  However, since the patrol by the nurse is not performed every day at the precisely determined time, the hospitalized patient can not know when the patrol of the nurse will be performed, and when the nurse patrols the hospital room, the hospitalized patient can I could have been absent. When the hospitalized patient is absent, the nurse has to go to the hospital room of the hospitalized patient room again later, which has been a burden of nursing work.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a nurse call system capable of notifying an inpatient that the patrol by the nurse in charge has been started.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned subject, the present inventor proposes the following nurse call system.

The nurse call system according to the present invention includes a nurse call machine provided in each bed of a hospital room for a hospitalized patient to call a nurse, and a nurse station installed at a nurse station for responding to calls from the nurse call machine. Between the call master unit and the nurse call unit, a plate slave unit installed near the bed in the patient room, a bedside monitor equipped for each bed in the patient room and able to display patient related information, and equipment In order to answer a call from a nurse call slave unit connected to a control unit for controlling calls and communications, a control unit, a PBX having a mobile telephone exchange connection function, and a base station having a mobile telephone radio transmission / reception function And a plurality of nurse's mobile phones carried by nurses, and a plurality of inpatient's mobile phones carried by inpatients. While this nurse call system is provided with a position information transmitter for wireless transmission of a position signal at an appropriate place in a hospital ward, and has a position management server for storing position information of the nurse's mobile phone, The mobile phone for nurses is provided with a position information communication unit that receives the position signal transmitted by the position information transmitter, adds its own ID to the position signal and transmits it, and the position management server performs individual nursing care. A mobile phone table storage unit for nurses associating a nurse with a mobile phone for nurses in addition to a mobile phone position storage unit for nurses that stores location information received from a master mobile phone, and a nurse and hospitalization In-charge nurse table storage unit that associates patients, in-patient table storage unit that associates in-patients and nurse call child machines, and bed position storage unit that stores the position of each nurse call child machine And a distance measuring unit that measures the distance between the nurse's mobile phone and the nurse call child machine and sequentially selects hospitalized patients that satisfy predetermined conditions including the distance, and the nurse's mobile phone includes: A patrol start button is provided, and when the patrol start operation is performed from the nurse mobile phone, the control device satisfies a predetermined condition based on the position information of the nurse mobile phone in the position management server. The hospital patient is sequentially selected, and a patrol start signal is transmitted to at least one of the bedside monitor of the hospitalized patient selected by the position management server, the nurse call slave unit, the plate slave unit and the inpatient portable telephone, The device that has received the start signal is configured to execute control for notifying that the patrol has been started.
According to the nurse call system having such a configuration, when the patrol start operation is performed from the nurse's mobile phone, the bedside monitor of the hospitalized patient selected by the position management server, the nurse call slave unit, the plate slave unit, Since the patrol start signal is transmitted to at least one device of the in-patient portable telephones and the device that receives the patrol start signal is configured to execute control to notify that the patrol has been started, The hospitalized patient can be informed that the patrol by the teacher has been started. As a result, the hospitalized patient can take measures to prepare for the patrol, for example, not leaving the hospital room, and when the nurse patrols the hospital room, the possibility that the hospitalized patient is absent can be reduced. The efficiency of the
In addition, since the start of the patrol is notified to the hospitalized patient in advance, the patient is not patrolled suddenly, and the privacy of the hospitalized patient can be improved.

The distance measurement unit of the position management server may be configured to sequentially select hospitalized patients that satisfy predetermined conditions including the distance.
For example, the distance measurement unit selects an inpatient associated with the nurse's cell phone for which the patrol start operation has been performed from the nurse's cell phone table storage unit and the nurse table in charge, and selects the inpatient. Among them, a configuration may be adopted in which inpatients whose distance between the nurse call child machine and the nurse's mobile phone is within a predetermined first distance are sequentially selected.

With such a configuration, the distance between the nurse call child machine and the nurse's mobile phone is measured based on the actual distance until the nurse reaches the position of the nurse call child machine, and the inpatients are sequentially ordered. Hospitality associated with a nurse call handset that does not meet the predetermined conditions at the actual distance or is further than the predetermined first distance, such as near the upper floor or lower floor even though the linear distance is close to select The patient can be prevented from being selected.

The nurse call system according to the present invention further includes a room camera capable of imaging a hospitalized patient on a bed, and an image analysis unit capable of detecting a bed-out state in which the hospitalized patient is not present from the bed based on a captured image of the hospital room camera. The controller starts the patrol start operation by the nurse's mobile phone of the nurse associated with the hospitalized patient while the video analyzing unit detects the bed leaving state, and the bed leaving state is detected. When a certain inpatient is selected by the position management server, control may be performed to transmit a patrol start signal to the inpatient's in-patient cell phone.
According to the nurse call system having such a configuration, when the hospitalized patient selected by the location management server is not in the bed, the patrol start signal is transmitted to the inpatient patient's mobile phone of the hospitalized patient. Even when carrying out the inpatient mobile phone, it can be notified that the patrol has been started. In this way, the hospitalized patient can take measures to prepare for the patrol, such as returning to the hospital room.

The distance measuring unit selects a hospitalized patient within the first distance, and then the predetermined distance between the nurse call child machine of the selected hospitalized patient and the nurse's mobile phone is shorter than the first distance. When the distance is within the two distance, the control device is notified of the hospitalized patient who is within the second distance, and the control device further transmits the approach notification signal to the device of the hospitalized patient and the device which receives the approach notification signal May be configured to execute control to notify that a nurse will visit a hospital room shortly.
According to the nurse call system having such a configuration, the inpatient can be notified that the nurse will visit the hospital room soon, so that the inpatient can take further measures such as preparation for the patrol, such as not getting out of bed. .

When the control device receives a notification of a hospitalized patient who is within the second distance from the position management server while the video analysis unit detects that the patient is in the bed, an approach notification signal is sent to the inpatient patient's mobile phone of the hospitalized patient. It is good also as composition which performs control which transmits.
With such a configuration, when the hospitalized patient is not in the bed, an approach notification signal is transmitted to the hospitalized patient's mobile phone of the hospitalized patient, and the hospitalized patient goes out with the hospitalized patient's mobile phone. If you are, you can be notified that a nurse will visit your room shortly. In this way, the hospitalized patient can quickly take measures such as returning to the hospital room in preparation for the patrol.

The control device matches the position information of the nurse's mobile phone to the device that sent the approach notification signal and sends it, and the device that received the approach notification signal and the position information of the nurse's mobile phone is the nurse's mobile phone. It is good also as composition which performs control which reports position of.
According to the nurse call system of such a configuration, the inpatient can know the specific current position of the nurse.

An electronic lock is attached to the door of the patient's room, and the control device unlocks the electronic lock when the distance between the nurse's cell phone and the nurse call child machine is within a predetermined third distance. It is good also as composition which performs control.

The examination of hospitalized patients, schedule information such as surgery, and the mobile phone information of the in-patient mobile phone 10 owned by the patient are stored. These pieces of information are input by operating the nurse call master 7.

The nurse mobile phone 9 and the inpatient mobile phone 10 are multifunctional terminals having a mobile phone function, and can install and use predetermined application software in a device called a smartphone, for example.
The nurse's mobile phone 9 can respond to a call from the nurse call handset 1 or the like. Further, as described later, the in-patient mobile phone 10 can receive a patrol start signal indicating that patrol by the assigned nurse has been started, as described later.
Since the nurse's mobile phone 9 constitutes a location specification system together with the IMES transmitter 16 and the location management server 14, the nurse's mobile phone 9 receives GPS satellite radio waves and identifies its own location, A device incorporating a GPS communication unit (not shown) is used which transmits its own ID by adding it to the specified position information.
As shown in FIG. 8, the nurse's mobile phone 9 includes a display unit 51 formed of a touch panel, and displays the patrol start button 51 a on the display unit 51 by a predetermined operation by the nurse.
When the patrol start button 51a is touched, as shown in FIG. 9, the nurse mobile phone 9 displays the patrol end button 51b on the display unit 51. In addition, an operation described later accompanying the start of the patrol will be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the position management server 14 stores a nurse's mobile phone position storage unit 81 that stores the position of each nurse's mobile phone 9, and a nurse's mobile phone 9 carried by a nurse and the nurse. A mobile phone / nurse related table (mobile phone table storage unit for nurses) 82 associated with each other, a nurse / inpatient related table (charged nurse table storage unit) 83 associated with nurses and hospitalized patients, with hospitalized patients An inpatient / nurse call cordless handset related table (inpatient patient table storage unit) 84 associated with a nurse call charge cordless handset, a bed position storage unit 85 for storing the position (bed position) of each nurse call charge cordless handset in the ward; The map information storage unit 86 for calculating the distance, the update control of the position information of the nurse's mobile phone 9, and the inpatient selection control for transmitting the patrol start signal, and further, And a server communication IF88 to communicate with other devices such as the server CPU 87, and the controller 8 controls the entire location management server 14.

The IMES transmitter 16 is installed at an appropriate site in a hospital ward or hospital, for example, each hospital room, nurse station, operating room, waiting room, lounge, hallway, etc., and its own position information is the same radio wave format as GPS radio waves. It is constantly delivered using wireless signals.
Then, the GPS communication unit built in the nurse's mobile phone 9 receives the position information distributed by the nearby IMES transmitter 16 among the IMES transmitters 16, grasps its position, and adds an ID. The position information thus obtained is periodically transmitted to the position management server 14. The position information transmitted by the nurse's mobile phone 9 is received by the base station 12 as in the case of a normal call signal, transmitted to the position management server 14 via the exchange 11 and the LAN 18, and stored. Thus, a position specifying system for grasping the current position of the nurse's mobile phone 9 is constructed.
When the nurse call from the nurse call child machine 1 is made, the controller 8 causes the position management server 14 to make a call by referring to the mobile phone / nurse related table 82 and the nurse / inpatient related table 83. Among the nurses associated with the inpatient who made the call, a nurse close to the location of the nurse call child machine 1 of the inpatient is selected, and the nurse's mobile phone 9 is notified of the call.

  The common part camera 15 is appropriately provided in a common part in a hospital ward or hospital, for example, a corridor on each floor, a waiting room, and a common room. The image picked up by the common part camera 15 can be displayed on the parent device monitor 64 by operating the operation part 66 of the nurse call parent device 7.

The operation of the nurse call system A configured as described above will be described below.
However, nurse call from nurse call child machine 1, ringing operation of nurse call master machine 7 or mobile phone 9 for nurses who received the call, response operation by nurse call master machine 7 or nurse mobile phone 9 Is the same as the conventional one, and therefore the description thereof is omitted. Here, the operation when the nurse performs the patrol start operation from the nurse's mobile phone 9 will be described. Here, it is assumed that the patrol start signal is normally set to be transmitted to the bedside monitor 3.
As described above, the position information of each nurse's mobile phone 9 is periodically transmitted to the position management server 14, and the data of the nurse's mobile phone position storage unit 81 is the latest data under the control of the server CPU 87. It is rewritten and saved.
Further, it is assumed that the hospital room camera 5 is always operating.

  When the nurse who intends to start the patrol touches the patrol start button 51a of the nurse mobile phone 9, the controller 8 causes the position management server 14 to sequentially select the inpatients to which the patrol start signal is to be transmitted.

  The position management server 14 carries out the following control to sequentially select hospitalized patients who satisfy predetermined conditions set in advance based on the position information of the nurse's mobile phone 9 of the nurse who performed the patrol start operation. And notify the controller 8 of the hospitalized patients selected sequentially. Here, as a predetermined condition, among hospitalized patients in charge of a nurse who has performed a patrol start operation, hospitalized patients in which the distance between the nurse and the nurse call child device 1 of the hospitalized patient is within 20 meters are sequentially The case of selection will be described.

The server CPU 87 refers to the mobile phone / nurse related table 82 and the nurse / inpatient related table 83 and identifies the nurse mobile phone 9 from the mobile phone ID information received from the controller 8 and the nurse The nurse associated with the mobile phone 9 is identified, and the hospitalized patient associated with the nurse is read out.
Then, each nurse call of the hospitalized patient read out based on the nurse's mobile phone position storage unit 81, the inpatient / nurse call child machine related table 84, the bed position storage unit 85 and the map information storage unit 86. Read the position of the handset 1 (bed), select the hospitalized patient associated with the nurse call handset 1 whose distance on the flow line is within 20 meters from the position of the nurse's mobile phone 9, select the controller 8 Send.
The selection of the hospitalized patient is sequentially performed based on the latest data of the nurse mobile phone position storage unit 81 until the circulation end button 51b of the nurse mobile phone 9 is touched.

When an in-patient is selected by the position management server 14, the controller 8 determines whether the out-of-bed state of the in-patient is detected by the image analysis unit of the hospital camera 5 of the in-patient.
When the bed leaving state is not detected, the controller 8 transmits a patrol start signal to the bedside monitor 3 of the inpatient.
On the other hand, when the bed leaving state is detected, the controller 8 reads the in-patient's cellular phone information 10 from the patient related information storage unit 71a, and transmits a patrol start signal to the in-patient's in-patient cellular phone 10. Do.
The bedside monitor 3 or the in-patient mobile phone 10 having received the patrol start signal performs control to notify that the patrol has been started. Specifically, a message indicating that the patrol has been started is displayed on the bedside monitor 3 or the in-patient mobile phone 10, such as "the patrol by the nurse has been started."
In the present embodiment, the notification of the start of circulation is configured by displaying a message, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the location may be notified by voice from the speaker 35 or the like together with the display of the message. The position may be notified only by voice.

The server CPU 87 of the position management server 14 sequentially selects hospitalized patients within 20 meters based on the position information of the nurse's mobile phone 9 that has performed the patrol start operation, and transmits a patrol start signal. If the distance between the nurse call child machine 1 for this selected inpatient and the nurse's mobile phone 9 becomes even closer to 10 meters after this, the inpatient for the inpatient and nurse for 10 meters becomes Control is performed to transmit current position information of the telephone 9 to the controller 8.
This control is also sequentially performed based on the latest data of the nurse mobile phone position storage unit 81 until the patrol end button 51b of the nurse mobile phone 9 is touched.

When an inpatient is selected by the position management server 14, the controller 8 transmits an approach notification signal to the inpatient's bedside monitor 3 together with position information of the nurse's mobile phone 9.
The bedside monitor 3 receiving the approach notification signal performs control to display the current position of the nurse and control to notify that the nurse will visit soon. Specifically, the bedside monitor 3 displays a message notifying that the nurse will visit soon, such as “Soon the nurse will come to the patrol in the hospital room”, along with the nurse's current position.
The display of the current position of the nurse may be displayed based on a map of the hospital, or a specific room number may be displayed.
The notification to the hospitalized patient that the nurse visits may be configured to notify the position by voice from the speaker 35 together with the display of a message, for example, or may be configured to notify the position only by voice.

  In addition, the controller 8 executes control to unlock the electronic lock 4 when the distance between the nurse's mobile phone 9 and the nurse call child device 1 is within 5 meters.

  The above operation ends when the patrol by the nurse is finished and the patrol end button 51b of the nurse mobile phone 9 is touched.

As described above, according to the nurse call system A of the present embodiment, when the patrol start operation is performed from the nurse's mobile phone 9, the controller 8 controls the bedside of the hospitalized patient selected by the position management server 14. Since the bedside monitor 3 that transmits the patrol start signal to the monitor 3 and receives the patrol start signal is configured to execute control to notify that the patrol has started, patrol by the nurse in charge is started. Can be notified to hospitalized patients. As a result, the hospitalized patient can take measures to prepare for the patrol, for example, not leaving the hospital room, and when the nurse patrols the hospital room, the possibility that the hospitalized patient is absent can be reduced. The efficiency of the
In addition, since the start of the patrol is notified to the hospitalized patient in advance, the patient is not patrolled suddenly, and the privacy of the hospitalized patient can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the position management server 14 determines that the distance between the nurse and the nurse call child device 1 of the inpatient is 20 meters or less among the inpatients who are in charge of the nurse who has performed the patrol start operation. The present invention is configured to sequentially select hospitalized patients, but the present invention is not limited to this, as long as it is configured to sequentially select hospitalized patients that satisfy predetermined conditions including a distance set in advance.
For example, among hospitalized patients who are in charge of a nurse who has performed a patrol start operation, a configuration in which hospitalized patients in which the distance between the nurse and the nurse call child device 1 of the hospitalized patient is within a predetermined first distance is sequentially selected It can be done.
The patrol by nurses will be conducted sequentially from the inpatients in charge of their own, but because there are many hospitalized patients in charge to measure and question the vitality of each inpatient, by the time the patrol of nurses is over Takes a considerable amount of time. For this reason, when a nurse performs a patrol start operation, when notifying that all the inpatients who are in charge of the nurse have started patrol at the same time, inpatients in distant room where the patrol order is late are patrolled. It may be a long time to wait for a tour after being notified that it has been started. Under such circumstances, hospitalized patients are notified of the start of the patrol by appropriately setting the predetermined first distance in consideration of the number of hospitalized patients in charge of the nurse and the time required for the patrol of each hospitalized patient. You can avoid waiting for a long time after being done. On the other hand, when the patrol can be performed relatively quickly, as in the case where there are few hospitalized patients in charge of nurses or when a plurality of nurses perform patrols, the first predetermined distance is set longer. May be

  In addition, the position management server 14 measures the distance between the nurse call child device 1 and the nurse's mobile phone 9 based on the actual distance until the nurse reaches the position of the nurse call child device 1 and is admitted to the hospital. In order to select patients one by one, it is possible to select an inpatient that is associated with Nurse Call child machine 1 which is located on the upper floor or the lower floor even if the linear distance is close, and the actual distance is more than 20 meters. It can be prevented.

  Furthermore, when the hospitalized patient selected by the position management server 14 is not in the bed, the patrol start signal is transmitted to the hospitalized patient mobile phone 10 of the hospitalized patient, and the hospitalized patient carries the hospitalized patient mobile phone 10 If the patient is out, it can be notified that the patrol has started even if the hospitalized patient is absent in the room. In this way, the hospitalized patient can take measures to prepare for the patrol, such as returning to the hospital room.

  Further, according to the nurse call system A of the present embodiment, after the location management server 14 selects a hospitalized patient within 20 meters, the nurse call slave machine 1 of this selected hospitalized patient and the mobile phone for a nurse When the distance between 9 and 10 becomes closer within 10 meters, the hospitalized patient within 10 meters is notified to the controller 8, and the control device 8 further approaches the bedside monitor 3 of this hospitalized patient. Since the bedside monitor 3 which has sent the notification signal and received the approach notification signal is configured to execute control to notify that the nurse will visit the hospital room shortly, the nurse should visit the hospital room soon Can be notified to hospitalized patients, and hospitalized patients can take further measures for patrol, such as not getting out of bed.

  Further, in the nurse call system A of the present embodiment, the controller 8 transmits the approach notification signal to the bedside monitor 3 together with the position information of the nurse's mobile phone 9 and transmits it. Since the bedside monitor 3 that has received these is configured to execute control to report the position of the nurse's mobile phone 9, the hospitalized patient can know the specific current position of the nurse.

The controller 8 may be configured to determine whether the moving-out state of the in-patient is detected by the video analysis unit when the in-patient with 10 meters is selected by the position management server.
Then, when the bed leaving state is not detected, the controller 8 transmits an approach notification signal to the bedside monitor 3 of the inpatient, and when the bed leaving state is detected, the cellular phone information 10 of the inpatient. Are read from the patient related information storage unit 71a, and control is performed to transmit an approach notification signal to the inpatient patient mobile phone 10 of the inpatient.
As described above, the bedside monitor 3 or the in-patient mobile phone 10 receiving the approach notification signal performs control to display the current position of the nurse and control to notify that the nurse will visit.
According to such a configuration, when the hospitalized patient is not in the bed, the approach notification signal is transmitted to the hospitalized patient's mobile phone 10 of the hospitalized patient, and the hospitalized patient carries the hospitalized patient's mobile phone 10 If you are out, you can be informed that a nurse will soon visit your room. In this way, the hospitalized patient can quickly take measures such as returning to the hospital room in preparation for the patrol.

Further, according to the nurse call system A of the present embodiment, when the distance between the nurse's mobile phone 9 and the nurse call child device 1 becomes within 5 meters set in advance, the controller 8 makes the electronic Since the control for unlocking the lock 4 is executed, the electronic lock 4 in the hospital room where the hospitalized patient in charge of the visiting nurse is in charge is automatically unlocked.
