As a result, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the sheet base material 33 can be removed, and the print layer 34, which is the encoded information printed on the print sheet 30 of the transfer sheet, is transferred to the patient in a visible state. can do.

  The print layer 34 transferred to the patient becomes visible through the transparent print protective layer 31. Therefore, the encoded patient information (binary code) and patient ID printed on the print surface of the print protection layer 31 as the print layer 34 become a normal image and encoded as shown in FIG. Patient information (binary code) can be read by the scanner 8 and the patient ID can be visually recognized.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the patient registration terminal shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the patient confirmation terminal shown in FIG.

  First, when a patient visits the hospital, the patient registration terminal 1 inputs specific information for identifying the visited patient such as a patient ID, a patient name, and a birth date from the input unit 11 of the PC 5 (step A1). When the specific information is input from the input unit 11, the patient information acquisition unit 13 acquires the patient information from the server 3 by transmitting the specific information to the server 3 via the transmission / reception unit 12 (step A2) (step S2). A3) The acquired patient information is output to the printer 6.

  The printer 6 to which the patient information is input encodes the input patient information by the encoding processing unit 15 (step A4), and generates print data including the encoded patient information and patient ID (step A5). The mirror image processing unit 16 performs mirror image processing for converting the print data into a mirror image (step A6), and prints the print data subjected to the mirror image processing on the transfer sheet (step A7). Using the transfer sheet on which the print data subjected to the mirror image processing is printed, the encoded patient information and patient ID are attached to the patient's skin in the procedure shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (d). To finish the reception.

  When the patient visits the examination room, the patient confirmation terminal 2 reads the encoded patient information attached to the patient via the print protective layer 31 by the scanner 8 (step B1). When the encoded patient information attached to the patient is read by the scanner 8, the encoded patient information, that is, the print layer 34 is attached to the patient by the adhesive layer 41 functioning as a white layer. Therefore, the encoded patient information can be accurately read without being affected by the skin color.

  The encoded patient information read by the scanner 8 is decoded and output to the chart information acquisition unit 23. When the patient information is input, the medical chart information acquiring unit 23 determines whether or not the scanner 8 has been able to read normally based on the input patient information (step B2).

  If it is determined in step B2 that the reading has been performed normally, the chart information acquisition unit 23 transmits the patient information input via the transmission / reception unit 22 to the server 3 (step B3). Medical chart information is acquired (step B4), and the acquired medical chart information is displayed on the display unit 24 (step B5).

  If it is determined in step B2 that the reading has not been performed normally, the chart information acquisition unit 23 displays a message prompting the patient ID to be input on the display unit 24. Even when the encoded patient information cannot be read normally, the patient ID can be visually recognized. Therefore, the patient ID attached to the patient can be input from the input unit 21. When the patient ID is input from the input unit 21 (step B6), the medical record information acquisition unit 23 transmits the patient ID input via the transmission / reception unit 12 to the server 3 (step B7), so that the patient information and The chart information is acquired (step B8) and output to the printer 9.

  The printer 9 encodes the inputted patient information by the encoding processing unit 25 (step B9), creates print data including the encoded patient information and patient ID (step B10), and the mirror image processing unit 26. Thus, the mirror image process for converting the print data into a mirror image is performed (step B11), and the print data subjected to the mirror image process is printed on the transfer sheet (step B12). Accordingly, if the encoded patient information attached to the patient cannot be read due to some reason such as contamination of the print protective layer 31 or generation of wrinkles in the print layer 34, the encoded patient information is encoded. Can be reissued, and the encoded patient information can be reattached to the patient.

  In parallel with the reissuance of the transfer sheet, the chart information acquiring unit 23 displays the chart information acquired in step B8 on the display unit 24 (step B5), and ends the patient confirmation.

Next, another state of the transfer sheet printed by the printers 6 and 9 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another state of the transfer sheet on which printing has been performed by the printer shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 10A, after the printing layer 34 is printed on the printing surface of the printing protective layer 31 by the printers 6 and 9, the white printing layer 35 is printed in an overlapping manner. As shown in (b), it is white solid printing. Thus, by printing the white print layer 35 on the print layer 34, it is not necessary to function the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 41 as a white layer, and the restriction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be used for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 41 is relaxed. The

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, patient information of a patient who has come to the hospital by the patient registration terminal 1 is acquired from the server 3, print data in which the acquired patient information is encoded is created, and the created print data The patient information encoded by the patient confirmation terminal 2 is read, and the chart information is acquired from the server 3 based on the read patient information and displayed. Thus, the patient information can be printed on the transfer sheet for directly attaching the print layer 34 to the patient via the adhesive layer 41, and the encoded patient information can be directly attached to the patient. By confirming the above, it is possible to surely prevent the patient from being replaced, and the patient can be appropriately treated.
