As shown in FIG. 5, in the call information table 101, the patient ID, the number of the hospital room where the patient is hospitalized, the bed number in the hospital room, the name of the nurse in charge, and the number of the portable terminal are associated with each other. It is remembered. Further, the call information table 101 is stored by being divided into a plurality of call information tables according to the working hours of the nurse. In this example, the working hours of the nurses are divided into three time zones of “day shift”, “semi-night shift”, and “night shift”. For this reason, the call information table 101 is stored by being divided into a call information table for a day shift, a call information table for a quasi-night shift, and a call information table for a night shift.
The information in the call information table 101 is input by, for example, a nurse head via a personal computer connected to the second external device 10. Specifically, the call information table 101 includes a patient / nurse information table indicating the correspondence between the patient and the nurse in charge, and a nurse / terminal indicating the correspondence between the nurse and the portable terminal carried by the nurse. It is created in a form that includes an information table and a work information table indicating the nurses and their work status (work hours).

Next, the operation of the nurse call system 1 will be described.
First, an operation when a patient performs a nurse call with the nurse call slave unit 2 will be described.
For example, when there is a nurse call from a patient ("Ichiro Suzuki") who is hospitalized in bed number 1 of room 301 in the medical ward on the third floor, the nurse call system 1 operates as follows.

  A call signal (nurse call signal) for calling a medical worker is transmitted from the nurse call cordless handset 2 to the corridor light 3 via the transmission line L1. The corridor light 3 identifies the nurse call slave unit 2 on which the calling operation has been performed, refers to the patient information stored in the storage unit, and adds the slave unit ID of the identified nurse call slave unit 2 to the calling signal. I do. In this example, the child device ID of the nurse call child device 2 installed on the bed No. 1 in the room 301 is set to “301-1”. The calling signal with the handset ID is transmitted from the corridor lamp 3 to the nurse call controller 6 via the network N.

  The controller CPU 61 of the nurse call controller 6 that has received the calling signal with the handset ID reads the added handset ID and checks the handset ID against the patient information table 65 (see FIG. 3). The controller CPU 61 selects a mobile terminal carried by the patient name “Ichiro Suzuki” and the assigned nurse “Kana Murakami” from the information associated with the child device ID “301-1” in the patient information table 65. Terminal number "3301". Controller CPU 61 adds the selected patient name and terminal number to the call signal, and transmits the call signal to private branch exchange 7.

  The private branch exchange 7 specifies the destination portable terminal 5 based on the received terminal number “3301”. The private branch exchange 7 transmits a call signal to which the patient name “Ichiro Suzuki” is added to the specified portable terminal 5 via the local base station 8.

  At the portable terminal (terminal number “3301”) that has received the call signal with the patient name, a call sound is output, and a call screen indicating that a nurse call is being transmitted from the patient “Ichiro Suzuki” is displayed on the display screen 51. Will be displayed.

  A medical worker “Kana Murakami” possessing a mobile terminal (terminal number “3301”) can talk to the patient “Ichiro Suzuki” who made a nurse call by pressing a call button (not shown) on the call screen. .

  Subsequently, an operation when the information stored in the nurse call controller 6 is updated will be described with reference to flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the second external device 10. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the nurse call controller 6.

  The nurse in charge of the patient is shifted according to working hours as shown in the call information table 101 (see FIG. 5). For this reason, the nurse in charge of each patient and the portable terminal (terminal number) carried by the nurse are managed by the second external device 10 (electronic medical record system). Then, when there is a change in the information of the nurse in charge, the portable terminal, and the like in each working hours, the information in the call information table 101 of the second external device 10 is stored in the second external device 10 as shown in FIG. The information is updated by, for example, a nurse head or the like via the connected personal computer (step S11). The nurse manager may update the information in the call information table 101 at a predetermined timing (for example, once a day), and updates the information in the call information table 101 every time the information of the patient or the nurse changes. You may.

  The second external device 10 transmits the updated information of the call information table 101 to the first external device 9 (management server) via the network N at a predetermined timing (Step S12). The first external device 9 updates the information in the call information table 101 stored in the first external device 9 based on the information transmitted from the second external device 10.

  In the nurse call system 1, the nurse call controller 6 transmits the information stored in the call information table 101 of the first external device 9 from the first external device 9 via the network N at a predetermined timing. It is acquired in the call information table 66 of the storage unit 62 of the nurse call controller 6. The nurse call controller 6 updates the information in the patient information table 65 based on the information obtained in the call information table 66.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the nurse call controller 6 sets a timing for acquiring information of the call information table 101 from the first external device 9 (Step S21). The timing at which the nurse call controller 6 acquires information from the first external device 9 is, for example, once a day (for example, every morning at 8:00), or when switching between work hours, or every hour. It can be set as an arbitrary timing. Subsequently, the nurse call controller 6 determines whether or not the set acquisition timing has come (step S22). When it is determined that the set acquisition timing has come (Yes in step S22), the nurse call controller 6 acquires information stored in the call information table 101 of the first external device 9 (step S23). Subsequently, the nurse call controller 6 collectively collects the information of the call information table of the day shift, the information of the call information table of the quasi-night shift, and the information of the call information table of the night shift, which are stored in the call information table 101. And updates the call information table 66 in the storage unit 62 (step S24). Finally, the nurse call controller 6 selects a corresponding call information table from the updated call information table 66 according to the working hours, and updates the information in the patient information table 65 based on the call information. (Step S25). For example, the nurse call controller 6 updates “nurse name”, “nurse ID”, “terminal number”, and the like in the patient information table 65.

  As described above, the call information table 66 and the patient information table 65 are updated according to each work zone. Therefore, in the nurse call system 1, when there is a nurse call from a patient, the updated patient information table of each work time zone The nurse in charge and the mobile terminal are specified based on the call information 65 and / or the call information table 66, and a call signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the specified nurse in charge.

(First modification)
In the nurse call system 1, the nurse call control device 6 transmits the information stored in the call information table 101 of the first external device 9 from the first external device 9 via the network N when switching work hours. Then, the information of the specific call information table corresponding to the working hours may be acquired, and the call information table 66 of the storage unit 62 of the nurse call controller 6 may be updated.

  More specifically, the nurse call controller 6 acquires the information of the call information table 101 for the day shift from the first external device 9 at the time of switching from the night shift to the day shift, and the call information table of the nurse call controller 6. Update 66. Similarly, the nurse call controller 6 acquires the information of the call information table 101 of the quasi-night shift from the first external device 9 at the timing of switching from the day shift to the quasi-night shift, and updates the call information table 66.

  The nurse call controller 6 updates the information in the patient information table 65 based on the updated information in the call information table 66 for each working hours. Therefore, also in this case, when a nurse call is made from the patient, the nurse in charge and the portable terminal are specified based on the updated patient information table 65 and / or call information table 66 for each working hours, and A call signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the teacher.

(Second modification)
In the nurse call system 1, the nurse call controller 6 communicates with the second external device 10 via the network N from the second external device 10 as an electronic medical record system without passing through the first external device 9 as a management server. The information related to the stored call may be directly obtained, and the call information table 66 of the storage unit 62 may be updated.

  More specifically, the nurse call control device 6 stores information related to the day shift zone call information table 101 stored in the second external device 10, information related to the quasi-night shift zone call information table 101, and night shift zone. The information related to the call information table 101 is collectively acquired, and the call information table 66 in the storage unit 62 is updated. The timing of directly acquiring information from the second external device 10 can be determined, for example, once a day (for example, every morning at 8:00), when switching between work hours, or every hour. . The nurse call controller 6 selects information related to the corresponding call information table 66 from the updated information according to the working hours, and updates the information in the patient information table 65 based on the selected information. . Therefore, also in this case, when there is a nurse call, the nurse in charge and the portable terminal are specified based on the information related to the updated patient information table 65 and / or call information table 66 for each working hours, A call signal is transmitted to the portable terminal of the nurse in charge.

(Third modification)
In the nurse call system 1, the nurse call controller 6 requests the updated information of the call information table 101 to the first external device 9 or the second external device 10 at a predetermined timing, for example, every hour. May be transmitted. When the information of the call information table 101 has been updated, the first external device 9 or the second external device 10 that has received the table request signal directs the updated information of the call information table 101 to the nurse call controller 6. To send. Thereby, in the nurse call controller 6, every time the information of the call information table 101 is updated, the information of the patient information table 65 is updated based on the updated information of the call information table 66 of each working time zone. You. Therefore, when a nurse call is made, the nurse in charge and the portable terminal are specified based on the updated patient information table 65 and / or call information table 66 for each working hours, and A ring signal is transmitted.

(Fourth modification)
When the information of the call information table 101 is updated by the second external device 10, the updated information is transmitted from the second external device 10 to the first external device 9 at a predetermined timing as described above. The updated information may be transmitted to the nurse call controller 6 at any time. Thus, in the nurse call controller 6, every time the information in the call information table 101 is updated, the information in the patient information table 65 is updated based on the updated information in the call information table for each working time zone. Therefore, when there is a nurse call, a call signal is transmitted to the portable terminal of the nurse in charge as described above.

  By the way, in the conventional nurse call system, when there is a change in the working status of the nurse (working time zone) or the portable terminal to be carried, the contents of the change are transmitted from the nurse call system in the nurse call system, for example. Was entered. However, a medical worker (for example, a nurse head) who performs the input work is required to provide nursing care even in an external device other than the nurse call master device, for example, an electronic medical record system in which a medical record (medical record) and a nursing record of a patient are managed. It is necessary to input the work information of the nurse and the correspondence between the nurse and the portable terminal, and the input operation is complicated.

  On the other hand, according to the nurse call system 1 according to the present embodiment, the nurse call controller 6 sends a nurse call from the second external device 10 as an electronic medical record system or the first external device 9 as a management server. The call information table 101 in which the associated call information is stored can be obtained. The call information stored in the call information table 101 includes information of the patient / nurse information table, information of the nurse / terminal information table, and information of the work information table. For this reason, based on the call information associated with the nurse call input or updated in the second external device 10, it is possible to select a specific portable terminal to which a call signal is to be transmitted in accordance with the work status of the nurse, Call control can be performed.

  Further, since the information updated on the second external device 10 side can be used on the nurse call system 1 side, it is not always necessary to manually input update information and the like on the nurse call system 1 side, for example, on the nurse call master unit 4. . That is, the nurse call system 1 can automatically specify the mobile terminal 5 to be called by using the information updated by the second external device 10. Therefore, the work load of the medical staff can be reduced. In addition, not only the nurse call system 1 but also the second external device 10 can input the call information related to the nurse call including the working status of the nurse, so that the work efficiency of the medical staff can be improved. Can be improved.

  When acquiring the information of the call information table 101 from the second external device 10, the nurse call controller 6 calls a plurality of working hours (day shift, quasi-night shift, night shift) at a predetermined timing. The information table 101 is collectively acquired, the call information table 66 is updated, and the corresponding call information table is used according to the working hours. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately switch and use the call information table 66 that changes according to the working hours of the nurse, and to select a specific portable terminal to which a call signal is to be transmitted and perform appropriate call control. Can be.

  When the call information table 101 is obtained from the second external device 10, the nurse call controller 6 obtains the specific call information table 101 corresponding to the work time zone when the work time zone is switched, and obtains the call information table 101. It is also possible to configure so that the table 66 is updated. Even in such a configuration, the call information table 66, which changes according to the working hours of the nurse, can be appropriately switched and used, and a specific portable terminal to which a call signal should be transmitted can be selected. Appropriate call control can be performed.

  It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the call information table 101 is acquired from the first external device 9 (management server). The same effect as in the case of directly acquiring can be obtained.

  Further, a table request signal for requesting information of the updated call information table 101 is transmitted from the nurse call controller 6 to the second external device 10 or the first external device 9 at a predetermined timing. When the information of the call information table 101 is updated, the first external device 10 or the first external device 9 is configured to transmit the updated information to the nurse call controller 6. Therefore, the update of the call information table 101 in the second external device 10 can be used as a trigger to appropriately update and use the call information table 66 used by the nurse call controller 6.

  Further, when the call information table 101 is updated, the second external device 10 transmits the updated information of the call information table 101 to the nurse call controller 6 without a request from the nurse call system 1. It is also possible to configure. Also in the case of such a configuration, the update of the call information table 101 in the second external device 10 can be used as a trigger to appropriately update and use the call information table 66 used in the nurse call controller 6. .
