I have. As the information indicating the reservation status, there are graphic data for attaching a net pattern to the reserved item, a character code indicating reserved, and the like.

[3] Operation of Apparatus The procedure of the reservation process in this apparatus will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, the processing device (CPU 1) of the present invention determines a time slot during which a device can be reserved by securing a laboratory technician who can operate the medical test device from among the time slots available for the medical test device (reservation). Frame determination processing). Then, the device for which the reservation has been input is reserved in the reservable time zone (reservation process).
In this reservation processing, reservation of medical examination equipment necessary for general outpatient examination and reservation of a medical examination course are given as input data.

[3-1] Reservation Frame Determination Processing Referring to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9. In this process, a reservable time zone in one day of the medical examination device is set. First, in step S1, the use start time and the use end time (available time zone) of the current day are read from the use date and time file of a certain medical test device, and the highest priority test is performed from the device file of the medical test device. The technician's name is read out, and the workable time zone is read out from the technician file of the inspection technician's name.

For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the read time zone in which the medical test equipment can be used and the time zone in which the laboratory technician can work are stored in the respective files in units of one hour. For example, 9: 00-10: 00, 10: 00-11: 00
, ..., 16: 00-17: 00. The leading number of the available time is represented by i, the time period during which the medical examination equipment can be used is represented by THi, and the time period during which the laboratory technician can work is represented by MHi, and matching between THi and MHi is performed. Then, the laboratory technician (the technician with the highest priority) is assigned to a time zone in which the matched medical test equipment can be used.

In step S2, it is determined whether or not the already set information is already registered in the storage location of the assigned technician file of the inspection technician in the workable time zone. If the set information has been registered, the process jumps to step S5, and determines whether or not an inspection technician of the next priority exists from the device file, and if there is, proceeds to step S6. The engineer of the next rank is assigned (the same processing as in step S1), and the process returns to step S2.

In this loop processing, all technicians are assigned, and if all technicians are already set, it is determined that no technician has been assigned (temporary setting information is not registered in step S4 described later). Then, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S9, and the time zone is processed as non-reservable. If it is determined in step S2 that the set information has not been registered, the next step S3
Proceed to.

In step S3, the total work time of each of the assigned laboratory technicians in each time zone is calculated, and the average work time in each of the time zones (the setting of registered in the technician file of each laboratory technician is registered. The average work time is calculated and compared to determine whether the total work time is longer than the average work time. If it is determined that the total work time is less than the average work time, the process jumps to step S10, where the set information is registered in the storage location of the corresponding technician file in the corresponding time zone, and the time zone (reservable time zone and ) And the name of the laboratory technician are registered in the corresponding item of the device reservation file (determination of a reservation frame).

If it is determined that the total work time is longer than the average work time, the process proceeds to step S4, where temporary setting information is registered in a technician file for that time zone, and the time zone (reservable time zone) and the inspection are checked. The technician name is temporarily registered in the corresponding item of the device reservation file. This indicates that it may be updated in a later process. continue,
Proceeding to step S5, it is determined whether there is a next-level technician who can operate the medical examination device. If there is, the procedure goes to step S6 and a next-level technician is registered in the time zone in which the temporary setting information is registered. Then, the process returns to step S2.

If the time zone of the next-ranked laboratory technician is not set (if it is vacant), the process proceeds to step S3 and the total working time of the next-level laboratory technician when the second-level laboratory technician is assigned and the average The work times are compared to determine whether the total work time is longer than the average work time. If it is determined that the number is small, the process jumps to step S10 to register the set information in the next-level technician file of the time zone, and to register the time zone and the name of the next-level technician in the corresponding item of the equipment reservation file I do. That is, the name of the laboratory technician registered temporarily in step S4 is deleted from the device reservation file, and the name of the next laboratory technician is newly registered.
Also, the temporary setting information registered in the corresponding time zone of the deleted technician is deleted.

By performing such processing, adjustment is made to equalize the workload of the laboratory technician. If there is no substitute laboratory technician, a reservation frame is determined based on the laboratory technician name temporarily registered in step S4 (steps S7 and S8).

After the reservation frame is determined by the above series of processing, it is determined in step S11 whether or not the processing for determining the reservation time zone for all the medical examination devices has been completed.
And the process of determining a reservation frame for the next medical examination device is repeated.

[3-2] Reservation Processing for Medical Examination Equipment Required for General Outpatient Examination First, information for making a reservation is input from the keyboard 2 of the computer terminal 4. The information includes (a) the test device number of the medical test device to be reserved, (b) the date when the test device is used, (c) the required test time, and (d) the time period for which the reservation is desired (the desired start time and (Specified by desired end time). Upon inputting the information, the CPU 1 proceeds with the process according to the flowchart of FIG.

The device reservation file of the input use date is read, and it is checked whether a reservable time zone is set within the input desired reservation time zone. A band is searched (step T1, step T2). As a result of the search, if the corresponding time zone is not found (if the reservable time zone is not set within the desired reservation time zone), the process proceeds to step T10, where the reservation table format (information indicating the reservation status is later provided). (Stored in the processing) is displayed on the monitor display 3 of the computer terminal 4 to prompt the user to set a new desired reservation time zone. If there is a corresponding time zone, the process proceeds to step T3.

In step T3, the required inspection time input above is added to the start time of the searched reservable time zone to calculate an inspection end time. Then, in step T4, it is determined whether the calculated inspection end time is within the reservable time slot. For example, (1) the time period for which a reservation is desired is from 10:00 to 12:00, and a 30-minute inspection time is to be reserved in this time period. Reservable time from 10:00 to 11:00 and 11:00 to 10:00
If the reservation time zone of 12:00 is set, 10:00
A searchable time zone from 11:00 to 11:00 is searched, and a required inspection time of 30 minutes is added to this start time of 10:00. Then, it is determined whether or not 10:30 is within the searched reservable time slot. In this example, it is determined to be present, and the process proceeds to the next step T5.

In step T5, it is determined whether the calculated inspection end time is within a desired time zone. For example, in the example of (1) above, if the required inspection time is one and a half hours and the searched reservable time zone is 11:00 to 13:00, the calculated inspection end time 12:00 is It is within the reservation available time, but not within the desired time. In such a case, the process proceeds to step T10, and the reservation status table is displayed as described above. If the inspection end time is within the reservable time zone and the desired time zone, the process proceeds to step T6.

In step T6, the start time and the calculated inspection end time of the retrievable time zone searched above are stored in the items of the reservation start time and the reservation end time of the device reservation file, and are also stored in the reservation status table format. Also store that information.

As another example, (2) the desired reservation time zone is from 10:00 to 12:00, the required inspection time is one and a half hours, and the searched reservable time zone is from 11:00 to 12:00. If it is, 12:30 which added one and a half hours to the start time that can be reserved
Is calculated, and it is determined that this time is not a determination as to whether or not the time is within the reservable time zone, and step T4 is performed.
From step T7.

In step T7, a search is made as to whether a reservable time zone has been set after the inspection end time. the above
In the example of (2), a search is made for a reservable time zone after 12:30. If it is determined in step T8 that there is no applicable reservable time zone, the process proceeds to step T10 to display a reservation status table. If there is a reservable time zone, the process proceeds to step T9.

In step T9, the start time of the searched reservable time zone is replaced with the "earliest time" in steps T1 and T2, and the process returns to step T3.
Then, the processes of steps T3, T4, and T5 are executed, and if the inspection end time is within the retrievable time zone searched here and within the desired time zone, the process of step T6 is executed. In other words, the processes of steps T3 to T5 are performed not for the earliest reserved time zone but for the next earliest reserved time zone.

[3-3] Reservation Process for Medical Examination Equipment Required for Medical Examination Course First, information for making a reservation is input from the keyboard 2 of the computer terminal 4. The information includes (a) the number of the medical examination course to be reserved, and (b) the date on which the medical examination course is reserved. Upon inputting the information, the CPU 1 proceeds with the process according to the flowchart of FIG.

In step U1, first, a medical examination file corresponding to the medical examination course number input above is read, and the device group number stored in the file is read. Then, the device group file corresponding to the read device group number is read, and the medical examination device number stored in the file is read. Next, among the read medical examination devices, a device for which reservation has not been set yet is searched.

In step U2, the desired time zone for using the device stored in the medical examination file is read out for the unset medical test device first searched above, and the process proceeds to step U3 and thereafter. The processing after step U3 is the same as the processing after step T1 in the flowchart of FIG. 10 showing the [3-2] reservation processing of medical examination equipment necessary for general outpatient examination, and will be briefly described below. .

That is, (a) the device reservation file of the medical examination device corresponding to the inputted reservation date is read, and the earliest reservable time period of the medical examination device within the read desired time period is searched. I do. (B) Add the required inspection time to the start time of the searched reservable time zone to calculate the inspection end time, and if the inspection end time is within the reservable time zone and within the desired time zone, The start time of the reservation start time zone is set as the reservation start time, the inspection end time is set as the reservation end time in the corresponding item of the device file, and the information indicating that the reservation has been made is registered in the reservation table format. (Steps U3-U
8). This is because, in the case of a medical examination course, it is necessary to make reservations for all medical test equipment, and if even one cannot be reserved, it will be impossible to make a reservation for the medical examination course itself,
In step U13, provisional reservation is made until the reservation of necessary equipment is completed.

(C) The above series of processes is a process for determining whether or not to make a reservation in the earliest reservable time zone searched within the desired time zone. If the examination end time exceeds the reservable time zone in the processing of (b), the next earlier reserved time zone (this is referred to as a second reserved time zone) is searched, and the second reserved time zone is searched. The required inspection time is added to the start time of the time zone, that is, the second inspection end time is calculated. If the second inspection end time is within the desired time zone,
A temporary reservation is made in the second reservation time zone (steps U9 to U1).
1)

(D) If there is no examination end time within the desired time zone, the process proceeds to step U12, and the monitor display 3 indicates that the medical examination course cannot be reserved. If there is an inspection end time in the desired interval, step U13
It is determined whether or not the reservation of all necessary devices has been completed, and the processing of this flowchart is repeated. Upon completion, the reservation of the medical examination course is determined based on the reservation time temporarily registered in step U8 (step U14).

[0041]

As is clear from the above description, according to the apparatus of the first invention, the time zone to which the laboratory technician can be allocated can be reserved among the time zones available for the medical examination equipment. The medical test equipment is reserved during that time, so there is always a laboratory technician who operates the medical test equipment during the reserved time of the medical test equipment. Device reservations can be made. Further, according to the device of the second invention, the use time of each medical examination device required for the medical examination course is compared with the time period available for each medical examination device, and the reservation of the medical examination course is made. Since it is performed, it is possible to make a reservation for the medical examination course without any trouble such as the equipment used in the medical examination course being used in an outpatient examination.
