Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a dental care system and a dental care facility.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The environment surrounding the conventional medical industry, especially the dental clinic, can be analyzed from three points. From the business environment, which is the first environment, it is possible to point out the severe competition of dental clinics. At present, the number of locations per dental clinic area is about 2.2 times that of a convenience store, which is extremely competitive. As 3,000 dentists are born annually, the increase in the supply of dentists will not stop, so the weakening of the supply side against the demand of dentists and even patients in the dental office In an inevitable situation.
[0003]
In addition, the dentistry patient market has matured due to the halt of population growth, and the profit margin has declined, and there is a concern that technology and industry will stagnate due to restrained capital investment in dental related stores.
[0004]
In the profit environment, which is the second environment, the effects of changes in insurance premiums and medical fees are pointed out. In other words, the increase in the partial patient contribution due to the reform of the insurance medical system puts pressure on patient households and lowers the visit rate.
[0005]
Furthermore, the review of medical fees has led to a substantial decline in sales for clinics. In addition, the burden of nursing care insurance and the review of the pension system have continued to increase the psychological burden on patients.
[0006]
The impact of deregulation, the third environment, cannot be ignored. For example, regulations on hospital advertising are expected to be relaxed, and differentiation competition based on image strategy including brand development and market development through advertising will be started.
[0007]
With the entry of medical management by the corporation, it is expected that the wave of the improvement of management efficiency of the medical industry will surely increase the factors that require management ability in the success or failure of the medical industry. Traditional dental clinics are virtually private stores, and the introduction of competitive principles has a very significant impact.
[0008]
Dental clinics that develop new businesses have emerged as a way to deal with these environments. It is a dental clinic dedicated to dental care.
[0009]
The dental care specialized in dental care is managed as a branch office as a basic store opening form. In addition, dentists are stationed by medical law. The signboard of this clinic shows only the name of a stylish shop, and at first glance, it looks like an atmosphere that cannot be imagined as a dental clinic.
[0010]
The service is specialized in care such as cleaning, and does not provide insurance treatment. This is thought to be due to the reduction of store opening costs by restraining capital investment and the creation of strengths by specialized stores.
[0011]
In addition, dental clinics specializing in dental care mainly focus on free medical care that does not apply health insurance. In other words, according to the provisions of the Medical Law, clinics that apply health insurance need to register the endings of their names as `` dental clinics '', but if health insurance is not applicable, there is no such need. is there.
[0012]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when it was just a dental clinic dedicated to dental care, there was no place for dentists to demonstrate their technical capabilities, and it was difficult to maintain motivation for business continuity. This has led to a decline in the retention rate of dentists in dental clinics dedicated to dental care.
[0013]
Moreover, the burden on salaries for doctors is high, and this is a factor that increases fixed costs in the management of dental clinics dedicated to dental care.
[0014]
In addition, since there is no dental treatment, the service is less linked to each other, which is less likely to lead to profitability and the value chain is less.
[0015]
In other words, at present, dental clinics dedicated to dental care have not introduced enough customers to absorb fixed costs such as salaries for doctors.
[0016]
In addition, psychological price setting, that is, the actual treatment price and the treatment price expected by the customer are in a state of divergence, and the demand is not materialized.
[0017]
Furthermore, the awareness of the store name, service content, and service value is low.
[0018]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a dental care system and a dental care facility capable of improving sales and quality of service while achieving both dental care and dental care.
[0019]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0037]
(1) Business overview
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention creates the following business and configures a system and a facility to achieve this business. Businesses are described to clarify the philosophical background of these systems and facilities.
[0038]
This business consists of a concept, three visions, business core competencies, and four keyword value chains.
[0039]
First, this concept is a medical service business that provides health maintenance / promotion based on preventive medicine. There are two backgrounds to this concept. First, health (body) always has a beautiful shape. In other words, this belief focuses on pursuing “beauty” from the essence. Secondly, the source of health (body) is in the teeth, spinal cord, and feet. For this reason, we will finally aim for a full-line medical business.
[0040]
Next, the three visions are management vision, service vision, and international perspective.
[0041]
The content of the management vision is to set the medium-term management goal to achieve medical management by a corporation and aim for a public offering. In other words, the entry into the medical business by a corporation is inevitable from the environment surrounding the recent medical management and medical insurance systems. However, this is a great business opportunity and a big business market.
[0042]
The value that the business provides as a service vision in the medical services market is outstanding medical services and constant technical quality improvement. Also, industry-leading and extensive services in medical personnel education (clinical) based on a sound financial structure, development of medical business software, research and development of equipment and equipment incorporating state-of-the-art technology, and accompanying service operations Aiming to become a corporate entity that provides
[0043]
As an international perspective, this business aims to develop business not only in Japan but also in the world. We will actively promote joint research and development of medical technology in developed countries and provide medical technology and volunteer activities to developing countries to establish a world-leading company.
[0044]
Examining the business competence and its value chain, the business competence is in the implementation of an organization with dental hygienists as core members (Figure 1). The four values of value chain are the first is the provision of preventive medicine through oral cleaning, the second is the elimination of price barriers through insurance-applied medical care, the third is low-cost operations through the development of multiple stores, Fourth is the introduction of strategic customer strategy through brand marketing.
[0045]
Here, dental hygienists are core staff, and the use of dental hygienists is the key factor for the operation of this dental clinic. Highly skilled dental hygienists have a high "salary" (age) burden, and are not connected to effective human resource utilization at the current clinic. Therefore, in this business, it is important to position it as the core staff of the store, introduce a talented dental hygienist, implement human resource activation measures with reference to growing companies, and train as a producer on the front line of dental care It is.
[0046]
Intraoral cleaning, which is the first value, is the one in which dental hygienists have the initiative to work on services that require high technology. An unprecedented combination can be provided through the value chain from oral cleaning and insurance-based medical care. Oral cleaning, which is a core service, requires fairly advanced technology and delicateness. However, at present, there are variations in the technical quality of dental hygienists or clinics, and there are few medical institutions that actively provide them. Keeping the oral cavity clean is what is necessary for health and is the original beauty. Compared with Europe and the United States, the need for oral cleaning in Japan is high, and the demand is gradually emerging. Providing preventive medicine is a high-value business such as a social mission.
[0047]
Here, it is necessary to carry out dental care as an incidental service. The current medical law stipulates “1 medical institution 1 dentist”. However, there is virtually no need for the presence of a dentist when specializing in oral cleaning. Therefore, if there is a dentist, the problem of “maintaining motivation” for the dentist and the dentist ’s labor costs "Is a factor of management instability. In addition, the lack of dental care breaks the chain of services and is a factor that misses revenue opportunities that can be expected by the chain of services. Providing dental care in addition to intraoral cleaning increases capital investment for dental care equipment, etc., but allows dentists to cover the dentist's own labor costs and balances customer service and revenue It becomes possible to take.
[0048]
The second value, insurance-applied medical care, can bridge the gap between the psychological price recognized by the patient as a customer and the technical fee required by the service provider, and is a cheap and reliable service provider. It is necessary to appeal. In addition, it creates value chainability that can be aimed at expanding profitability by combining with multi-store development. This insurance is cheaper, and the conventional dental care service has a gap between the cost required by the customer and the technical fee, which is the return required by the service provider. It has become. Here, simply lowering the price leads to a decline in medical quality, which is a problem related to trust. However, insurance can be applied as an overwhelmingly superior cost policy in the medical industry compared to other industries. . Furthermore, guiding the customer to the required price expected by applying insurance will increase the market size. In other industries, there is no shortage of examples of market scale expansion by reviewing pricing.
[0049]
The third value, low-cost operations through multi-store development, will actively utilize highly skilled personnel to provide high-value medical services. It is an unknown business area in dentistry. In addition, by linking with brand marketing, marketing that was impossible in conventional dental clinics becomes possible.
[0050]
By strategic customer introduction through brand marketing, which is the fourth value, we will build a brand as a company that provides medical services with new value. Aiming to become a market leader through value chaining combined with intraoral cleaning.
[0051]
In order to specifically realize the business idea described above, the dental care system and the dental care system facility according to the present invention will be described from a technical aspect.
[0052]

Thirdly, even when there are chemicals, coverings, etc., they are input to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40.
[0104]
Fourth, it rises from the floor where the intraoral cleaning device 64 is embedded and appears beside the patient sheet.
[0105]
Fifth, the treatment selected after the appearance of the intraoral cleaning device 64 is started by the dental hygienist. In this case, when the dental hygienist uses the turbine 54, a turbine use start signal is transmitted to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40. Further, when the use of the turbine 54 is finished, a use stop signal is transmitted to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40. The intra-oral cleaning device terminal 40 is transmitted with the device name, the use start time, and the use end time. The used device is automatically input to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40.
[0106]
Sixth, after all treatments are completed, the dental hygienist decides and inputs the next appointment schedule in consultation with the patient. Here, in the case of dental treatment, a prescription is determined by a dentist, and drug information is also input to the dental treatment apparatus terminal 42.
[0107]
Seventh, when the patient leaves, the weighted sensor detects and a treatment end signal is transmitted to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40. The intraoral cleaning device 64 is housed in the floor. The treatment end time and treatment time are automatically input to the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40.
[0108]
Eighth, when all inputs related to treatment are completed and the intraoral cleaning device terminal 40 receives signals, all signals are then transmitted to the front terminal 6.
[0109]
Ninth, the front terminal 6 totalizes all received information and immediately calculates what needs insurance calculation. After the calculation, a patient treatment cost and a prescription are created.
[0110]
Tenth, the result of calculating the patient treatment cost and the insurance cost by the front terminal 6 is further transmitted to the dental care server 2 through the network 10.
[0111]
Eleventh, the dental care server 2 collects sales by collecting the results of calculating patient treatment costs and insurance costs that are totaled from the front terminal 6 from each front terminal 6. At the same time, sales forecast data is simultaneously created based on the next reservation information of the patient. For this reason, the dental care server 2 collects information on which region, which store, what customer, when and what treatment was received in real time. In addition, it is possible to plan what kind of human resources will be allocated at what time and how much necessary materials will be input. In particular, it will be possible to distribute human resources with technology that meets the needs of each store, and to facilitate the concentration and selection of human resources and materials.
[0112]
For example, patient information can be input in advance at the time of visit by placing this front terminal 6 at the reception, and billing and prescription are issued at the same time as treatment, so that it does not take time to pay for expenses. It will end.
[0113]
The above process is applied in exactly the same way when a dentist uses a dental treatment apparatus.
[0114]
In this way, it is easier to apply insurance by automating the calculation of insurance points, and low-cost services can be realized while maintaining the required quality.
[0115]
