  Next, an example of watching a patient's action range by an alarm notification from the alarm system 12 will be described.

(Assignment of wireless communication devices)
As shown in FIG. 5, the alarm system 12 is activated and a setting screen is displayed on the display unit 84. On this setting screen, for example, a list of patient names, availability, tag ID, current position, ward, room number, operation, and the like are displayed. On this setting screen, “Change” in the operation item of the patient to be carried by the wireless communication device 13 is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, on the display unit 84, a selection screen for the patient who has selected “change” is displayed. Next, the wireless communication devices 13 are assigned by this selection screen.

  On the selection screen, items of patient name, tag ID, area, and alarm retry interval are displayed. In the tag ID item, a tag ID that can be assigned to the wireless communication device 13 carried by the patient is set. The tag ID is automatically set according to a predetermined procedure. The tag ID is registered in each of the north ward NC and the south ward SC, and IDs composed of combinations of abbreviations and serial numbers of each ward are sequentially set. As the tag ID, for example, “07N-1” or the like is assigned as the first ID of the seventh floor north ward. In the area item, a non-notification area where no alarm is notified is selected from a plurality of candidates. For example, one of a plurality of area candidates having different sizes such as “ward”, “floor”, and “in-hospital” is selected. By selecting this non-notification area, an alarm is not notified when the patient carrying the wireless communication device 13 is in the selected area, and an alarm is notified when the patient carrying the wireless communication device 13 is out of the selected area. Will be. In the alarm retry interval item, when the alarm is not canceled by the nurse call slave unit 2, the nurse call master unit 5 and the mobile terminal 6, an interval for notifying the alarm again, or not to notify the alarm again is selected. For example, one of “1 minute”, “5 minutes”, “10 minutes”, and “no retry” is selected.

  When each item on the selection screen related to the target patient is selected, “Setting” is selected. Then, the wireless communication device 13 having the own device identification information set in each item of the selection screen is assigned to the target patient. Then, the assigned wireless communication device 13 is carried by the target patient.

(Alarm notification)
When a patient carrying the wireless communication device 13 moves outside the non-notification area, an alarm is notified from the alarm system 12 to the nurse call slave unit 2, the nurse call master unit 5, and the portable terminal 6. As a result, the nurse call slave unit 2, the nurse call master unit 5 and the portable terminal 6 output an alarm notifying that the patient has moved outside the non-notification area.

  For example, when the setting of the non-notification area is “floor”, an alarm is notified from the alarm system 12 when the patient moves out of the floor. When the setting of the non-notification area is “ward”, an alarm is notified from the alarm system 12 when the patient moves out of the hospital ward. Further, when the setting of the non-notification area is “in-hospital”, an alarm is notified from the alarm system 12 when the patient moves out of the hospital H.

  By the way, when a patient is transferred for examination or surgery, the patient may move to a position outside the non-notification area and an unnecessary alarm may be notified. When transferring the patient to the alarm system, it is necessary to cancel the alarm notification setting from the alarm system 12. In order to cancel the alarm notification setting, the medical worker operates the alarm system 12 to display the setting screen on the display unit 84 and confirms whether the target patient is the use target of the alarm system 12. In the above case, when it is a use target, it is necessary to cancel the alarm notification setting for the patient, and it is easy to forget to cancel the alarm notification for the target patient.

  In the nurse call system 10 according to the present embodiment, the nurse call parent device 5 can automatically acquire the alarm setting information set for each patient in the alarm system 12 from the alarm system 12. In the nurse call master unit 5 that is used routinely by medical personnel to check patient information, it is possible to easily check the usage status of the alarm system 12 of each patient and temporarily stop alarm notification. It is possible.

  Hereinafter, confirmation of the usage status of the alarm system 12 and temporary suspension of alarm notification in the nurse call parent device 5 will be described.

(Check usage)
On the large monitor 53 of the nurse call master 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a standby screen including a list of patient information of each patient is displayed. The usage status of the alarm system 12 is displayed in the information column of each patient on the standby screen. As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the alarm system 12 is being used in the patient information column for carrying the wireless communication device 13 and being used by the alarm system 12, and the position information can be confirmed. A “rank” indicating that there is a message is displayed.

  When the patient information column on which this “rank” is displayed is selected by touching, a patient information screen for setting the patient information is displayed as shown in FIG. There are a plurality of types of patient information screens, and a screen showing incidental information is displayed. In the item of the current position on the patient information screen, for example, a character display “North ward 7F” indicating the current position that is the staying area of the patient is displayed. Therefore, by confirming the current position, a medical worker or the like can easily confirm the current position of the patient.

(Alarm stop operation)
A standby screen consisting of a list of patient information of each patient is displayed on the large monitor 53 of the nurse call master device 5 (see FIG. 7), and the target patient information column in the standby screen is selected, as shown in FIG. Thus, the screen (personal information 1) which shows personal information in the patient information screen which sets the information of the patient is displayed. On this patient information screen, the item of the building status is displayed. The item in the building status is either blank, which is not displayed, or “in progress”. In the state where alarm notification is normally performed, the entry status item is left blank. The medical worker selects “being opened” when the alarm notification of the target patient is temporarily stopped in the item of the opened state. As described above, when “departing” is selected in the entry status item on the patient information screen, the alarm notification from the alarm system 12 to the target patient is temporarily stopped. When the alarm notification is temporarily stopped, the information column of the target patient is set to a background color different from that in the normal state on the standby screen. For example, in a normal state, a white background color is displayed in pink when temporarily stopped.

  In this way, if the alarm notification is temporarily stopped for the target patient by setting the item in the building status as “departing”, the patient may move to a position outside the non-notification area. No alarm is notified from the alarm system 12. Therefore, notification of unnecessary alarms when a patient is transferred to a non-notification area for examination or surgery is suppressed.

(Alarm temporary stop release operation)
A standby screen consisting of a list of patient information of each patient is displayed on the large monitor 53 of the nurse call master device 5 (see FIG. 7), the target patient information column in this standby screen is selected, and the patient information is selected. The patient information screen (personal information 1) for performing the setting is displayed (see FIG. 10). The medical worker selects a non-display blank when canceling the temporary stop of the alarm notification of the target patient in the item of the ward state. As described above, when a blank is selected in the entry status item on the patient information screen, an alarm can be notified from the alarm system 12 to the target patient. When the temporary stop of the alarm notification is released, the information column of the target patient whose background color is different from the normal state is set as the background color of the normal state on the standby screen. For example, the pink background color is displayed as white in the normal state in the temporary stop state.

  Note that the pause operation for temporarily stopping the alarm notification by the alarm system 12 and the release operation thereof can also be performed by the portable terminal 6 carried by a medical worker.

  As described above, according to the nurse call system 1 according to the present embodiment, the nurse call parent device 5 automatically acquires the alarm setting information set for each patient in the alarm system 12 from the alarm system 12. be able to. Then, the nurse call master unit 5 displays usage information indicating whether or not the alarm system 12 is used on the standby screen that is used routinely by medical personnel to check patient information. Display for each patient. For this reason, it is difficult for the medical staff to forget the operation of canceling the alarm notification at the time of examination, surgery, etc., and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where an unnecessary alarm is notified to the medical staff. it can.

  In addition, the medical staff uses the nurse call master device 5 to check whether the patient's alarm system 12 is used or not, and continuously performs a predetermined operation on the nurse call master device 5 so that the alarm Settings can be made to temporarily stop notifications. For this reason, the convenience of the alarm function is improved.

  In addition, the medical staff can easily visually confirm on the standby screen which patient has been set to stop the alarm notification. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the medical staff to forget to cancel the setting for stopping the alarm notification after the examination or the like is finished.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the temporary stop state of the alarm is canceled by the operation of the medical staff is exemplified. However, the alarm system 12 automatically cancels the temporary stop state of the alarm. May be. For example, when the alarm system 12 detects from the position information of the target patient that the target patient whose alarm has been temporarily stopped has returned to the patient room in the non-notification area after examination or surgery, the alarm system 12 notifies the alarm. The setting for temporarily stopping is automatically canceled. In this way, after the setting for temporarily stopping the alarm notification is performed, an operation for canceling the setting again is not required, and the convenience of the function for temporarily stopping the alarm notification is improved.

  In the above embodiment, when the alarm notification is temporarily stopped, the target patient information field on the standby screen is set to a different background color from the normal state, so that the target patient is displayed. The alarm notification can be identified as a paused state. However, as long as the alarm notification is displayed in a form that can be distinguished from other patients, the notification may be identified not only by the background color but also by a shaded display or hatched display.

  In the present embodiment, the alarm system 12 for notifying the alarm to the nurse call slave unit 2, the nurse call master unit 5 and the portable terminal 6 based on the position information of the patient carrying the wireless communication device 13 is provided. The alarm call function by the system 12 may be provided to the nurse call controller 7.

  The alarm system 12 notifies the alarm to the nurse call slave unit 2, the nurse call master unit 5 and the portable terminal 6 when the patient carrying the wireless communication device 13 moves and moves out of the non-notification area.
