International Publication No. 2016/093062

The person in charge of cleaning works carries the endoscope that has been used for the inspection to the cleaning room and puts it in the cleaning tank of the cleaning machine at the scheduled cleaning start time for machine cleaning. After cleaning, for those endoscopes that are not planned to be used on the day, the person in charge performs a drying operation to wipe off water sufficiently with a paper towel, etc., and remove the air/water supply button, suction button, forceps plug, etc. Store on a hanger in the storage. Water remaining in the channel of the endoscope causes bacteria to be generated in the storage, so the person in charge must remove the water sufficiently before storing it in the storage.

On the other hand, after the cleaning is completed, the person in charge of the endoscope to be used on the day will store it in a temporary storage place with the air/water supply button, the suction button, the forceps plug, etc. attached. The temporary storage place is a place where a person assisting the inspection goes to pick up an endoscope that is scheduled to be used in the inspection. For example, an empty space provided in the washing room is set as the temporary storage place.

In this way, when the place where the endoscope is stored differs depending on whether or not the endoscope is to be used after the cleaning is completed, it is preferable that the person in charge constructs a mechanism that does not mistake the storage place. In addition, when the cleaned endoscope is to be used on the day of use, the person in charge does not need to perform the manual drying operation, but may mistakenly perform the drying operation. Since this drying work consumes time for the person in charge, it is preferable to take measures to prevent unnecessary drying work.

Before the start of the examination, the person in charge of assisting the examination goes to the storage place to pick up the endoscope scheduled to be used in the examination schedule and connects it to the observation device. Therefore, letting the person in charge know where the endoscope that is scheduled to be used, in other words, where to go to pick up the endoscope, can be done smoothly according to the schedule. It is important to make progress.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a technique for improving the work efficiency of a person who carries out work in accordance with schedule information.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an endoscopic examination work support system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The endoscopic examination work support system 1 is a system for supporting endoscopic examination work, and appropriately schedules the use schedule and cleaning schedule of the individual of the endoscope (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “scope”) 30. In addition, it realizes the function of appropriately rescheduling the scheduled schedule. The endoscopic examination work support system 1 includes an information management device 10, a terminal device 12, a storage 14, endoscope observation devices 22a to 22d, and first to fourth washing machines 50a to 50d, which 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 examination room 20a is an endoscope observation apparatus 22a, the second examination room 20b is an endoscope observation apparatus 22b, the third examination room 20c is an endoscope observation apparatus 22c, and the fourth examination room. 20d is equipped with each of the endoscope observation devices 22d. In a medical facility, an examination room is often used for upper examination and lower examination. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first inspection chamber 20a, the second inspection chamber 20b, and the third inspection chamber 20c are used for the upper inspection, and the fourth inspection chamber 20d is used for the lower inspection. Hereinafter, when the first inspection chamber 20a to the fourth inspection chamber 20d are not particularly distinguished, they may be referred to as "inspection chamber 20", and when the endoscope observation devices 22a to 22d are not particularly distinguished, " It may also be referred to as an endoscope observation device 22". A 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 have various endoscopes (scopes) in order to carry out many endoscopic examinations per day, and also use multiple individuals for models that are frequently used. Owns For example, as the model of the scope for the upper examination, the upper routine machine used for routine examination, the upper image quality machine that can provide high-resolution images, the upper nasal machine inserted through the nostril, the fine blood vessels on the mucosal surface There are an upper magnifying machine and an upper treatment machine having a treatment function, which are capable of observing a running pattern, a structural pattern of a duct, etc. In addition, as the model of the scope for the lower examination, the lower routine machine used for routine examination, the lower enlargement machine that can observe the running pattern of minute blood vessels on the mucous membrane surface and the structural pattern due to gland ducts, the lower part with treatment function There are treatment machines. In medical facilities, owned scopes are registered and managed in a database.

A plurality of washing machines are installed in the washing chamber 40, and 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 washing machine 50a to the fourth washing machine 50d may be referred to as "washing machine 50" unless particularly distinguished. In this example, four cleaning machines 50 are installed in one cleaning room 40, but they may be installed in a plurality of cleaning rooms dispersedly.

The washing machine 50 generally uses different chemical solutions for washing depending on the model. For example, as a chemical solution used for cleaning, peracetic acid, phthalal, strongly acidic electrolyzed water, etc. are representative, and the cleaning machine 50 is designed to use only a predetermined chemical solution. In other words, the model of the washing machine 50 and the chemical solution to be used are in one-to-one correspondence, and it is not recommended that the washing machine 50 use a chemical solution other than the prescribed chemical solution. Further, the cleaning time may vary depending on the model of the cleaning machine 50, and thus the cleaning machine 50 has characteristics peculiar to the model.

The storage 14 is arranged in a storage room in the medical facility, and stores the scope 30 in a state in which water is sufficiently wiped off by a person in charge of cleaning. Before the daily endoscopic inspection work is started, all the scopes 30 are stored in the storage cabinet 14, and an inspection preparation person such as a technician takes out the scopes 30 from the storage cabinet 14 and carries it to the inspection room 20. , Is connected to the endoscope observation device 22. When the examination by the doctor is completed, the examination preparation person carries the used scope 30 to the washing room 40, puts it in the washing tank of the washing machine 50 for washing, and carries the washed scope 30 to the examination room again. Then, the doctor reuses it for a new examination. The person in charge of cleaning the scope 30 and the person in charge of carrying the cleaned scope 30 to the inspection room may be the same inspection preparer or different inspection preparers.

In medical facilities, it is general that an individual of scope 30 is given an individual name for distinguishing it from other individuals. For example, since the same type of scope 30 has the same shape, an individual name is given and each is managed. The scope 30 is attached with a sticker or the like on which the individual name is printed so that the individual name can be distinguished, so that the doctor or the examiner can distinguish each individual. In recent years, RFID tags and the like are built in the endoscope body, and each individual is electronically identified when the endoscope observation device 22 is connected to the camera control unit (CCU) or by reading using the tag reading means. You can do it. For such a scope 30, by obtaining the individual identification information in the RFID tag at the time of connecting to the CCU or before or after the start of cleaning in the cleaning machine, the same discrimination as in the case where the seal is used is performed. It is possible to

The endoscopic examination work support system 1 of the embodiment sets, for each individual of the scope 30, schedule information defining which examination is used, which washing machine is used for washing, and the like. Thereby, the inspection preparation person can see the schedule information to know which inspection room 20 should be carried in and which cleaning machine 50 should be used for cleaning. At this time, the individual who is printed on the sticker attached to the scope 30 allows the inspection preparation person to appropriately move and wash the scope 30 according to the schedule information.

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 examination work on one day, and the examiner can judge 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 endoscopic examination work support system 1 may have a large display (display device) that can be seen by anyone, and the schedule information may be displayed on the large display.

A medical worker such as a doctor or an examiner can hold the mobile terminal 60 and receive a necessary notification from the information management device 10. The portable terminal 60 may be a portable terminal device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a tablet, and is connected to 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/received to/from the information management device 10. The mobile terminal 60 is lent to each medical staff in the facility, and the mobile terminal 60 and the medical staff are managed in association with each other. Therefore, when transmitting information to a specific medical staff, the information management device 10 can specify the mobile terminal 60 associated with the medical staff 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 examination scheduled to start at a certain timing. The scope 30 scheduled to be used at that timing and the cleaning schedule As a matter of course, the scope 30 that has been assigned cannot be assigned to the examination. Therefore, 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 can be confirmed at any timing.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a virtual status of the scope 30 that is set during creation of schedule information. The scope 30 takes one of the statuses "in use" (ST1), "used" (ST2), "cleaning" (ST3), and "standby" (ST4). The arrow shown in FIG. 2 indicates the transition direction of the status. The information management device 10 recognizes the status of all the scopes 30 at an arbitrary timing, and assigns 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 “standby”, and scopes 30 in other statuses cannot be assigned to the examination. Note that the status of the scopes 30 stored in the storage 14 is “standby”, and therefore, it is assumed that the statuses of all the scopes 30 are “standby” when starting the generation process of the schedule information. And

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

Each component of the information management device 10 can be realized in terms of hardware by a CPU, a memory, or another LSI of an arbitrary computer, and in terms of software by a program or the like loaded in the memory. It depicts the functional blocks realized by the cooperation of. Therefore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by only hardware, only software, or a combination thereof.

The examination order is generated in an in-hospital information system such as an ordering system and issued to the endoscopic department system. The information management device 10 acquires the inspection order for one day generated in the in-hospital information system before the start of the endoscopic inspection work of one day, 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 scheduling may be before the first inspection is performed on the day of the inspection, or after the inspection work on the previous day is completed, and in any case, the inspection order for one day is fixed. If

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

At the start of the scheduling process, first, the examination schedule management unit 110 acquires a plurality of pieces of order information for one day from the order information storage unit 202 and creates an examination schedule. Specifically, the examination schedule management unit 110, the examination room that performs the endoscopic examination specified by the examination ID, the scheduled examination start time information and the scheduled examination end time information, and the examination type related to the examination contents of the endoscopic examination. Generates and manages information and multiple endoscopic examination schedules, including the attending physician. The examination schedule management unit 110 stores the generated examination schedule in the examination schedule holding unit 206. Thereafter, as described below, the examination schedule management unit 110 registers the 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 the inspection schedule management unit 110 acquires 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 examinations for one day is 41, and examination numbers are set as E1 to E41 for each examination. Here, the examination schedule of the examination number E1 is as follows: the examination room is the first examination room 20a, the examination start time is 9:00, the examination end time is 9:10, the examination type is "upper routine examination", and the doctor in charge is " Doctor B” is shown. An inspection ID is assigned to each inspection, and although this inspection ID is different from the inspection number, the inspection number also uniquely identifies the inspection in the inspection schedule, so in the following description, The exam number may also be used as information to identify the exam.

Although the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4 is automatically derived from a plurality of inspection orders for one day in the present embodiment, the inspection start scheduled time information and the scheduled inspection end time information are included in the order information. When the information on the doctor in charge and the examination room is not included, the examination schedule management unit 110 may generate the examination schedule. The examination schedule management unit 110 also has a function of reconstructing the generated examination schedule and performing rescheduling processing according to the examination situation.

For example, the storage unit 200 includes an examination type master table that stores scheduled examination times for each examination type, a doctor master table that stores a doctor in charge, and examination conditions (that is, whether the examination is an upper examination or a lower examination) performed in the examination room. Information for identifying whether or not) is stored. The examination order includes patient identification information (patient ID) and examination type information. When the examination schedule management unit 110 acquires the examination order for one day, the examination type master table, the doctor master table in charge, and An inspection schedule is generated by referring to the inspection conditions.

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

In the examination type master table 210, for example, the examination scheduled time of the “upper routine examination” of the examination type number 1 is 10 minutes, and the scheduled examination time of the “upper nasal examination” of the examination type number 2 is 15 minutes. There are things recorded. The scheduled inspection time for the “lower routine inspection (3 years of experience)” of the inspection type number 16 is set to be 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time for the “lower routine inspection” of the inspection type number 9, which is It shows that when a doctor with less than 3 years' experience (a young doctor) examines it, it takes 5 minutes more than a doctor with more than 3 years' experience (a veteran doctor) as a scheduled time. It should be noted that the fact that the young doctor requires more time than the veteran doctor may be set in the doctor master table in charge. The examination schedule management unit 110 assigns one examination to each examination room 20 according to the examination type master table 210, and sets the examination start scheduled time and the examination end scheduled time.

Next, the doctor allocation unit 129 in the first allocation processing unit 120 allocates a doctor to the examination in each examination room 20. At this time, the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns the doctors in charge to the examination so that the same doctors in charge do not overlap in the same time zone. In this way, 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 the examination schedule is generated. When the doctor allocating unit 129 allocates 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 examination 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. When the doctor E is assigned to the lower routine examination indicated by the examination number E12 by the doctor allocating unit 129, the estimated time for the examination indicated by the examination number E12 is because the doctor E is a young doctor having less than 3 years of experience. , 5 minutes longer than the scheduled inspection time (15 minutes) of the normal lower routine inspection. When the examination schedule management unit 110 allocates 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, On the other hand, when the doctor E is assigned, the examination schedule management unit 110 refers to the examination scheduled time of the examination type number 16 shown in FIG. 5, lengthens the scheduled examination time by 5 minutes, and resets the scheduled examination end time. Set.

As described above, when the order information does not include the laboratory information, the scheduled examination start time information, the scheduled examination end time information, the doctor information in charge, etc., the examination schedule management unit 110 presupposes that the scope 30 is assigned to the examination. As described above, by referring to the examination type master table 210 and the like, the examination room to perform the examination, the scheduled examination start time, and the scheduled examination end time are set, and the doctor assigning unit 129 assigns doctors 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 about the scope 30 owned by the medical facility, and has a owned scope master table 222, a usage status storage unit 224, a washer order holding unit 226, and an assigned scope information holding unit 228. An assignment person information holding unit 230 and a history recording unit 232 are provided. The owned scope master table 222 is a database for managing the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility, and information on all the scopes 30 owned by the medical facility is registered.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the owned scope master table 222. In the possession scope master table 222, the endoscope number set in the medical facility, the model name, and the individual name in the medical facility are registered in association with each other. Here, as the scope model for the upper examination, the upper routine machine used for routine examination, the upper image quality machine that can provide high resolution images, the upper nasal machine inserted through the nostril, the running of fine blood vessels on the mucous membrane surface An upper magnifying machine capable of observing a morphology, a structural pattern by a duct, etc., and an upper treatment machine having a treating function are registered.

Six upper routine machines are owned in the medical facility, and each has GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, GR-4, GR-5, GR-6. The individual name of is attached. In addition, three upper image quality machines are owned, each is given individual names G-H-1, G-H-2, G-H-3, and one upper nasal machine is owned, G -N-1 individual name is attached, two upper magnifying machines are owned, each is given GZ-1 and GZ-2 individual names, and two upper treatment machines are owned. , And individual names of GT-1 and GT-2 are attached to each.

In addition, as the model of the scope for the lower examination, the lower routine machine used for routine examination, the lower enlargement machine that can observe the running pattern of minute blood vessels on the mucous membrane surface and the structural pattern due to gland ducts, the lower part with treatment function The treatment machine is registered. Three lower routine machines are owned, each is given the individual name of C-R-1, C-R-2, C-R-3, one lower expansion machine is owned, and one C-Z- An individual name of 1 is given, one lower treatment machine is owned, and an individual name of CT-1 is given.

A tape or the like on which each individual name is printed is attached to each scope 30 so that a doctor or an examiner can visually identify the individual. The means for identifying and displaying the individual is not limited to the tape, but especially when there are a plurality of scopes 30 of the same model, it is possible to visually identify the individual so that they can be distinguished within the same model. It is preferable that It should be noted that each scope 30 may be provided with an RFID tag that records information (scope ID) for identifying each, and the scope ID may be read by an ID reading unit that is an RFID reader.

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

FIG. 7 shows a basic flowchart for generating the schedule information of the scope 30. The examination 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 inspection start scheduled time of the plurality of order information, sets the inspection numbers in order from the earliest scheduled inspection start time (S12), and generates the inspection schedule (S14). For a plurality of examinations having the same scheduled examination start time, the examination numbers may be set in order from the smallest examination room number. The inspection room numbers are set to "1" for the first inspection room 20a, "2" for the second inspection room 20b, "3" for the third inspection room 20c, and "4" for the fourth inspection room 20d. .. The inspection schedule generated in S14 is the one shown in FIG. 4, with the time axis as the vertical axis and the inspection room as the horizontal axis, within the time frame specified by the scheduled inspection start time information and the scheduled inspection end time information. The inspection order is assigned to.

The scheduled start time information of the examination and the scheduled finish time information of the examination may be the information of the time itself indicating the hour or minute, but may be the time zone in 5 minute increments. For example, in the endoscopic department, when scheduling is performed in units of 5 minutes, scheduled start time information and scheduled inspection end time information are scheduled to start based on a frame of 5 minutes as a unit. 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 cleaning machine that performs cleaning after the scheduled inspection end time to the allocated scope 30. Therefore, first, in each examination room, a process for extracting the examination to which the scope 30 is assigned is executed (S16). When the examination of each examination room is extracted by the examination for assignment examination, the processing for assigning the scope 30 to the extracted examination is executed by the first assignment processing unit 120 (S18). When the scope 30 is assigned to the inspection by the scope assignment processing, the information of the assigned scope 30 is registered in the inspection schedule, and subsequently, the washing machine 50 to be washed is assigned to the assigned scope 30. The process is executed by the second allocation 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 inspections are completed (N of S22), and when the allocation processing is completed for all inspections (Y of S22), the scheduling processing of the scope 30 ends.

When the steps S16 to S20 are executed, the scope 30 is assigned to the examination in each examination room 20, and the washing machine 50 is assigned to the assigned scope 30. When the usage schedule and the cleaning schedule of the scope 30 are determined in this way, the second allocation processing unit 140 that allocates the cleaning machine 50 sets the processed flag for the inspection number of the inspection to which the scope 30 is allocated. To set. The first assignment processing unit 120 that assigns the scope 30 to the examination refers to the flags of each examination number and executes the step of S16 until all the examination number flags are processed (N of S22), and If the examination number flag of No. has been processed (Y of S22), the scheduling process of the scope 30 is terminated 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 the examination extraction unit 122, the scope identification unit 124, the scope assignment unit 126, the scope assignment availability confirmation unit 128, and the doctor. The allocation unit 129 is provided. As described above, the doctor assigning unit 129 is in charge of assigning a doctor to the examination when generating the examination schedule.

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

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

Subsequently, it is determined whether N is equal to the total number of inspection rooms (in this example, the total number of inspection rooms=4) (S40). If N has not reached the total number of inspection rooms (N of S40), N is incremented by 1. (S42), and returns to S34.

In S34, the next scheduled inspection start time of the examination E2 extracted from the second examination room 20b and the examinations E1, E3, and E4 extracted from the first examination room 20a, the third examination room 20c, and the fourth examination room 20d The inspection, that is, the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E5, E7, and E8 are compared to determine whether all the scheduled inspection start times of the inspections E5, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled inspection start time of the inspection E1. To be done. In the examination schedule shown in FIG. 4, all the scheduled examination start times of the examinations E5, E7, and E8 are later than the scheduled examination start time of the examination E2 (Y in S34), so the examination extraction unit 122 selects the examination E2 as follows. The scope 30 is specified as an inspection to be assigned (S36).

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

FIG. 9 shows a detailed flowchart of the scope allocation processing shown in S18 of the basic flowchart. In the first assignment processing unit 120, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns a scope to be used from the plurality of scopes 30 owned to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule managing unit 110. To do.

As a premise for performing this scope allocation processing, first, the scope identification unit 124 identifies the statuses of all the scopes 30 at the scheduled start time of the inspection extracted as the scope allocation target (S50). As described with reference to FIG. 2, the status of the scope 30 is specified in any of ST1 to ST4.

FIG. 10 shows a detailed flowchart of the status identifying process of S50. First, the scope identification unit 124 sets the scheduled inspection start time of the examination to be assigned (S70). Since the scheduled inspection start times of the examinations 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 with endoscope numbers 1 to 19 recorded in the owned scope master table 222.

If the set time (9:00) is within the allocated examination time (Y of S72) by referring to the schedule information of the scope 30, the status of the scope 30 is identified as "in use". (S74). If the set time is outside the inspection time (N of S72) and after the assigned inspection is completed and before the cleaning is started (Y of S76), the status of the scope 30 is identified as “used”. (S78). If the set time is not after the inspection but before the cleaning is started (N in S76) and is within the cleaning time (Y in S80), the status of the scope 30 is identified as "during cleaning" (S82). .. If the set time is not within the cleaning time (N in S80), the status of the scope 30 is identified as "standby" (S84). In this way, the scope specifying unit 124 can grasp the status “standby”, that is, the assignable scope at the scheduled inspection start time, by specifying the status at the set time for all the scopes.

Returning to FIG. 9, the scope identifying unit 124 executes a search process of the owned scope to identify the usable scope 30 (S52). Here, the scope identifying unit 124 narrows down the scope identified as "standby" in S50 and executes the search process. Scopes 30 with a status other than "Waiting", that is, "in use", "used", and "cleaning" status, cannot be assigned to the inspection at that time, so search them by excluding them from the search target. You can increase efficiency.

FIG. 11 shows a detailed flowchart of the scope search processing in S52. The scope identifying unit 124 executes the search process for all the scopes 30 having the status of “standby”. Here, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the inspection type of the inspection to be assigned. Here, the scheduled inspection start time of all the examinations E1 to E4 to be assigned is 9:00, and it is specified in S50 that the status of all the scopes 30 is “standby” at 9:00. There is. Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether or not the scope 30 having the “standby” status corresponds to the inspection type for each of the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4 (S90).

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

With reference to the owned scope master table 222 shown in FIG. 6 and the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 4, the scope identifying unit 124 performs the internal inspection as the upper inspection scope for the upper inspections of the inspection numbers E1, E2, and E3. The scopes with the mirror numbers 1 to 14 are determined as candidate scopes (S92), while the scopes with the endoscope numbers 15 to 19 which are lower inspection scopes are not assigned to the inspections with the inspection numbers E1, E2, and E3. It is determined (S94). Further, for the lower inspection of the inspection number E4, the scope identifying unit 124 determines the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 19 which are the lower inspection scopes as the candidate scopes (S92), while the upper inspection scopes are used. It is determined that the scopes having the endoscope numbers 1 to 14 cannot be assigned to the examination having the examination number E4 (S94). The scope identifying unit 124 notifies the scope assigning unit 126 of the correspondence between the identified candidate scope and the examination number.

Returning to FIG. 9, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope 30 to be used to each examination managed by the examination schedule managing unit 110, based on the candidate scope identified by the scope identifying unit 124. Specifically, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns one of the candidate scopes identified by the scope identifying unit 124 to the endoscopic examination. In the following example, among the plurality of candidate scopes, the one with the smallest 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 assigning 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 has notified that the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 14 can be assigned to the examinations E1, E2, and E3. Therefore, the scope assigning unit 126 notifies the examination E1 of The scope GR-1 of the endoscope number 1 is assigned (S56). The scope assigning unit 126 sets the status of the scope G-R-1 to "in use" so that the same scope G-R-1 is not assigned to another examination (S58). When the status is set to "in use", the scope GR-1 is removed from the candidate scopes when the scope is next assigned by the scope assigning unit 126.

Next, the scope assignment unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E2 (Y of 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 allocation unit 126 allocates 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 assigning unit 126 determines that there is a scope that can be assigned to the examination E4 (Y of S54). Here, the scope specifying unit 124 has notified that the scopes with the endoscope numbers 15 to 19 can be assigned to the examination E4, and thus the scope assigning unit 126 notifies the examination E4 of the endoscope numbers. The 15 scopes C-R-1 are assigned (S56), and the status of the scopes C-R-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 assigning unit 126 notifies the user that it cannot be assigned (S60). Note that the timing of this notification may be after the assignment processing of the scope 30 is completed for all inspections. At least the user needs to recognize that there is an examination to which the scope 30 is not assigned before starting the endoscopic examination work of one day.

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

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

Returning to FIG. 7, when the scope allocation process of S18 ends, the washer allocation process of S20 starts.
In FIG. 3, the cleaning schedule management unit 130 manages the 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 allocation processing unit 140 allocates the cleaning machine 50 for cleaning the scope 30 used in each endoscopic examination from among the plurality of cleaning machines 50. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 generates a cleaning schedule for the scope 30 based on the cleaning machine 50 allocated to the scope 30 by the second allocation processing unit 140, and records the cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

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

The washer identifying unit 142 executes a search process for the washer 50 owned by each of the scopes 30 assigned in S18, and identifies the available washer 50 (S110). When the use of the washing machine 50 is not limited, that is, when the use of all the washing machines 50 is permitted for the scope 30, the washing machine specifying unit 142 causes all the first washing machines 50a to the fourth washing machines 50a to 4th. It is specified that the washing machine 50d can be used. At this time, the washing machine specifying unit 142 refers to the washing schedule held in the washing schedule holding unit 208 to acquire the usable time zone for each washing machine 50. The usable time period means a time period when there is no scheduled cleaning. Note that when the second allocation processing unit 140 first executes the cleaning machine allocation processing, the cleaning schedule is blank, that is, the cleaning schedule is not registered in any of the cleaning machines 50, and therefore all the time is not set. The obi is ready for use. The washer 50 that can be used and the usable time zone thereof are notified to the washer allocation unit 144.

The washing machine allocating unit 144 allocates the washing machine 50 for washing the scope 30 used in each endoscopic examination from among the plurality of usable washing machines 50. Here, the washer allocation unit 144 cleans the scope 30 such that the scheduled cleaning end time is the time after the scheduled inspection end time of the scope 30 allocated to the endoscopic examination by the scope allocation unit 126. Allocate the washing machine 50 for. In the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of improving work efficiency, the same time as the scheduled inspection end time can be set as the scheduled cleaning start time. However, a predetermined time interval is set between the scheduled inspection end time and the scheduled cleaning start time. May be provided.

The cleaning machine allocating unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine 50 in order from the earliest scheduled inspection end time among the plurality of scopes 30 to which the cleaning machine 50 is assigned, that is, the plurality of scopes 30 allocated to the inspection in S18. .. Here, the scheduled inspection end time of the inspections E1 to E3 is 9:10, and the scheduled inspection end time of the inspection E4 is 9:15. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 determines that the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4 are in order. Then, the washer 50 is assigned to the scope to be used. Note that the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 may allocate the cleaning machines 50 in the order in which the scopes 30 are allocated to the inspection. In the present embodiment, it is premised that the assignable cleaning machine 50 is always present with respect to the scope 30 (Y in S112). However, when the assignable cleaning machine 50 is not present (S112). N) is notified that the washing machine 50 cannot be assigned to the scope 30 (S116).

The cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope GR-1 used in the inspection E1 (S114). In addition, in the embodiment, the scheduled cleaning time of all the cleaning machines 50 is set to 20 minutes, but the scheduled cleaning time may be different for each cleaning machine 50, and the cleaning scheduled time may differ depending on the cleaning mode in the cleaning machine 50. Good. The washer allocation unit 144 sets the scheduled end time of the inspection E1 to the scheduled start time of cleaning, and 20 minutes later to the scheduled end time of cleaning (S118). With this allocation, the first washer 50a is set to the status "in use" during the period from 9:10 to 9:30. The status of the washing machines 50 is either “in use” or “standby”, and when starting the generation process of the schedule information, it is necessary to check that the status of all the washing machines 50 is “standby”. Assumption. The status of the scope G-R-1 between 9:10 and 9:30 is "cleaning".

Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-2 used in the inspection E2 (S114). The cleaning machine allocation 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 after that, to the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). With this allocation, the second washer 50b is set to the status "in use" during the period from 9:10 to 9:30.

Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the third cleaning machine 50c to the scope GR-3 used in the inspection E3 (S114). The cleaning machine allocation 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 after that, to the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). By this allocation, the status of "in use" is set for the third washing machine 50c during the period 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 cleaning machine allocation 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 after that, to the scheduled cleaning end time (S118). With this allocation, the fourth washer 50d is set to the status "in use" during the period from 9:15 to 9:35.

In this way, the cleaning machine allocation process is repeated until the cleaning machines 50 are allocated to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (N in S120). When the cleaning machines 50 have been allocated to all the scopes 30 used in the inspection (Y of S120), the cleaning machine allocation processing ends. The result of the allocation by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is notified to the cleaning schedule management unit 130.

FIG. 14 shows the 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, and specifically, the scope G-R-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a during 9:10 to 9:30. That the second cleaning machine 50b cleans the scope GR-2, the third cleaning machine 50c cleans the scope GR-3, and the fourth between 9:15 and 9:35. It is registered that the scope C-R-1 is washed by the washing 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, in order to facilitate 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, but in reality, the display processing is performed at the stage when all scheduling is completed. The unit 150 displays the individual schedule. In FIG. 15, C1 indicates that the first washing machine 50a, C2 indicates the second washing machine 50b, C3 indicates the third washing machine 50c, and C4 indicates the fourth washing machine 50d. Also, E1, E2, etc. indicate the inspection numbers of the inspections in use. The information indicated by the individual schedule is schedule information of each individual.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the washer allocation process of S20 is completed, it is determined whether the processes of all the inspection numbers are completed (S22). If not completed, the process returns to S16 and the basic flow is repeated. ..
Hereinafter, a process of repeatedly executing the steps S16 to S20 to generate the schedule information of the scope 30 will be described. The steps S16 to S20 described above regarding the inspections E1 to E4 are the first processing.

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

In S18, the scope identification unit 124 determines the scopes of endoscope numbers 4 to 14 which are the upper inspection scopes as the candidate scopes for the inspections E5, E6, and E7, and the lower inspection for the inspection E8. The scopes having endoscope numbers 16 to 19 are determined as candidate scopes. At the scheduled examination start time (9:15) of the examinations E5, E6, and E7, the scopes of the endoscopes 1 to 3 have a status of "cleaning". Therefore, the candidate scopes of the examinations E5, E6, and E7 are It won't. Further, at the scheduled start time (9:20) of the examination E8, the status of the scope of the endoscope No. 15 is "cleaning", and therefore it is not a candidate scope of the examination E8. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assigning unit 126.

In response to the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 gives the scope G-R-4 with the endoscope number 4 to the examination E5 and the scope G-R with the endoscope number 5 to the examination E6. R-5 is assigned to scope E-R-6 of endoscope number 6 for examination E7. Further, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope CR-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 G-R-4 of the inspection E5 and the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope G-R-5 of the inspection E6, The third washer 50c is assigned to the scope G-R-6 of the inspection E7, and the fourth washer 50d is assigned to the scope C-R-2 of the inspection E8. Note that the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes G-R-4, GR-5, and GR-6 to 9:30 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 9:50, and 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 washer allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

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

In S18, the scope identifying unit 124 determines the scopes of endoscope numbers 1 to 3 and 7 to 14 which are the upper examination scopes as the candidate scopes for the examinations E9, E10, and E11, and the examination E12. , Scopes of endoscope numbers 15 and 17 to 19 which are lower inspection scopes are determined as candidate scopes. At the scheduled examination start time (9:30) of the examinations E9, E10, and E11, the scopes of the endoscopes Nos. 4 to 6 have a status of "cleaning", and therefore, the candidate scopes of the examinations E9, E10, and E11 are It won't. Further, at the scheduled start time of the examination E12 (9:40), the status of the scope of the endoscope No. 16 is "washing", and therefore it is not a candidate scope for the examination E12. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assigning unit 126.

The scopes of endoscopes 1 to 3 have a scheduled cleaning end time at 9:30, and the cleaning is completed at 9:30. Therefore, the status is "standby", and the examinations E9 and E10 are performed. , E11 are candidate scopes. The scope of the endoscope No. 15 has a scheduled cleaning end time at 9:35, the status is “standby” at 9:40, and is a candidate scope for the examination E12.

Upon receiving the notification from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 causes the scope G-R-1 having the endoscope number 1 for the examination E9 and the scope G-R having the endoscope number 2 for the examination E10. R-2 is assigned to scope E-R-3 of endoscope number 3 for examination E11. Further, the scope allocation unit 126 allocates the scope CR-1 of the endoscope number 15 to the examination E12.

In this way, the scope assigning unit 126 can reassign the scope that is "standby" after the cleaning is completed at the scheduled start time of the examination to the examination. That is, in the scheduling process, the scope assigning unit 126 performs the internal observation so that the time after the scheduled cleaning end time by the cleaning machine 50 assigned to the scope 30 by the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 becomes the scheduled inspection start time. A scope 30 can be assigned for mirror inspection. In the third step, the washer allocating unit 144 efficiently allocates the washer 50 to the scope 30, so that the scopes GR-1, GR-2, GR-3, and C are included. -R-1 has been reassigned to the examinations to be started after each scheduled cleaning end time, which enables efficient scheduling of the scope 30.

In S20, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a to the scope GR-1 of the inspection E9 and the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-2 of the inspection E10. The third washer 50c is assigned to the scope G-R-3 of the inspection E11, and the first washer 50a is assigned to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E12. Note that the washer allocation unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scopes GR-1, GR-2, and GR-3 to 9:50 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:10, and 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 allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the washer allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

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

<Fourth time: S16 to S20>
In S16, the inspection extraction unit 122 extracts the inspection E14 from the first inspection chamber 20a, the inspection E15 from the second inspection chamber 20b, the inspection E13 from the third inspection chamber 20c, and the inspection E19 from the fourth inspection chamber 20d. If the step S34 of FIG. 8 is executed here, the scheduled start time of the examination E16 next to the examination E13 in the third examination chamber 20c (10:00) is the scheduled start time of the examination E19 in the fourth examination chamber 20d. It is earlier than (10:05) (N in S34). That is, the examination E19 extracted from the fourth examination chamber 20d is started after the examination E16 of the third examination chamber 20c which has not been extracted yet. Therefore, the examination extraction unit 122 determines that the scope should not be assigned to the examination E19 before the examination E16, and removes the examination E19 from the examinations to which the scope is to be assigned (S38). The inspections E13, E14, and E15 are specified as inspections to which the scope 30 is assigned.

In S18, the scope specifying unit 124 determines the scopes of endoscope numbers 7 to 14 which are the upper examination scopes as the candidate scopes for the examination E13 having the scheduled examination start time of 9:45. At this scheduled examination start time (9:45), the status of the scopes with endoscope numbers 1 to 3 is "used" and the status of the scopes with endoscope numbers 4 to 6 is "cleaning". , Is not a candidate scope for inspection E13. Further, the scope identifying unit 124 determines scopes of endoscope numbers 4 to 14 which are upper examination scopes as candidate scopes for the examinations E14 and E15 whose scheduled examination start time is 9:50. At this scheduled examination start time (9:50), the status of the scopes of endoscope numbers 1 to 3 is "cleaning", and therefore the scope is not a candidate scope for the examination E13. The identified candidate scope is notified to the scope assigning unit 126.

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

In S20, the washer allocation unit 144 allocates the fourth washer 50d to the scope G-H-1 of the inspection E13 and the second washer 50b to the scope G-R-4 of the inspection E14. The third washer 50c is assigned to the scope GR-5 of the inspection E15. Note that the washer allocation unit 144 sets the scheduled cleaning start time of the scope G-H-1 to 9:55 and the scheduled cleaning end time to 10:15, and starts cleaning of G-R-4 and G-R-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 allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the washer allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule.

FIG. 19 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30. In this way, 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 final inspection 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 allocation unit 126 is reflected in the inspection schedule, and the allocation result by the washer allocation unit 144 is reflected in the cleaning schedule. As described above, the allocation of the scope 30 is completed for all the inspections, and the allocation of the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30 is completed, whereby the schedule information generation process of the scope 30 ends.

FIG. 21 shows an individual schedule of the scope 30 for one day.
The result of allocation of the scope 30 by the scope allocation unit 126 and/or the result of allocation of the cleaning machine 50 by the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 12 by the display processing unit 150.
For example, the display processing unit 150 may read the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206 and display the inspection schedule table shown in FIG. 20 on the display of the terminal device 12 or the mobile terminal 60. The display processing unit 150 may read the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 and display the cleaning schedule table shown in FIG. 20 on the display of the terminal device 12 or the mobile terminal 60. The display processing unit 150 may also display the inspection schedule table and the cleaning schedule table on the same screen. As a result, the doctor and the inspection preparation person can easily recognize which scope 30 is used for the inspection, and the inspection preparation person can easily recognize which cleaning machine 50 is used to wash the used scope 30. become.

In addition, the display processing unit 150 reads out the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206, reads out the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208, and displays the individual schedule table of the scope 30 on the display of the terminal device 12 or the mobile terminal 60. It may be displayed. This individual schedule table is shown in FIG. 21, and the inspection preparer can know the schedule of each individual in the scope 30 by generating the individual schedule table. If the inspection preparatory person wants to know the situation of the scope 30 at a certain point of time, the individual schedule table can know the situation such as whether the scope 30 is being cleaned or the inspection is being used.

As shown in FIG. 21, the scope C-R-1 is scheduled to be washed from 12:30 to 12:50. Depending on the medical facility, if the lunchtime of the examiner is set to be 12:30 to 13:30, for example, the cleaning process may be informed that it is outside the working hours.

The end time determination unit 146 determines whether or not the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time (12:30) as a result of the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 assigning the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30. When the end time determination unit 146 determines that the scheduled cleaning end time is after the reference time, the cleaning machine allocation availability confirmation unit 148 notifies the user (eg, operator) of the availability of cleaning machine allocation. You can go. For example, the timing of this notification may be after the assignment processing of the scope 30 is completed for all the inspections. Note that, with reference to FIG. 21, since the scheduled cleaning end time of scope G-H-1 is 12:35, the cleaning machine allocation availability confirmation unit 148 determines whether cleaning machines can be allocated to this cleaning schedule. Ask the user.

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

Hereinafter, various aspects regarding the scheduling process by the information management device 10 of the embodiment will be described.
<Example 1>
In the embodiment, in the scope search process shown in FIG. 11, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the usable scope 30 based on the examination type information of the endoscopic examination to be assigned. At this time, the inspection type was distinguished by whether it is an upper inspection or a lower inspection. However, in the first embodiment, the scope identification unit 124 uses the inspection type information indicating more detailed inspection contents, The usable scope 30 is specified.

FIG. 22 shows a scope ranking table held in the scope ranking holding unit 204. In the scope rank table, the scope model to be preferentially assigned is recorded in association with the inspection type. Here, "priority scope model 1" is information about the model that should be assigned the highest priority, and "priority scope model 2" is information about the model that should be assigned the second priority. If the scope 30 designated by “priority scope model 1” is “standby”, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the scope 30 as a candidate scope. On the other hand, if the scope 30 designated by "priority scope model 1" is not "standby" but the scope 30 designated by "priority scope model 2" is "standby", the scope identifying unit 124 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 allocated to the examination type of the endoscopic examination, and the scope specifying unit 124 selects the scope 30 of the model having a high priority order as the candidate scope. Specify as.

FIG. 23 is a detailed flowchart of scope search processing according to the first embodiment. The scope identifying unit 124 executes the search process for all the scopes 30 having the status of “standby”. The scope identifying unit 124 identifies the 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 an upper inspection, it is determined that the upper inspection scope corresponds, and the lower inspection scope does not correspond. Similarly, when the inspection type information of the inspection indicates a lower inspection, it is determined that the lower inspection scope is compatible and the upper inspection scope is not compatible.

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

The inspection types of the inspections E1, E2, and E3 are “upper routine inspections”, and the scope identifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204 and refers to the model with the highest priority (priority scope). Recognize that model 1) is an "upper routine machine". Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether or not the "upper routine machine" is included in the corresponding scope (S96). Here, since the scopes with endoscope numbers 1 to 6 exist as the upper routine machine (Y in S96), the scope identifying unit 124 determines the scopes with endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as candidate scopes (S92). ..

Further, 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 the model having the highest priority (priority scope model 1) Recognize that is a "lower routine machine". Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether or not the corresponding scope includes the "lower routine machine" (S96). Here, since the scopes with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 exist as the lower routine machine (Y in S96), the scope identifying unit 124 determines the scopes with endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as candidate scopes (S92). ..

In addition, regarding the inspections E1 to E3, when the scope of the priority scope model 1 is not included in the corresponding scopes (N of S96), the scope identifying unit 124 refers to the scope order information held in the scope order holding unit 204. Then, it recognizes that the model having the second highest priority (priority scope model 2) is the "upper image quality machine". Therefore, the scope identifying unit 124 determines whether or not the corresponding scope includes the "upper high image quality machine" (S98), and if it is included (Y in S98), the scope identifying unit 124 determines the upper image quality. The scope of the machine is determined as a candidate scope (S92).

In addition, when the scope of the priority scope model 2 is not included in the corresponding scopes (N in S98), the scope identification unit 124 gives priority to the scopes determined to correspond to the inspection type in S90. A scope of a model other than the scope model is determined as a candidate scope (S92). The scope identifying unit 124 notifies the identified candidate scope to the scope assigning unit 126, and the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope 30 to the inspection as described in the embodiment.

When the scope identification unit 124 identifies the scope 30 of a model having a low priority, and the scope assignment unit 126 assigns the identified scope to the endoscopic examination, the scope assignment permission/inhibition confirmation unit 128 assigns the scope assignment. It is preferable to confirm the availability with the user. For example, when the priority scope model 1 is not assigned, the scope assignability confirmation unit 128 may confirm the user by allocating the model with the lower priority, but the scope order holding unit 204 sets it. If a certain model is assigned (for example, priority scope model 2 is assigned), user confirmation may not be performed. That is, only when the scope identifying unit 124 determines a model other than the priority scope model as a candidate scope and the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the candidate scope to the inspection, the scope assignability confirming unit 128 determines the scope. You may confirm with the user whether or not the allocation is possible. If the scope identifying unit 124 cannot determine the priority scope model as a candidate scope (N in S98), the scope assigning confirmation unit 128 notifies the user of the fact that there is no candidate scope. You may.

The timing of this confirmation may be after the assignment processing of the scope 30 is completed for all inspections. At a minimum, the user needs to be aware that there are exams that do not have the proper scope 30 assigned before the start of the endoscopy task of the day.

Comparing the embodiment with the first embodiment, for example, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, an upper routine machine, scope G-R-1, is assigned to inspection E9, which is an upper nasal examination. There is. 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 the model having the highest priority order of the examination E9 (priority scope model 1) is “upper nose. By recognizing that the scope is the “machine”, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the scope G-N-1 of the endoscope number 10 as the candidate scope for the examination E9. Similarly, for the examination E10, which is the upper inspection, the scope specifying unit 124 uses the scopes G-H-1 to G-H-3 of the endoscope numbers 7 to 9 that are the upper high-definition machines as candidate scopes. Identify. Therefore, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope G-N-1 to the examination E9 and the scope G-H-1 to the examination E10. As described above, in Example 1, since the scope 30 having a high priority, that is, the scope 30 suitable for the examination is assigned to the endoscopic examination, the degree of completion of the examination schedule can be increased as compared with the embodiment.

<Example 2>
In the endoscope inspection work support system 1, a scope that has been worn and deteriorated is likely to have a functional deterioration or a failure. In general, a case in which the scope is consumed or deteriorated remarkably is the case where the number of times of use and the time of use of the scope are extremely larger than those of other scopes. The purpose is to make the usage time even.

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

Referring to FIG. 1, when starting the examination, the scope 30 is connected to the endoscope observation device 22, and at this time, the identification information (scope ID) of the scope 30 is transmitted via the network 2 to the information management device 10. Sent to. When finishing the examination, when the examination ending button is operated in the endoscope observing apparatus 22 (or when the scope 30 is pulled out from the endoscope observing apparatus 22), the examination ending notification is transmitted to the information management apparatus 10. To be done. In the information management device 10, the usage monitoring unit 160 monitors the information transmitted from the endoscope observation device 22, and determines the time from the transmission of the scope ID to the transmission of the inspection end notification by using the inspection use. Derived as time. When the inspection end notification is sent, the usage status monitoring unit 160 increases the usage count of the corresponding scope 30 in the usage status table by one, and adds the inspection usage time derived this time to the usage time to calculate the usage status. The table is updated and recorded in the usage status storage unit 224. The usage status table is created as described above.

Note that the usage status table shown in FIG. 24 is an example shown only 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 endoscope numbers 1 to 6 are greatly different. It proposes a technology for leveling (equalizing) the usage time. Therefore, it should be noted that the usage status table shown in FIG. 24 is merely an example of usage status.

In the second embodiment, the scope allocation unit 126 displays the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be allocated to each endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. With reference to the scope 30, the scope 30 having a relatively small number of past uses or a relatively short past use time is preferentially assigned to the endoscopic examination.

FIG. 25 shows a detailed flowchart of S56 in the scope allocation processing shown in FIG. Of the candidate scopes notified from the scope specifying unit 124, the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224, and specifies the candidate scope having the smallest number of past usages (S130). ..

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

The scope assigning unit 126 refers to the scope use states of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 stored in the use state 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 times of use of the scope GR-3 is 40 times, which is more than the number of times of use of the scopes GR-R-1, GR-2, GR-4, GR-5, and GR-6. Since there is no other scope that has a relatively small number of times and is used 40 times (Y in S132), the scope assigning unit 126 assigns the scope GR-3 to the examination E1 (S136). The scope allocation unit 126 contributes to equalization of the number of times of use of the scope by prioritizing the G-R-3 having the least number of times of use to the inspection E1.

When the scope is assigned to the inspection, the scope assigning unit 126 sets the provisional use count and the use time (provisional use situation) as the use situation of the scope (S138). Here, the number of times the endoscope number 3 is used is temporarily increased by 1, and the use time is temporarily increased by 10 minutes (the scheduled inspection time of the upper routine inspection is 10 minutes) by referring to the inspection type master table 210 shown in FIG. .. As a result, the provisional number of times of use of the endoscope No. 3 becomes "41", and the provisional use time becomes "660 minutes". This tentative usage status will be used thereafter in the allocation execution process shown in FIG.

Note that the provisional number of times of use and the time of use are not reflected in the usage status table of the usage status storage unit 224. The provisional usage status is set only for the purpose of being used for scheduling the scope 30, and may be discarded when the scope 30 is scheduled for all the examinations.

Next, the scope assignment 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 refers to the scope E for the examination E2. Of the scopes 4 to 6, the scope GR-2 with the endoscope number 2 and the scope GR-4 with the endoscope number 4 are specified as the scopes that are used the least number of times (S130). The scopes GR-2 and GR-4 have been used 50 times, which is relatively smaller than 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 allocation 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 selects the endoscope with the shortest usage time as the endoscope. The scope GR-2 of the number 2 is specified (S134), and the scope GR-2 is assigned to the inspection E2 (S136). Of the candidate scopes, the scope allocation unit 126 preferentially allocates GR-2, which has the least number of times of use and the least time of use, to the inspection E2, thereby contributing to equalization of the times of use of the scopes. The scope allocation unit 126 sets the number of times of use and the time of use (temporary use status) as the use status of the scope of the endoscope No. 2 (S138). That is, the temporary use number of the endoscope No. 2 is “51”, and the temporary use time is “510 minutes”.

Next, the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the scope use states of the endoscope numbers 1 and 4 to 6 stored in the use state storage unit 224, and refers to the scope E of the endoscope E 1 to the examination E3. The scope G-R-4 with the endoscope number 4 is specified as the scope that has been used the least number of times (S130). The number of uses of the GR-4 is 50 times, which is relatively smaller than the number of uses of the scopes GR-1, GR-5, and GR-6. GR-4 is allocated (S136). The scope allocation unit 126 contributes to equalization of the number of times of use of the scope by preferentially allocating G-R-4 having the least number of times of use among the candidate scopes to the inspection E3. The scope allocation unit 126 sets the number of times of use and the time of use (temporary use status) as the use status of the scope of the endoscope number 4 (S138).

As described above, when there are a plurality of scopes 30 that can be assigned to each endoscopic examination, the scope assigning unit 126 refers to the usage status stored in the usage status storage unit 224 and refers to the number of past usages. Alternatively, the scope 30 having a relatively short usage time in the past is preferentially assigned to the endoscopic examination, which contributes to leveling the usage frequency or usage time. Note that, in FIG. 25, the candidate scope that is used the least number of times is specified in S130 and the candidate scope that is used the least time is specified in S134, but this order may be reversed. When there are a plurality of candidate scopes having the same number of times of use and the same usage time, the scope assigning unit 126 may assign any of the candidate scopes to the endoscopic examination.

The above Examples 1 and 2 have described the allocation mode of the scope 30 in the examination schedule. In Example 3 below, an allocation mode of the cleaning machines 50 in the cleaning schedule will be described.
<Example 3>
Returning to FIG. 3, the washer order holding unit 226 holds the priority order of the washer 50 to be assigned to the scope 30.
FIG. 26 shows a washing machine ranking table held in the washing machine ranking holding unit 226. The priority order of the washer 50 to be allocated is recorded in the washer order table in association with the scope 30. In this washing machine order table, each axis is recorded on the vertical axis and each washing machine is recorded on the horizontal axis, and the priority order is set for the combination of the scope and the washing machine. In this example, the first cleaning machine 50a and the second cleaning machine 50b use the chemical solution A, the third cleaning machine 50c uses the chemical solution B, and the fourth cleaning machine 50d uses the chemical solution C. .. In the washer order table, the priority order of the washer 50 to be assigned may be associated not with the scope individual but with the scope model.

In the third embodiment, the first washing machine 50a and the second washing machine 50b may be the same model, but may be different models. The 1st washing machine 50a and the 2nd washing machine 50b, and the 3rd washing machine 50c and the 4th washing machine 50d use different chemicals, therefore these models are different. In this way, when the plurality of washing machines 50 are composed of different models, the washing machine order holding unit 226 holds the priority order of the washing machine types.

In the washer order table shown in FIG. 26, the setting value 1 indicates that the priority order is the highest, and the setting value 2 indicates that the priority order is the second highest. Further, 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 washer order table shown in FIG. 26, the set value 0 is given to the fourth washer 50d that uses the chemical liquid C. This is because, for example, since the chemical liquid C has a strong attack property that easily deteriorates the scope member, it is prohibited to use many scopes 30 for cleaning in a medical facility. In this example, the setting value 2 is given to the upper treatment machines GT-1 and GT-2 and the lower treatment machine CT-1 but to the other scopes. For example, the setting value 0 is given and the use is prohibited. For example, the chemical liquid C may be strongly acidic electrolyzed water.

As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the priority order of the cleaning machine 50 to be assigned is set based on the attack property of the cleaning chemical liquid used in the cleaning machine 50. The washer order table is created as appropriate according to the policy of the medical facility, and the life of the scope 30 can be expected to be extended by creating the washer order table depending on the strength of the attack. On the other hand, for example, strongly acidic electrolyzed water has an advantage that it is extremely inexpensive as a cleaning chemical solution. Therefore, according to the policy focusing on the cost of the chemical solution, it is possible to give a setting value other than the setting value 0 to the washing machine 50 that uses the strongly acidic electrolyzed water. In this way, the priority of the washing machine 50 held by the washing machine order holding unit 226 is set based on the chemical solution used in the washing machine 50.

FIG. 27 shows a detailed flowchart of S110 in the washer allocation process shown in FIG. In S110, the washer identifying unit 142 executes a search process for the own washer 50 for each of the scopes 30 assigned by the scope assigning process in S18 (see FIG. 7) to determine which washer can be used. Identify 50.

Hereinafter, the scopes GR-R-1, GR-2, GR-3, and CR-1 are respectively assigned to the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4 by the scope assignment processing described in the embodiment. A description will be given of the assigned example. That is, the cleaning machine allocation process is started in the state where the inspection schedule shown in FIG. 12 is set.

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

FIG. 28 shows a detailed flowchart of S114 in the washer allocation process shown in FIG. In S114, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine 50 to the scope 30.

First, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine to the scope GR-1 of the inspection E1. The washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the washing schedule held in the washing schedule holding unit 208 and specifies the earliest assignable washing machine 50 among the candidate washing machines (S160). As described in the embodiment, in the case where the cleaning machine specifying unit 142 notifies the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 of the usable time zone of the candidate cleaning machine, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 determines the notified time. The earliest assignable washing machine 50 may be specified by referring to the band.

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 use all the time zones, that is, the status of all the time zones is "standby". It has become. Therefore, the cleaning machine allocation 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 can be performed. It is determined that there are a plurality of machines (Y in S162). Here, the washer allocating unit 144 refers to the priority order held in the washer order holding unit 226 and assigns the first washer 50a and the second washer 50b to the scope GR-1 of the inspection E1. It is recognized that the set value 1 is given (S164). As a result, the washer allocation unit 144 allocates the first washer 50a to the scope G-R-1 (S166). In this way, the cleaning machine assigning unit 144 allocates the first cleaning machine 50a having a high priority to the scope GR-1 so that the cleaning machine suitable for the scope can be used for cleaning. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, and is registered in the cleaning schedule. As a result, the status of the first cleaning machine 50a between 9:10 and 9:30 becomes "in use".

Next, the washer assignment unit 144 assigns an washer to the scope GR-2 of the inspection E2. The washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the washing schedule held in the washing schedule holding unit 208 and specifies the earliest assignable washing machine 50 among the candidate washing machines (S160). Here, since the usage 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 the washing machine is available (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of earliest assignable washing machines (Y of S162). Here, the washer allocating unit 144 refers to the priority order held in the washer order holding unit 226, and the setting value 1 is given to the second washer 50b for the scope GR-2 of the inspection E2. Is recognized (S164). As a result, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the second cleaning machine 50b to the scope GR-2. In this way, the washer allocation unit 144 allocates the second washer 50b having the higher priority to the scope GR-2. The scheduled cleaning start time is set to 9:10 and the scheduled cleaning end time is set to 9:30, and is registered in the cleaning schedule.

Next, the washer assignment unit 144 assigns an washer to the scope G-R-3 of the inspection E3. The washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the washing schedule held in the washing schedule holding unit 208 and specifies the earliest assignable washing machine 50 among the candidate washing machines (S160). Here, since the usage schedule of 9:10 to 9:30 is set for the first cleaning machine 50a and the second cleaning machine 50b, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the third cleaning machine 50c first. It is determined that it is possible (S160), and it is determined that the number of the identified washing machines 50 is one (N of S162). As a result, the washer allocation 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 is registered in the cleaning schedule.

Regarding the scope G-R-3, the setting value of the third cleaning machine 50c is 2, and the priority is lower than that of the first cleaning machine 50a and the second cleaning machine 50b. Therefore, the first washer 50a or the second washer 50b can be assigned to the scope GR-3 at the time when the first washer 50a or the second washer 50b can be used. However, in such a case, the cleaning of the scope G-R-3 is delayed, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of work efficiency. Therefore, the washer allocation unit 144 positively allocates even the washer 50 having a low priority, unless the allocation is prohibited.

Next, the cleaning machine allocation unit 144 allocates the cleaning machine to the scope C-R-1 of the inspection E4. The washing machine assigning unit 144 refers to the washing schedule held in the washing schedule holding unit 208 and specifies the earliest assignable washing machine 50 among the candidate washing machines (S160). Here, the first cleaning machine 50a, the second cleaning machine 50b, and the third cleaning machine 50c are set to be used from 9:10 to 9:30, and the cleaning machine allocating unit 144 uses the first cleaning machine 50a. , All of the second washing machine 50b and the third washing machine 50c can be assigned first (S160), and it is determined that there are a plurality of washing machines that can be assigned first (Y of S162). ..

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

FIG. 29 shows the 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, and specifically, the scope G-R-1 is cleaned by the first cleaning machine 50a during 9:10 to 9:30. That the second cleaning machine 50b cleans the scope GR-2, the third cleaning machine 50c cleans the scope GR-3, and the first between 9:30 and 9:50. It is registered that the scope C-R-1 is washed by the washing machine 50a. The cleaning schedule management unit 130 records the updated cleaning schedule in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208.

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 washing machine 50d, that is, the use of the chemical liquid C is prohibited for the scope C-R-1, so that the scope cannot be assigned to the fourth washing machine 50d. There is. In addition, in FIG. 26, the setting value of the fourth washing machine 50d is 2 for the scopes GT-1, GT-2, and CT-1, and therefore, the washing of these scopes is performed. At the time of scheduling, the fourth washer 50d may be assigned.

Although the case where the use of the fourth washing machine 50d having the set value of 0 is prohibited in the washing machine order holding unit 226 has been described above, the limitation may be relaxed and the washing schedule generation process may be operated. This is because in the above-described operation of prohibiting use, it is assumed that the fourth washer 50d is not normally used, the cleaning process of the scope 30 does not proceed efficiently, and the number of scopes 30 waiting for cleaning increases. Therefore, the washing machine 50 having the set value 0 may adopt a gradual restriction that avoids allocation to the scope 30 as much as possible, instead of the strict restriction that allocation to the scope 30 is prohibited. The hard limit and the soft limit may be determined by, for example, the scheduling mode, and when the efficiency of the cleaning process is promoted, the user selects the soft limit mode to set the set value 0. The washing machine 50 may be assignable to the scope 30.

In this case, it is preferable that the usage status storage unit 224 (or the history recording unit 232 described later) stores the number of times the cleaning is performed by the cleaning machine 50 having the set value 0 for each scope 30. The washer allocation unit 144 ensures that the number of times of washing with the washer 50 having the set value 0 does not significantly increase due to the scope 30, that is, the number of times of washing with the washer 50 having the set value 0 becomes equal. It is preferable to assign the washing machine 50 to the scope 30. It should be noted that an upper limit (for example, 20 times) may be set for the number of times washing is performed by the washing machine 50 having the set value 0, and the washing machine allocating unit 144 allocates the washing machine 50 having the setting value 0 beyond this upper limit. You may choose not to.

<Example 4>
In the fourth embodiment, when the scope 30 is scheduled, a certain scope 30 performs an allocation process that is used by a specific doctor as much as possible. By setting the scope 30 and the doctor who uses it as a set, it is possible to analyze that a frequently used doctor is operating well, for example, for the scope 30 that maintains a good condition for a long time. Then, it is possible to analyze that the scope 30, which is likely to be broken down, has some problem in the operation of a doctor who is frequently used.

Returning to FIG. 3, the assigned scope information holding unit 228 holds priority scope information regarding a scope that is preferentially assigned to a doctor.
FIG. 30 shows a priority scope table stored in the allocation scope information holding unit 228. The priority scope table records priority scope information that defines the priority of the scope 30 to be assigned to each doctor who is in charge of endoscopic examination, for each scope model. Here, the priority order is 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 that the scopes of the plurality of scopes 30 of the same model are assigned. , The scope to be preferentially assigned to the doctor is held as the priority scope information. In FIG. 30, “priority scope 1” is the scope with the first allocation priority, “priority scope 2” is the scope with the second allocation priority, and “priority scope 3” is the allocation priority. Is the third scope.

For example, with respect to the upper routine machine, the doctor A has the first priority assigned to the scope GR-2 and the second priority assigned to the scope GR-1. This priority scope information is information that specifies that the priority scope is preferentially assigned when the priority scope can be assigned to the doctor, and the priority scope does not necessarily have to be assigned to the doctor. For example, in the examination 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 examination start time, the scope assigning unit 126 determines that the other upper routine machines To ensure that inspections are not delayed.

In the fourth embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 performs endoscopy based on the priority scope information held in the assigning scope information holding unit 228 and the information regarding the doctor in charge of endoscopic examination managed by the examination schedule management unit 110. The scope 30 assigned to the mirror inspection is determined.

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

Hereinafter, an example will be described in which candidate scopes of the inspections E1, E2, E3, and E4 are specified by the scope search processing described in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the scope identifying unit 124 identifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 1 to 6 as the candidate scopes of the examinations E1, E2, and E3, and identifies the scopes of the endoscope numbers 15 to 17 as the candidate scope of the examination E4. Then, the scope allocation unit 126 is notified.

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

Referring 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 the priority scope 1 of the upper routine machine is GR-3, and the priority is 1 Recognize that scope 2 is GR-1 and priority scope 3 is GR-2. The doctor E is in charge of the examination E2, and the scope assigning unit 126 of the upper routine machine has a priority scope 1 of GR-R-1, a priority scope 2 of GR-5, and a priority scope 3 of GR-R-4. Recognize that. The doctor E is in charge of the examination E3, and the scope assigning unit 126 of the upper routine machine has a priority scope 1 of GR-5, a priority scope 2 of GR-6, and a priority scope 3 of GR-4. Recognize that. Further, in the examination E4, the doctor D is the doctor in charge, and the scope assigning unit 126 recognizes that the priority scope 1 of the lower routine machine is C-R-3.

Regarding the examination E1, the scope assigning 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), and thus the examination is performed. The scope GR-3 is assigned to E1 (S186). Thereby, the doctor B comes to use the scope GR-3 in the examination E1.

Next, regarding the examination E2, the scope assignment 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, and 4 to 6 (S182). Y), and therefore inspection E2, is assigned the scope GR-1 (S186). Thereby, the doctor C comes to use the scope G-R-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). ), therefore, the scope G-R-5 is assigned to the inspection E3 (S186). Thereby, the doctor E comes to use the scope G-R-5 in the examination E3.

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

In this way, when there are a plurality of priority scopes among the candidate scopes, the scope assigning unit 126 assigns a priority scope with a higher priority to the inspection. 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 is included (N in S182), the scope allocation unit 126 determines that the scope other than the priority scope. The candidate scope of is identified (S184) and assigned to the inspection (S186). In this way, if there is no assignable priority scope at the scheduled inspection start time, instead of waiting for that priority scope to become available, another scope is assigned and an efficient inspection schedule is created. Is preferred. When there is no candidate scope, it is preferable to notify the user of that fact.

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

In the fourth embodiment, the scope assigning unit 126 preferentially assigns the specific scope 30 to the examination performed by the specific doctor, so that the scope 30 is frequently used by the doctor.

The usage status monitoring unit 160 monitors the usage status of the scope 30 used in the actual endoscopic examination and records it in the history recording unit 232. Thereby, the history recording unit 232 records the usage history information of the scope 30 used in the actual endoscopic examination. The history recording unit 232 records the examination information used, the doctor used, and the date and time of use in association with the scope 30.

The history recording unit 232 also records a history regarding the failure of the scope 30. For example, the failure history may include the doctor who was operating when the failure occurred, examination type information, and 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 comparable format. At this time, the display content deriving unit 152 calculates the statistic amount based on the usage history information recorded in the history recording unit 232. Here, the statistic is the number of times of use, usage time, etc. calculated for each doctor regarding the scope 30, and the display content deriving unit 152 has a function of deriving a statistic according to the content to be displayed. The display processing unit 150 displays the statistic calculated by the display content deriving unit 152.

The period specifying unit 154 specifies the period of the usage history information. This period is specified by the user inputting in the input frame provided on the screen of the terminal device 12. When the period designating unit 154 designates a period, the display content deriving unit 152 extracts the usage history information of the period from the history recording unit 232, calculates the statistic amount to be displayed, and the display processing unit 150 designates. The usage history information for the different 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 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 designation unit 154 designates this period, and the display content deriving unit 152 displays the usage history information of 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-uses table, and the display processing unit 150 displays it on the display of the terminal device 12. The display content deriving unit 152 may create a list of failure histories during this period to calculate the number of failures, and the display processing unit 150 may also display the number of failures and the failure history.

The use frequency table allows the user to identify a doctor whose scope has few failures and whose scope is frequently used. On the contrary, the user can specify a doctor whose scope has many failures and whose scope is frequently used. In this way, the scope assigning unit 126 performs the scope assigning process so that the particular doctor preferentially uses the particular scope, so that the history information in which the scope 30 is actually used is used when performing a failure analysis or the like. It will be useful information. Further, the display processing unit 150 displays the usage history information of the plurality of scopes 30 in a comparable format, so that the user can recognize the difference in the usage state of the scopes 30 at a glance.

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

33 and 34, the display processing unit 150 displays the number of times of scope use for each doctor for each scope 30 as use history information. However, for example, the scope use time for each doctor is displayed as use history information. Good. Further, the display processing unit 150 may display the number of times of use 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 assigning a cleaning task to an inspection preparatory worker is performed so that a certain scope 30 is cleaned by a specific inspection preparatory worker as much as possible. By setting the scope 30 cleaning work and the inspection preparation person who cleans the scope 30 as a set, for example, for the scope 30 that is maintained in a good condition for a long time, a person with a high cleaning frequency is cleaning well. On the other hand, on the other hand, it is possible to analyze that the scope 30 or the like, which is likely to cause a failure, has some problem in the cleaning process.

Returning to FIG. 3, the assigning person information holding unit 230 holds, in the scope 30, the person in charge of prioritizing assigning the person who preferentially assigns the cleaning work.
FIG. 35 shows a priority staff member table stored in the allocation staff member information holding unit 230. The priority personnel table records, for each scope 30, priority personnel information that defines the priority order of the inspection preparation personnel (hereinafter, also referred to as “person in charge”) to whom the cleaning work is assigned. That is, the assigning person information holding unit 230 holds the priority of the person who assigns the cleaning work to one scope 30. In FIG. 35, “priority person in charge 1” is the person in charge with the first allocation priority, and “priority person in charge 2” is the person in charge with the second allocation priority.

For example, in the scope G-R-1, the allocation priority of the engineer A is set to 1, and the allocation priority of the engineer B is set to 2. This priority personnel information is information that specifies that the priority personnel should be assigned with priority when the priority personnel can be assigned to the cleaning work. It does not have to be assigned to the cleaning service. For example, if the inspection using the scope G-R-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 another Assign a technician (for example, technician C) to the cleaning work so that the cleaning work is not delayed.

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

It is registered that the washing machine 50d cleans the scope C-R-3.

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

The person-in-charge assigning unit 149 acquires priority person-in-charge information from the assigning person-in-charge 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 personnel table of FIG. 35, the priority personnel 1 of the scope GR-3 is the engineer B, the priority personnel 1 of the scope GR-1 is the engineer A, and the scope GR -5 is the technician C, and Scope C-R-3 priority technician 1 is the technician C.

Regarding the scope G-R-3, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 determines whether the engineer B who is the priority person 1 can handle the cleaning work of the scope G-R-3 (S202). In the fifth embodiment, a technician schedule is set for each technician, and the technician allocator 149 determines that the technician allocator 149 determines whether there is a vacancy at the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time in the schedule. It is determined whether B can handle the cleaning work of the scope GR-3. If there is no other work at the scheduled cleaning start time and the scheduled cleaning end time of the scope G-R-3, the person in charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope G-R-3 to the technician B. It is determined that it is possible (Y in S202), and the cleaning work of the scope is assigned to the technician B (S206). If there is another task in the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the person in charge schedule, the person in charge assigning unit 149 instructs the engineer B to perform the cleaning task of the scope G-R-3. It is determined that the allocation is impossible (N in S202). If the engineer C who is the priority person 2 cannot be assigned, the person allocating unit 149 identifies a person other than the priority person who has a vacancy at the time (S204). , Is assigned to the cleaning work (S206).

Next, regarding the scope G-R-1, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 determines whether the engineer A who is the priority person 1 can handle the cleaning work of the scope G-R-1 (S202). When the technician A can allocate the cleaning work of the scope G-R-1 to the technician A (Y of S202), the person in charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope G-R-1 to the technician B (S206). ). If there is another task in the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the person in charge schedule, the person in charge assigning unit 149 instructs the technician A to perform the cleaning task for the scope GR-1. It is determined that the allocation is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the technician B who is the priority person in charge 2 cannot be assigned, the person in charge assigning unit 149 identifies a person in charge who is not the priority person in charge and has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), and allocate to the cleaning work (S206).

Next, regarding the scope G-R-5, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 determines whether the engineer C who is the priority person 1 can handle the cleaning work of the scope G-R-5 (S202). When the technician C can allocate the cleaning work of the scope G-R-5 to the technician C (Y of S202), the person in charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope G-R-5 to the technician C (S206). ). If there is another task in the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the person in charge schedule, the person in charge assigning unit 149 instructs the engineer C to perform the cleaning task of the scope G-R-5. It is determined that the allocation is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the technician B who is the priority person in charge 2 cannot be assigned, the person in charge assigning unit 149 identifies a person in charge who is not the priority person in charge and has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), and allocate to the cleaning work (S206).

Next, regarding the scope C-R-3, the person-in-charge allocating unit 149 determines whether the engineer C who is the priority person 1 can take charge of the cleaning work of the scope C-R-3 (S202). When the technician C can allocate the cleaning work of the scope C-R-3 to the technician C (Y of S202), the person in charge allocating unit 149 allocates the cleaning work of the scope C-R-3 to the technician C (S206). ). If there is another task in the scheduled cleaning start time or the scheduled cleaning end time in the person-in-charge schedule, the person-in-charge assigning unit 149 instructs the engineer C to perform the cleaning task of the scope C-R-3. It is determined that the allocation is impossible (N in S202). At this time, if the technician B who is the priority person in charge 2 cannot be assigned, the person in charge assigning unit 149 identifies a person in charge who is not the priority person in charge and has a vacancy at the time (S204). ), and allocate to the cleaning work (S206).

When both the person in charge of priority 1 and the person in charge of priority 2 can be assigned to a certain cleaning job, the person in charge allocating unit 149 allocates a person having a high 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. The cleaning schedule management unit 130, when notified of the allocation result from the person-in-charge allocation unit 149, registers the allocated person in the corresponding cleaning process.

The configuration related to the scheduling process of the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment and Examples 1 to 5. The embodiments and Examples 1 to 5 relating to this scheduling process are examples, and various modifications can be made to the combinations of their respective constituent elements and processing processes, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. Will be understood by those skilled in the art. In particular, Examples 4 and 5 record the scope use history and the scope cleaning history, respectively, and it is very meaningful to combine both Examples.

<Example 6>
By the processing described in the embodiment and the examples 1 to 5, the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule are generated before the start of the endoscopic inspection work in one day. In the medical facility, the inspection work and the cleaning work proceed according to the generated inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule.

The person in charge of cleaning carries the scope that has been used in the inspection into the cleaning room, and puts the scope in the cleaning tank of the cleaning machine at the scheduled cleaning start time for machine cleaning. If you do not plan to use the scope for inspection on the same day, the person in charge of cleaning will perform a drying operation to wipe off moisture from the scope and store it with the air/water supply button, suction button, forceps plug, etc. removed. It is stored by hanging it on the hanger of the storage 14 arranged in the room. Since the scope is stored until it is used for the next day's inspection, bacteria may be generated if water remains in the scope. Therefore, the person in charge must carefully wipe off the residual water with a paper towel before storing the scope. This drying operation requires about 3 to 5 minutes.

On the other hand, if the scope is to be used for inspection after cleaning, the person in charge will store it in a temporary storage place without performing drying work so that it can be used for endoscopy immediately after cleaning. .. As a result, even if the scope is to be used for inspection immediately after cleaning, the person in charge of the inspection can immediately receive the scope at the temporary storage location and connect it to the endoscope observation device 22. become. Here, the temporary storage place is a place where the scope to be used is temporarily stored, and the person in charge searches the temporary storage place for the scope to be used before starting the inspection. The temporary storage place may be set appropriately by the medical facility, and is provided, for example, in the storage space provided in the washing room 40 or in the endoscopic examination room 20 where the scope is to be used later. The storage space provided. In any case, in the medical facility, in addition to the storage 14 that stores the scope 30 whose moisture has been wiped off by the drying work until the next day, the scope 30 that has not been dried is temporarily prepared for the next inspection. There will be a temporary storage area for storing. Hereinafter, the temporary storage location may be referred to as a “first storage location”, and the storage cabinet 14 that stores until the next day may be referred to as a “second storage location” to distinguish the two.

As described above, if the scope is to be used for the inspection after cleaning, the person in charge temporarily stores the cleaned scope in the first storage location, which is a temporary storage location, without performing the drying operation. When the display processing unit 150 (see FIG. 3) displays the inspection schedule table on the mobile terminal 60 of the person in charge of cleaning or the display provided in the cleaning room 40, the person in charge of cleaning looks at the schedule table, If it can be confirmed that the scope is to be used for inspection after cleaning, do not perform the drying work and store the scope in the temporary storage location which is the first storage location.

However, due to insufficient confirmation or misunderstanding, the person in charge of cleaning may carry out the work of drying the scope that is to be used for the inspection after the cleaning. Since this drying work results in loss of time for the person in charge, we will provide appropriate guidance to the person in charge to eliminate wasteful drying work and store the scope in an appropriate storage place. It is preferable.

At 9:30, which is the scheduled cleaning start time, the person in charge of cleaning causes the ID reading unit 51 to read the scope ID of the scope GR-5 and sets the scope GR-5 in the cleaning tank. The read scope ID is transmitted from the washing machine 50 to the information management device 10, and the acquisition unit 170 acquires the scope ID. The cleaning person closes the cover of the cleaning machine 50 and operates a cleaning start button (not shown) to start the cleaning process for a predetermined time.

The use determination unit 172 refers to the examination schedule information held in the examination schedule holding unit 206 regarding the scope GR-5 having the scope ID acquired by the acquisition unit 170, and after a certain time, specifically, After the time when the cleaning is finished, it is determined whether or not the cleaning is scheduled to be used. The time when the cleaning ends may be the scheduled cleaning end time stored in the cleaning schedule storage unit 208, but may also be the time when the cleaning is actually started and a predetermined time required for the cleaning is added. .. For example, if the time when cleaning actually starts is 9:29, the time when cleaning ends can be calculated as 9:49 by adding 20 minutes required for cleaning. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the time when the cleaning ends is assumed to be the scheduled cleaning end time in the cleaning schedule information. Note that the certain time may be the time at which the cleaning ends, but may be the time at which the cleaning starts, for example.

The usage determining unit 172 determines whether or not the scope GR-5 is scheduled to be used for inspection after 9:50, which is the cleaning end time. As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the scope GR-5 is scheduled to be used in the examination of the second examination room from 9:50 as the examination schedule after 9:50. Therefore, the use determination unit 172 determines that the scope G-R-5 is to be used for the subsequent inspection.

Notify the user of a message indicating that.

Therefore, when the usage determining unit 172 determines that the scope G-R-5 is to be used for the subsequent inspection, the notifying unit 174 determines that the storage location of the scope GR-5 after the cleaning is the first storage location. Notify the message indicating that it is (temporary storage location).

FIG. 45A shows a message displayed on the display 52 of the washing machine 50. When the person in charge of cleaning closes the lid of the cleaning machine 50 and presses the cleaning start button, the notification unit 174 causes the display 52 to display a message indicating that the storage location after the cleaning is a temporary storage location. This message may continue to be displayed on the display 52 until the wash is complete. This message allows the person in charge of cleaning to know that after cleaning, the scope G-R-5 should be transported to a temporary storage location.

FIG. 45B shows a message displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 60. This portable terminal 60 is held by the person in charge of cleaning, and the person in charge of cleaning can know to which storage location the scope G-R-5 should be transported after the completion of cleaning. When the scheduled cleaning start time arrives, the notification unit 174 transmits this message to the mobile terminal 60 and displays it. The notification unit 174 may notify the mobile terminal 60 of a message indicating the storage location of the scope GR-5 after the cleaning is completed, before the cleaning completion time. In this way, the notification unit 174 notifies the display 52 of the washing machine 50 and/or the mobile terminal 60 of the message, so that the person in charge of cleaning can save the scope storage location after the cleaning is completed.

Next, the cleaning scheduled for 12:10 to 12:30 will be described.
At 12:10, which is the scheduled start time of cleaning, the person in charge of cleaning causes the ID reading unit 51 to read the scope ID of the scope GR-5 and sets the scope GR-5 in the cleaning tank. The acquisition unit 170 acquires the scope ID of the scope G-R-5, and the use determination unit 172 refers to the inspection schedule information held in the inspection schedule holding unit 206 regarding the scope G-R-5 and finishes the cleaning. After 12:30, which is the time, it is determined whether or not it is scheduled to be used for the inspection.

As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the scope GR-5 is not scheduled to be used for inspection after 12:30. Therefore, the use determination unit 172 determines that the scope G-R-5 is not scheduled to be used for the subsequent examination.

In this way, when the use determining unit 172 determines that the scope G-R-5 is not to be used for the subsequent inspection, the notifying unit 174 causes the storage place of the scope G-R-5 after the cleaning to be the second storage. A message indicating that it is a place (storage 14) is notified. Note that when storing in the storage 14, it is necessary to perform a scope drying operation (moisture wiping operation), so the notification unit 174 preferably also notifies that effect.

FIG. 46A shows a message displayed on the display 52 of the washing machine 50. The notification unit 174 causes the display 52 to display a message indicating that the storage location after the cleaning is the storage cabinet 14 and notifying that the drying operation should be performed before the storage.

At the scheduled cleaning start time, the notification unit 174 sends a message to the mobile terminal 60 indicating that the storage location after the cleaning is the storage 14 and notifying that the drying operation should be performed before storage. Display it. The notification unit 174 may notify the mobile terminal 60 of this message before the cleaning end time.

As described above, according to the sixth embodiment, the use determining unit 172 refers to the inspection schedule information stored in the inspection schedule storing unit 206 to determine the use schedule of the scope. It is possible to appropriately notify the user of the storage location after the end. The usage determining unit 172 may determine the usage schedule of the scope by referring to the cleaning schedule information held in the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 instead of the inspection schedule information.

In this way, by notifying the person in charge of cleaning of the scope storage location after completion of cleaning, the cleaned scope is stored in an appropriate storage location. Therefore, the person in charge who prepares the scope to be used for the inspection in accordance with the inspection schedule information may take the scope to the place where the relevant scope is stored. The following describes a mechanism for notifying the person in charge of where the storage location is.

FIG. 47 shows a screen example of the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule displayed on the terminal device 12. Here, it is assumed that the terminal device 12 is arranged in each inspection room and the person in charge of the inspection assistance displays the inspection schedule and the cleaning schedule on the display of the terminal device 12. The schedule information shown in FIG. 47 is the same as the schedule information shown in FIG.

The display processing unit 150 reads out the inspection schedule information from the inspection schedule holding unit 206 and reads out the cleaning schedule information from the cleaning schedule holding unit 208 to generate a schedule table and display it on the terminal device 12. Note that the screen example shown in FIG. 47 also shows the cleaning schedule, but since this screen is viewed by the person in charge of assisting the inspection in the inspection room, only the inspection schedule may be shown. Need not be included in the screen.

The display processing unit 150 displays the examination schedule information of a plurality of endoscopic examinations on the display of the terminal device 12 as a daily schedule table in a state in which the user can select one endoscopic examination. In the schedule table, each examination is separated by a rectangular time frame, but the user can specify the examination included in the specified time frame by designating the time frame using a user interface such as a mouse. It has become. In this embodiment, when the user specifies the inspection by specifying the time frame, the storage location of the scope 30 immediately before the start of the inspection is notified. As a result, the person in charge can go straight to the storage location and immediately receive the scope 30 before starting the inspection.

FIG. 48 shows a state in which the person in charge has designated the time frame of the examination E25. Immediately before the scheduled start time of the examination E25, the person in charge specifies the time frame of the examination E25 to search for the storage location of the scope GR-5. The terminal device 12 transmits the designated time frame to the information management device 10. In the information management device 10, the acquisition unit 170 has a function of acquiring identification information (examination ID) that identifies one endoscopic examination selected by the user (person in charge) from the schedule table. Specifically, the acquisition unit 170 specifies the examination associated with the time frame from the examination schedule information held in the examination schedule holding unit 206 and obtains the examination ID. The examination ID may be transmitted from the terminal device 12 to the information management device 10.

The use determination unit 172 further has a function of determining whether or not the scope 30 used in the endoscopic examination specified by the examination ID is the first use in one day by referring to the examination schedule information. There is. When the time frame of the examination is selected in the schedule table and the acquisition unit 170 obtains the examination ID, the usage determination unit 172 refers to the examination schedule information held in the examination schedule holding unit 206 and is used in the examination. Determine if Scope G-R-5 is the first use in a day.

As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the scope G-R-5 has already been used in the inspection E6 and the inspection E15 before the inspection E25, and when used in the inspection E25, it is the first in a day. Is not the use of. Therefore, the use determining unit 172 determines that the scope GR-5 used in the examination E25 is not the first use in one day.

The notification unit 174 notifies a message indicating that the storage location is the second storage location (storage 14) when the scope 30 used is the first use in one day, while the first in one day. If it is not used, a message indicating that the storage location is the first storage location (temporary storage location) is notified. Therefore, in this case, since the scope GR-5 used in the inspection E25 is not the first use in one day, the notification unit 174 notifies the message indicating that the storage location is a temporary storage location.

FIG. 49 shows a notification message displayed on the display of the terminal device 12. When the person in charge selects the time frame of the examination E25 from the schedule table, the notification unit 174 causes the display of the terminal device 12 to display a message indicating that the storage location before the start of the examination E25 is a temporary storage location. .. This allows the person in charge to go to the temporary storage location to pick up the scope GR-5 and quickly connect to the endoscope observation device 22 without hesitating where the storage location is.

FIG. 50 shows another example of the notification message displayed on the display of the terminal device 12. When the person in charge selects the time frame of the examination E6 from the schedule table, the use determining unit 172 determines that the scope G-R-5 is the first use in one day. Accordingly, the notification unit 174 causes the display of the terminal device 12 to display a message indicating that the storage location before the start of the inspection E6 is the storage cabinet 14. Thereby, the person in charge can go to the storage cabinet 14 to pick up the scope GR-5 and connect to the endoscope observation device 22 promptly, without hesitating where the storage location is.

As described above, according to the sixth embodiment, the storage location of the scope 30 can be specified based on the schedule information. As a result, the person in charge of cleaning can confirm the scope storage location after the cleaning is completed, and the person in charge of inspection can easily confirm the scope storage location before the start of inspection. According to the sixth embodiment, since the storage location is specified based only on the schedule information instead of monitoring the usage status (status) of the scope 30, there is an advantage that the specifying process can be easily realized.

As a modified example, a case will be described in which an emergency inspection occurs and an emergency inspection is interrupted in the inspection schedule. In this case, the processing unit 100 will add the schedule information for the emergency inspection, and therefore will perform the rescheduling process.

In the case of an emergency inspection, the use determination unit 172 determines whether or not the use of the scope 30 is the first use in a day, and also determines whether or not the use is the last use. When the use of the scope 30 is the last use in one day, the use determining unit 172 can determine that the scope 30 is stored in the storage cabinet 14 before the emergency inspection. Therefore, the notification unit 174 notifies a message indicating that the storage location before the start of the emergency inspection is the storage cabinet 14.
