a person with high priority to the cleaning work. The assigned person information is notified to the cleaning schedule management unit 130.

  FIG. 38 shows the cleaning schedule updated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. When the assignment result is notified from the person-in-charge assignment unit 149, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 registers the person in charge assigned to the corresponding cleaning process. Here, engineer B is in charge of cleaning work for Scope G-R-3, engineer A is in charge of cleaning work for Scope G-R-1, and engineer C is in charge of cleaning work for Scope G-R-5. That the engineer C is in charge of the cleaning operation of the scope C-R-3 is registered. As described above, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 adds the person in charge who performs the cleaning operation to the cleaning schedule, and records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  In the fifth embodiment, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 preferentially assigns the cleaning work for the specific scope 30 so that the specific examination preparation person is in charge as much as possible. Therefore, the person in charge performs the cleaning work for the scope 30. More opportunities.

  The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the actual cleaning processing status of the scope 30 and records it in the history recording unit 232. For example, each cleaning machine 50 is provided with reading means for reading the person in charge ID, and the person in charge reads the ID card or the like with the reading means so that the person in charge performing the cleaning work is specified. It has become. The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the cleaning processing status, and the history recording unit 232 records the cleaning history information of the cleaned scope 30. The history recording unit 232 records the date and time information of cleaning, the person in charge of cleaning, and the like in association with the scope 30.

  The history recording unit 232 also records a history related to the failure and maintenance of the scope 30. For example, the history may include the person in charge who worked at the time of failure or maintenance and date / time information.

  The display processing unit 150 displays the cleaning history information of the plurality of scopes 30 recorded in the history recording unit 232 in a comparable format. At this time, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates a statistic based on the cleaning history information recorded in the history recording unit 232. Here, the statistics are the number of times of cleaning, the cleaning time, and the like calculated for each person in charge with respect to the scope 30, and the display content deriving unit 152 has a function of deriving statistics according to the content to be displayed. The display processing unit 150 displays the statistics calculated by the display content deriving unit 152.

  The period designation unit 154 designates the period of the cleaning history information. This period is specified by the user inputting in an input frame provided on the screen of the terminal device 12. When the period designating unit 154 designates a period, the display content deriving unit 152 extracts the cleaning history information for that period from the history recording unit 232, calculates the statistics to be displayed, and the display processing unit 150 is designated. The cleaning history information for a given period, that is, the statistic calculated by the display content deriving unit 152 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 12.

  FIG. 39 shows an example of cleaning history information displayed on the terminal device 12. When the user inputs a period from 2013/11/1 to 2014/10/30 as the display period, the period specifying unit 154 specifies this period, and the display content deriving unit 152 displays the cleaning history information of this period. Extracted from the history recording unit 232. Here, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates the number of times of cleaning of the upper routine machine for each person in charge, creates a cleaning number table, and the display processing unit 150 displays on the display of the terminal device 12. The display content deriving unit 152 may create a list of failure histories in this period and calculate the number of failures, and the display processing unit 150 may display the number of failures and the failure history together.

  With this cleaning frequency table, the user can specify an engineer who has few faults in the scope and has a high cleaning frequency for the scope. On the other hand, the user can specify an engineer who has many faults in the scope and has a high cleaning frequency of the scope. In this way, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 preferentially assigns the cleaning work of the specific scope to the specific person in charge, so that the history information on the actual cleaning of the scope 30 is useful when performing failure analysis or the like. Information. Further, the display processing unit 150 displays the cleaning history information of the plurality of scopes 30 in a comparable format, so that the user can recognize the difference in the usage state of the scope 30 at a glance.

  FIG. 40 shows an example of the cleaning history information displayed on the terminal device 12. This cleaning frequency graph represents the cleaning frequency table shown in FIG. 39 in a graph format. By expressing it in a graph format in this way, the difference in use state of the scope 30 can be understood at a glance.

  39 and 40, the display processing unit 150 displays the scope cleaning frequency for each person in charge as to each scope 30 as the cleaning history information. For example, the scope cleaning time for each person in charge is displayed as the cleaning history information. May be. The display processing unit 150 may display the number of cleanings and the cleaning time of the scope 30 cleaned by the person in charge for each person in charge.

  In the above, the structure regarding the scheduling process of this invention was demonstrated based on embodiment and Examples 1-5.

In particular, Examples 4 and 5 record the scope use history and the scope cleaning history, respectively, and it is very significant to combine both the examples.

<Rescheduling process>
By the processes described in the embodiment and Examples 1 to 5, the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule are generated before the start of the daily endoscopic inspection work. In a medical facility, it is ideal that the inspection work proceeds according to the generated inspection schedule and cleaning schedule. However, in the field, the operation does not proceed according to the inspection schedule and / or the cleaning schedule due to various factors. is there.

  FIG. 41 shows an example of the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. The examination schedule shown in FIG. 41 is created by assigning a scope to each examination according to the scope ranking table by the scope assignment process described in connection with the first embodiment. In addition, the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. 41 is created by the cleaning machine assignment process described in the embodiment. In the rescheduling process described in Examples 6 to 8 below, the elements included in the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. 41 are the targets of the rescheduling process. This is an example, and is shown in FIG. Inspection schedules and cleaning schedules may be targeted. In any case, the rescheduling process assumes that an inspection schedule and a cleaning schedule are generated in advance. For convenience of explanation, cleaning numbers W1 to W41 are given in the cleaning schedule to specify the cleaning process.

In FIG. 41, it is assumed that the medical facility has five upper high-definition machines.
FIG. 42 shows an example of the owned scope master table 222. Compared with the possessing scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6, the medical facility is different in that it possesses five upper high-definition machines. That is, in the possessing scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 42, the possessing scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 differs from the upper scope high-quality device GH-4 and GH-5. 41, the scope GH-4 is assigned to the examination E36 and the scope GH-5 is assigned to the examination E37.

  FIG. 43 shows a configuration of the processing unit 100 having a function of executing rescheduling processing in the configuration of the information management apparatus 10. The processing unit 100 includes an inspection schedule management unit 110, a first allocation processing unit 120, a cleaning schedule management unit 130, a second allocation processing unit 140, a display processing unit 150, a status information acquisition unit 170, a reschedule processing unit 172, and cannot be changed. An examination specifying unit 174 and an input receiving unit 176 are provided. Although not shown in FIG. 43, the processing unit 100 includes a display content deriving unit 152, a period specifying unit 154, and a usage status monitoring unit 160 as shown in FIG. The unit 120 includes a test extraction unit 122, a scope specifying unit 124, a scope assigning unit 126, a scope assignability confirmation unit 128, and a doctor assigning unit 129.

  Each component of the processing unit 100 can be realized in hardware by a CPU, memory, or other LSI of an arbitrary computer, and is realized by a program loaded in the memory in terms of software. Describes functional blocks realized through collaboration. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

<Example 6>
In the sixth embodiment, a case where a trouble occurs in the cleaning process by the cleaning machine 50 and the cleaning schedule is delayed will be described.
For example, in the cleaning machine 50, after the cleaning is started, the chemical solution may be insufficient and an error may occur, and the cleaning process may be stopped halfway. In addition, the cleaning process may be forcibly terminated halfway when the person in charge of the cleaning presses the stop button of the cleaning machine 50 due to the generation of a strange odor during the cleaning. In such a case, the person in charge of cleaning restarts the scope cleaning process after replenishing the cleaning machine 50 with a chemical solution or replacing the filter to make the cleaning machine 50 usable. Therefore, the cleaning process is delayed from the schedule, and the processing unit 100 needs to reconfigure the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule.

  The status information acquisition unit 170 acquires status information regarding the status of the cleaning machine 50. The status information acquisition unit 170 includes a communication unit that communicates with the cleaning machine 50 and may have a function of acquiring information transmitted from the cleaning machine 50. The cleaning machine 50 is provided with means for reading the scope ID of the scope 30 to be cleaned, and the person in charge of the cleaning causes the reading means to read the scope ID of the scope 30 before starting the cleaning. When the cleaning start button is operated, the cleaning machine 50 transmits the cleaning start notification information to the information management apparatus 10 via the network 2 together with the scope ID and information for identifying the cleaning machine 50 (cleaning machine ID). When the cleaning is completed, the cleaning machine 50 transmits cleaning completion notification information to the information management apparatus 10 via the network 2 together with the scope ID and the cleaning machine ID. The status information acquisition unit 170 monitors information transmitted from the cleaning machine 50, and acquires cleaning start notification information and cleaning end notification information as status information indicating the usage status of the cleaning machine 50. The status information acquisition unit 170 provides the acquired status information together with the acquired time information to the reschedule processing unit 172 immediately (in real time), and the reschedule processing unit 172 provides the status information together with the time information to the cleaning schedule management unit. 130 is notified. The status information acquisition unit 170 may periodically provide the acquired status information together with the acquired time information to the reschedule processing unit 172.

  When the reschedule processing unit 172 receives the cleaning start notification information and the cleaning start notification information at the time scheduled in the cleaning schedule, the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule need not be changed. On the other hand, when the reschedule processing unit 172 receives the cleaning start notification information or the cleaning start notification information at a time different from the time scheduled in the cleaning schedule, it is necessary to change the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule. judge.

  The cleaning start notification information and the cleaning end notification information are input by the user and received together with the time information by the input receiving unit 176, and the input receiving unit 176 uses the cleaning start notification information and the cleaning end notification information as status information as status information. You may deliver to the acquisition part 170. FIG. The status information acquisition unit 170 may have a function of communicating with a terminal device other than the cleaning machine 50, and may acquire cleaning start notification information and cleaning end notification information from the terminal device. The status information acquisition unit 170 may acquire status information indicating the usage status of the cleaning machine 50 by some means. However, in order to execute an efficient rescheduling process, the status information acquisition unit 170 acquires and acquires the status information in real time. It is preferable to provide the reschedule processing unit 172 together with the time information.

  The reschedule processing unit 172 determines whether or not the elements included in the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 41 need to be changed based on the situation information. For example, when the time when the status information acquisition unit 170 acquires the cleaning start notification information or the cleaning end notification information exceeds the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time of the cleaning process by a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) or more, The reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule needs to be changed.

  When the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule needs to be changed based on the situation information, the rescheduling processing unit 172 performs cleaning for at least one of the cleaning schedule management unit 130 or the inspection schedule management unit 110. Instruct to change the elements included in the schedule and / or inspection schedule. Here, the elements included in the examination schedule are the examination specified by the examination ID, the examination room assigned to the examination, the examination scheduled start time information, the examination end scheduled time information, the doctor in charge, and the scope 30. The elements included in the cleaning schedule are a cleaning machine assigned to the scope 30, scheduled cleaning start time information, and scheduled cleaning end time information. As shown in the fifth embodiment (FIG. 38), when a person in charge is assigned to the cleaning process in the cleaning schedule, the person in charge information is also included in the elements included in the cleaning schedule.

Hereinafter, specific rescheduling processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 46.
FIG. 44 shows an example in which a trouble has occurred in the cleaning process and was stopped halfway. The scheduled cleaning start time of the cleaning W16 of the scope G-R-5 is 10:15 and the scheduled cleaning end time is 10:35. Although the cleaning W16 is started at the scheduled time, the cleaning process is stopped halfway. Yes. During the cleaning process of the cleaning W16, for example, when the fourth cleaning machine 50d is automatically forcibly stopped due to a shortage of chemicals, the fourth cleaning machine 50d receives the cleaning end notification information indicating that the forced stop has been performed, the scope ID and the cleaning The information is transmitted to the information management apparatus 10 together with the machine ID. When acquiring the cleaning end notification information at 10:22, the status information acquisition unit 170 immediately notifies the reschedule processing unit 172 that the cleaning end notification information of the cleaning W16 has been acquired at 10:22.

  The reschedule processing unit 172 receives the notification from the status information acquisition unit 170 and detects that the cleaning W16 has not been performed to the end. At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 performs the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule. It is possible to determine that the change is necessary. The re-schedule processing unit 172 may notify the determination result to the cleaning schedule management unit 130, but may wait for the notification until the start time of re-cleaning of the scope G-R-5 is determined.

  The person in charge of cleaning solves the trouble caused by the fourth cleaning machine 50d and restarts the cleaning W16 of the scope G-R-5. For example, if the cause is a shortage of chemical solution, the person in charge of cleaning restores the fourth washing machine 50d to a usable state by replenishing the chemical solution. Here, it is assumed that the person in charge of cleaning restarts the cleaning W16 at 10:30.

  When the cleaning start button is operated at 10:30, the fourth cleaning machine 50d transmits cleaning start notification information to the information management apparatus 10 together with the scope ID and the cleaning machine ID. When acquiring the cleaning start notification information, the status information acquisition unit 170 immediately notifies the reschedule processing unit 172 that the cleaning start notification information of the cleaning W16 has been acquired at 10:30.

  The reschedule processing unit 172 receives the notification from the status information acquisition unit 170, detects that the cleaning W16 has been resumed at 10:30, and determines that the cleaning schedule and / or inspection schedule needs to be changed. . When determining that the schedule needs to be changed, the reschedule processing unit 172 instructs the cleaning schedule management unit 130 or the inspection schedule management unit 110 to change the elements included in the schedule. In the sixth embodiment, the reschedule processing unit 172 instructs the cleaning schedule management unit 130 to change elements included in the cleaning schedule, and the cleaning schedule management unit 130 uses the scheduled cleaning start time as an element of the cleaning schedule. The process of moving the cleaning time frame specified by the information and the scheduled cleaning end time information is performed.

  At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 specifies the scheduled end time information of the cleaning W16 as an element to be changed among the elements included in the cleaning schedule, and instructs the cleaning schedule management unit 130 to change the specified element. May be. As described above, the reschedule processing unit 172 may specify an element to be changed based on the situation information, but the cleaning schedule management unit 130 is notified of the start time of the cleaning W16 from the rescheduling processing unit 172. Thus, the element to be changed may be specified.

  Based on the schedule element change instruction provided from the reschedule processing unit 172, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 specifies a cleaning room in which the cleaning schedule needs to be changed, and the scheduled start time of the cleaning process in the specified cleaning room Change information and scheduled end time information. Specifically, the schedule element change instruction includes the start time of the cleaning W16. Upon receiving the change instruction, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 identifies the fourth cleaning machine 50d that performs the cleaning W16, and The cleaning start scheduled time information and the cleaning end scheduled time information of the cleaning W16 and the cleanings W20, W24, W28, W32, W36, and W40 scheduled after the cleaning W16 in the 4 cleaning machine 50d are reset.

FIG. 45 shows a state in which the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time for cleanings W16, W20, W24, W28, W32, W36, and W40 are delayed by 15 minutes.
When the cleaning process after cleaning W16 in the fourth cleaning machine 50d is delayed, there is a possibility that the inspection to which the cleaned scope 30 is assigned is affected. Therefore, in Example 6, paying attention to the inspection time frame, the inspection schedule management unit 110 is first assigned to the inspection time frame having the scheduled start time after the scheduled end time (10:35) of the cleaning W16 before the change. It is investigated whether or not there is a contradiction in the scope 30. Here, the case where the contradiction occurs is a case where the scope 30 before the end of cleaning is assigned to the inspection.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 45, the inspection schedule management unit 110 is assigned to the inspection before the cleaning is finished as a result of delaying the cleaning process after the cleaning W16 in the fourth cleaning machine 50d by 15 minutes. It is investigated whether or not the scope 30 exists. Here, the examination schedule management unit 110 includes the scope G-R-5 of the examination E26, the scope G-R-1 of the examination E30, the scope G-R-3 of the examination E35, and the third examination room 20c in the first examination room 20a. It is specified that the scope G-R-6 of the inspection E40 is scheduled to start use before the scheduled cleaning end time.

Therefore, the inspection schedule management unit 110 performs a process of changing the inspection time frame so that the scheduled use start time of each scope is after the scheduled cleaning end time.
FIG. 46 shows a state where the inspection time frame is reset. In this way, by resetting the inspection start scheduled time information and the inspection end scheduled time information of the inspections E26, E30, E35, and E40, the scheduled start time of each inspection becomes after the scheduled cleaning end time of the use scope. ing.

  Next, the examination schedule management unit 110 investigates whether or not there is a contradiction in the examination doctor in the changed examination schedule. Here, a case where a contradiction occurs is a case where one doctor is assigned to a plurality of examinations at the same time.

  In the examination schedule shown in FIG. 46, there is no contradiction among doctors in charge. Therefore, the inspection schedule management unit 110 temporarily sets this inspection schedule. When the doctor in charge is assigned to multiple examinations, the examination schedule management unit 110 reschedules the examination schedule so as to resolve the contradiction by changing the examination with a later start time later in time. To do.

  Subsequently, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 investigates whether or not there is a contradiction between the temporarily set inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule. Here, the case where a contradiction occurs is a case where cleaning of the scope used in the inspection is started before the scheduled end time of the inspection because the inspection is changed later in the inspection schedule.

  In the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. 46, there is no cleaning process in which cleaning of the scope used in the inspection is started before the scheduled end time of the inspection. Therefore, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 registers the cleaning schedule, and the inspection schedule management unit 110 also registers the temporarily set inspection schedule. Here, registration means that the inspection schedule elements are determined and recorded in the inspection schedule holding unit 206, and the cleaning schedule elements are determined and recorded in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208. This completes the rescheduling process.

  If there is a contradiction in the cleaning schedule and the cleaning schedule management unit 130 changes the cleaning schedule, whether the inspection schedule is affected by this change, that is, whether there is a contradiction in the inspection schedule. The inspection schedule management unit 110 investigates this. Thus, when there is a contradiction in the inspection schedule, the inspection schedule management unit 110 adjusts, and when there is a contradiction in the cleaning schedule, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 adjusts, and this is repeated. When the cleaning schedule becomes consistent with the adjusted inspection schedule, the schedule element is determined and the rescheduling process is completed.

  As described above, the processing unit 100 executes the rescheduling process of the cleaning schedule and the inspection schedule according to the usage state of the cleaning machine 50. In the sixth embodiment, the case where the cleaning process is once stopped and then restarted has been described. However, even when the actual cleaning start time or the cleaning end time is earlier or later than planned, the cleaning process of the sixth embodiment is performed. Rescheduling processing can be applied. Further, since the unscheduled scope is used in the inspection, the rescheduling process of the sixth embodiment can be applied even when the unscheduled scope is interrupted and cleaned or the scheduled cleaning process is canceled.

  Further, in the sixth embodiment, the case where a trouble occurs in the cleaning process is shown, but the rescheduling process of the sixth embodiment can be applied even when the cleaning machine 50 breaks down and cannot be used thereafter.

  As described above, according to the rescheduling process of the sixth embodiment, it is possible to appropriately reconfigure the cleaning schedule and the inspection schedule even when the cleaning machine 50 shows an unscheduled usage state.

  In the following Examples 7 and 8, a case will be described in which a doctor in charge assigned to a test cannot perform the test due to an unexpected reason. If it is known that, for example, the doctor C cannot perform all the tests on the day before the start of the test work for the day, the doctor assigning unit 129 in the first assignment processing unit 120 performs the examination in each laboratory 20. On the other hand, doctors other than the doctor C may be assigned and the examination schedule may be reconfigured. However, if the doctor in charge assigned to the examination becomes unable to carry out the examination due to unscheduled circumstances after the start of the examination work for one day, the processing unit 100 performs the rescheduling process at that time. A separate physician needs to be assigned to each test.

  There are individual differences in doctor skills. In general, veteran doctors have high skills and can cope with various types of examinations, but young doctors who are inexperienced tend to have limited examination types that can be performed. Therefore, when the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors to examinations, it is desirable to compare and consider examination types and doctor skills. Simply put, it is necessary to assign a veteran doctor (skilled doctor), not a young doctor, to a highly difficult examination.

From such a viewpoint, the storage unit 200 illustrated in FIG. 3 may further include a doctor skill table that records examination types that can be handled by the doctor.
FIG. 47 shows an example of a doctor skill table. The doctor skill table is stored in the storage unit 200, and is referred to when the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to the examination.

  The doctor skill table records the relationship between the doctor and the examination type that the doctor can handle. The doctor skill table is updated according to the skill level of the doctor, that is, if the doctor gains experience and skills improve, the types of examinations that can be handled increase. In this example, doctors A to C are veteran doctors, and all examinations of examination type numbers 1 to 15 can be performed independently. Doctor E is a young doctor who can perform examinations of examination type numbers 1, 2, and 4 independently, and can carry out examinations of examination type numbers 3, 8 and 10 under the guidance of an instructor. However, the inspection of other inspection type numbers is not permitted due to inexperience. Physician D is a mid-career doctor between young and veteran, and there are some tests that can be handled more than young doctors, but there are some tests that are not yet allowed to be performed.

FIG. 48 shows a configuration of the doctor assigning unit 129. The doctor assigning unit 129 includes a skill table reference unit 180, an assignable doctor specifying unit 182, and a doctor assigning execution unit 184. The skill table reference unit 180 refers to the doctor skill corresponding to the examination type from the doctor skill table stored in the storage unit 200 and notifies the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 of doctors who can perform the examination. The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 has a function of specifying doctors that can be assigned to the examination from among the notified doctors. The doctor assignment execution unit 184 determines a doctor to be assigned to the examination from among the doctors specified by the assignable doctor specifying unit 182. In the following, in Examples 7 and 8, the rescheduling process will be described in the case where the doctor C is suddenly engaged after the start of the examination work and cannot take charge of the examination in that time zone.
In Examples 7 and 8, it is assumed that the doctor C cannot perform the examination between 10:25 and 11:00.

<Example 7>
An input interface such as a keyboard or a mouse is connected to the terminal device 12, and the input receiving unit 176 receives an input operation from the user via the terminal device 12. When a user such as a doctor C or a nurse inputs a time period during which the doctor C cannot perform an examination from the input interface, the input reception unit 176 sets the doctor C's non-examination time period (10:25 to 11:00). The information is received and provided to the status information acquisition unit 170. The situation information acquisition unit 170 acquires the doctor C's untestable time zone as situation information indicating the doctor's situation, and provides it to the reschedule processing unit 172.

  The reschedule processing unit 172 determines whether or not the elements included in the inspection schedule and / or the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. 41 need to be changed based on the situation information. Specifically, when the reschedule processing unit 172 receives the doctor C's non-testable time zone (10:25 to 11:00) as the status information, the reschedule processing unit 172 reads the test schedule information from the test schedule holding unit 206 to check the non-testable time zone. Whether or not the examination to which the doctor C is assigned is included.

  Referring to the examination schedule in FIG. 41, examinations performed by doctor C between 10:25 and 11:00 include examination E22 (10:25 to 10:35) and examination E27 (10:45 to 11). : 10) exists. Therefore, the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the inspection schedule and / or the cleaning schedule needs to be changed. At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that at least the inspection schedule needs to be changed.

  When the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule needs to be changed based on the situation information, the reschedule processing unit 172 performs an inspection on at least one of the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Instruct the change of elements included in the schedule and / or cleaning schedule. Here, the elements included in the examination schedule are the examination specified by the examination ID, the examination room assigned to the examination, the examination scheduled start time information, the examination end scheduled time information, the doctor in charge, and the scope 30. The elements included in the cleaning schedule are a cleaning machine assigned to the scope 30, scheduled cleaning start time information, and scheduled cleaning end time information. As shown in the fifth embodiment (FIG. 38), when a person in charge is assigned to the cleaning process in the cleaning schedule, the person in charge information is also included in the elements included in the cleaning schedule.

  Here, the reschedule processing unit 172 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 that the doctor C cannot take charge of the examinations E22 and E27, and instructs the examination schedule element to be changed. At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 also notifies the doctor C's inoperable time zone. Accordingly, the examination schedule management unit 110 deletes the doctor C in charge assigned to the examinations E22 and E27, and instructs the doctor assignment part 129 to assign another doctor other than the doctor C to the examinations E22 and E27. To do.

FIG. 49 shows a state in which the doctor C assigned to the examinations E22 and E27 is deleted.
The doctor assigning unit 129 executes processing for assigning doctors that are not assigned to the examinations E22 and E27. Note that changing a schedule element may affect subsequent schedule elements. For this reason, the doctor assigning unit 129 executes the doctor assigning process for the examination E22 scheduled earlier among the examinations E22 and E27, and then executes the doctor assigning process for the examination E27.

  In the doctor assignment unit 129 shown in FIG. 48, the skill table reference unit 180 refers to a record of the type (upper routine) of the examination E22 in the doctor skill table and can assign a doctor who can perform the examination E22. To inform. In this record, doctors A, B, C, D, and E are recorded as doctors capable of performing the upper routine examination alone. Therefore, the skill table reference unit 180 performs examination E22 by all of the doctors A to E. The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 is notified of what can be done.

  The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 excludes the doctor C from the notified doctors according to the instruction from the examination schedule management unit 110. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies doctors A, B, D, and E as assignable doctors and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctors.

  In the seventh embodiment, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 assigns doctors to the examination so that the examination start time is as scheduled or has a minimum delay. For the examination E22, doctors A, B, D, and E are specified as assignable doctors, and the doctor assignment execution unit 184 derives a scheduled start time when each assignable doctor is assigned to the examination E22. The doctor who has the earliest derived scheduled start time is determined. It is assumed that the doctor can be in charge of the next test after 5 minutes from the end of the previous test.

When the doctor A is assigned to the examination E22, the doctor A can start the examination from the scheduled start time (10:25) of the examination E22 because the scheduled end time of the previous examination E19 of the doctor A is 10:20.
When the doctor B is assigned to the examination E22, since the scheduled end time of the previous examination E20 of the doctor B is 10:30, the doctor B performs the examination with a delay of 10 minutes from the scheduled start time (10:25) of the examination E22. You can start.
When the doctor D is assigned to the examination E22, since the scheduled end time of the previous examination E23 of the doctor D is 10:40, the doctor D performs the examination with a delay of 20 minutes from the scheduled start time (10:25) of the examination E22. You can start.
When the doctor E is assigned to the examination E22, since the scheduled end time of the previous examination E21 of the doctor E is 10:30, the doctor E performs the examination with a delay of 10 minutes from the scheduled start time (10:25) of the examination E22. You can start.

  As a result of the above verification, when the doctor A is assigned to the examination E22, it is determined that the examination E22 can be started as scheduled without delay. Therefore, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 assigns doctor A to the examination E22.

FIG. 50 shows a state where doctor A is assigned to examination E22.
After the doctor assignment execution unit 184 assigns the doctor A to the examination E22, the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns the doctor A to the examination E22, so that there is a contradiction between examination schedules between laboratories. To investigate the. Here, the case where a contradiction occurs is a case where the same doctor is assigned to a plurality of examinations that overlap in time in terms of doctor information. In other words, the scope 30 before the end of cleaning is assigned to the inspection.

  In the seventh embodiment, when the same doctor is assigned to a plurality of examinations overlapping in time and one scope 30 is assigned to a plurality of examinations overlapping in time, the examination schedule management unit 110 re-schedules the inspection schedule to resolve the contradiction by adjusting the inspection with a later scheduled start time to shift backward. When the scope 30 before the end of cleaning is assigned to the inspection, the inspection schedule management unit 110 adjusts the inspection so that the start time is after the cleaning end scheduled time of the scope 30 to eliminate the contradiction. Reschedule the inspection schedule as follows.

  The cleaning schedule management unit 130 investigates whether or not there is a contradiction between the changed inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule. Here, the case where a contradiction occurs is a case where the scope 30 before the end of the inspection is assigned to cleaning in the cleaning schedule.

  In the cleaning schedule, when the scope 30 before the end of the inspection is assigned to the cleaning, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 adjusts the cleaning process backward so that the scheduled start time of the cleaning is after the scheduled end time of the inspection. Reschedule the cleaning schedule to eliminate.

  The inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule management unit 130 can adjust the schedule so that the schedule is alternately shifted backward so as to eliminate the contradiction, respectively, so that the schedule can be finally reset without any contradiction. become.

  Here, as a result of assigning the doctor A to the examination E22, the examination schedule management unit 110 confirms that there is no contradiction in the examination schedule, and the washing schedule management unit 130 confirms that there is no contradiction in the washing schedule. . Thereby, the assignment of the doctor A to the examination E22 is confirmed.

  Next, the skill table reference unit 180 refers to the record of the type (lower scrutiny) of the examination E27 in the doctor skill table, and notifies the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 of doctors who can perform the examination E27. In this record, doctors A, B, and C are recorded as doctors who can independently perform the lower inspection, and therefore the skill table reference unit 180 can assign that doctors A, B, and C can perform examination E27. The doctor specifying unit 182 is notified.

  The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 excludes the doctor C from the notified doctors according to the instruction from the examination schedule management unit 110. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies doctors A and B as assignable doctors and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctors.

  The doctor assignment execution unit 184 derives a scheduled start time when each assignable doctor is assigned to the examination E27, and determines a doctor with the earliest derived start time. It is assumed that the doctor can take charge of the next test after 5 minutes have elapsed since the end of the previous test.

When the doctor A is assigned to the examination E27, since the scheduled end time of the previous examination E26 of the doctor A is 10:50, the doctor A performs the examination with a delay of 10 minutes from the scheduled start time (10:45) of the examination E27. You can start.
When the doctor B is assigned to the examination E27, since the scheduled end time of the previous examination E25 of the doctor B is 10:45, the doctor B conducts the examination with a delay of 5 minutes from the scheduled start time (10:45) of the examination E27. You can start.

  As a result of the above verification, when the doctor B is assigned to the examination E27, it is determined that the examination E27 can be started with a minimum delay time. Therefore, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 assigns the doctor B to the examination E27.

FIG. 51 shows a state in which doctor B is assigned to examination E27.
After the doctor assignment execution unit 184 assigns the doctor B to the examination E27, the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns the doctor B to the examination E27, so that there is a contradiction between examination schedules between laboratories. To investigate the. When the same doctor is assigned to a plurality of examinations overlapping in time and one scope 30 is assigned to a plurality of examinations overlapping in time, the examination schedule management unit 110 is scheduled to start Change the inspection that is later in time to shift backward in time, and reschedule the inspection schedule to resolve the conflict. When the scope 30 before the end of cleaning is assigned to the inspection, the inspection schedule management unit 110 adjusts the inspection so that the start time is after the cleaning end scheduled time of the scope 30 to eliminate the contradiction. Reschedule the inspection schedule as follows.

  Here, the doctor B assigned to the examination E27 is a doctor in charge of the examinations E29 and E31 whose examination scheduled times overlap, and the examination schedule management unit 110 determines that there is a contradiction in the examination schedule. To do. Therefore, the inspection schedule management unit 110 changes the time frames of the inspection after the inspection B31 in the second inspection room 20b and the inspection after the inspection E29 in the third inspection room 20c so as to shift backward until the contradiction is resolved.

  Next, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 investigates whether or not there is a contradiction between the changed inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule. In the cleaning schedule, when the scope 30 before the end of the inspection is assigned to the cleaning, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 adjusts the time of the cleaning process so that the scheduled start time of the cleaning is after the scheduled end time of the inspection. Reschedule the cleaning schedule to eliminate.

  The inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule management unit 130 adjust and re-schedule the schedules alternately so as to eliminate contradictions, respectively, so that a schedule without contradiction can be finally reset. Specifically, the inspection schedule and cleaning schedule are confirmed when it is determined that there is no contradiction between the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule for one of the inspection schedule or the cleaning schedule that has been changed to be consistent. Is done.

  FIG. 52 shows the result of rescheduling the inspection schedule and cleaning schedule. In the seventh embodiment, rescheduling is performed so as not to change the examination order in the examination room, the assigned scope 30, and the doctors other than the examinations E22 and E27. Doctors and the like often check schedule information before the start of a day's examination work and keep in mind what kind of examination is performed in which laboratory at which time. Therefore, as in the seventh embodiment, maintaining schedule information that is set in advance as much as possible before the start of work is significant in terms of work efficiency.

<Example 8>
In the seventh embodiment, the example in which the doctor assigning unit 129 reassigns the doctors to the examinations E22 and E27 in which the doctor assignment is canceled for the convenience of the doctor C has been described. As a result, the schedule information before the start of work is substantially maintained, but as shown in FIG. 52, there is a slight delay in the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule. Therefore, in the eighth embodiment, a rescheduling process that eliminates the schedule delay or reduces it as much as possible will be described.

  As in the seventh embodiment, the input receiving unit 176 receives an input operation from the user via the terminal device 12. When a user such as a doctor C or a nurse inputs a time zone during which the doctor C cannot take charge from the input interface, the input reception unit 176 sets the time period during which the doctor C cannot check (10:25 to 11:00). The information is received and provided to the status information acquisition unit 170. The situation information acquisition unit 170 acquires the doctor C's untestable time zone as situation information indicating the doctor's situation, and provides it to the reschedule processing unit 172.

  The reschedule processing unit 172 determines whether or not the elements included in the inspection schedule and / or the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. 41 need to be changed based on the situation information. Specifically, when the reschedule processing unit 172 receives the doctor C's non-testable time zone (10:25 to 11:00) as the status information, the reschedule processing unit 172 reads the test schedule information from the test schedule holding unit 206 to check the non-testable time zone. It is determined whether there is an examination that doctor C is in charge of.

  Referring to the examination schedule of FIG. 41, examinations performed by doctor C between 10:25 and 11:00 include examination E22 (10:25 to 10:30) and examination E27 (10:45 to 11). : 10) exists. Therefore, the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the inspection schedule and / or the cleaning schedule needs to be changed.

  When the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the cleaning schedule and / or the inspection schedule needs to be changed based on the situation information, the reschedule processing unit 172 performs an inspection on at least one of the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Instruct the change of elements included in the schedule and / or cleaning schedule. Here, the reschedule processing unit 172 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 that the doctor C cannot take charge of the examinations E22 and E27, and instructs the examination schedule element to be changed. At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 also notifies the doctor C's inoperable time zone. In the eighth embodiment, the examination schedule management unit 110 extracts examinations of all laboratories whose examination start scheduled times are included in the examination impossible time zone, and deletes the scope information assigned to the examinations from the extracted examinations.

  FIG. 53 shows the relationship between the examination schedule and the non-examination time zone of doctor C. In FIG. 53, the doctor C's non-testable time zone is surrounded by a thick black frame line. The inspection schedule management unit 110 extracts the inspections of all the inspection rooms scheduled to start the inspection during the non-inspection time zone.

  FIG. 54 shows a state in which the scope information assigned to the examination is deleted. The examination schedule management unit 110 extracts examinations E22 to E30 as examinations in which the scheduled examination start time is included in the examination impossible time zone of the doctor C, and deletes the assigned scope information. After deleting the scope information, the examination schedule management unit 110 instructs the doctor assignment unit 129 to assign a doctor different from the doctor C to the examinations E22 to E30.

  FIG. 55 shows another example of the doctor skill table. The doctor skill table records information indicating whether or not a doctor can cope with an examination type and a priority order indicating doctors to be preferentially assigned. Here, “priority 1” is a doctor who should be assigned the most priority, “priority 2” is a doctor who should be assigned second priority, and “priority 3” is priority third. The doctor to be assigned.

  The priority order is determined according to the skill of the doctor who can handle the examination type. For example, the upper routine examination can be handled by all doctors A to E, but it is an examination that requires relatively little skill, so it is preferable to have a doctor who is as inexperienced as possible in charge. Therefore, for the upper routine examination, doctors D and E are set to “priority 1”, and doctors A to C are set to priority “2”.

  In addition, doctors A to C can respond to the lower examination, and doctors D and E cannot respond, so doctors A to C are set to “priority 1”, and ranks after priority 2 are not set. . Thus, it can be said that the examination type with a high degree of difficulty has a smaller number of doctors that can be handled than the examination type with a low degree of difficulty.

  Returning to FIG. 54, the doctor assigning unit 129 executes a process of assigning doctors that are not assigned to the examinations E22 to E30. In the eighth embodiment, the doctor assigning unit 129 executes the doctor reassignment process based on the assignment priority order of the doctor skill table shown in FIG. In this reassignment process, doctors are assigned to examinations with high difficulty first. This is because examinations with high difficulty have few doctors that can be assigned. The level of difficulty of the examination is determined by the number of doctors that can be handled. Therefore, among examinations E22 to E30, the examination of the lower part of examination E27 is the most difficult, the lower routine examination of examination E23, and examinations E22 and E24 to E26. , E28 to E30 have a lower difficulty level than the inspection E27, and these are the same. In this way, the difficulty level of the examination may be determined by the number of doctors that can be handled, but a table in which the difficulty level of the examination type is determined in advance and the level of difficulty is determined by referring to the table. Good.

  In the eighth embodiment, the doctor E is assigned first in the examination E27, and the rest is in the order of the scheduled examination start time.

First, the doctor assigning unit 129 performs determination processing of doctors assigned to the examination E27.
In the doctor assignment unit 129 shown in FIG. 48, the skill table reference unit 180 assigns the doctors A to C set with priority 1 by referring to the priority order of the type (lower scrutiny) of the examination E27 in the doctor skill table. The possible doctor identification unit 182 is notified. The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 excludes the doctor C from the notified doctors A to C according to the instruction from the examination schedule management unit 110. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies doctors A and B as assignable doctors and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctors.

  The doctor assignment execution unit 184 is scheduled to start before the scheduled end time of the examination E27 and the examination doctor scheduled to end after the scheduled start time of the examination E27 in the examination room different from the examination E27. The doctor assigned to the examination E27 is determined so as not to overlap with the doctor of the existing examination. Of the assignable doctors A and B, the doctor A is not assigned to the examination that overlaps in time, while the doctor B is assigned to the examination E31. Therefore, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 performs the examination E27. To doctor A.

Next, the doctor assigning unit 129 performs determination processing of doctors to be assigned to the examination E22.
The skill table reference unit 180 refers to the priority of the type (upper routine) of the examination E22 in the doctor skill table, and notifies the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 of the doctors D and E for which priority 1 is set. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies doctors D and E as assignable doctors and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctors.

  The doctor assignment execution unit 184 is scheduled to start before the scheduled end time of the examination E22 and the examination doctor scheduled to end after the scheduled start time of the examination E22 in an examination room different from the examination E22. The doctor assigned to the examination E22 is determined so as not to overlap with the doctor of the existing examination. Of the assignable doctors D and E, the doctor D is not assigned to the examination that overlaps in time, while the doctor E is assigned to the examination E21. Therefore, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 performs the examination E22. To the doctor D.

Next, the doctor assigning unit 129 performs determination processing of doctors assigned to the examination E23.
The skill table reference unit 180 refers to the priority order of the type (lower routine) of the examination E23 in the doctor skill table, and notifies the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 of the doctor D for which priority 1 is set. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies the doctor D as an assignable doctor and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctor.

  The doctor assignment execution unit 184 is scheduled to start before the scheduled end time of the examination E23 and the examination doctor scheduled to end after the scheduled start time of the examination E23 in the examination room different from the examination E23. The doctor assigned to the examination E23 is determined so as not to overlap with the doctor of the existing examination. Here, since the doctor D is assigned to the examination E22, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 determines that the doctor D cannot be assigned to the examination E22.

  In response to the determination result, the skill table reference unit 180 refers to the priority of the type (lower routine) of the examination E23 in the doctor skill table, and can assign the doctors A to C to which priority 2 is set. Notification to the unit 182. The assignable doctor specifying unit 182 excludes the doctor C from the notified doctors A to C according to the instruction from the examination schedule management unit 110. Accordingly, the assignable doctor specifying unit 182 specifies doctors A and B as assignable doctors and notifies the doctor assigning execution unit 184 of the doctors.

  The doctor assignment execution unit 184 is scheduled to start before the scheduled end time of the examination E23 and the examination doctor scheduled to end after the scheduled start time of the examination E23 in the examination room different from the examination E23. The doctor assigned to the examination E23 is determined so as not to overlap with the doctor of the existing examination. Of the assignable doctors A and B, the doctor A is not assigned to the examination that overlaps in time, while the doctor B is assigned to the examination E20. Therefore, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 performs the examination E23. To doctor A.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 performs the above processing for the remaining examinations E24 to E26 and E28 to E30. Thereby, doctors excluding the doctor C are reassigned to the examinations E22 to E30. If the doctor assignment execution unit 184 does not assign doctors so that they do not overlap in time, the doctor assignment execution unit 184 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 to that effect, and the examination schedule management unit 110 sets the examination time frame. Adjust the inspection schedule by adjusting it to shift backward in time.

FIG. 56 shows the result of the doctor rescheduling process.
In this rescheduling result, doctor A is assigned to examinations E27 and E33 that are temporally continuous, and doctor D is also assigned to examinations E30 and E32 that are temporally continuous. If the doctor is in charge of the next test 5 minutes after the end of the previous test, change each time frame so that the tests E33 and E32 are moved back by 5 minutes each. May be.

  In the seventh and eighth embodiments, the case where the doctor C is assigned to the examination when the convenience of the doctor C becomes worse after the start of the examination work has been described. However, the convenience of the cleaning staff explained in connection with the fifth embodiment is described. The rescheduling process of the seventh and eighth embodiments can be applied even when the problem becomes worse.

  The rescheduling process of the present invention has been described based on the sixth to eighth embodiments. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the combination of each component and each processing process, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. .

  For example, in the embodiments and examples, the doctor assigning unit 129 for assigning doctors to the examination and the person in charge assigning unit 149 for assigning the person in charge of the cleaning work have been described. For example, the information management apparatus 10 may further include an auxiliary work performer assigning unit that assigns an auxiliary work performer for assisting the inspection to the inspection.

  There are also inspections in which the assigned elements cannot be changed in the inspection schedule. For example, if there is a circumstance that can be inspected only for a certain period of time due to the circumstances of the patient or doctor, the scheduled start time of the inspection cannot be moved. In addition, if a test requires special skills, only a doctor having that skill can be in charge of the test, so at least the doctor in charge of the test cannot be changed. Even if the scope 30 is the same type, there are various types from the latest type to the old type. For example, only the latest type scope 30 may be used for special inspection.

  Therefore, in the modified example, the non-changeable examination specifying unit 174 specifies an endoscopic examination that cannot change at least one element among a plurality of elements assigned in advance to the endoscopic examination in the examination schedule. To do. An input interface such as a keyboard or a mouse is connected to the terminal device 12, and the input receiving unit 176 receives an input operation from the user via the terminal device 12. For example, when the inspection schedule is generated, if the user specifies an inspection that cannot change the element, the input receiving unit 176 receives the specifying operation from the user, and the unchangeable inspection specifying unit 174 performs the element change. Identify which endoscopy to disallow. Note that the user may be allowed to designate an element that cannot be changed from among a plurality of elements that constitute the endoscopic examination schedule.

  Here, the elements constituting the examination schedule include at least an assigned examination room, examination start scheduled time information, examination termination scheduled time information, a doctor in charge, and a scope ID. For example, the user can specify that the change of the scope ID is prohibited among these elements. When such designation is performed, the examination room, scheduled examination time, and the doctor in charge can be changed, and the unchangeable examination specifying unit 174 specifies the examination element that cannot be changed, The inspection element is prevented from being changed.

  In the rescheduling process described in the sixth to eighth embodiments, the unchangeable inspection specifying unit 174 specifies an inspection that cannot change at least one of elements assigned in advance to the inspection. The reschedule processing unit 172 may notify the inspection schedule management unit 110 of an element that cannot be changed by the inspection specified by the unchangeable inspection specifying unit 174 and prohibit the change of the element. As a result, the inspection schedule management unit 110 does not change the notified inspection schedule elements, and performs rescheduling processing on other schedule elements.

  In addition, it has been described that the inspection that cannot change the schedule element is specified by the unchangeable inspection specifying unit 174, and the reschedule processing unit 172 notifies the inspection schedule management unit 110 of the schedule element that cannot be changed. As a result, when the inspection schedule management unit 110 changes the elements of the inspection schedule that are not allowed to be changed, there is a possibility that the scope 30 to be allocated is insufficient and the schedule is significantly delayed. .

  Therefore, the inspection schedule management unit 110 holds a predetermined rescheduling condition regarding rescheduling, and notifies the user that the inspection schedule cannot be changed when the rescheduling condition is not satisfied. The rescheduling condition may be set so that the delay of the inspection start falls within a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour). When there is a schedule element that cannot be changed by the unchangeable examination specifying unit 174, the first assignment processing unit 120 has a schedule element that is prohibited from being changed when assigning a scope 30 or a doctor. Thus, the degree of freedom of allocation is also limited. Therefore, when the inspection schedule management unit 110 causes the first allocation processing unit 120 to perform the reassignment process of the schedule elements and changes the elements of the inspection schedule, if the predetermined re-schedule condition is not satisfied, It is preferable to notify that the inspection schedule cannot be changed.

  Even when the reschedule condition is satisfied and the inspection schedule can be changed, the inspection schedule management unit 110 preferably notifies the user of the fact when the inspection time frame is adjusted. Thereby, a user such as a doctor can recognize that the end of the examination is delayed from the schedule, and can take measures such as reviewing his / her schedule after the examination is completed.

  Although various scheduling and rescheduling algorithms have been proposed in the present application, it is possible to create a plurality of types of inspection schedules and cleaning schedules by using some of them. Therefore, the display processing unit 150 has a function of displaying the changed inspection schedule and / or cleaning schedule on the display of the terminal device 12, and when there are a plurality of inspection schedule and / or cleaning schedule candidates, each display candidate is displayed. It may be displayed on the display so that the user can select one of the candidates. When the user selects one of the candidates, the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule management unit 130 confirm the change of the selected inspection schedule and / or cleaning schedule.

<Example 9>
In the seventh and eighth embodiments, the rescheduling process when the doctor in charge assigned to the test cannot perform the test due to an unexpected reason has been described. In the ninth embodiment, the daily schedule of medical staff such as doctors, nurses, or technicians is managed, and the medical staff is assigned to each test included in the test schedule before the start of the daily test work. Processing will be described. Hereinafter, medical staff engaged in endoscopy work such as doctors, nurses, or technicians are also simply referred to as “staff”. In the ninth embodiment, a technique for assigning a staff to an inspection will be described, and a process for assigning a scope 30 to an inspection and a process for assigning a cleaning machine 50 to a used scope 30 will not be specifically mentioned. As described in the above embodiments and examples.

  FIG. 57 shows a configuration of the processing unit 100 having a function of executing a process of assigning a staff to an examination among the configurations of the information management apparatus 10. The information management apparatus 10 includes a processing unit 100 and a storage unit 200.

May be.

  Each configuration of the information management apparatus 10 can be realized in hardware by a CPU, memory, or other LSI of an arbitrary computer, and is realized in software by a program loaded in the memory. Describes functional blocks realized by collaboration. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The examination schedule management unit 110 includes a plurality of endoscopic examinations including an examination room for performing an endoscopic examination, examination start scheduled time information and examination termination scheduled time information, and examination type information regarding examination contents of the endoscopic examination. Manage the inspection schedule. Specifically, the examination schedule management unit 110 records examination schedule information in the examination schedule holding unit 206 and manages examination schedules for a plurality of endoscopic examinations.

  Here, the examination schedule holding unit 206 is examination schedule information for a plurality of endoscopic examinations, which includes an examination room for performing an endoscopic examination, scheduled examination start time information and scheduled examination end time information, and an endoscope. Test schedule information having test type information relating to the test content of the test as an element is held. In the ninth embodiment, a combination of an examination room in one endoscopic examination, scheduled examination start time information, scheduled examination end time information, and examination type information is referred to as examination schedule information, and constitutes examination schedule information. Each piece of information is called an element of inspection schedule information. The examination schedule information may include information regarding the patient ID and the scope to be used. The inspection schedule is composed of a plurality of inspection schedule information.

  In the ninth embodiment, the first assignment processing unit 120 performs processing for assigning a staff member in charge of the inspection to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Here, the staff is a medical worker in charge of inspection, such as a doctor, a nurse, or a technician. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the doctor assigning unit 129 has a function of assigning a doctor to the endoscopic examination included in the examination schedule, and similarly, the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns a nurse to the endoscopic examination. The engineer assigning unit 132 has a function of assigning an engineer to the endoscopy. If the inspection does not require an engineer, the engineer assignment unit 132 does not assign an engineer to the inspection.

  In the ninth embodiment, schedule information of staff in a medical facility is managed. The staff schedule management unit 190 records and manages staff schedule information in the staff schedule holding unit 212. The staff schedule management unit 190 is configured by schedule management software, and each staff inputs his / her schedule to the schedule management software, whereby staff schedule information is recorded in the staff schedule holding unit 212. As will be described later, the staff can input the addition or change of the schedule on the same day, and when there is an addition or change of the schedule, the staff schedule management unit 190 immediately sends the information to the staff schedule holding unit 212. Reflect in the registration information.

  Before creating the inspection schedule, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the staff for the day from the staff schedule management unit 190. Upon receiving the schedule information acquisition request from the schedule information acquisition unit 186, the staff schedule management unit 190 collects the schedule information of the staff for the day from the staff schedule holding unit 212 and provides the schedule information acquisition unit 186 with it. The staff schedule holding unit 212 may be provided in a system in a medical facility different from the endoscopic examination work support system 1.

<Example 9a>
FIG. 58 shows a flowchart of staff assignment processing by the first assignment processing unit 120.
Supporting doctors by nurses and technicians enables efficient testing. In particular, as will be described later, it is difficult for an examination such as ESD to be performed by a doctor alone, and team medical care is often performed by a doctor, a nurse, and / or an engineer.

  The first assignment processing unit 120 assigns a doctor to the examination, and also performs a process of assigning a nurse or engineer to the examination. Finally, the examination schedule management unit 110 performs the examination by the doctor, nurse, and / or Create an inspection schedule to which an engineer is assigned. In the example shown below, for convenience of explanation, the process of assigning a doctor to an examination among staff will be described.

  Prior to the execution of the staff assignment process, the examination schedule management unit 110 manages an examination schedule to which no staff is assigned, and the first assignment processing unit 120 acquires the examination schedule from the examination schedule management unit 110 (S300). ). Note that the first assignment processing unit 120 may acquire the inspection schedule from the inspection schedule holding unit 206.

  FIG. 59 shows an example of an inspection schedule managed by the inspection schedule management unit 110. In this examination schedule, examinations E1 to E27 are assigned to any one of the three examination rooms of the first examination room 20a to the third examination room 20c, but no staff is assigned yet. Each examination is set with an examination room, scheduled examination start time information, and scheduled examination end time information. In this example, all inspections are upper routine inspections, but other types of inspections may be included.

  The schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the staff in the medical facility from the staff schedule management unit 190 (S302). The schedule information includes at least start time information and end time information. In Example 9a, a case where the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires schedule information of doctors among the staff will be described. The schedule information acquisition unit 186 provides the acquired schedule information of the doctor to the first allocation processing unit 120.

  At this time, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 may set a predetermined margin time before and after the doctor's schedule information. The margin time before the schedule start time information is set based on the preparation time (for example, travel time) for the doctor to start the schedule. Further, the blank time after the scheduled end time information is set based on the time (for example, travel time) for preparing the examination after the doctor finishes the schedule. The schedule information acquisition unit 186 may set the blank time according to the content of the schedule, but may set the blank time to a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes). The schedule information acquisition unit 186 uses the start time information in which the margin time is set before the original scheduled start time and the end time information in which the margin time is set after the original scheduled end time as first schedule information of the doctor. You may provide to the allocation process part 120. FIG.

  FIG. 60 shows an example of a staff schedule that is schedule information of a doctor. Here, in order to show the relationship with the inspection schedule, the inspection schedule and the staff schedule are shown side by side. Hereinafter, schedule information of each doctor will be described.

  The doctor A has a schedule of rounds from 9:00 to 9:30. Physician B has a schedule of rounds from 9:40 to 10:00 and a schedule for going out from 11:00. The doctor C is scheduled for a meeting from 9:30 to 10:20, and is scheduled to go out from 11:00. Doctor E is scheduled to work at 9:55.

  These schedule information may be time information including a blank time set by the schedule information acquisition unit 186. For example, doctor A's round trip schedule itself is 9: 05-9: 25, and 9: 00: 00-9: 30 in which the margin time is set 5 minutes before and after the scheduled round trip time may be handled as round trip schedule information. . In the staff schedule shown in FIG. 60, the schedule information of the doctor D is not set. However, the doctor D has a schedule of 60 minutes including a margin time before and after that can be executed at an appropriate timing. Yes. For example, the doctor D has a work schedule that must be performed in the morning of the day (for example, preparation of meeting materials), but the work schedule may be performed at any time in the morning. Is set. The schedule that can be set fluidly can be set at an appropriate timing by the staff schedule management unit 190 in balance with the staff allocation processing by the first allocation processing unit 120, as will be described later.

  The first assignment processing unit 120 performs assignment processing for assigning a staff member in charge of the inspection to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110 (S304). In the first assignment processing unit 120, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor in charge of each endoscopic examination based on the doctor schedule information acquired by the schedule information acquiring unit 186. The nurse assigning unit 131 and the engineer assigning unit 132 also assign a nurse and a technician who are in charge of each endoscopy based on schedule information of nurses and technicians (not shown).

  The doctor assigning unit 129 compares the schedule information of the examination schedule with the doctor schedule information of the staff schedule, and automatically assigns a doctor to each examination according to the comparison result. At this time, the doctor assigning unit 129 may assign a doctor to the examination based on a preset assignment condition. As an example of the assignment condition, for example, a female doctor is assigned to a female patient. Further, the allocation condition may be according to the doctor skill table shown in FIG. The setting of the allocation condition and whether or not the doctor allocation unit 129 treats the allocation condition as an indispensable requirement is appropriately determined by the medical facility. For example, in the case where a plurality of assignment conditions are essential requirements, there may be a case where the number of doctors that can be assigned to the number of examinations is insufficient due to restrictions on the number of doctors assigned to examinations. Therefore, the operation of the allocation condition may be set flexibly for each medical facility.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 derives the number of doctors that can be assigned to examinations scheduled in one or more laboratories in the same time period based on the schedule information of the staff acquired by the schedule information acquiring unit 186.

  FIG. 61 shows the calculation result of the number of staffs that can be assigned by the doctor assigning unit 129. FIG. 61 shows, in a tabular form, the time slot, examination number, number of examinations, assignable doctors, and assignable doctor numbers in a table for easy understanding. Here, the “number of examinations” is the number of examinations scheduled in the time period, and the “number of doctors that can be assigned” is the number of doctors that can be assigned to examinations in the time period.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 determines that a doctor can be assigned to an examination if the number of assignable doctors is greater than or equal to the number of examinations for one or more examinations in a certain time period. In the example shown in FIG. 61, in the time zone other than 9:45 to 9:55, the number of doctors that can be assigned is equal to or greater than the number of examinations, and the doctor assignment unit 129 has a time zone other than 9:45 to 9:55. It is determined that a doctor can be assigned to the examination. On the other hand, in the time zone from 9:45 to 9:55, the number of doctors that can be assigned is 2, whereas the number of examinations is 3, so one doctor is short of the number of examinations. .

  The doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors preferentially to examinations performed during a time period when the number of assignable staffs is small (S304). Specifically, when the number of doctors that can be assigned is smaller than the number of examinations scheduled in the same time zone, the doctor assignment unit 129 assigns doctors preferentially to examinations in that time zone. Here, preferentially assigning means assigning doctors prior to examinations in other time zones.

  First, by assigning doctors to examinations in a time period where the number of assignable doctors is small among a plurality of time periods, it becomes possible to quickly identify examinations to which doctors cannot be assigned. Exams that cannot be assigned to a doctor cannot be performed due to a shortage of doctors during that time period, so it is necessary to change to another time period. That is, since it is necessary to correct the examination schedule, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors preferentially to examinations in a time zone with a small number of assignable doctors in order to identify examinations to which doctors cannot be assigned.

  FIG. 62 shows a state where doctors are assigned to the examinations E10 and E11 in the time zone from 9:45 to 9:55. The doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor A to the examination E10 and a doctor D to the examination E11. As can be seen from FIG. 62, the doctor assigning unit 129 cannot assign a doctor to the examination E12.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 notifies the examination schedule managing unit 110 and the staff schedule managing unit 190 that the doctor A is assigned to the examination E10 and the doctor D is assigned to the examination E11. The examination schedule management unit 110 registers the doctor A in the examination E10 and the doctor D in the examination E11 in the examination schedule held in the examination schedule holding unit 206. Further, the staff schedule management unit 190 adds the schedule information of the examination to the schedule information of the doctors A and D and registers it in the staff schedule holding unit 212. The staff schedule in FIG. 62 shows a state in which schedule information for examinations is added to the schedules of doctors A and D.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 that a doctor cannot be assigned to the examination E12. Upon receiving this notification, the inspection schedule management unit 110 recognizes that the time zone for the inspection E12 must be changed.

  When the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors preferentially to examinations in the 9:45 to 9:55 time period, the examination E12 that cannot be assigned is detected (Y in S306). When there is an examination to which a doctor cannot be assigned, the examination schedule management unit 110 corrects the examination schedule information (S308). That is, the inspection schedule management unit 110 changes the inspection start scheduled time information and the inspection end scheduled time information of the inspection E12.

  The examination schedule management unit 110 changes the examination E12 to a time zone in which doctors are available, that is, a time zone in which there are assignable doctors. The time zone in which doctors are available is a time zone in which the number of doctors that can be assigned is greater than the number of examinations. For example, the examination schedule management unit 110 may change the time period of the examination E12 to the earliest time period that is available for the doctor. Referring to FIG. 61, in the time zone from 10:00 to 10:10, the number of doctors that can be assigned is 4, whereas the number of examinations is calculated as 1, and this time zone is free for doctors. It is the earliest time to go out.

  FIG. 63 shows an inspection schedule in which the time zone of the inspection E12 is corrected. The inspection E12 is changed to a time zone of 10:00 to 10:10. Note that the examination schedule management unit 110 may change the examination E12 in a time zone other than the earliest time zone available for the doctor. Referring to FIG. 61, for example, even in the time zone such as 10:15 to 10:25, 11:15 to 11:25, the number of doctors that can be assigned is larger than the number of examinations, and therefore, the examination schedule management unit 110 may change the examination E12 to these time zones.

  In Example 9a, the scheduled start times of examinations in each examination room are aligned, but the scheduled start times of examinations may be different for each examination room. For example, the doctor assigning unit 129 may calculate the assignable number of staffs shown in FIG. 61 every minute, whereby the examination schedule management unit 110 can change the examination E12 at an arbitrary time zone. It becomes. For example, the inspection schedule management unit 110 can change the inspection E12 to a time zone of 9:55 to 10:05. Further, the inspection schedule management unit 110 may change the time zone of the inspection E12 after the final inspection in the inspection schedule.

  When the examination schedule is corrected, the doctor assigning unit 129 schedules the staff obtained by the schedule information obtaining unit 186 for the number of staff that can be assigned to examinations scheduled in one or more laboratories during the same time period. Derived again based on information.

  FIG. 64 shows the calculation result of the number of staffs that can be assigned by the doctor assigning unit 129. Compared with FIG. 61, since the doctors A and D are already assigned to the examinations E10 and E11 of 9:45 to 9:55, the examination number is 0 and the assignable doctor number is 0. .

  The doctor assigning unit 129 determines that a doctor can be assigned to an examination if the number of assignable doctors is greater than or equal to the number of examinations for one or more examinations in a certain time period. In the example shown in FIG. 64, the number of doctors that can be assigned is equal to or greater than the number of examinations in examinations in all time zones. Accordingly, the doctor assigning unit 129 determines that doctors can be assigned to all examinations.

  As mentioned above, doctor D may be set at any time, but has a one hour schedule that must be performed in the morning. When the doctor assignment unit 129 determines that doctors can be assigned to all examinations, the staff schedule management unit 190 sets the schedule information of the doctor D at an appropriate timing. At this time, the staff schedule management unit 190 sets the schedule information in a time zone in which the number of assignable doctors is larger than the number of examinations. In this example, after 9:55, the state where doctors remain with respect to the number of examinations continues, so the staff schedule management unit 190 changes the schedule information of the doctor D for one hour to 9:55 to 10:55. Set.

  FIG. 65 shows a state in which a one-hour schedule for the doctor D is set in the staff schedule. As described above, when the staff schedule management unit 190 sets the schedule information of the staff, the staff schedule management unit 190 registers the schedule information of the staff in the staff schedule holding unit 212.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 sequentially assigns doctors to examinations not assigned to doctors (S304). For example, the step of S304 may be performed for each time slot of the inspection schedule, or may be performed for each inspection. Here, assuming that the step of S304 is performed for each time zone, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to an examination in a certain time zone, and there is no examination that cannot be assigned in the time zone (S306). N), it is determined whether doctor assignment is completed for all examinations (S310). Here, if there is still an examination in the unassigned time zone (N in S310), a doctor is assigned to the examination in another time zone (S304). The doctor assigning unit 129 performs this assigning process for all examinations (Y in S310).

  FIG. 66 shows an example of the generated examination schedule and staff schedule. The examination schedule management unit 110 registers schedule information to which a doctor is assigned in the examination schedule holding unit 206, and the staff schedule management unit 190 registers examination schedule information set for each staff in the staff schedule holding unit 212. . The inspection schedule and the staff schedule are displayed on the terminal device 12 or the portable terminal 60 by the display processing unit 150, and the staff can confirm the inspection schedule and the own schedule.

  Note that in S304, the doctor assigning unit 129 explained that doctors may be assigned to examinations based on predetermined assignment conditions. This allocation condition may include a physician's preferential allocation criteria. For example, as an allocation criterion, a criterion for averaging the number of examinations handled by a doctor as much as possible may be set, and an order for assigning doctors to examinations may be set. The operation of the allocation standard may be flexibly set for each medical facility.

  The doctor assigning unit 129 automatically assigns doctors to examinations, but the staff can change the automatically assigned examination schedule. For example, the staff can change the doctor assigned to the examination from the terminal device 12 or the portable terminal 60. The change input is received by the input receiving unit 176 and provided to the examination schedule management unit 110 and the staff schedule management unit 190. The inspection schedule management unit 110 updates the schedule information in the inspection schedule holding unit 206 by reflecting the change input by the staff in the inspection schedule. Further, the staff schedule management unit 190 updates the schedule information in the staff schedule holding unit 212 by reflecting the change input by the staff in the staff schedule. In addition, when the examination which cannot assign a doctor arises by the change input of a staff, such a change input is not received.

  In the ninth embodiment, similarly to the doctor allocating unit 129, the nurse allocating unit 131 and the technician allocating unit 132 perform a process of allocating nurses and engineers to examinations based on the respective staff schedule information. As a result, an examination schedule is created, and a schedule for nurses and technicians is created.

<Example 9b>
In the seventh embodiment, focusing on the fact that there are individual differences in the skills of doctors, it has been described that the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors to examinations with reference to the doctor skill table. The same situation exists for nurses in terms of individual skills differences.

  In the case of an examination that requires treatment or assistance, the assistance of a nurse is necessary, but it is known that the examination time varies depending on the skill level of the nurse. If the inspection does not end as scheduled, a rescheduling process must be performed, and therefore a delay in the inspection is not preferable. Therefore, in Example 9b, the nurse assigning unit 131 performs a process of assigning the nurse to the examination in consideration of the skill of the nurse.

  FIG. 67 shows an example of the skill determination table 213 stored in the storage unit 200. The skill determination table 213 holds nurse skills associated with the attribute information of a plurality of nurses. In this example, the attribute information is the number of years of experience, the number of experience tests, and whether or not there is a qualification as a digestive endoscopy engineer, but other attribute information may be used. Here, the qualification of a digestive endoscopy engineer includes, for example, the qualifications of a clinical laboratory engineer and a clinical engineering engineer. The skill determination unit 133 sets the skill of the nurse according to the skill determination table 213. The nurse skill is also one of the nurse's attribute information, and expresses the level of proficiency at multiple levels. The attribute information such as the number of years of experience, the number of experience tests, and the presence or absence of a digestive endoscopist changes with the passage of time, and the skill determination unit 133 refers to the nurse's attribute information on a daily basis for nursing. Update teacher skills to the latest state. In terms of proficiency, a nurse having skill A, skill B, and skill C in descending order and having attribute information of skill A can take charge of all examinations.

  FIG. 68 shows the skills of nurses A to H determined by the skill determination unit 133. The skills of the nurses A to H are held by the nurse skill holding unit 215. The skill determination unit 133 sets each skill according to the attribute information of each nurse and records it in the nurse skill holding unit 215. In this example, nurses A and B are set with skill A, nurses C, D, E, and F are set with skill B, and nurses G and H are set with skill C.

  FIG. 69 shows an example of the required skill table 214 in which necessary nurse skills are set for the examination type. The required skill table 214 defines necessary nurse skills and the number of nurses for each examination type.

  The upper routine examination is set to require one skill C nurse. Here, “one nurse with skill C is required” means that one nurse with skill C or higher is required. In Example 9, since skill C is the lowest level skill, the need for one nurse of skill C means that any nurse can be in charge of one.

  In the upper treatment (stomach ESD), one skill A nurse and one skill C nurse are required. The requirement for one skill C nurse means that any nurse can be in charge as described above. On the other hand, the requirement of one nurse with skill A means that one nurse with skills of skill A or higher is required. In Example 9b, since skill A is the highest level skill, one nurse of skill A is necessary. Referring to FIG. 68, either nurse A or B needs to be in charge. Means that.

Hereinafter, a process in which the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns nurses to examinations will be described.
FIG. 70 shows another example of the inspection schedule managed by the inspection schedule management unit 110. In this examination schedule, examinations E1 to E24 are assigned to any one of the three examination rooms of the first examination room 20a to the third examination room 20c, but no staff is assigned yet. Each examination is set with an examination room, scheduled examination start time information, and scheduled examination end time information. FIG. 70 shows an examination schedule in which three upper treatment stomach ESDs are scheduled from 9 o'clock, and an upper routine examination is scheduled after the completion of these.

  Referring to FIG. 58, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the staff in the medical facility (S302). In Example 9b, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the nurse and provides it to the first allocation processing unit 120. Note that the process when the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the doctor is as described in the embodiment 9a.

  Here, it is assumed that schedule information for operations other than the inspection is not set for each of the nurses A to H. Therefore, hereinafter, a process in which the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns a nurse to an examination based on the skill of the nurse will be described. If schedule information is set for the nurse, the nurse cannot be assigned to the examination in the scheduled time zone, as described for the doctor in Example 9a.

  The nurse assigning unit 131 performs an assigning process for assigning a nurse in charge of the inspection to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule managing unit 110 (S304). The nurse assigning unit 131 identifies necessary nurse skills from the required skill table 214 based on the type of examination to be assigned. When the nurse assigning unit 131 identifies the necessary nurse skills, the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns nurses to the examination based on the nurse skill information held in the nurse skill holding unit 215. Hereinafter, a case where nurses are assigned in order to the examinations E1, E2, and E3 in the same time zone will be described.

  Since the type of the examination E1 is the upper treatment stomach ESD, the nurse assigning unit 131 refers to the requested skill table 214, and the nurse necessary for the examination assigns one nurse having the skill A and the skill C. Identify that you have one nurse. When a nurse with skill C is required, it is possible to assign not only skill C but also nurses with skill A and skill B. Assign a nurse with Since it is assumed that nurses with higher skills than required may be assigned to other specialized examinations, it is preferable to keep them as free as possible.

  From the above, the nurse assigning unit 131 refers to the skill information held in the nurse skill holding unit 215 for the examination E1, and the nurse A having the skill A and the nurse having the skill C Assign G.

  Subsequently, since the type of the examination E2 is the upper treatment stomach ESD, the nurse assigning unit 131 refers to the required skill table 214, and the nurse necessary for the examination includes one nurse having the skill A and the skill Identify one nurse with C. Therefore, the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns the nurse B having the skill A and the nurse H having the skill C to the examination E2 by referring to the skill information held in the nurse skill holding unit 215. .

  FIG. 71 shows a state where nurses are assigned to examinations E1 and E2. The nurse assigning unit 131 assigns nurses A and G to the examination E1 and nurses B and H to the examination E2.

  Subsequently, since the type of the examination E3 is the upper treatment stomach ESD, the nurse assigning unit 131 refers to the required skill table 214, and the nurse necessary for the examination includes one nurse having the skill A and the skill. Identify one nurse with C. The nurse assigning unit 131 refers to the skill information held in the nurse skill holding unit 215 for the examination E3 and searches for a vacant nurse having the skill A, but the nurses A and B have already No nurses with skill A remain because they are assigned to the exam. There are no nurses with skill C left, but the nurse request for skill C can be substituted by the nurse for skill B, so this is no problem. However, in any case, since a nurse having skill A cannot be assigned to the examination E3, the examination E3 cannot be performed during this time period.

  The nurse assigning unit 131 notifies the examination schedule managing unit 110 and the staff schedule managing unit 190 that the nurses A and G are assigned to the examination E1 and the nurses B and H are assigned to the examination E2. The examination schedule management unit 110 registers nurses A and G in the examination E1 and nurses B and H in the examination E2 in the examination schedule held in the examination schedule holding unit 206. Further, the staff schedule management unit 190 adds the scheduled examination information to the schedule information of the nurses A, B, G, and H, and registers the information in the staff schedule holding unit 212.

  The nurse assignment unit 131 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 that a nurse cannot be assigned to the examination E3. Upon receiving this notification, the inspection schedule management unit 110 recognizes that the time zone for the inspection E3 must be changed.

  When there is an examination to which a nurse cannot be assigned (Y in S306), the examination schedule management unit 110 corrects the examination schedule information (S308). That is, the inspection schedule management unit 110 changes the inspection start scheduled time information and the inspection end scheduled time information of the inspection E3. The examination schedule management unit 110 changes the examination E3 to a time zone in which a nurse having skill A is available, that is, a time zone in which there is a nurse having skill A that can be assigned.

  FIG. 72 shows an inspection schedule in which the time zone of the inspection E3 is corrected. In the third examination room 20c, examinations E6, E9, E12, E15, E18, E21 are set before the examination E3, and examination E3 is set after the examinations E6, E9, E12, E15, E18, E21. ing. As described above, the examination schedule management unit 110 can change the examination E3 in a time zone in which the nurse of skill A is vacant by changing the order of examinations in the third examination room 20c.

  The nurse assigning unit 131 sequentially assigns nurses to examinations that are not assigned to nurses (S304). For example, the step of S304 may be performed for each time slot of the inspection schedule, or may be performed for each inspection. Here, assuming that the step of S304 is performed for each time zone, the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns a nurse to an examination in a certain time zone, and there is no examination that cannot be assigned in that time zone. (N in S306), it is determined whether nurse assignment is completed for all examinations (S310). If unassigned examinations still remain (N in S310), nurses are assigned to examinations in another time zone (S304). The nurse assigning unit 131 performs this assigning process for all examinations (Y in S310).

  In step S304, the nurse assigning unit 131 may assign nurses in order from examinations requiring high skills to examinations not assigned to nurses. Since examinations that require high skills are limited in the number of nurses assigned, nurses can be efficiently assigned to examination schedules by preferentially assigning nurses from such examinations.

  FIG. 73 shows an example of the generated inspection schedule. The examination schedule management unit 110 registers schedule information to which a nurse is assigned in the examination schedule holding unit 206, and the staff schedule management unit 190 registers examination schedule information set for each staff in the staff schedule holding unit 212. To do. The inspection schedule and the staff schedule are displayed on the terminal device 12 or the portable terminal 60 by the display processing unit 150, and the staff can confirm the inspection schedule and the own schedule.

  In medical facilities, team medical care is sometimes performed for examination and treatment in cooperation with a single patient. As shown in the required skill table 214 of FIG. 69, in special endoscopic treatment such as ESD, a highly skilled (highly skilled) nurse needs to participate in the examination. This is a typical examination type to be implemented. Therefore, in Example 9b, the nurse assigning unit 131 assigns nurses having skills necessary for ESD to the ESD with reference to the skill information held in the nurse skill holding unit 215. If the team medical operation is to assign a highly skilled engineer to the ESD, the engineer assigning unit 132 refers to the skill information of the engineer and assigns it to the ESD.

In the modified example of Example 9b, team staff may be fixed in advance for each examination type when team medical care is performed.
FIG. 74 shows an example of team staff held in the team table 216. In the team table 216, combinations of team staff for performing team medical care are registered for each examination type. In this example, doctor A, nurse A, and nurse G are registered as staff of team A who performs upper procedure stomach ESD, and doctor B, nurse B, and nurse H are registered as team B staff. It is registered. The team table 216 registers team staff in the same manner for other examination types.

  In the staff assignment process, when the examination schedule includes an examination for performing the team medical treatment, the first assignment processing unit 120 refers to the team table 216 and performs an examination on the target for the team medical treatment. The team staff defined in the team table 216 is preferably assigned with priority. This is because, since the team staff is fixed, for example, if nurse A is assigned to the examination in the same time zone, team A cannot be assigned to the team medical object examination in the same time zone. For this reason, the first assignment processing unit 120 first searches for an examination to be a team medical treatment from the examination schedule, and assigns the team staff registered in the team table 216 to the examination. The first assignment processing unit 120 assigns team staff to examinations to be subjected to team medical care in preference to assignment of staff members to examinations that are not subject to team medical care. Can be generated efficiently.

  If no team staff is assigned, as described in the seventh and ninth embodiments, the first assignment processing unit 120 may assign the staff to the inspection based on the skill information necessary for each inspection.

  In the team table 216, the team staff is composed of a combination of doctors and nurses, but it is understood that the team staff may be composed of a combination of doctors, nurses, and engineers.

  When a team in team medical care cannot be formed, or when necessary staff cannot be assigned to the examination, the display processing unit 150 notifies the terminal device 12 or the portable terminal 60 that the necessary staff cannot be assigned. May be.

  In the ninth embodiment, it has been described that the inspection schedule is created based on the staff schedule and based on the staff skill. When a change occurs in the staff schedule on the inspection day, the reschedule processing unit 172 performs the rescheduling process according to the changed staff schedule. When the staff skill is updated on the inspection day, the reschedule processing unit 172 may perform rescheduling processing.

  When a change occurs in the staff schedule, the reschedule processing unit 172 determines whether the inspection schedule created in advance is changed due to the change in the staff schedule. When the reschedule processing unit 172 determines that the inspection schedule is changed, the reschedule processing unit 172 allocates another staff to the inspection that needs to be changed. If another staff is not available, that is, there is no staff that can be assigned, the staff assignment after the inspection that needs to be changed is canceled, and the staff is renewed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. May be executed.

  At this time, the reschedule processing unit 172 may instruct the staff assignment processing to the first assignment processing unit 120 so as to minimize the change in the combination of the examination and the staff. Note that the first assignment processing unit 120 may perform the staff assignment process so as to minimize the change in the inspection execution time of each staff member. For example, when a sudden schedule occurs in the staff A assigned to the examination and the assignment of the examination is removed, another staff B is assigned to the examination. In such a case, the first assignment processing unit 120 assigns the staff A to the examination to which another staff B has been assigned, so that the inspection execution time of the staff B is not increased, but the inspection time of the staff A and B is increased. You may adjust so that implementation time may become equal.

  When the staff schedule is changed in this way, the reschedule processing unit 172 can reconfigure the examination schedule according to the staff schedule by performing the rescheduling process.

<Example 10>
In Example 9, one day schedule other than the inspection work of a staff member such as a doctor, nurse, or engineer is managed, and the staff for each inspection included in the inspection schedule before the start of the daily inspection work. The technique for assigning was described.

  In addition to the staff schedule, the schedule of resources such as the scope 30, the endoscope observation apparatus 22, and the cleaning machine 50 also affects the inspection schedule. For example, a faulty scope 30 cannot be used and is not assigned for inspection. In addition, the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the washing machine 50 that are prohibited from being used are not assigned to the inspection. Because of such circumstances, in Example 10, the schedule of resources used in the inspection of the scope 30, the endoscope observation apparatus 22, the washing machine 50, etc. is managed, and the inspection schedule is set before the start of the daily inspection work. A technique for allocating resources for each included test will be described.

  FIG. 75 shows a configuration of the processing unit 100 having a function of executing a process of allocating resources to examinations in the configuration of the information management apparatus 10. The information management apparatus 10 includes a processing unit 100 and a storage unit 200. The processing unit 100 includes an inspection schedule management unit 110, a first allocation processing unit 120, a cleaning schedule management unit 130, a second allocation processing unit 140, and a display processing unit. 150, a reschedule processing unit 172, an input reception unit 176, a schedule information acquisition unit 186, a notification control unit 188, and a resource schedule management unit 192. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the processing unit 100 may include a display content deriving unit 152, a period specifying unit 154, and a usage status monitoring unit 160.

  Each configuration of the information management apparatus 10 can be realized in hardware by a CPU, memory, or other LSI of an arbitrary computer, and is realized in software by a program loaded in the memory. Describes functional blocks realized by collaboration. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The examination schedule management unit 110 includes a plurality of endoscopic examinations including an examination room for performing an endoscopic examination, examination start scheduled time information and examination termination scheduled time information, and examination type information regarding examination contents of the endoscopic examination. Manage the inspection schedule. The examination schedule management unit 110 records examination schedule information in the examination schedule holding unit 206 and manages examination schedules for a plurality of endoscopic examinations.

  In the tenth embodiment, the inspection schedule management unit 110 performs a process of assigning the inspection room 20 to the inspection. The availability of the examination room 20 is determined by the availability of the endoscope observation device 22 installed in the examination room 20. In the tenth embodiment, the resource schedule management unit 192 records and manages the schedule information of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 in the resource schedule holding unit 240. The schedule information of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 is schedule information related to the availability of the day, and includes information indicating, for example, whether it is out of order or repaired until.

  When creating the examination schedule, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 from the resource schedule management unit 192 and provides it to the examination schedule management unit 110. The examination schedule management unit 110 assigns the examination room 20 to the examination scheduled for the day according to the schedule information of the endoscope observation apparatus 22. Thereby, the examination schedule management unit 110 manages the examination room for carrying out the examination, the examination start scheduled time information, and the examination termination scheduled time information.

  The first assignment processing unit 120 performs processing for assigning the scope 30 used in the examination to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. The resource schedule management unit 192 records and manages the schedule information of the scope 30 in the resource schedule holding unit 240. The schedule information of the scope 30 is schedule information related to the availability of the day, and includes information indicating, for example, whether it is out of order or until repair.

  When allocating the scope 30, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the scope 30 from the resource schedule management unit 192 and provides it to the first allocation processing unit 120. The first assignment processing unit 120 assigns the scope 30 to the examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110 according to the schedule information of the scope 30. Thereby, the inspection schedule management unit 110 manages the inspection schedule in which the scope 30 to be used is registered for the inspection.

  The second assignment processing unit 140 assigns a cleaning machine 50 for cleaning the scope 30 used in each endoscopy from among the plurality of cleaning machines 50. The resource schedule management unit 192 records and manages the schedule information of the cleaning machine 50 in the resource schedule holding unit 240. The schedule information of the cleaning machine 50 is schedule information related to the availability of the day, and includes information indicating, for example, whether the machine is out of order or is being repaired.

  When allocating the cleaning machine 50, the schedule information acquisition unit 186 acquires the schedule information of the cleaning machine 50 from the resource schedule management unit 192 and provides it to the second allocation processing unit 140. The second assignment processing unit 140 assigns the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 used in the inspection according to the schedule information of the cleaning machine 50. Accordingly, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 generates a cleaning schedule for the scope 30 and records it in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  FIG. 76 shows an example of an input screen for inputting resource schedule information. A resource column 300, an event column 302, an unusable start column 304, and an unusable end column 306 are set in the resource schedule input screen. When the user recognizes a malfunction of one of the resources, that is, failure or damage, the user displays a schedule input screen on the mobile terminal 60 or the terminal device 12 and inputs a period during which the user cannot use the schedule.

  When the user selects the resource column 300, a list of resources for endoscopy is displayed. The user selects a resource that cannot be used from the resource list.

When the user selects the event column 302, an event list associated with the resource selected in the resource column 300 is displayed. For example, when the endoscope observation apparatus 22 is selected in the resource column 300, the event list includes the following events.
・ Failure ・ Battery replacement ・ Periodic inspection

When the cleaning machine 50 is selected in the resource column 300, the event list includes the following events.
-Disinfectant replenishment-Water filter replacement-Failure-Periodic inspection The user selects a corresponding event from the event list.

  Then, the user inputs the start time when the unusable state is entered into the unusable start column 304, and enters the end time when the unusable state is resolved into the unusable end column 306. For example, in the case of a resource failure, the date and time information of failure is input to the unusable start column 304, and the date and time information to complete repair is input to the unusable end column 306. In the case of periodic inspection of resources, the date and time information at which the periodic inspection is started is input to the unusable start column 304, and the date and time information at which the periodic inspection is ended is input to the unusable end column 306. The

  When the user operates the registration button 308, the input resource schedule information is transmitted to the information management apparatus 10. The input reception unit 176 receives resource schedule information from the mobile terminal 60 and provides the resource schedule information to the resource schedule management unit 192. The resource schedule management unit 192 registers resource schedule information in the resource schedule holding unit 240. In this way, a resource schedule is generated.

In the tenth embodiment, the resource schedule information is managed by the resource schedule management unit 192 as described above.
Then, as described above, the inspection schedule management unit 110, the first allocation processing unit 120, and the second allocation processing unit 140 determine whether or not the resource can be used, and the time during which the resource cannot be used. The band does not allocate the resource. This makes it possible to create an inspection schedule and a cleaning schedule that take into account resource schedule information.

  The timing at which the inspection schedule management unit 110, the first allocation processing unit 120, and the second allocation processing unit 140 make the resource unusable follows the date and time information input in the unusable start column 304.

  On the other hand, the timing at which the examination schedule management unit 110, the first allocation processing unit 120, and the second allocation processing unit 140 enable the use of resources may basically follow the date and time information input in the unusable end column 306. However, it may be usable at a timing earlier than the scheduled date and time, for example. Therefore, the user may be able to input the timing at which the user can use from the mobile terminal 60. When the user transmits information specifying the resource and date and time information when the user can use the portable terminal 60, the input receiving unit 176 receives the usable information, and the resource schedule managing unit 192 displays the resource schedule information. Update. Re-schedule processing unit 172 may perform rescheduling processing in response to the early start of resource use.

  On the other hand, the resource may not be available at the scheduled date and time. Therefore, the user may be able to input the date and time information that can be used from the portable terminal 60 again. In order to give the opportunity for the user to re-enter the date and time information that can be used, the notification control unit 188 may transmit a confirmation screen to the user's mobile terminal 60 5 minutes before the scheduled time to be usable. Good.

  FIG. 77 shows an example of a confirmation screen. On the confirmation screen, the user selects the “Yes” button if the resource can be used as scheduled, and selects the “No” button if the resource cannot be used, and inputs the date and time information on which the resource can be used. . As a result, if the schedule cannot be used as scheduled, the resource schedule management unit 192 updates the schedule information of the resource. If there is an examination that plans to use the resource, the reschedule processing unit 172 Implements the rescheduling process.

The aspect of Example 10 is as follows.
An inspection schedule management unit for managing the inspection schedule of the endoscopy,
A first allocation processing unit that allocates an endoscope to be used from among a plurality of endoscopes for each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit;
A second assignment processing unit for assigning a washing machine for washing an endoscope used in each of the endoscope examinations from among a plurality of washing machines;
A cleaning schedule management unit for managing a cleaning schedule of a plurality of endoscopes;
An endoscopy work support system comprising a schedule information acquisition unit that acquires schedule information of resources in a medical facility,
The inspection schedule management unit, the first allocation processing unit, and the second allocation processing unit perform resource allocation processing based on the resource schedule information acquired by the schedule information acquisition unit.
Endoscopy operation support system characterized by this.

<Example 11>
In the embodiment and Examples 1 to 5, the process of assigning the scope 30 to the inspection will be described. In Example 6, the cleaning process was troubled and the cleaning of the scope G-R-5 was delayed. It has been explained that the schedule is changed by the rescheduling process. Note that even if the scope 30 assigned to the inspection schedule is damaged or lost, it cannot be used for the scheduled inspection, so it is necessary to perform rescheduling processing.

  Referring to the configuration of processing unit 100 in FIG. 43, status information acquisition unit 170 acquires status information of scope 30. This may be acquired from the washing machine 50 or may be acquired from the endoscope observation apparatus 22. The input receiving unit 176 may receive the situation information input from the terminal device 12 or the portable terminal 60 by the user and provide the situation information acquisition unit 170 with the situation information. This status information indicates a malfunction of the scope 30 and is information indicating that the scope 30 is not usable according to the inspection schedule. The status information acquisition unit 170 provides the acquired status information to the reschedule processing unit 172 immediately (in real time) together with the acquired time information.

  In Example 11, when the first assignment processing unit 120 assigns the scope 30 to the inspection schedule, one or more scopes 30 that are not assigned to the inspection schedule are set for each model. For example, in the possession scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 42, there are five upper high-quality devices, but at least one of them is not assigned to the inspection schedule and is set to a complete standby state.

  Here, FIG. 2 shows a virtual status of the scope 30, but the scope 30 that is completely in a standby state is different from the “waiting” status shown in FIG. Means that there is no plan to use. Therefore, when the first assignment processing unit 120 assigns the upper high-quality device to the upper close inspection, at least one specific upper high-quality device is not extracted as a candidate scope to be assigned. Therefore, in the eleventh embodiment, the specific upper high-quality device is not assigned to the inspection.

  Ideally, the first allocation processing unit 120 sets at least one standby scope for the scope 30 of each model. The purpose is to use a standby scope as a substitute for the malfunction scope 30 when the malfunction occurs in the scope 30 during the inspection work.

  When the reschedule processing unit 172 recognizes that a certain scope 30 cannot be used based on the situation information provided from the situation information acquisition unit 170, the reschedule processing unit 172 notifies the examination schedule management unit 110 of the schedule information of the scope 30. Specifies that it should be replaced with a standby scope of the same model. Thereby, the inspection schedule management unit 110 reconfigures the inspection schedule by replacing the malfunctioning scope with the standby scope.

  When the standby scope is replaced with a malfunctioning scope, the reschedule processing unit 172 may perform rescheduling processing so as to newly generate a standby scope of the model.

  As described above, in the eleventh embodiment, when assigning the scope 30 to the examination, the scope specifying unit 124 excludes the standby scope and executes a search process for the owned scope to specify the usable scope 30. . This process is the scope search process of S52 in FIG. 9, but in the scope search process, a standby scope is determined for each model and is excluded from the search target in advance, so that it is not assigned to any examination. Set the scope.

  With respect to the status shown in FIG. 2, the “assignment exclusion status” is newly set as the standby scope, and the scope specifying unit 124 sets the standby scope by not performing the search process for the scope 30 to which the assignment exclusion status is set. It may be set.

The scope specifying unit 124 may set the standby scope for each model as follows.
(1) When there are old and new types of models For example, a new type scope 30 is preferentially assigned to inspection, and the old type scope 30 is set as a standby scope.
(2) When there is a difference in utilization rate In the second embodiment, referring to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224, it is explained that the candidate scope with the smallest number of past usages is preferentially assigned to the examination. did. Inheriting this concept, among the scopes 30 of the same model, the scope 30 with the largest number of past uses is set as the standby scope.

The aspect of Example 11 is as follows.
Examination for managing examination schedules for a plurality of endoscopic examinations, including an examination room for performing endoscopy, scheduled examination start time information and scheduled examination end time information, and examination type information relating to examination contents of endoscopy The schedule manager,
A first allocation processing unit that allocates an endoscope to be used from among a plurality of endoscopes for each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit;
A second assignment processing unit for assigning a washing machine for washing an endoscope used in each of the endoscope examinations from among a plurality of washing machines;
An endoscopy work support system comprising a cleaning machine and a cleaning schedule management unit that manages a cleaning schedule of a plurality of endoscopes including a cleaning start scheduled time information and a cleaning end scheduled time information,
The first allocation processing unit does not allocate at least one endoscope for each model among the endoscopes owned by the examination,
Endoscopy operation support system characterized by this.
The first assignment processing unit may not assign at least one endoscope to the examination for each time zone and examination type.

<Example 12>
In the eleventh embodiment, it has been described that the scope search process of S52 in FIG. 9 is performed so as to generate a standby scope.
The twelfth embodiment also relates to the scope search process of S52 in FIG.
In the embodiments and examples so far, it is assumed that all the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility can be connected to any of the endoscope observation apparatuses 22a to 22d installed in each examination room 20. However, in the actual endoscope observation apparatus 22, there are many restrictions on the scope 30 to be connected.

  For example, the scope 30 manufactured by the company B may not be connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22 manufactured by the company A. Even if the endoscope observation device 22 and the scope 30 manufactured by the same company A are combined, the old type scope 30 may not be connected to the new type endoscope observation device 22.

  In the detailed flowchart of the scope search process in S52 shown in FIG. 11, the scope specifying unit 124 executes the search process for all the scopes 30 having the “standby” status, and the scope having the “standby” status. It is determined whether or not 30 corresponds to the examination type (S90). For example, when the inspection type is “upper routine inspection”, the scope specifying unit 124 determines an upper routine machine having a “waiting” status as a candidate scope. Depending on the type of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 installed in the examination room 20 to which the examination is assigned, there are cases where the connection cannot be made.

  FIG. 78 shows an example of a first combination table that defines whether combinations of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the scope 30 stored in the storage unit 200 are possible. The first combination table shown in FIG. 78 records whether or not the upper routine machine and the endoscope observation apparatuses 22a to 22d in the scope 30 can be combined. However, the scope 30 and the endoscope observation apparatus of other models are recorded. Whether or not combinations of 22a to 22d are possible is also recorded. Here, “usable” indicates that the scope 30 can be connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22, and “unusable” indicates that the scope 30 cannot be connected to the endoscope observation apparatus 22.

  In S90 illustrated in FIG. 11, the scope specifying unit 124 searches for the scope 30 corresponding to the examination type, and determines a candidate scope by referring to the first combination table of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the scope 30. The scope specifying unit 124 maintains the correspondence between the examination room 20 and the type of the endoscope observation apparatus 22, searches for the scope 30 corresponding to the examination type of the examination, and then the endoscope observation apparatus of the examination room 20. Whether the scope 30 is connectable to 22 is specified from the first combination table. If the combination of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the scope 30 is set to “unusable”, the scope specifying unit 124 determines that the scope 30 cannot be assigned (S94), while the endoscope observation apparatus If the combination of 22 and the scope 30 is set to “usable”, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scope 30 as a candidate scope (S92).

  As described above, according to the twelfth embodiment, it is possible to assign an appropriate scope 30 to the examination by determining whether or not the combination of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the scope 30 is possible.

The combination of the endoscope observation apparatus 22 and the scope 30 has been described above, but the same applies to the combination of the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30.
FIG. 79 shows an example of a second combination table that defines whether combinations of the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30 are stored in the storage unit 200. The second combination table shown in FIG. 79 records whether or not a combination of the upper routine machine and the first washing machine 50a to the fourth washing machine 50d of the scope 30 is possible. Whether or not the washing machine 50a to the fourth washing machine 50d can be combined is also recorded. Here, “usable” indicates that the scope 30 can be cleaned by the cleaning machine 50, and “unusable” indicates that the scope 30 cannot be cleaned by the cleaning machine 50.

  In S110 illustrated in FIG. 13, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 executes a search process for the cleaning machine 50 owned by each scope 30 assigned in S18 and specifies a usable cleaning machine 50. At this time, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 refers to the second combination table of the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30. If the combination of the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30 is set to “unusable”, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 determines that the cleaning machine 50 cannot be assigned to the scope 30, while the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30. Is set to “available”, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 determines that the cleaning machine 50 can be assigned to the scope 30.

  As described above, according to the twelfth embodiment, it is possible to assign an appropriate cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 by determining whether the cleaning machine 50 and the scope 30 can be combined.
