  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an endoscope inspection work support system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The endoscope inspection service support system 1 is a system for supporting an endoscope inspection job, and appropriately schedules the use schedule and cleaning schedule of an individual endoscope (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a “scope”) 30. To achieve the function. The endoscope inspection service support system 1 includes an information management device 10, a terminal device 12, a storage 14, an endoscope observation device 22a to 22d, a first cleaning device 50a to a fourth cleaning device 50d, and these are LAN ( They are interconnected by a network 2 such as a local area network.

  An endoscope observation device is installed in each of the plurality of examination rooms. In this example, the first inspection room 20a is the endoscope observation device 22a, the second inspection room 20b is the endoscope observation device 22b, the third inspection room 20c is the endoscope observation device 22c, and the fourth inspection room 20d includes an endoscope observation device 22d. In medical facilities, examination rooms are often used for upper examination and lower examination. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first inspection room 20a, the second inspection room 20b, and the third inspection room 20c are used for an upper inspection, and the fourth inspection room 20d is used for a lower inspection. Hereinafter, when the first examination room 20a to the fourth examination room 20d are not particularly distinguished, they may be referred to as “examination room 20”. When the endoscope observation devices 22a to 22d are not particularly distinguished, “ It may be referred to as the “endoscope observation device 22”. The scope 30 is connected to the endoscope observation device 22, and an endoscopic examination is performed by a doctor.

  Medical facilities such as large hospitals and endoscopy centers own many types of endoscopes (scopes) in order to carry out a large number of endoscopic examinations a day, and also use multiple individuals for frequently used models. Own For example, scope models for upper examinations include upper routine machines used for routine examinations, upper high-quality machines that can provide high-resolution images, upper nasal machines inserted through the nostrils, and fine blood vessels on the mucosal surface. There are an upper magnifier capable of observing a running pattern, a structural pattern of a gland duct, and the like, an upper treatment machine having a treatment function, and the like. The scope models for the lower examination include a lower routine machine used for routine examination, a lower magnifier capable of observing the running pattern of fine blood vessels on the mucous membrane surface and the structural pattern of the gland ducts, etc., and a lower machine having a treatment function. There are treatment machines and the like. In a medical facility, owned scopes are registered and managed in a database.

  A plurality of washing machines are installed in the washing room 40. In this example, a first washing machine 50a, a second washing machine 50b, a third washing machine 50c, and a fourth washing machine 50d are provided. Hereinafter, the first washer 50a to the fourth washer 50d may be referred to as "washer 50" unless particularly distinguished. In this example, four washing machines 50 are installed in one washing room 40, but may be installed separately in a plurality of washing rooms.

  Generally, different chemicals are used for cleaning depending on the type of the cleaning machine 50. For example, typical chemicals used for cleaning include peracetic acid, phthalal, strongly acidic electrolyzed water, and the like, and the washing machine 50 is designed to use only a predetermined chemical. That is, the model of the washer 50 and the chemical used are in one-to-one correspondence, and it is not recommended that the washer 50 use a chemical other than the prescribed chemical. The washing time may vary depending on the type of the washer 50, and thus the washer 50 has characteristics unique to the model.

  The storage 14 stores the scope 30. Before the start of the one-day endoscopy work, all the scopes 30 are stored in the storage 14, and an inspection preparer such as a technician removes the scope 30 from the storage 14 and transports the scope 30 to the inspection room 20. And the endoscope observation device 22. When the examination by the doctor is completed, the examination preparer transports the used scope 30 to the cleaning room 40, puts the used scope 30 in the cleaning tank of the cleaning machine 50 for cleaning, and transports the cleaned scope 30 to the inspection room again. The doctor re-uses it for a new test.

  In a medical facility, an individual of the scope 30 is generally given an individual name for distinguishing the individual from other individuals. For example, since the scopes 30 of the same type have the same shape, an individual name is assigned and each is managed. A sticker or the like on which the individual name is printed is affixed to the scope 30 so that the individual can be distinguished by the individual name, so that a doctor or an examination preparer can distinguish each individual. In recent years, an RFID tag or the like is built in the endoscope main body, and each individual is electronically identified by connecting the endoscope observation device 22 to a camera control unit (CCU) or by reading using a tag reading unit. I can do it. For such a scope 30, by acquiring the individual identification information in the RFID tag at the time of connection to the CCU or before or after the start of washing in the washing machine, the same distinction as in the case of using a seal is obtained. It is possible to

  The endoscope inspection work support system 1 according to the embodiment sets schedule information for each individual of the scope 30 in which inspection is to be used and which washer is to be used for cleaning. Thus, the inspection preparer can see the schedule information to know which inspection room 20 to carry and which washing machine 50 to wash. At that time, the inspection preparer can appropriately move and clean the scope 30 according to the schedule information, based on the individual name printed on the sticker attached to the scope 30.

  The schedule information of the scope 30 is generated by the information management device 10. The generation timing of the schedule information is before the start of the endoscopic inspection work of one day, and the inspection preparer can determine the handling of the scope 30 by looking at the schedule information displayed on the screen of the terminal device 12. The terminal device 12 may be a stationary personal computer. The endoscope inspection service support system 1 may have a large display that anyone can see, and the schedule information may be displayed on the large display.

  Note that a medical worker such as a doctor or an examination preparer can hold the portable terminal 60 and receive necessary notifications from the information management apparatus 10. The portable terminal 60 may be a portable terminal device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a tablet, and may communicate with an access point (hereinafter, also referred to as “AP”) 3 installed in a medical facility. A wireless LAN is constructed so that data can be transmitted to and received from the information management apparatus 10. A mobile terminal 60 is lent to each medical worker in the facility, and the mobile terminal 60 and the medical worker are managed in association with each other. Therefore, when transmitting information to a specific medical worker, the information management apparatus 10 can specify the mobile terminal 60 associated with the medical worker and transmit necessary information to the mobile terminal 60.

  When generating the schedule information, the information management apparatus 10 determines which scope 30 is to be assigned to the inspection scheduled to start at a certain timing. Can not be assigned to the examination as a matter of course. For this reason, the information management apparatus 10 sets a virtual status for each scope 30 during the scheduling process so that the status of each scope 30 at an arbitrary timing can be confirmed.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a virtual status of the scope 30 set during creation of schedule information. The scope 30 takes one of the statuses “in use” (ST1), “used” (ST2), “washing” (ST3), and “standby” (ST4). The arrows shown in FIG. 2 indicate the transition direction of the status. The information management device 10 grasps the statuses of all the scopes 30 at an arbitrary timing, and allocates an appropriate scope 30 to the inspection at the timing.

  In the four statuses shown in FIG. 2, the scope 30 that can be assigned to the examination is a scope whose status is “waiting”, and the scope 30 in another status cannot be assigned to the examination. Note that the status of the scopes 30 stored in the storage 14 is “waiting”, and therefore, when starting the schedule information generation processing, it is assumed that all the statuses of the scopes 30 are “waiting”. And

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration of the information management apparatus 10 that generates schedule information of the scope 30. The information management device 10 includes a processing unit 100 and a storage unit 200. The processing unit 100 includes an inspection schedule management unit 110, a first allocation processing unit 120, a cleaning schedule management unit 130, a second allocation processing unit 140, and a display processing unit. 150, a display content derivation unit 152, a period designation unit 154, a usage status monitoring unit 160, and a history management unit 162.

  Each configuration of the information management apparatus 10 can be realized in terms of hardware by a CPU, a memory, or another LSI of an arbitrary computer, and is realized by software, such as a program loaded in the memory. Draws functional blocks realized by the cooperation of Therefore, it is understood by those skilled in the art that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The examination order is generated in an in-hospital information system such as an ordering system and issued to the endoscope department system. The information management device 10 obtains a one-day inspection order generated in the in-hospital information system before the start of the one-day endoscopy operation, and uses each individual of the scope 30 owned in the medical facility. Schedule appointments and cleaning appointments. The acquired inspection order for one day is stored in the order information storage unit 202. For example, the timing of the scheduling may be before the first inspection is performed on the day of the inspection or after the end of the inspection work on the previous day, and in any case, the timing at which the inspection order for one day is determined Should be fine.

  The examination order includes scheduled examination start time information, examination end time information, patient identification information (patient ID), examination type information, doctor in charge of examination, examination room, and other order information related to endoscopy. In the endoscopic inspection work support system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the first inspection room 20a, the second inspection room 20b, and the third inspection room 20c are used for an upper inspection, and the fourth inspection room 20d is used for a lower inspection. Therefore, any one of the first inspection room 20a, the second inspection room 20b, and the third inspection room 20c is assigned to the upper inspection order as an inspection room, and The fourth inspection room 20d is assigned to the lower inspection order.

  At the start of the scheduling process, first, the inspection schedule management unit 110 acquires a plurality of pieces of order information for one day from the order information storage unit 202, and generates an inspection schedule. Specifically, the examination schedule management unit 110 determines the examination room for performing the endoscopic examination, the scheduled examination start time information and the scheduled examination end time information, the examination type information related to the examination content of the endoscopic examination, and the doctor in charge. Generate and manage an inspection schedule for a plurality of endoscopy including the inspection. The inspection schedule management unit 110 stores the generated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206. Thereafter, as will be described later, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers information of the scope 30 assigned by the first assignment processing unit 120 for each examination in the examination schedule, and updates the examination schedule.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the generated inspection schedule. When acquiring the order information from the order information storage unit 202, the inspection schedule management unit 110 sets the inspection numbers in order from the earliest scheduled inspection start time. In FIG. 4, the number of tests for one day is 41, and test numbers are set as E1 to E41 for each test. Here, the examination schedule of examination number E1 is as follows: the examination room is the first examination room 20a, the scheduled examination start time is 9:00, the scheduled examination end time is 9:10, the examination type is “upper routine examination”, and the doctor in charge is “ "Doctor B" is indicated.

  In the present embodiment, the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4 is automatically derived from a plurality of inspection orders for one day. However, the order information includes scheduled inspection start time information, scheduled inspection end time information, When the information of the doctor in charge and the examination room is not included, the examination schedule management unit 110 may generate an examination schedule.

  For example, the storage unit 200 includes an examination type master table that stores scheduled examination times for each examination type, a doctor-in-charge master table that stores doctors in charge, and examination conditions (that is, upper examination or lower examination performed in the examination room). ) Is stored. The examination order includes identification information of the patient (patient ID) and examination type information. When the examination schedule management unit 110 acquires the examination order for one day, the examination schedule master table, the doctor in charge master table, An inspection schedule is generated with reference to the inspection conditions.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the examination type master table 210. In the examination type master table 210, the scheduled examination time is recorded for each examination type. When the examination order includes patient identification information (patient ID) and examination type information, the examination schedule management unit 110 first refers to the examination type information of each examination included in the examination order, and Assign one test. Here, referring to the examination conditions of the examination room, if the examination type information specifies the upper examination, the examination is transferred to any one of the first examination room 20a, the second examination room 20b, and the third examination room 20c. If the assignment and examination type information specifies the lower examination, the examination is assigned to the fourth examination room 20d. In addition, the examination schedule management unit 110 sets a predetermined preparation time (for example, 5 minutes) as an interval between examinations.

  In the examination type master table 210, for example, the scheduled examination time of “upper routine examination” of examination type number 1 is 10 minutes, and the scheduled examination time of “upper nasal examination” of examination type number 2 is 15 minutes. Something is recorded. The scheduled test time of “lower routine inspection (3 years experience)” of inspection type number 16 is set to be 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time of “lower routine inspection” of inspection type number 9. When a doctor (young doctor) who has less than 3 years of experience examines, it indicates that it takes about 5 minutes more than a doctor (veteran doctor) who has more than 3 years of experience as a scheduled time in advance. The fact that a younger doctor takes more time than a veteran doctor may be set in the assigned doctor master table. The examination schedule management unit 110 assigns one examination to each examination room 20 according to the examination type master table 210, and sets a scheduled examination start time and a scheduled examination end time.

  Next, the doctor assignment unit 129 in the first assignment processing unit 120 assigns a doctor to the examination in each examination room 20. At this time, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns the doctor in charge to the examination in the same time zone so that the same doctor in charge does not overlap. As described above, the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns one examination to each examination room 20, and the doctor assignment unit 129 assigns a doctor to the assigned examination, whereby an examination schedule is generated. When the doctor assignment unit 129 assigns a doctor to an examination, the examination schedule management unit 110 refers to the examination type information of each examination included in the unprocessed examination order, and again assigns one examination to each examination room. The assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to the assigned examination. By repeating this, the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4 is generated.

  In the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scheduled inspection time of the lower routine inspection indicated by the inspection number E12 is set to 20 minutes. This is because when the doctor E is assigned to the lower routine examination indicated by the examination number E12 by the doctor assignment unit 129, since the doctor E is a young doctor with less than three years of experience, the scheduled time of the examination indicated by the examination number E12 Is set to be 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time (15 minutes) of the normal lower routine inspection. When the examination schedule management unit 110 assigns the lower routine examination indicated by the examination number E12 to the fourth examination room 20d, the doctor assignment unit 129 sets the scheduled examination time to 15 minutes as usual, and When physician E is assigned to the patient, the examination schedule management unit 110 refers to the examination scheduled time of the examination type number 16 shown in FIG. 5, extends the examination scheduled time by 5 minutes, and resets the examination end scheduled time. Set.

  As described above, when the order information does not include the examination room information, the scheduled test start time information, the scheduled test end time information, the doctor in charge information, and the like, the test schedule management unit 110 assumes that the scope 30 is assigned to the test. By referring to the examination type master table 210 and the like as described above, the examination room to be examined, the scheduled examination start time, and the scheduled examination end time are set, and the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns a doctor to the examination. , The processing unit 100 may have a function of automatically generating an inspection schedule.

  The owned scope information storage unit 220 stores information and data related to the scope 30 owned by the medical facility, and has an owned scope master table 222, a usage status storage unit 224, a washing machine order storage unit 226, and an allocated scope information storage unit 228. , An assignment person information holding unit 230 and a history recording unit 232. The possession scope master table 222 is a database for managing the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility, and registers information on all the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the possession scope master table 222. The possession scope master table 222 registers the endoscope number set in the medical facility, the model name, and the individual name in the medical facility in association with each other. Here, as the scope model for the upper examination, the upper routine machine used for routine examination, the upper high-quality machine that can provide high-resolution images, the upper nasal machine inserted through the nostrils, the movement of fine blood vessels on the mucosal surface An upper magnifier capable of observing a form, a structural pattern of a gland duct or the like, and an upper treatment machine having a treatment function are registered.

  Six upper routine machines are owned by the medical facility, each of which is GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, GR-4, GR-5, GR-6. Of the individual. Also, three upper high-definition machines are owned, each of which has an individual name of GH-1, GH-2 and GH-3, and one upper nasal machine is owned, −N−1, two upper magnifiers are owned, GZ-1 and GZ-2 respectively, and two upper treatment machines are owned. , Are given individual names of GT-1 and GT-2, respectively.

  The scope models for the lower examination include a lower routine machine used for routine examination, a lower magnifier capable of observing the running pattern of fine blood vessels on the mucous membrane surface and the structural pattern of the gland ducts, etc., and a lower machine having a treatment function. The treatment machine is registered. Three lower routine machines are owned, each with an individual name of C-R-1, C-R-2 and C-R-3, and one lower magnifier is owned by C-Z- 1 is assigned to the individual, and one lower treatment machine is owned and assigned the individual name of CT-1.

  A tape or the like on which each individual name is printed is attached to each scope 30 so that a doctor or an examination preparer can visually identify the individual. The means for identifying and displaying the individual is not limited to the tape, but in particular, when there are a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model, a medical treatment that allows the individual to be visually identified so that the individual can be distinguished within the same model. Is preferably performed.

  Hereinafter, a process of generating schedule information of the scope 30 will be described. Generating the schedule information of the scope 30 means allocating the scope 30 to the inspection, and allocating the scope 30 used for the inspection to the washing machine. As a result, the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule are generated. , The schedule of the individual of the scope 30 is also generated.

  FIG. 7 shows a basic flowchart for generating schedule information of the scope 30. The inspection schedule management unit 110 acquires a plurality of pieces of order information for one day from the order information storage unit 202 (S10). The inspection schedule management unit 110 refers to the scheduled inspection start times of the plurality of order information, sets inspection numbers in ascending order of the scheduled inspection start times (S12), and generates an inspection schedule (S14). As for a plurality of tests having the same scheduled test start time, the test numbers may be set in ascending order of the test room number. The examination room numbers are set such that the first examination room 20a is “1”, the second examination room 20b is “2”, the third examination room 20c is “3”, and the fourth examination room 20d is “4”. . The examination schedule generated in S14 is as shown in FIG. 4, with the time axis being the vertical axis and the examination room being the horizontal axis, within the time frame specified by the scheduled examination start time information and the scheduled examination end time information. Is assigned to the inspection order.

  Note that the scheduled test start time information and the scheduled test end time information may be information on the time itself indicating hours and minutes, or may be information indicating a time zone in 5-minute intervals. For example, in the endoscope department, when scheduling is performed with 5 minutes as one unit, the scheduled examination start time information and the scheduled examination end time information are based on the frame with 5 minutes as one unit, respectively. The time and the scheduled inspection end time may be specified.

  The schedule information of the scope 30 is generated by allocating the scope 30 to the inspection in the inspection schedule and allocating a washing machine that performs cleaning after the scheduled inspection end time to the allocated scope 30. Therefore, first, processing for extracting an examination to which the scope 30 is to be assigned in each examination room is executed (S16). When the examination of each examination room is extracted by the assignment target examination extraction processing, the processing for assigning the scope 30 to the extracted examination is performed by the first assignment processing unit 120 (S18). When the scope 30 is allocated to the inspection by the scope allocation process, information of the allocated scope 30 is registered in the inspection schedule, and subsequently, a cleaning machine 50 to be cleaned is allocated to the allocated scope 30. The process is executed by the second assignment processing unit 140 (S20). Information on the cleaning machine 50 assigned to the scope 30 is registered in the cleaning schedule. The steps of S16 to S20 are repeated until all the examinations are completed (N of S22), and when the assignment processing is completed for all the examinations (Y of S22), the scheduling processing of the scope 30 ends.

  When the steps of S16 to S20 are executed, the scope 30 is assigned to the inspection in each inspection room 20, and the washing machine 50 is assigned to the assigned scope 30. When the use schedule and the cleaning schedule of the scope 30 are determined in this way, the second allocation processing unit 140 to which the cleaning machine 50 has been allocated assigns a processed flag to the inspection number of the inspection to which the scope 30 is allocated. Set. The first assignment processing unit 120 that assigns the scope 30 to the examination refers to the flag of each examination number, executes the step of S16 until all the examination number flags have been processed (N of S22), If the flag of the examination number has been processed (Y in S22), the scheduling process of the scope 30 is ended without returning to the step of S16.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the first assignment processing unit 120 performs a process of assigning the scope 30 to the examination of the examination schedule. Specifically, the first assignment processing unit 120 has a function of executing steps S16 and S18 in the basic flowchart, and includes a test extraction unit 122, a scope identification unit 124, a scope assignment unit 126, a scope assignment availability confirmation unit 128, and a doctor. An assignment unit 129 is provided. As described above, the doctor assigning unit 129 is responsible for assigning a doctor to an examination when generating an examination schedule.

  FIG. 8 is a detailed flowchart of the process of extracting the assignment target inspection shown in S16 of the basic flowchart. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the examination extracting unit 122 extracts an examination that has not yet been assigned the scope 30 and that has the earliest scheduled examination start time among the examinations of the examination rooms 20 in the examination schedule (S30). . In the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scope 30 is not yet assigned to any examination, and therefore, the examination extracting unit 122 extracts the examination with the earliest scheduled examination start time in each examination room 20. Here, the examination of the examination number E1 from the first examination room 20a, the examination of the examination number E2 from the second examination room 20b, the examination of the examination number E3 from the third examination room 20c, and the examination number of the fourth examination room 20d. The test of E4 is extracted. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the test of the test number E1 may be referred to as “test E1”, and the test of the test number E2 may be referred to as “test E2”.

  Subsequently, the test extraction unit 122 sets “N = 1” (S32), and extracts the scheduled test start time of the test following the test extracted from the test room other than the test room N from the test room N. It is determined whether or not it is later than the scheduled inspection start time of the inspection (S34). Here, the scheduled test start time of the test E1 extracted from the first test room 20a, and the next test of the tests E2, E3, and E4 extracted from the second test room 20b, the third test room 20c, and the fourth test room 20d. That is, it is determined whether all the scheduled inspection start times of the tests E6, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled inspection start time of the test E1 by comparing the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E6, E7, and E8. You. In the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, since all the scheduled examination start times of the examinations E6, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled examination start time of the examination E1 (Y in S34), the examination extraction unit 122 sets the examination E1 to The scope 30 is specified as an examination to be assigned (S36). If any one of the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E6, E7, and E8 is earlier than the scheduled inspection start time of the inspection E1 (N in S34), the inspection extracting unit 122 sets the inspection E1 to: The scope 30 is excluded from the examination to be assigned (S38).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not N is equal to the total number of test rooms (in this example, the total number of test rooms = 4) (S40). If N has not reached the total number of test rooms (N in S40), N is incremented by one. (S42), returning to S34.

  In S34, the scheduled test start time of the test E2 extracted from the second test room 20b and the next test E1, E3, E4 extracted from the first test room 20a, the third test room 20c, and the fourth test room 20d. Inspection, that is, by comparing the scheduled start times of the tests E5, E7, and E8 to determine whether all the scheduled start times of the tests E5, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled start times of the test E1. Is done. In the inspection schedule illustrated in FIG. 4, since all the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E5, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled inspection start time of the inspection E2 (Y in S34), the inspection extraction unit 122 sets the inspection E2 to The scope 30 is specified as an examination to be assigned (S36).

  As described above, the determination process of S34 is executed for all the tests extracted from each test room 20 in S30. Here, all the examinations of examination numbers E1, E2, E3, and E4 extracted from each examination room 20 in S30 are specified as examinations to which the scope 30 is to be assigned (S36), and N is the total number of examination rooms at that time. Has been reached (Y in S40), the extraction processing of the assignment target inspection ends. With reference to the basic flowchart shown in FIG. 7, when the process of extracting the test to be allocated in S16 ends, the scope allocation process of S18 starts.

  FIG. 9 shows a detailed flowchart of the scope assignment processing shown in S18 of the basic flowchart. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the scope assignment unit 126 performs a process of assigning a scope to be used from the plurality of scopes 30 owned to each endoscope examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Do.

  As a premise of performing the scope assignment processing, first, the scope identification unit 124 identifies the status of all the scopes 30 at the scheduled start time of the examination extracted as the scope assignment target (S50). As described with reference to FIG. 2, the status of the scope 30 is specified by one of ST1 to ST4.

  FIG. 10 shows a detailed flowchart of the status specifying process in S50. First, the scope specifying unit 124 sets the scheduled test start time of the test to be assigned (S70). Since the scheduled start times of the tests E1 to E4 are all 9:00, the time is set to 9:00 here. The scope specifying unit 124 specifies the status at the set time of all the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 19 recorded in the owned scope master table 222.

  Referring to the schedule information of the scope 30, if the set time (9:00) is within the assigned examination time (Y in S72), the status of the scope 30 is specified as "in use". (S74). If the set time is outside the inspection time (N in S72) and after the end of the assigned inspection and before the start of cleaning (Y in S76), the status of the scope 30 is specified as "used". Is performed (S78). If the set time is not after the inspection but before the start of cleaning (N in S76) and is within the cleaning time (Y in S80), the status of the scope 30 is specified as "under cleaning" (S82). . If the set time is not within the cleaning time (N in S80), the status of the scope 30 is specified as "standby" (S84). In this way, by specifying the status at the set time with respect to all the scopes, the scope specifying unit 124 can grasp which of the scopes is “standby”, that is, can be assigned at the scheduled examination start time.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the scope specifying unit 124 performs a search process of the owned scope to specify the usable scope 30 (S52). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 executes the search process by narrowing down to the scope specified as “waiting” in S50. Since the scopes 30 having a status other than “waiting”, that is, “in use”, “used”, and “washing” status cannot be assigned to the inspection at that time, by excluding these from the search target, the search is performed. Increase efficiency.

  FIG. 11 is a detailed flowchart of the scope search process in S52. The scope specifying unit 124 executes a search process for all the scopes 30 having the status of “standby”. Here, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the test type of the test to be assigned. Here, it is specified that the scheduled test start times of all the tests E1 to E4 to be allocated are 9:00, and that the statuses of all the scopes 30 are “waiting” at 9:00 at S50. I have. Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether the scope 30 having the “standby” status corresponds to the examination type for each of the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S90).

  In the embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies a usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. In the embodiment, the inspection type is distinguished by whether the inspection is an upper inspection or a lower inspection. Therefore, in S90, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the upper inspection, it is determined that the upper inspection scope corresponds, and the lower inspection scope does not. Similarly, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the lower inspection, it is determined that the lower inspection scope corresponds to the inspection and the upper inspection scope does not correspond.

  Referring to the possession scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 and the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scope specifying unit 124 performs an endoscope, which is an upper examination scope, for the upper examinations of examination numbers E1, E2, and E3. The scopes of mirror numbers 1 to 14 are determined as candidate scopes (S92), while the scopes of endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which are lower inspection scopes, are determined to be unassignable to the examinations of examination numbers E1, E2, and E3. It is determined (S94). Further, for the lower inspection of the inspection number E4, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which are the lower inspection scopes, as candidate scopes (S92), while the upper inspection scope does not. The scopes of certain endoscope numbers 1 to 14 are determined to be unassignable to the examination of examination number E4 (S94). The scope specifying unit 124 notifies the scope assigning unit 126 of the correspondence between the specified candidate scope and the examination number.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope 30 to be used to each test managed by the test schedule managing unit 110 based on the candidate scope specified by the scope specifying unit 124. Specifically, the scope allocating unit 126 allocates one of the candidate scopes specified by the scope specifying unit 124 to the endoscopy. In the following example, among the plurality of candidate scopes, the scope with the smaller endoscope number set in the owned scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 is assigned to the examination, but the order is limited to this order. Not intended.

  First, the scope assignment unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E1 (Y in S54). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 notifies that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 14 can be allocated to the examinations E1, E2, and E3. The scope GR-1 of the endoscope number 1 is assigned (S56). The scope assigning unit 126 sets the status of the scope GR-1 to "in use" so that the same scope GR-1 is not assigned to another examination (S58). When the status is set to “in use”, the scope GR- 1 is excluded from the candidate scope at the time of allocation by the next scope allocation unit 126.

  Next, the scope assignment unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E2 (Y in S54), and assigns the scope GR-2 of the endoscope number 2 to the examination E2 ( (S56), the status of the scope GR-2 is set to "in use" (S58). Similarly, the scope assignment unit 126 assigns the scope GR-3 of the endoscope number 3 to the examination E3 (S56), and sets the status of the scope GR-3 to "in use" (S58). ).

  Next, the scope assignment unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E4 (Y in S54). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 has notified that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19 can be assigned to the examination E4. Therefore, the scope assigning unit 126 gives the examination E4 an endoscope number. Fifteen scopes CR-1 are allocated (S56), and the status of the scope CR-1 is set to "in use" (S58).

  In S54, when there is no scope that can be assigned to the examination (N in S54), the scope assignment unit 126 notifies the user that assignment is not possible (S60). Note that the timing of this notification may be after the process of assigning the scope 30 has been completed for all examinations. At least the user needs to recognize that there is an examination to which the scope 30 has not been assigned before the start of the daily endoscopy work.

  The allocation process by the scope allocation unit 126 is repeated until the allocation of the scope 30 is completed for all the extracted tests to be allocated (N in S62), and the scope 30 is allocated to all the tests (here, E1 to E4). When this is done (Y in S62), this scope assignment processing ends. The assignment result by the scope assignment unit 126 is notified to the examination schedule management unit 110.

  FIG. 12 shows the inspection schedule updated by the inspection schedule management unit 110. When notified of the assignment result from the scope assignment unit 126, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers the assigned scope 30 in the applicable examination. Here, the scope GR-1 is used for the examination E1, the scope GR-2 is used for the examination E2, the scope GR-3 is used for the examination E3, and the scope E4 is used for the examination E4. That the scope CR-1 is used is registered. The inspection schedule management unit 110 records the updated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206. In this way, schedule information of the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, and CR-1 is generated.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the scope assignment process in S18 ends, the washing machine assignment process in S20 starts.
In FIG. 3, a cleaning schedule management unit 130 manages a cleaning schedule of the cleaning machine 50 and a plurality of scopes including scheduled cleaning start time information and scheduled cleaning end time information. The second assignment processing unit 140 assigns a washing machine 50 for washing the scope 30 used in each endoscope inspection from among the plurality of washing machines 50. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 generates a cleaning schedule for the scope 30 based on the cleaning device 50 allocated to the scope 30 by the second allocation processing unit 140, and records the generated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  FIG. 13 is a detailed flowchart of the washing machine allocation process shown in S20 of the basic flowchart. The second assignment processing unit 140 includes a washing machine identification unit 142, a washing machine assignment unit 144, an end time determination unit 146, a washing machine assignment availability confirmation unit 148, and a person assignment unit 149.

  The cleaning machine specifying unit 142 performs a process of searching for the owned cleaning machines 50 for each of the scopes 30 allocated in S18, and specifies usable cleaning machines 50 (S110). When the use of the washer 50 is not limited, that is, when the use of all the washer 50 is permitted for the scope 30, the washer specifying unit 142 sets all the first washer 50a to the fourth It specifies that the washing machine 50d can be used. At this time, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 refers to the cleaning schedule stored in the cleaning schedule storage unit 208 and acquires a usable time zone for each cleaning machine 50. The usable time zone means a time zone in which no cleaning is scheduled. Note that when the second allocation processing unit 140 first executes the cleaning machine allocation processing, the cleaning schedule is blank, that is, no cleaning schedule is registered in any of the cleaning machines 50, and therefore, all the time schedules are set. Obi is available. The usable washer 50 and its usable time zone are notified to the washer allocating unit 144.

  The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates a cleaning machine 50 for cleaning the scope 30 used in each of the endoscope inspections, from a plurality of available cleaning machines 50. Here, the washer allocating unit 144 cleans the scope 30 so that the time after the scheduled examination end time of the scope 30 assigned to the endoscopic examination by the scope allocating unit 126 becomes the scheduled cleaning start time. The washing machine 50 for the operation. In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of work efficiency, the same time as the scheduled cleaning end time can be set as the scheduled cleaning start time. However, an interval of a predetermined time is set between the scheduled cleaning end time and the scheduled cleaning start time. May be provided. Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the cleaning machine 50 cleans one scope 30, but depending on the specification, the cleaning machine 50 can clean a plurality of (for example, two) scopes 30, and the cleaning machine allocating unit. 144 may assign the washer 50 to the plurality of scopes 30.

  The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the cleaning machines 50 in order from a plurality of scopes 30 to which the cleaning machines 50 are to be allocated, that is, the plurality of scopes 30 allocated to the inspection in S18, starting from the earliest scheduled inspection end time. . Here, the scheduled inspection end time of the inspections E1 to E3 is 9:10, and the estimated inspection end time of the inspection E4 is 9:15. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 determines the order of the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4. The washing machine 50 is assigned to the scope to be used. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that there is always a washing machine 50 that can be assigned to the scope 30 (Y in S112). However, if there is no washing machine 50 that can be assigned ( N) of S112 is notified that the cleaning machine 50 cannot be allocated to the scope 30 (S116).

  The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope GR-1 used in the inspection E1 (S114). In the embodiment, the scheduled cleaning time of all the washing machines 50 is set to 20 minutes. However, the scheduled cleaning time may be different for each washing machine 50, and the scheduled cleaning time differs depending on the washing mode in the washing machine 50. Is also good. The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E1 to the scheduled cleaning start time, and sets 20 minutes later to the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set in the first cleaning machine 50a from 9:10 to 9:30. The status of the cleaning devices 50 is either “in use” or “on standby”, and when starting the schedule information generation process, the status of all the cleaning devices 50 is “on standby”. It is assumed. The status of the scope GR-1 between 9:10 and 9:30 is "washing".

  Next, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-2 used in the inspection E2 (S114). The washing machine allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E2 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:10), and sets 9:30 which is 20 minutes later as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set in the second cleaning machine 50b from 9:10 to 9:30.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the third cleaning machine 50c to the scope GR-3 used in the inspection E3 (S114). The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E3 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:10), and sets 9:30 which is 20 minutes later as the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set in the third cleaning machine 50c from 9:10 to 9:30.

  Finally, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the fourth cleaning machine 50d to the scope CR-1 used in the inspection E4 (S114). The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E4 to the scheduled cleaning start time (9:15), and sets 9:35, which is 20 minutes later, to the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of “in use” is set in the fourth cleaning machine 50d from 9:15 to 9:35.

  The washing machine assignment process is repeated until the washing machines 50 are assigned to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (N in S120). When the washing machines 50 are assigned to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (Y in S120), the washing machine assignment processing ends. The result of the allocation by the washer allocating unit 144 is notified to the cleaning schedule management unit 130.

  FIG. 14 shows a cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. That the scope GR-2 is cleaned by the second cleaning device 50b; that the scope GR-3 is cleaned by the third cleaning device 50c; It is registered that the scope CR-1 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50d. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  FIG. 15 shows schedule information of individuals in the scope 30. Here, for the sake of easy understanding, an example is shown in which the display processing unit 150 displays the individual schedule at the stage when the above-described processing is completed. The unit 150 displays the individual schedule. In FIG. 15, C1 indicates that the first cleaning device 50a, C2 indicates that the second cleaning device 50b, C3 indicates that the third cleaning device 50c, and C4 indicates that the fourth cleaning device 50d is performing cleaning. E1, E2, etc. indicate the inspection numbers of the inspections in use. Information indicated by the individual schedule is schedule information of each individual.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the washing machine allocation processing in S20 is completed, it is determined whether the processing has been completed for all the inspection numbers (S22). If not, the processing returns to S16 and the basic flow is repeated. .
Hereinafter, the process of generating the schedule information of the scope 30 by repeatedly executing the steps of S16 to S20 will be described. Steps S16 to S20 described above with respect to the inspections E1 to E4 are the first processing.

<Second: S16 to S20>
In S16, the test extraction unit 122 extracts a test E5 from the first test room 20a, a test E6 from the second test room 20b, a test E7 from the third test room 20c, and a test E8 from the fourth test room 20d. E5 to E8 are specified as tests to which the scope 30 is to be assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 14, which are upper scopes, as the candidate scopes for the examinations E5, E6, and E7, and determines the scopes for the lower examination for the examination E8. The scopes of endoscope numbers 16 to 19, which are scopes, are determined as candidate scopes. At the scheduled start time of the examinations E5, E6, and E7 (9:15), the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “washing”, so the candidate scopes of the examinations E5, E6, and E7 are No. Also, at the scheduled start time of the examination E8 (9:20), the status of the scope of the endoscope number 15 is “washing”, so that the scope is not a candidate scope of the examination E8. The specified candidate scope is notified to the scope assignment unit 126.

  Upon receiving the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope allocating unit 126 assigns the scope G-R-4 of the endoscope number 4 to the examination E5 and the scope G-R of the endoscope number 5 to the examination E6. R-5 is assigned to the examination E7 and the scope GR-6 of the endoscope number 6 is assigned. The scope allocating unit 126 allocates the scope C-R-2 of the endoscope number 16 to the examination E8.

  In S20, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope GR-4 of the inspection E5, and allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-5 of the inspection E6, The third cleaning device 50c is allocated to the scope GR-6 of the inspection E7, and the fourth cleaning device 50d is allocated to the scope CR-2 of the inspection E8. The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes GR-4, GR-5, and GR-6 at 9:30 and the scheduled cleaning end time at 9:50, and sets the scope C -Set the scheduled cleaning start time of R-2 to 9:35 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 9:55.

  FIG. 16 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope specifying unit 124 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

<Third time: S16 to S20>
In S16, the test extraction unit 122 extracts the test E9 from the first test room 20a, the test E10 from the second test room 20b, the test E11 from the third test room 20c, and the test E12 from the fourth test room 20d, and performs the test. E9 to E12 are specified as tests to which the scope 30 is to be assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 and 7 to 14, which are upper inspection scopes, as candidate scopes for the examinations E9, E10, and E11, and for the examination E12. The scopes of endoscope numbers 15, 17 to 19, which are the scopes for lower inspection, are determined as candidate scopes. At the scheduled start time of the examinations E9, E10 and E11 (9:30), the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 6 are “washing”. No. Also, at the scheduled start time of the examination E12 (9:40), the status of the scope of the endoscope number 16 is “washing”, so that the scope is not a candidate scope of the examination E12. The specified candidate scope is notified to the scope specifying unit 124.

  For the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3, 9:30 is the scheduled cleaning end time and the cleaning has been completed at 9:30, so the status is “standby”, and the inspections E9 and E10 , E11. Further, the scope of the endoscope number 15 is scheduled cleaning end time at 9:35, the status is “standby” at 9:40, and becomes a candidate scope for the examination E12.

  In response to the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope allocating unit 126 assigns the scope G-R-1 of the endoscope number 1 to the examination E9 and the scope G-R of the endoscope number 2 to the examination E10. R-2 is allocated to the scope GR-3 of the endoscope number 3 for the examination E11. The scope allocating unit 126 allocates the scope C-R-1 of the endoscope number 15 to the examination E12.

  As described above, the scope allocating unit 126 can reallocate a scope that has been cleaned and “standby” at the scheduled examination start time to the examination. That is, in the scheduling process, the scope allocating unit 126 performs the endoscopic examination so that the time after the scheduled cleaning end time of the cleaning machine 50 assigned to the scope 30 by the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 becomes the scheduled inspection start time. A scope 30 can be assigned for microscopy. In the third step, the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, C-3 are assigned by the washer allocating unit 144 efficiently allocating the washer 50 to the scope 30. -R-1 has been reassigned to inspections that begin after each scheduled cleaning end time, allowing efficient scheduling of the scope 30.

  In S20, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope GR-1 of the inspection E9, and allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-2 of the inspection E10, The third cleaning device 50c is allocated to the scope GR-3 of the inspection E11, and the first cleaning device 50a is allocated to the scope CR-1 of the inspection E12. The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes GR-1, GR-2, and GR-3 at 9:50 and the scheduled cleaning end time at 10:10, and sets the scope C -Set the scheduled cleaning start time of R-1 to 10:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:30.

  FIG. 17 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope specifying unit 124 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

  As shown in the inspection schedule, the inspection E12 in which the scope CR-1 is used has a scheduled inspection end time of 10:00, while the inspection schedule of the fourth cleaning device 50d indicates that the inspection is to be completed. The washing machine 50d can be used after 9:55. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 can allocate the fourth cleaning machine 50d from 10:00 to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E12, but the unused time of 5 minutes is allocated to the fourth cleaning machine 50d. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope C-R-1.

<Fourth: S16 to S20>
In S16, the test extraction unit 122 extracts a test E14 from the first test room 20a, a test E15 from the second test room 20b, a test E13 from the third test room 20c, and a test E19 from the fourth test room 20d. When the step of S34 in FIG. 8 is executed, the scheduled start time (10:00) of the test E16 next to the test E13 in the third test room 20c becomes the planned start time of the test E19 in the fourth test room 20d. Earlier than (10:05) (N in S34). That is, the test E19 extracted from the fourth test room 20d is started after the test E16 of the third test room 20c that has not been extracted yet. Therefore, before the test E16, the test extracting unit 122 determines that a scope should not be allocated to the test E19, and removes the test E19 from the tests to which the scope is to be allocated (S38). Note that the tests E13, E14, and E15 are specified as tests to which the scope 30 is assigned.

  In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 7 to 14, which are upper scopes, as candidate scopes for the examination E13 whose scheduled examination start time is 9:45. At the scheduled examination start time (9:45), the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “used” and the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 6 are “washing”. , Does not become a candidate scope for inspection E13. In addition, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 4 to 14, which are upper scopes, as candidate scopes for the examinations E14 and E15 whose scheduled examination start time is 9:50. At the scheduled examination start time (9:50), the statuses of the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 3 are “washing”, so that they are not candidate scopes for the examination E13. The specified candidate scope is notified to the scope specifying unit 124.

  In response to the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope allocating unit 126 assigns the scope G-H-1 of the endoscope number 7 to the examination E13 and the scope G-H of the endoscope number 4 to the examination E14. The scope GR-5 of the endoscope number 5 is assigned to the examination E15 for R-4. The scopes GR-4 and GR-5 are assigned to the inspection again after the cleaning is completed at 9:50.

  In S20, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the fourth cleaning machine 50d to the scope GH-1 of the inspection E13, and allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-4 of the inspection E14, The third washer 50c is assigned to the scope GR-5 of the inspection E15. The washer allocating unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scope GH-1 at 9:55 and the scheduled cleaning end time at 10:15, and starts cleaning the GR-4 and GR-5. The scheduled time is set to 10:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 10:30.

  FIG. 18 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope specifying unit 124 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

  FIG. 19 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30. Thus, by repeating S16 to S20 in the basic flowchart four times, the individual schedule information of the scope 30 is created as shown in FIG.

As described above, the processing of S16 to S20 is repeated until the allocation processing for the last examination is completed.
FIG. 20 shows the inspection schedule generated by the inspection schedule management unit 110 and the cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the scope specifying unit 124 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. As described above, the assignment of the scope 30 to all the inspections and the assignment of the washing machine 50 to the scope 30 are completed, thereby completing the schedule information generation processing of the scope 30.

FIG. 21 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30 for one day.
The result of allocating the scope 30 by the scope allocating unit 126 and / or the result of allocating the washer 50 by the washer allocating unit 144 are displayed on the display of the terminal device 12 by the display processing unit 150.
For example, the display processing unit 150 may read out the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206 and display the inspection schedule table shown in FIG. The display processing unit 150 may read out the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and display the cleaning schedule table shown in FIG. The display processing unit 150 may display the inspection schedule table and the cleaning schedule table on the same screen. Thereby, the doctor and the test preparation person can easily recognize which scope 30 is to be used for the test, and the test preparation person can easily recognize which cleaning machine 50 to use the used scope 30 with. become.

  The display processing unit 150 may read the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule storage unit 206 and read the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule storage unit 208, and display the individual schedule table of the scope 30 on the terminal device 12. This individual schedule table is shown in FIG. 21. By generating such an individual schedule table, the test preparer can know the schedule of each individual of the scope 30. When the inspection preparer wants to know the status of the scope 30 at a certain time, the individual schedule table can know the status such as whether the scope 30 is being cleaned or the inspection is being used.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the scope CR-1 is scheduled to be cleaned from 12:30 to 12:50. Although depending on the medical facility, when the lunch break of the test preparer is set, for example, from 12:30 to 13:30, it may be notified that this cleaning process is outside of working hours.

  The end time determination unit 146 determines whether the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time (12:30) as a result of allocating the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 by the cleaning machine allocating unit 144. When it is determined by the end time determination unit 146 that the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time, the cleaning machine allocation availability confirmation unit 148 sends a notification for confirming the availability of the cleaning machine allocation to the user (eg, an operator). May go. For example, the timing of this notification may be after the process of assigning the scope 30 has been completed for all examinations. Referring to FIG. 21, the scheduled cleaning end time of scope GH-1 is 12:35, and therefore, even for this cleaning schedule, cleaning machine allocation permission / inhibition unit 148 determines whether cleaning machine allocation is possible. Ask the user.

  The doctor's schedule is determined by the examination order, and the doctor grasps the scheduled start time of the next examination, the examination room, and the like from the examination schedule table. Similarly, the information management device 10 may set a schedule for the test preparer. In this schedule, it may be set that the inspection preparer carries the scope 30 into the inspection room 20 before the start of the inspection, and carries the scope 30 into the cleaning room 40 after the inspection is completed. Etc. may be set.

Hereinafter, various aspects related to the scheduling process by the information management device 10 of the embodiment will be described.
<Example 1>
In the embodiment, in the scope search processing illustrated in FIG. 11, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. At this time, the inspection type is distinguished depending on whether the inspection is an upper inspection or a lower inspection. In the first embodiment, based on the inspection type information indicating more detailed inspection contents, the scope specifying unit 124 Identify available scopes 30.

  FIG. 22 shows a scope order table held in the scope order holding unit 204. The scope order table records the scope types to be preferentially assigned to the examination types in association with each other. Here, “priority scope model 1” is information on a model to be assigned with the highest priority, and “priority scope model 2” is information on a model to be assigned with the second highest priority. If the scope 30 specified by “priority scope model 1” is “standby”, the scope specification unit 124 specifies that scope 30 as a candidate scope. On the other hand, if the scope 30 designated by “priority scope model 2” is not “waiting” but the scope 30 designated by “priority scope model 2” is “waiting”, The scope 30 of “priority scope model 2” is specified as a candidate scope. As described above, the scope order holding unit 204 holds the priority order of the model of the scope 30 to be assigned to the examination type of the endoscopic examination, and the scope specifying unit 124 assigns the scope 30 of the model with the higher priority order to the candidate scope. To be specified.

  FIG. 23 is a detailed flowchart of the scope search process according to the first embodiment. The scope specifying unit 124 executes a search process for all the scopes 30 having the status of “standby”. The scope specifying unit 124 specifies a usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. In S90, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the upper inspection, it is determined that the upper inspection scope corresponds, and the lower inspection scope does not. Similarly, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates the lower inspection, it is determined that the lower inspection scope corresponds to the inspection and the upper inspection scope does not correspond.

  Describing the first steps S16 to S20 in the embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 determines that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 14, which are upper scopes, correspond to the examinations E1, E2, and E3. It is determined that the scope of the inspection E4 is a scope to which the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19, which are the scopes for lower inspection, correspond (S90).

  The inspection type of the inspections E1, E2, and E3 is “upper routine inspection”, and the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204, and refers to the model having the highest priority (priority scope). It recognizes that model 1) is the “upper routine machine”. Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether the corresponding scope includes the “upper routine machine” (S96). Here, since the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 exist as upper routine machines (Y in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes (S92). .

  The inspection type of the inspection E4 is “lower routine inspection”, and the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 and refers to the model having the highest priority (priority scope model 1). Is a "lower routine machine". Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether the corresponding scope includes the “lower routine machine” (S96). Here, since scopes with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 exist as lower routine machines (Y in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as candidate scopes (S92). .

  When the scopes corresponding to the inspections E1 to E3 do not include the scope of the priority scope model 1 (N in S96), the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope rank information held in the scope rank holding unit 204. Then, it recognizes that the model with the second highest priority (priority scope model 2) is the “upper high-quality machine”. Therefore, the scope specifying unit 124 determines whether the corresponding scope includes the “upper high image quality machine” (S98), and if it is included (Y in S98), the scope specifying unit 124 sets the upper high image quality. The scope of the machine is determined as a candidate scope (S92).

  When the scope of the priority scope model 2 is not included in the corresponding scope (N in S98), the scope specifying unit 124 selects the priority scope among the scopes determined to correspond to the examination type in S90. The scope of a model other than the scope model is determined as a candidate scope (S92). The scope specifying unit 124 notifies the specified candidate scope to the scope allocating unit 126, and the scope allocating unit 126 allocates the scope 30 to the examination as described in the embodiment.

  Note that when the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scope 30 of the model having the lower priority and the scope allocating unit 126 allocates the specified scope to the endoscopic examination, the scope allocation validity checking unit 128 determines the scope allocation. It is preferable to confirm with the user whether or not it is possible. For example, when the priority scope model 1 is not assigned, the scope assignment availability confirmation unit 128 may perform user confirmation assuming that a model with a lower priority is assigned, but the scope order holding unit 204 sets it. If a certain model is assigned (for example, priority scope model 2 is assigned), the user need not be confirmed. That is, the scope specifying unit 124 determines a model other than the priority scope model as a candidate scope, and only when the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the candidate scope to the examination, You may confirm with a user whether the assignment is possible. If the scope specifying unit 124 cannot determine the priority scope model as a candidate scope (N in S98), it determines that there is no candidate scope, and the scope assignment validity checking unit 128 notifies the user to that effect. May be.

  The timing of this confirmation may be after the assignment processing of the scope 30 has been completed for all the examinations. At least the user needs to be aware before the start of the day's endoscopy work that there are examinations to which the appropriate scope 30 has not been assigned.

  Comparing the embodiment with the first embodiment, for example, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the scope GR-R-1 which is the upper routine machine is assigned to the test E9 which is the upper nasal test. I have. However, according to the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 and determines that the model (priority scope model 1) having the highest priority of the test E9 is “upper nose model”. By recognizing that the scope is “device”, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scope GN-1 of the endoscope number 10 as a candidate scope for the examination E9. Similarly, for the examination E10 which is the upper inspection, the scope specifying unit 124 sets the scopes GH-1 to GH-3 of the endoscope numbers 7 to 9 which are the upper high-quality machines as candidate scopes. Identify. Therefore, the scope assignment unit 126 assigns the scope GN-1 to the examination E9 and assigns the scope GH-1 to the examination E10. As compared with the embodiment as described above, in Example 1, the scope 30 having a higher priority, that is, the scope 30 suitable for the examination can be assigned to the endoscopic examination, so that the completeness of the examination schedule can be enhanced.

<Example 2>
In the endoscope inspection work support system 1, a scope that has been worn out and aged tends to have functional deterioration or failure. In general, a case in which consumption and aging of a scope progresses remarkably is a case in which the number of times of use and the time of use of the scope are extremely longer than those of other scopes. The purpose is to equalize the usage time.

Returning to FIG. 3, the usage status storage unit 224 stores the past usage status of the plurality of scopes 30 owned.
FIG. 24 shows a usage status table stored in the usage status storage unit 224. The usage status table records a past usage status in association with each scope 30. This usage status is a thing of the past, and the usage status is updated when actually used. Here, the use status is “use count” and “use time”, where “use time” indicates the cumulative number of times used for inspection, and “use time” indicates the cumulative time used for inspection.

  Referring to FIG. 1, when starting an examination, the scope 30 is connected to the endoscope observation device 22. At this time, the identification information (scope ID) of the scope 30 is transmitted to the information management device 10 via the network 2. Sent to. When the examination end button is operated on the endoscope observation device 22 (or when the scope 30 is pulled out of the endoscope observation device 22) at the end of the examination, a notice of the end of the examination is transmitted to the information management device 10. Is done. In the information management device 10, the usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors information transmitted from the endoscope observation device 22, and determines the time from when the scope ID is transmitted to when the notification of the completion of the inspection is transmitted. Derived as time. When the inspection end notification is transmitted, the usage status monitoring unit 160 increases the number of times the corresponding scope 30 is used in the usage status table by one, and adds the inspection usage time derived this time to the usage time, and uses the usage status. The table is updated and recorded in the usage status storage unit 224. As described above, the usage status table is created.

  Note that the usage status table shown in FIG. 24 is an example shown for easy understanding. In FIG. 24, for example, the number of times of use and the time of use of the upper routine machines of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 are greatly different. In the second embodiment, the number of times of use of the plurality of scopes is reduced so that such a situation does not occur. It proposes a technique for leveling (equalizing) the usage time. Therefore, it should be noted that the usage status table illustrated in FIG. 24 is merely an example of the usage status.

  In the second embodiment, when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be assigned to each of the endoscopic examinations managed by the examination schedule management unit 110, the scope assignment unit 126 updates the use situation stored in the use situation storage unit 224. For reference, the scope 30 having a relatively small number of past uses or the past use time is preferentially assigned to the endoscopic examination.

  FIG. 25 shows a detailed flowchart of S56 in the scope assignment processing shown in FIG. The scope assigning unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 among the candidate scopes notified from the scope identification unit 124, and identifies the candidate scope with the least number of past uses (S130). .

  Hereinafter, an example will be described in which candidate scopes for examinations E1, E2, and E3 are specified by the scope search processing described in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes of the examinations E1, E2, and E3, and notifies the scope assigning unit 126 of the scope.

  The scope allocating unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224, and uses the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 for the examination E1. The scope GR-3 of the endoscope number 3 is specified as the scope having the smallest number of times (S130). The number of uses of the scope GR-3 is 40 times, which is more than the number of uses of the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-4, GR-5 and GR-6. Since there is no other scope that has a relatively small number of uses and the number of uses is 40 (Y in S132), the scope assignment unit 126 assigns the scope GR-3 to the examination E1 (S136). The scope allocating unit 126 contributes to equalizing the number of times of use of the scope by allocating the GR-3 having the least number of times of use to the test E1 in priority.

  After allocating the scope to the examination, the scope allocating unit 126 sets the tentative use count and the use time (temporary use state) as the use state of the scope (S138). Here, the number of uses of the endoscope number 3 is temporarily increased by one, and the use time is temporarily increased by 10 minutes (the scheduled inspection time of the upper routine inspection is 10 minutes) with reference to the inspection type master table 210 shown in FIG. . As a result, the provisional use count of the endoscope number 3 becomes “41”, and the provisional use time becomes “660 minutes”. This temporary usage status will be used thereafter in the allocation execution process shown in FIG.

  The provisional use count and use time are not reflected in the use state table of the use state storage unit 224. The provisional use situation is set only for the purpose of using the scope 30 for scheduling, and may be discarded when the scope 30 is scheduled for all the examinations.

  Next, the scope allocating unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1, 2, 4 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224, and assigns the endoscope numbers 1, 2 to the examination E2. Among the scopes 4 to 6, the scope GR-2 of the endoscope number 2 and the scope GR-4 of the endoscope number 4 are specified as the scopes with the least number of uses (S130). The number of uses of the scopes GR-2 and GR-4 is 50 times, which is relatively less than the number of uses of the scopes GR-1, GR-5 and GR-6. Two scopes having the same number of uses are specified (N in S132). Here, the scope allocating unit 126 refers to the scope usage status of the endoscope numbers 2 and 4 stored in the usage status storage unit 224 among the two scopes, and determines the endoscope as the scope with the shortest usage time. The scope GR-2 of No. 2 is specified (S134), and the scope GR-2 is assigned to the inspection E2 (S136). The scope allocating unit 126 contributes to equalization of the usage time of the scope by preferentially allocating the GR-R-2 having the least number of usage times and the least usage time among the candidate scopes to the inspection E2. The scope allocating unit 126 sets a tentative use count and a use time (temporary use state) as the use state of the scope of the endoscope number 2 (S138). That is, the provisional use count of the endoscope number 2 is “51”, and the provisional use time is “510 minutes”.

  Next, the scope allocating unit 126 refers to the scope usage statuses of the endoscope numbers 1 and 4 to 6 stored in the usage status storage unit 224 and refers to the endoscope numbers 1 and 4 to 6 for the examination E3. Among the scopes, the scope GR-4 of the endoscope number 4 is specified as the scope having the least number of uses (S130). The use number of GR-4 is 50 times, which is relatively less than the use number of scopes GR-1, GR-5, and GR-6. GR-4 is allocated (S136). The scope assigning unit 126 contributes to equalizing the number of use of the scopes by assigning the GR-4 having the least number of use among the candidate scopes to the test E3 with priority. The scope allocating unit 126 sets a tentative use count and a use time (temporary use state) as the use state of the scope of the endoscope number 4 (S138).

  As described above, when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be allocated to each endoscopic examination, the scope allocating unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 and Alternatively, by assigning the scope 30 having a relatively short use time in the past to the endoscopic examination preferentially, it contributes to equalization of the number of uses or the use time. In FIG. 25, the candidate scope with the least number of uses is identified in S130, and the candidate scope with the least use time is identified in S134. However, the order may be reversed. When there are a plurality of candidate scopes having the same number of times of use and the same use time, the scope assigning unit 126 may assign any of the candidate scopes to the endoscopic examination.

In the first and second embodiments, the allocation mode of the scope 30 in the inspection schedule has been described. In the following third embodiment, an allocation mode of the cleaning machines 50 in the cleaning schedule will be described.
<Example 3>
Returning to FIG. 3, the washing machine order holding unit 226 holds the priorities of the washing machines 50 to be assigned to the scope 30.
FIG. 26 shows a washing machine order table held in the washing machine order holding unit 226. The washing machine order table records the scope 30 in association with the priority order of the washing machine 50 to be assigned. In this washing machine ranking table, each scope is recorded on the vertical axis and each washing machine is recorded on the horizontal axis, and a priority is set for a combination of the scope and the cleaning machine. In this example, the first cleaning device 50a and the second cleaning device 50b use the chemical solution A, the third cleaning device 50c uses the chemical solution B, and the fourth cleaning device 50d uses the chemical solution C. . Note that the washing machine order table may associate the priorities of the washing machines 50 to be assigned to scope models, not to individual scopes.

  In the third embodiment, the first cleaning device 50a and the second cleaning device 50b may be of the same type, or may be of different types. The first washer 50a and the second washer 50b, the third washer 50c, and the fourth washer 50d use different chemicals, and therefore these models are different. When the plurality of washing machines 50 are constituted by different models as described above, the washing machine order holding unit 226 holds the priorities regarding the washing machine models.

  In the washing machine order table shown in FIG. 26, a set value 1 indicates that the priority is the highest, and a set value 2 indicates that the priority is the second highest. The setting value 3 indicates that the priority is the third highest. The setting value 0 indicates that the assignment to the scope 30 is prohibited.

  In the washing machine ranking table shown in FIG. 26, the set value 0 is given to the fourth washing machine 50d using the chemical solution C. This is due to the fact that, for example, the chemical solution C has a strong attack property that easily deteriorates the scope member, so that it is prohibited to use it for cleaning many scopes 30 in a medical facility. In this example, although the set value 2 is given to the upper treatment machines GT-1 and GT-2 and the lower treatment machine CT-1, the setting value 2 is given to other scopes. In this case, the setting value 0 is given and the use is prohibited. For example, the chemical solution C may be strongly acidic electrolyzed water.

  As described above, in the example illustrated in FIG. 26, the priorities of the cleaning devices 50 to be allocated are set based on the attack properties of the cleaning liquid used in the cleaning devices 50. The cleaning machine order table is appropriately created according to the policy of the medical facility, and by extending the cleaning machine order table depending on the level of attack, the life of the scope 30 can be expected to be prolonged. On the other hand, for example, strongly acidic electrolyzed water has an advantage that it is very inexpensive as a cleaning solution. Therefore, according to the policy focusing on the cost of the chemical solution, it is also possible to give a set value other than the set value 0 to the washing machine 50 using the strongly acidic electrolyzed water. Thus, the priorities of the cleaning machines 50 held by the cleaning machine order holding unit 226 are set based on the chemicals used in the cleaning machines 50.

  FIG. 27 shows a detailed flowchart of S110 in the cleaning machine assignment process shown in FIG. In S110, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 executes a search process of the owned cleaning machine 50 for each of the scopes 30 allocated by the scope allocation process of S18 (see FIG. 7), and uses the available cleaning machines. Identify 50.

  Hereinafter, the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, and CR-1 are assigned to the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4, respectively, by the scope assignment processing described in the embodiment. The example will be described with the assignment. That is, in a state where the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 12 is set, the washing machine allocation process is started.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in the second allocation processing unit 140, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 refers to the cleaning machine rank information held in the cleaning machine rank holding unit 226 and refers to the scopes GR-1 and GR-R. 2. With respect to GR-R-3 and C-R-1, washers 50 other than the set value 0 are extracted (S150). In S150, the washing machine 50 whose use is not prohibited is extracted. Here, for the scopes GR-1, GR-2 and GR-3 which are upper routine machines, the set values of the first washer 50a, the second washer 50b, and the third washer 50c are 0. Also, the set values of the cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c are not 0 for the scope CR-1 which is also the lower routine machine. Therefore, the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 specifies the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c as the candidate cleaning machines for each of the inspections E1 to E4 (S152). The specified candidate washer is notified to the washer allocator 144.

  FIG. 28 is a detailed flowchart of S114 in the cleaning machine assignment process shown in FIG. In S114, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30.

  First, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 performs cleaning machine allocation for the scope GR-1 of the inspection E1. The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule stored in the cleaning schedule storing unit 208 and specifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be allocated first among the candidate cleaning machines (S160). As described in the embodiment, when the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 notifies the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 of a usable time zone of the candidate cleaning machine, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 determines the notified time. With reference to the belt, the earliest allocatable cleaning machine 50 may be specified.

  Here, in the initial state, the candidate washing machines, that is, the first washing machine 50a, the second washing machine 50b, and the third washing machine 50c can be used in all the time zones. It has become. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 specifies that all of the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c can be allocated first (S160), and the cleaning that can be allocated first. It is determined that there are a plurality of devices (Y in S162). Here, the washing machine allocating unit 144 refers to the priority held in the washing machine order holding unit 226 and assigns the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b to the scope GR-1 of the inspection E1. It is recognized that the setting value 1 is given (S164). Thereby, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the first washer 50a to the scope GR-1 (S166). In this manner, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a having a higher priority to the scope GR-1, so that the cleaning can be performed by a washer suitable for the scope. The scheduled cleaning start time is set at 9:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set at 9:30, and registered in the cleaning schedule. As a result, the status of the first cleaning device 50a during 9:10 to 9:30 becomes “in use”.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 performs cleaning machine allocation for the scope GR-2 of the inspection E2. The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule stored in the cleaning schedule storing unit 208 and specifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be allocated first among the candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, since the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first cleaning machine 50a, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the second cleaning machine 50b and the third cleaning machine 50c first. It is determined that it is possible (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of washers that can be allocated first (Y in S162). Here, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 refers to the priority held in the cleaning machine order holding unit 226 and assigns the set value 1 to the second cleaning machine 50b for the scope GR-2 of the inspection E2. Is recognized (S164). Thereby, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the second washer 50b to the scope GR-2. In this way, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the second washer 50b having a higher priority to the scope GR-2. The scheduled cleaning start time is set at 9:10, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set at 9:30, and registered in the cleaning schedule.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 performs cleaning machine allocation for the scope GR-3 of the inspection E3. The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule stored in the cleaning schedule storing unit 208 and specifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be allocated first among the candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, since the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first washer 50a and the second washer 50b, the washer allocation unit 144 assigns the third washer 50c first. It is determined that it is possible (S160), and it is determined that the number of the identified cleaning machines 50 is one (N in S162). Thereby, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the third washer 50c to the scope GR-3. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, and registered in the cleaning schedule.

  For the scope GR-R-3, the setting value of the third cleaning device 50c is 2, and the priority is lower than the first cleaning device 50a and the second cleaning device 50b. Therefore, it is also possible to assign the first washer 50a or the second washer 50b to the scope GR-3 at a time when the first washer 50a or the second washer 50b becomes usable. However, in such a case, cleaning of the scope GR-3 becomes slow, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of working efficiency. Therefore, as long as the allocation is not prohibited, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 positively allocates even the cleaning machines 50 having a low priority.

  Next, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 performs cleaning machine allocation for the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E4. The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 refers to the cleaning schedule stored in the cleaning schedule storing unit 208 and specifies the cleaning machine 50 that can be allocated first among the candidate cleaning machines (S160). Here, the use schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first washer 50a, the second washer 50b, and the third washer 50c, and the washer allocator 144 sets the first washer 50a It is specified that all of the second and third washing machines 50b and 50c can be assigned first (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of washing machines that can be assigned first (Y in S162). .

  Here, the washing machine allocating unit 144 refers to the priority held in the washing machine order holding unit 226 and assigns the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E4. It is recognized that the setting value 1 is given (S164). Thereby, the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope CR-1 (S166). In this way, the washer allocating unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a having a higher priority to the scope CR-1 so that it can be cleaned by a cleaning machine suitable for the scope. The scheduled cleaning start time is set at 9:30, and the scheduled cleaning end time is set at 9:50, and registered in the cleaning schedule.

  FIG. 29 illustrates a cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130 in the third embodiment. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. That the scope GR-2 is cleaned by the second cleaning device 50b; that the scope GR-3 is cleaned by the third cleaning device 50c; It is registered that the scope CR-1 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50a. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  As compared with FIG. 14 described in the embodiment, the fourth cleaning machine 50d is not used in the cleaning schedule shown in FIG. This is because the use of the fourth cleaning device 50d for the scope CR-1 and in other words, the use of the chemical solution C is prohibited, so that no scope is assigned to the fourth cleaning device 50d. I have. In FIG. 26, for the scopes GT-1, GT-2, and CT-1, the set value of the fourth washing machine 50d is 2, and therefore, cleaning of these scopes is performed. At the time of scheduling, the fourth washing machine 50d may be assigned.

  In the above, the case where the use of the fourth washing machine 50d whose set value is 0 is prohibited in the washing machine order holding unit 226 has been described, but the washing schedule generation processing may be operated by relaxing this limitation. This is because in the above-described use prohibition operation, the fourth cleaning device 50d is not normally used, and the cleaning process of the scope 30 does not efficiently proceed, and the number of scopes 30 waiting for cleaning increases. Therefore, the strict restriction of prohibiting the cleaning machine 50 having the set value 0 from being allocated to the scope 30 may be adopted, but a strict restriction of avoiding the allocation to the scope 30 as much as possible. The strict restriction and the gradual restriction may be determined by, for example, a scheduling mode. When promoting the efficiency of the cleaning process, the user selects the gradual restriction mode so that the set value 0 is set. The washer 50 may be assignable to the scope 30.

  In this case, it is preferable that the usage status storage unit 224 (or a history recording unit 232 to be described later) stores the number of times of cleaning with the cleaning machine 50 having the set value 0 for each scope 30. The washer allocating unit 144 determines that the number of times of cleaning with the washer 50 having the set value 0 is not prominently increased by the scope 30, that is, the number of times of cleaning with the washer 50 having the set value 0 is equal. , It is preferable to assign a washing machine 50 to the scope 30. Note that an upper limit (for example, 20 times) may be set for the number of times of washing with the washing machine 50 having the set value 0, and the washing machine allocating unit 144 assigns the washing machine 50 having the set value 0 beyond the upper limit. It may not be necessary.

<Example 4>
In the fourth embodiment, at the time of scheduling the scope 30, an assignment process is performed so that a certain scope 30 is used by a specific doctor as much as possible. By setting the scope 30 and a physician who uses it as a set, for example, for the scope 30 that has been maintained in a good condition for a long time, it can be analyzed that a frequently used physician is operating well. Thus, the scope 30 or the like where a failure is likely to occur can also be analyzed such that there is some problem in the operation of a frequently used doctor.

Returning to FIG. 3, the allocation scope information storage unit 228 stores priority scope information relating to the scope to be allocated to the doctor with priority.
FIG. 30 shows a priority scope table stored in the allocation scope information holding unit 228. The priority scope table records priority scope information defining the priority order of the scope 30 to be assigned to each doctor who is in charge of endoscopy for each scope model. Here, the priorities are given on the assumption that the medical facility owns a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model, and the assigned scope information holding unit 228 determines the order of the plurality of scopes 30 of the same model. , The scope which is preferentially assigned to the doctor is stored as priority scope information. In FIG. 30, “priority scope 1” is the scope with the highest allocation priority, “priority scope 2” is the scope with the second allocation priority, and “priority scope 3” is the priority with the allocation priority. Is the third scope.

  For example, regarding the upper routine machine, the doctor A sets the assignment priority of the scope GR-2 to the first and the assignment priority of the scope GR-1 to the second. This priority scope information is information for designating the priority scope to be assigned preferentially when the priority scope can be assigned to the doctor, and does not necessarily mean that the priority scope must be assigned to the doctor. For example, in a test scheduled to be performed by the doctor A, if the statuses of the scopes GR-2 and GR-1 are not "standby" at the scheduled start time of the test, the scope assigning unit 126 sets the other upper routine machine To avoid delays in testing.

  In the fourth embodiment, the scope allocating unit 126 performs the endoscopy based on the priority scope information stored in the allocated scope information storing unit 228 and the information on the doctor in charge of the endoscopy managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. Determine the scope 30 to be assigned to the mirror examination.

  FIG. 31 shows a detailed flowchart of S56 in the scope assignment processing shown in FIG. The scope assigning unit 126 acquires the priority scope information held by the assigned scope information holding unit 228 based on the doctor in charge of the endoscopy (S180).

  Hereinafter, an example will be described in which candidate scopes for examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 are specified by the scope search processing described in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the scope specifying unit 124 specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as the candidate scopes of the examinations E1, E2, and E3, and specifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as the candidate scopes of the examination E4. Then, it notifies the scope assignment unit 126.

  The scope allocating unit 126 acquires priority scope information regarding the scope model to be used from the allocated scope information holding unit 228 for each test based on the doctor information in charge of each of the tests E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S180).

  With reference to the examination schedule of FIG. 4, the doctor E is the doctor in charge of the examination E1, and the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the priority scope table and determines that the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-3, It recognizes that the scope 2 is GR-1 and the priority scope 3 is GR-2. The doctor E is in charge of the examination E2, and the scope allocating unit 126 determines that the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-R-1, the priority scope 2 is GR-5, and the priority scope 3 is GR-4. Recognize that The doctor E is in charge of the examination E3, and the scope assigning unit 126 determines that the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-5, the priority scope 2 is GR-6, and the priority scope 3 is GR-4. Recognize that In addition, the doctor E is in charge of the examination E4, and the scope allocating unit 126 recognizes that the priority scope 1 of the lower routine machine is C-R-3.

  Regarding the examination E1, the scope allocating unit 126 determines that the scope GR-3, which is the priority scope 1, is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 (Y in S182). The scope GR-3 is allocated to E1 (S186). Thereby, the doctor B uses the scope GR-3 in the examination E1.

  Next, regarding the examination E2, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that the scope GR-1 that is the priority scope 1 is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 1, 2, 4 to 6 (S182). Y), therefore, the scope GR-1 is assigned to the inspection E2 (S186). This allows the doctor C to use the scope GR-1 in the examination E2.

  Next, regarding the examination E3, the scope assignment unit 126 determines that the scope GR-5, which is the priority scope 1, is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 2, 4 to 6 (Y in S182). ), So the scope GR-5 is assigned to the test E3 (S186). Thereby, the doctor E uses the scope GR-5 in the examination E3.

  Finally, regarding the examination E4, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that the scope CR-3 that is the priority scope 1 is included in the candidate scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 17 (Y in S182), Therefore, the scope CR-3 is assigned to the inspection E4 (S186). This allows the doctor D to use the scope CR-3 in the examination E4.

  When there are a plurality of priority scopes among the candidate scopes as described above, the scope allocating unit 126 allocates a higher priority priority scope to the examination. When the priority scope is not included in the candidate scopes, that is, when none of the priority scope 1, the priority scope 2, and the priority scope 3 are included (N in S182), the scope assigning unit 126 sets the other than the priority scope. The candidate scope is specified (S184) and assigned to the examination (S186). As described above, if there is no assignable priority scope at the scheduled examination start time, instead of waiting for the priority scope to become available, another scope is assigned and an efficient examination schedule is created. Is preferred. If there is no candidate scope, it is preferable to notify the user of that.

  FIG. 32 shows the inspection schedule updated by the inspection schedule management unit 110. When notified of the assignment result from the scope assignment unit 126, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers the assigned scope 30 in the applicable examination. Here, the scope GR-3 is used for the examination E1, the scope GR-1 is used for the examination E2, the scope GR-5 is used for the examination E3, and the scope E4 is used for the examination E4. The use of the scope CR-3 is registered. The inspection schedule management unit 110 records the updated inspection schedule in the inspection schedule holding unit 206.

  In the fourth embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 preferentially assigns a specific scope 30 to an examination assigned to a specific doctor as much as possible, so that the doctor 30 frequently uses the scope 30.

  The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the usage status of the scope 30 used in the actually performed endoscopy, and records the usage status in the history recording unit 232. Thus, the history recording unit 232 records the usage history information of the scope 30 used in the actual endoscopy. The history recording unit 232 associates the scope 30 with the examination room in which the scope 30 was used, the doctor used, the use date and time information (examination start time and examination end time), the identification information of the used patient, examination type information, and the like. Record. It is not necessary for the history recording unit 232 to record such information as usage history information on the scope 30. The history recording unit 232 corresponds to an examination room, a doctor, a patient, and the scope 30 that have performed an endoscopy managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. The attached implementation information may be recorded.

  The history recording unit 232 also records a history related to the failure of the scope 30. For example, the failure history may include the doctor who was operating when the failure occurred, the examination type information, and the date and time information.

  The display processing unit 150 displays the usage history information of the plurality of scopes 30 recorded in the history recording unit 232 in a format that can be compared. At this time, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates a statistic based on the usage history information recorded in the history recording unit 232. Here, the statistics are, for the scope 30, the number of times of use and the time of use calculated for each doctor, and the display content deriving unit 152 has a function of deriving statistics corresponding to the content to be displayed. The display processing unit 150 displays the statistics calculated by the display content deriving unit 152.

  The period specifying unit 154 specifies a period of the usage history information. This period is specified by the user inputting into the input frame provided on the screen of the terminal device 12. When the period specifying unit 154 specifies a period, the display content deriving unit 152 extracts the usage history information of the period from the history recording unit 232, calculates a statistic to be displayed, and the display processing unit 150 The usage history information during the period, that is, the statistic calculated by the display content deriving unit 152 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 12.

  FIG. 33 shows an example of the usage history information displayed on the terminal device 12. When the user inputs a period from 2013/11/11 to 2014/10/30 as the display period, the period specifying unit 154 specifies this period, and the display content deriving unit 152 displays the usage history information for this period. It is extracted from the history recording unit 232. Here, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates the number of times of use of the upper routine machine for each doctor, creates a number of times of use table, and the display processing unit 150 displays the table on the display of the terminal device 12. The display content deriving unit 152 may create a list of the failure histories in this period and calculate the number of failures, and the display processing unit 150 may display the number of failures and the failure history together.

  The use frequency table allows the user to specify a doctor who has less trouble with any scope and uses the scope frequently. Conversely, the user can identify a doctor who frequently has a failure in any scope and uses the scope frequently. As described above, the scope assigning unit 126 performs the scope assigning process so that the specific doctor preferentially uses the specific scope, so that the history information in which the scope 30 is actually used is used when performing a failure analysis or the like. Useful information. Further, the display processing unit 150 displays the use history information of the plurality of scopes 30 in a comparable format, so that the user can recognize the difference in the use state of the scopes 30 at a glance.

  FIG. 34 shows an example of usage history information displayed on the terminal device 12. This use count graph is a representation of the use count table shown in FIG. 33 in a graph format. By expressing in a graph format in this way, the difference in the use state of the scope 30 can be understood at a glance.

  In FIGS. 33 and 34, the display processing unit 150 displays the number of times the scope has been used for each doctor for each scope 30 as usage history information. For example, the display processing unit 150 displays the scope usage time for each doctor as usage history information. Is also good. The display processing unit 150 may display the number of times and the time of use of the scope 30 used by the doctor for each doctor.

<Example 5>
In the fifth embodiment, when the scope 30 is scheduled, a process of allocating a cleaning task to an inspection preparer is performed so that a certain scope 30 is cleaned by a specific inspection preparer as much as possible. By setting the cleaning work of the scope 30 and the inspection preparer who cleans it, for example, the person who frequently cleans the scope 30 that has maintained a good condition for a long time is well cleaned. On the other hand, the scope 30 or the like where a failure is likely to occur can also be analyzed such that there is some problem in the cleaning process.

Returning to FIG. 3, the assigned person information holding unit 230 holds, with respect to the scope 30, priority person information regarding the person who assigns the cleaning task with priority.
FIG. 35 shows a priority staff table stored in the assigned staff information holding unit 230. The priority staff table records, for each scope 30, priority staff information that defines the priority order of the inspection preparer (hereinafter, also referred to as “person in charge”) to which the cleaning task is assigned. In other words, the assigning person information holding unit 230 holds, for one scope 30, the priority order of the person who assigns the cleaning task. In FIG. 35, “priority person 1” is the person with the highest assignment priority, and “priority person 2” is the person with the second assignment priority.

  For example, in the scope GR-R-1, the assignment priority of the engineer A is the first and the assignment priority of the engineer B is the second. This priority person information is information for designating that priority person is to be assigned preferentially when the priority person can be assigned to cleaning work. It does not have to be assigned to the cleaning task. For example, when the inspection using the scope GR-1 is completed and the technician A and the technician B are performing other tasks when cleaning the scope, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 sets a different one. A technician (eg, technician C) is assigned to the cleaning task so that there is no delay in the cleaning task.

  In the fifth embodiment, the person in charge assigning unit 149 is in charge of the cleaning of the scope based on the priority person information held in the person in charge assigning information holding unit 230 and the scope information managed by the inspection schedule managing unit 110. Who decides.

  FIG. 36 shows a flowchart of the person assignment processing. The person in charge assigning process shown in FIG. 36 is added as a process between S118 and S120 in the washing machine assigning process shown in FIG. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, after the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine 50 to the used scope (S114), sets a scheduled cleaning start time and a scheduled cleaning end time (S118), and then assigns a person in charge. 149 acquires the priority staff information held in the assigned staff information holding unit 230 based on the scope 30 to be cleaned (S200).

  Hereinafter, the scopes GR-3, GR-1, GR-5, and CR-3 are applied to the tests E1, E2, E3, and E4, respectively, by the scope assignment process described in the fourth embodiment. Will be described with an example where.

  FIG. 37 shows a cleaning schedule generated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. Here, the allocation result by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. Specifically, the scope GR-3 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30. That the scope GR-1 is cleaned by the second cleaning device 50b; that the scope GR-5 is cleaned by the third cleaning device 50c; It is registered that the scope CR-3 is cleaned by the cleaning machine 50d.

  The cleaning schedule management unit 130 of the fifth embodiment manages the cleaning schedule of a plurality of scopes including a cleaning person in charge of the cleaning operation, in addition to the cleaning machine 50, the scheduled cleaning start time information and the scheduled cleaning end time information. . Hereinafter, a method of registering a person in charge of cleaning in the cleaning schedule will be described.

  The person in charge assigning unit 149 acquires priority person information from the person in charge assigning information holding unit 230 for each scope 30 based on the scope information assigned to each of the examinations E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S200).

  Referring to the priority staff table in FIG. 35, the priority staff 1 of the scope GR-3 is the engineer B, the priority staff 1 of the scope GR-1 is the engineer A, and the scope GR The priority staff member of -5 is the engineer C, and the priority staff member 1 of the scope C-R-3 is the engineer C.

  With regard to the scope GR-3, the technician assigning unit 149 determines whether the engineer B who is the priority technician 1 can be in charge of cleaning the scope GR-3 (S202). In the fifth embodiment, a technician schedule is set for each technician, and in the technician schedule, the technician assigning unit 149 determines whether there is a vacancy at the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time. It is determined whether B can take charge of the cleaning of the scope GR-3. If no other work is included in the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time of the scope GR-3, the operator assigning unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope GR-3 to the engineer B. It is determined that it is possible (Y in S202), and the task of cleaning the scope is assigned to the engineer B (S206). If another task is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the personnel schedule, the personnel allocating unit 149 gives the technician B the cleaning task of the scope GR-3. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). If it is not possible to assign even to the engineer C who is the priority person 2, the person assignment unit 149 specifies a person other than the priority person who has a vacancy at the time (S204). Is assigned to the cleaning operation (S206).

  Next, with regard to the scope GR-1, the person in charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer A who is the priority person 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope GR-1 (S202). If it is possible to allocate the cleaning work of the scope GR-1 to the engineer A (Y in S202), the allocator 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope GR-1 to the engineer B (S206). ). If another task is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the technician schedule, the technician assigning unit 149 gives the engineer A the cleaning task of the scope GR-1. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if it is not possible to assign even to the engineer B who is the priority person 2, the person assignment unit 149 specifies a person other than the priority person who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), And assigned to the cleaning operation (S206).

  Next, with regard to the scope GR-5, the technician assigning unit 149 determines whether the technician C who is the priority technician 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope GR-5 (S202). If the operator C can assign the cleaning work of the scope GR-5 to the engineer C (Y in S202), the operator assigning unit 149 allocates the cleaning service of the scope GR-5 to the engineer C (S206). ). If another task is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the technician schedule, the technician assigning unit 149 gives the technician C the cleaning task of the scope GR-5. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if it is not possible to assign even to the engineer B who is the priority person 2, the person assignment unit 149 specifies a person other than the priority person who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), And assigned to the cleaning operation (S206).

  Next, with regard to the scope CR-3, the technician assigning unit 149 determines whether the technician C who is the priority technician 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope CR-3 (S202). When it is possible to assign the cleaning work of the scope CR-3 to the technician C (Y in S202), the technician allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope CR-3 to the technician C (S206). ). If another task is included in either the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the technician schedule, the technician assigning unit 149 gives the technician C the cleaning task of the scope CR-3. It is determined that assignment is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if it is not possible to assign even to the engineer B who is the priority person 2, the person assignment unit 149 specifies a person other than the priority person who has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), And assigned to the cleaning operation (S206).

  When both the priority staff 1 and the priority staff 2 can be assigned to a certain cleaning job, the staff assignment unit 149 assigns a staff member with a higher priority to the cleaning job. The assigned staff information is notified to the cleaning schedule management unit 130.

  FIG. 38 shows the cleaning schedule updated by the cleaning schedule management unit 130. When notified of the assignment result from the staff assignment unit 149, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 registers the assigned staff in the corresponding cleaning process. Here, the engineer B is in charge of cleaning the scope GR-3, the engineer A is in charge of cleaning the scope GR-1 and the engineer C is in charge of cleaning the scope GR-5. And that the technician C is in charge of cleaning the scope CR-3. As described above, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 also adds the person who performs the cleaning operation to the cleaning schedule, and records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

  In the fifth embodiment, the person in charge assigning unit 149 preferentially assigns the cleaning work of a specific scope 30 to be assigned to a specific inspection preparer as much as possible. More opportunities.

  The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the cleaning process status of the scope 30 that has been actually performed, and records the status in the history recording unit 232. For example, each washing machine 50 is provided with a reading means for reading the person in charge, so that the person in charge of reading the ID card or the like with the reading means can identify the person in charge of the cleaning operation. Has become. The use status monitoring unit 160 monitors the cleaning process status, and the history recording unit 232 records cleaning history information of the scope 30 that has been cleaned. The history recording unit 232 records, in association with the scope 30, the cleaned washer 50, date and time information of cleaning (cleaning start time, cleaning end time), a person in charge of cleaning, and the like. It is not necessary for the history recording unit 232 to record such information as cleaning history information on the scope 30, and the cleaning machine 50 that has performed the cleaning managed by the cleaning schedule management unit 130, the person in charge of cleaning, and the scope 30 that has been cleaned. May be recorded.

  The history recording unit 232 also records a history related to the failure and maintenance of the scope 30. For example, the history may include information on a person in charge who worked when a failure or maintenance was performed, and date and time information.

  The display processing unit 150 displays the cleaning history information of the plurality of scopes 30 recorded in the history recording unit 232 in a comparable format. At this time, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates a statistic based on the cleaning history information recorded in the history recording unit 232. Here, the statistics are the number of times of cleaning, the cleaning time, and the like calculated for each person in charge of the scope 30, and the display content deriving unit 152 has a function of deriving statistics according to the content to be displayed. The display processing unit 150 displays the statistics calculated by the display content deriving unit 152.

  The period specifying unit 154 specifies a period of the cleaning history information. This period is specified by the user inputting into the input frame provided on the screen of the terminal device 12.
