FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a valuables storage management system according to the present invention. The valuables storage management system 100 is arranged in a hospital room, a server 10 installed in a hospital management room, a plurality of computers (terminals, thin client PCs) 20 installed in a nurse station, a floor head stand, or the like. A plurality of floor head stands 40 and a plurality of wristbands (wearing tools) 30 worn on the patient's arm are provided.

The hospital has a plurality of hospital rooms in which patients are hospitalized and a management room in which a server 10 is installed. Each hospital room is assigned a room number, for example, "Room 101", "Room 102", and so on. As a result, each hospital room can be identified.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a wristband. The wristband 30 has a band portion 31 formed of a flexible thin synthetic resin and a barcode 32 attached to the surface of the band portion 31. The barcode 32 is a multi-digit code consisting of letters and numbers including a patient management code (patient ID) used when managing a patient, and each wristband 30 has a different patient management code. Has been done.

Such a wristband 30 is handed to the patient by a nurse or the like at the beginning of hospitalization, and is always fitted on the patient's arm while the patient is hospitalized. For example, when a hospital room (room number) to be hospitalized for a patient is determined, a patient management code is assigned to the patient, and a bar code 32 including the patient management code is printed on the surface of the wristband 30 by a nurse station or the like. To. Then, the wristband 30 is fitted on the patient's arm. As a result, each patient is identified by the patient management code, and the electronic medical record and the like of each patient are managed.
On the other hand, in the present invention, when the wristband 30 is fitted to the patient's arm, the patient management code and the room number in which the patient is hospitalized are associated (linked) and stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10. .. For example, the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 101" are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10.

Further, after the wristband 30 is fitted on the patient's arm, the patient may change the hospital room. In this case, the patient management code and the changed room number are associated with each other and stored in the server 10. It is stored again in the part 11. For example, when a patient with "patient management code A" changes the hospital room from "room 101" to "room 102", the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 102" are associated with each other. It is stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10. At this time, in the server 10, the information associated with the patient management code and the room number before the change is deleted from the storage unit 11 of the server 10. For example, the information associated with the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 101" is deleted from the storage unit 11 of the server 10.

Further, the patient may be discharged from the hospital. In this case, the patient management code and the discharge information are associated with each other, and the server 10 deletes the information associated with the patient management code and the room number. It has become like. For example, when a patient with the "patient management code A" is discharged from the hospital, the information associated with the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 101" is deleted from the storage unit 11 of the server 10. Will be done.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a floor head stand. The floor head stand 40 is, for example, storage furniture having a width of 400 mm to 500 mm, a depth of 500 mm to 600 mm, and a height of about 1200 mm to 1500 mm. It should be noted that these dimensions are examples, and if there is no problem in use, there is no problem even if the size is larger (height 1800 mm or more, width 600 mm or more, etc.), and conversely, the installation location of the floor head stand is narrow. In that case, a small size (height 1200 mm or less or width 400 mm or less) may be used.

The floor head pedestal 40 is arranged near the bed in the hospital room, for example, and one floor head pedestal 40 is used for one patient, and is arranged in a predetermined hospital room at the time of delivery. .. For example, when a hospital room (room number) to be arranged with respect to the delivered floor head pedestal 40 is determined, the floor head pedestal 40 and the room number are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 11.

In addition, the patient may change the hospital room. In this case, the bed head stand 40 is also moved to the changed hospital room together with the patient, and the floor head stand 40 is associated with the changed room number. It is stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10. At this time, the server 10 deletes the information associated with the floor head 40 and the room number before the change.

Further, the patient may be discharged from the hospital. In this case, the floor head pedestal 40 and the discharge information are associated with each other, and on the server 10, the floor head pedestal 40 and the room number are associated with each other. Is to be deleted.

The floor head stand 40 has three drawers 41 that can be slidably moved, a slide table 42 that can be taken in and out, a fixed table 43, and a ceiling plate 44. A refrigerator is stored in the drawer 41 in the lower row. The drawer 41 in the middle stage can be opened and closed freely, and any object of the patient can be stored in it. In the drawer 41 in the upper row, a safety box (storage unit) 50 for storing valuables of the patient is stored. The floor head pedestal having these configurations is an example, and various specifications of the floor head pedestal can be used depending on the user (patient), the usage environment, and the like.

The safety box 50 is designed to store valuables of the patient inside, and is equipped with an electric lock 51 for locking (closed) the drawer so that it cannot be moved. A barcode reader (reader) 52 for reading the barcode 32 attached to the wristband 30 is attached to the outside of the safety box 50.
The safety box 50 includes a server 10, an electric lock 51, and a reader 52, and based on the information read by the reader 52, the room number in which the reader 52 is located and the patient management code are assigned to the server 10. It may be configured so that the unlocking key of the electric lock 51 can be obtained when the information is collated with the information stored in the server and it is determined that the information is the same.

When the electric lock 51 is in the locked state (closed state), the drawer cannot be moved, while when the electric lock 51 is in the unlocked state (open state), the drawer can be moved, that is, a state in which valuables can be taken in and out. Such switching from the locked state (closed state) to the unlocked state (open state) in the electric lock 51 is executed when the electric lock 51 receives a signal (unlocking code) from the server 10. Become.
The electric lock 51 is an automatic locking device, and when the drawer 41 in the upper drawer is closed, the electric lock 51 is automatically locked (closed) (automatic locking function). Further, it may have a buzzer function for preventing forgetting to close, which sounds a buzzer when the unlocked state (open state) continues for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) or more.

The bar code reader (reader) 52 has a read button 52a, and when the read button 52a is pressed, the bar code reader (reader) 52 reads the bar code 32 attached to the wristband 30. Such a barcode reader (reader) 52 is configured by a well-known barcode reader, for example, an optical barcode reader.
Then, the barcode reader (reader) 52 outputs the read information (patient management code) of the barcode 32 to the computer 20.

The server 10 includes a storage unit 11 that stores information and the like input from the computer 20 and a control unit 12 that reads out and executes the program at a predetermined timing, and the computer 20 reads out and executes the program at a predetermined timing. The control unit 21 is provided.

The control unit 21 has a barcode reader control unit 21a that receives information from the barcode reader (reader) 52.

The barcode reader control unit 21a controls to receive information from the barcode reader (reader) 52. For example, when a patient having the patient management code A has the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the floor head stand 40 placed in the room 101 read the bar code 32 of the wristband 30, the patient is placed in the "room 101". Information (“patient management code A”) is output from the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the floor head stand 40 to the bar code reader control unit 21a, and the bar code reader control unit 21a is arranged in “Room 101”. A barcode reader ("patient management code A") that receives information ("patient management code A") from the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the floor head stand 40 and outputs "patient management code A" and "patient management code A". The information of the room number "Room 101" of the reader) 52 is transmitted to the computer 20.

The control unit 12 outputs a signal (unlocking code) to the processing unit 12b that processes based on the information received from the barcode reader (reader) 52 and the information stored in the storage unit 11 and the electric lock 51. It has an electric lock control unit 12c.
The processing unit 12b controls processing based on the information received from the barcode reader (reader) 52 and the information stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10. For example, when the bar code reader control unit 21a receives the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 101", it outputs the data to the processing unit 12b of the server 10. When the information stored in the storage unit 11 is the information corresponding to the "patient management code A" and the room number "room 101", the processing unit 12b of the server 10 determines that they match. .. On the other hand, when the information stored in the storage unit 11 is the information corresponding to the "patient management code B" and the room number "room 101", it is determined that they do not match.

The electric lock control unit 12c controls to output a signal to the electric lock 51. For example, when the processing unit 12b determines that they match, a signal (unlocking code) indicating that the electric lock 51 is switched from the locked state (closed state) to the unlocked state (open state) is output. On the other hand, when it is determined by the processing unit 12b that they do not match, no signal is output to the electric lock 51.
Here, the computer 20 and the server 10 that manage the safety boxes 50 of the plurality of floor heads 40 will be described. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the valuables storage management system. However, the operation described here is only an example, and it goes without saying that other methods can be used.
First, the barcode reader (reader) 52 determines whether or not the reading button 52a is pressed (step S101). When it is determined that the read button 52a is not pressed, the process of step S101 is repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the reading button 52a is pressed, the barcode reader (reader) 52 determines whether or not the barcode 32 attached to the wristband 30 has been read within 20 seconds (step S102). When it is determined that the barcode 32 has not been read within 20 seconds, the process returns to the process of step S101. It should be noted that the time for determining whether or not to read does not have to be 20 seconds, and when the reading button 52a is pressed while in contact with the reader, it can be performed within 1 second, and various processes and operations are performed. Therefore, it may be set to about 5 seconds.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the barcode 32 has been read within 20 seconds, the barcode reader (reader) 52 outputs the information (patient management code) of the read barcode 32 to the barcode reader control unit 21a ( Step S103). For example, when a patient having the patient management code A has the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the floor head stand 40 arranged in the room 101 read the bar code 32 of the wristband 30, the bar code 32 of the wristband 30 is read into the “room 101”. Information (“patient management code A”) is output from the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the arranged floor head stand 40 to the bar code reader control unit 21a.
Next, the barcode reader control unit 21a receives information from the barcode reader (reader) 52 (step S104). For example, the bar code reader control unit 21a receives information (“patient management code A”) from the bar code reader (reader) 52 of the floor head stand 40 arranged in “room 101”, that is, “patient management code A”. And the room number "Room 101" of the bar code reader (reader) 52 that outputs the "patient management code A" are received in association with each other.
Next, the server 10 receives information from the barcode reader control unit 21a (step S105).
Next, the processing unit 12b determines whether or not the information received from the barcode reader (reader) 52 and the information stored in the storage unit 11 of the server 10 match (step S106). When it is determined that there is a mismatch, an error signal is output to the barcode reader (reader) 52 (step S107).
On the other hand, when it is determined that they match, a signal (unlocking code) is output to the electric lock 51 (step S108).
Next, the electric lock 51 is switched from the locked state (closed state) to the unlocked state (open state) (step S109).
Next, the safety box 50 determines whether or not it has been opened within 20 seconds (step S110). When it is opened within 20 seconds, it is then determined whether or not it is closed within 1 minute (step S111).
If it is not closed within 1 minute, the electric lock 51 sounds a warning sound (step S112).
On the other hand, when the electric lock 51 cannot be opened within 20 seconds in the process of step S110 or closed within 1 minute in the process of step S111, the electric lock 51 is put into a locked state (closed state) (step). S113), the process returns to the process of step S101.

According to the valuables storage management system 100 as described above, since the patient management code attached to the wristband 30 is used as a key, there is no need for a cylinder lock, a plastic card lock, or a personal identification number to be managed, which is a burden on the patient. Can be lightened.
