Description

  The present invention relates to a guide device, a guide method, and a guide program for providing guide information to a patient undergoing a medical examination, and in particular, a guide device, a guide method, and a guide in a medical institution in which a plurality of display devices are installed. Regarding the program.

  Conventionally, in medical institutions such as general hospitals that examine a large number of patients, a plurality of medical departments such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and gynecology are installed. In addition to each clinical department, there are an examination room for performing various examinations, a treatment room for performing only treatment, a pharmacy for dispensing, an accounting window for accounting for medical expenses, and the like. Departments such as these departments and examination rooms are distributed in medical institution buildings.

  In such a medical institution, for the convenience of the patient, a guide device that displays a patient's reception number or the like that has become shorter in order is installed on display devices installed in various places in the building. Thereby, the patient can know approximate examination time, examination time, and the like. In addition, there is a guidance device that displays on the display device near each department the reception number of a patient who is scheduled to undergo a medical examination or the like in that department.

  In addition, when the patient himself places the IC card held by the patient on the guidance terminal, the examination reception data read from the IC card by the guidance terminal is transmitted to the management server, and the waiting order is determined according to the contents of the examination reception data received by the management server. And a technique for generating waiting order data such as waiting time and displaying it on a guidance terminal is disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
