After that, the collected medical equipment is disassembled and then cleaned by a cleaning device (cleaning operation S3). Then, the washed medical equipment is assembled (assembly work S4). After that, the assembled medical device is sterilized (sterilization work S5). Then, the sterilized medical device is stored for surgery (storage operation S6). The stored medical equipment will be used again for surgery S1.
The system 1 is used in medical equipment handling work such as collection work S2, cleaning work S3, assembly work S4, sterilization work S5, and storage work S6.

Although the details will be described later, the work flow content is created by the user operating the terminals 3-1 to 3-3 of the system 1 or the server 2, and the created work flow content is recorded in the storage device of the server 2. Will be done. The work flow content recorded in the storage device of the server 2 is also synchronized (recorded) with the storage device of the terminals 3-1 to 3-3. After that, when the worker operates the terminal 3-1 when performing the medical equipment handling work, the flow and contents of the medical equipment handling work are presented to the terminal 3-1 so that the worker can perform the terminal 3-1. You can proceed with the medical equipment handling work while checking the work contents by looking at. Here, the medical device handling work is composed of one or more upper-level processes, each upper-level process is composed of one or more main processes, and each main process is composed of one or more subordinate processes. It consists of processes. That is, the main process refers to a detailed work process required to complete the work of the upper process having the main process as a component, and the detailed work of the main process is a finely divided work of the upper process. Further, the sub-process refers to a detailed work process required to complete the work of the main process having the sub-process as a component, and the detailed work of the sub-process is a finely divided work of the main process.

The contents displayed on the terminal 3-1 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 3 shows the transition of the screen displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1 according to the work flow content.

If the worker decides to execute a predetermined higher-level process during the medical equipment handling work, he / she can operate the terminal 3-1 while looking at the process selection screen (choice list screen) displayed on the terminal 3-1. A predetermined option (a predetermined option corresponds to a predetermined higher process) is selected from a plurality of options (the option and the upper process correspond one-to-one). Here, as the display mode of the options, for example, a widget (the image specified by the image designation data of the higher process data 45 described later is displayed in the widget), an icon (the image designation data of the higher process data 45 described later). Image thumbnails specified in), buttons, radio checks, etc.
After that, the operator operates the terminal 3-1 (for example, a flick operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, a multi-tap operation, a scroll operation, or a drag operation) as the work progresses during the predetermined higher-level process. The display contents of the display device of No. 1 transition in the order of screen A, screen B, screen C, and screen D. The screens A to D are screens related to each main process constituting a predetermined higher-level process during the medical equipment handling work, and more specifically, the work content in each main process and the state of the medical equipment due to the work. Is displayed. Further, on the screens A to D, information for identifying the higher-level process configured by the processes related to the screens A to D (for example, the work name of the higher-level process and the outline of the work content of the higher-level process) is displayed. The number of main processes constituting each higher-level process during the medical device handling work is not limited to 4, and the number of screens related to the main process is equal to the number of main processes.

Further, if the operator operates the terminal 3-1 while the screen B is displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1 the display contents of the display device of the terminal 3-1 transition from the screen B to the screen B1. Further, when the operator operates the terminal 3-1 the display content of the display device of the terminal 3-1 transitions from the screen B1 to the screen B2, from the screen B2 to the screen B1, or from the screen B1 to the screen B. To transition to. The screens B1 and B2 are screens related to each sub-process (detailed process) constituting the main process related to the screen B, and more specifically, the work contents in each sub-process and the state of the medical equipment due to the work. It is to be displayed.

Similarly, when the screen D is displayed on the display device of the terminal 3-1 there is a transition between the screen D to the screen D1 and the screens D1 to D2 due to the operation of the terminal 3-1 by the operator. The screens D1 and D2 are screens related to each sub-process constituting the main process related to the screen D, and more specifically, display the work content in each sub-process and the state of the medical device due to the work. The number of sub-processes constituting the main process related to the screens B and D is not limited to 2, and the number of screens related to the sub-process is equal to the number of sub-processes.

The main process is classified into a normal work process, a quality important work process, and a counting work process. The screens A to D can identify the classification of each main process. For example, the process classification display unit 16 is displayed in the peripheral portions of the screens A to D, and the color of the process classification display unit 16 represents the classification of the main process. For example, since the main process related to the screen A is a normal work process, the process classification display unit 16 of the screen A is drawn in blue, and the main process related to the screens B and D is a quality important work process. The process classification display unit 16 of the screen C is drawn in red, and since the main process related to the screen C is the counting work process, the process classification display unit 16 of the screen C is drawn in red. On the other hand, the type of the sub-process is only the normal work process, but the color of the process classification display unit 16 (for example, green) in the case of the sub-process and the color of the process classification display unit 16 in the case where the main process is the normal work process. The difference from (for example, blue) makes it possible to visually identify whether the displayed screen is related to the main process or the sub-process.

The equipment display unit 11 and the work content display unit 12 are displayed on any of the screens A to D, B1, B2, D1, and D2. The work content of the process is displayed in text on the work content display unit 12. The device display unit 11 displays an image of the state of the medical device due to the work in the process.

On the screens A to D, an order display unit 13 indicating a page number or a main process order is displayed. The page number represents the display order of each of the screens A to D in ascending order with respect to the screen A. The main process order represents the order of the main processes of each of the screens A to D in ascending order with the main process related to the screen A as a reference. The number of pages and the order of main processes may be represented by numbers (text), symbols, marks, patterns, indicators, or the like.

On the screen B, a sign display unit 14 representing a sign is displayed. The sign displayed on the sign display unit 14 (for example, the text "details" or "CHECK") indicates that the main process related to the screen B has a sub-process. Since the main process related to the screen C has a sub-process, the sign display unit 14 is also displayed on the screen D. Since the main process related to the screens A and C does not have a sub process, the sign display unit is not displayed on the screens A and C.

On the screens B1, B2, D1 and D2, an order display unit 15 indicating the sub-process order is displayed. The sub-process order represents the order of the sub-processes constituting the main process in ascending order. The order of sub-processes may be represented by numbers (text), symbols, marks, patterns, indicators, or the like.

When the screen A is displayed, the operator can confirm the work content of the process by visually recognizing the work content display unit 12 of the screen A. Further, by visually recognizing the equipment display unit 11 on the screen A, it is possible to compare the actual medical equipment being handled with the medical equipment image of the equipment display unit 11, whereby the work of the process progresses accurately. You can check if you did. That is, if the actual state of the medical equipment being handled is similar to the medical equipment image of the equipment display unit 11, it can be recognized that the work in the process is accurate, and the actual state of the medical equipment is displayed on the equipment. If it is different from the medical device image of the part 11, it can be recognized that the work of the process is inaccurate.

When the operator operates the terminal 3-1 as the medical equipment handling work progresses, the display contents of the display unit of the terminal 3-1 transition in the order of screen A, screen B, screen C, and screen D. Therefore, the worker can visually recognize the work content and the accuracy of the work in each process.

The main process related to the screens B and D is the quality important work process, but the operation for transitioning from the quality important work process screens B and D to the next screen is as follows from the normal work process and the counting work process screen. It is different from the operation for transitioning to the screen of. That is, the confirmation button 17 is displayed at the lower right of the screens B and D, and the operation for determining the selection of the confirmation button 17 (for example, single click, double click, tap, double tap, long press) is performed. Moves to the next screen. If the operation for determining the selection of the confirmation button 17 is not performed, the next screen is not displayed. Therefore, the quality of the quality important work is guaranteed by having the operator carefully perform the work and confirm. When the operation of determining the selection of the confirmation button 17 is performed after the display of the screen D, the screen of the terminal 3-1 returns to the above-mentioned process selection screen or shifts to the screen related to the next higher-level process. Operates the terminal 3-1 as the work progresses in the next higher-level process, so that the screen transition of the terminal 3-1 is executed in the same manner.

The main process related to screen C is the counting work process, but the operation for transitioning from the counting work process screen C to the next screen is the screen of the next main process from the screen of the normal work process or the quality important work process. It is different from the operation for transitioning to. Specifically, a plurality of widgets 11a are displayed on the equipment display unit 11 of the screen C, and images of components of medical equipment are displayed on these widgets 11a. Then, the worker operates the terminal 3-1 while comparing the components of the actual medical device with the widget 11a. Specifically, if the component displayed on the widget 11a is included in the actual medical device, the operator selects the widget 11a by operating the terminal 3-1. In this way, when all the widgets 11a are selected, the screen C transitions to the next screen. Therefore, when the screen C is displayed, the screen C does not transition to the next screen unless the confirmation work of the presence or absence of the components of the actual medical device and the counting work of those components are completed. The work can be forced to be performed by the worker.
When the worker executes another higher-level process during the medical equipment handling work, the screen transition of the terminal 3-1 is the same by operating the terminal 3-1 as the work progresses during the higher-level process. Is executed.
