Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a medical office computer, and more particularly to a method for processing patient head card data.

(b) Prior art In general, medical office computers are
VOL. 11 No. 1 (1979 edition)", full name. date of birth. address. Insurer number. It is equipped with a patient record file that stores patient-specific patient record data such as the date of visit, and a medical practice file that is created corresponding to this patient record file and stores medical practice data for each patient. Files are searched using the patient code assigned to the patient.

In addition, medical fee statements must be submitted for each medical department or insurance department, so even if the patient is the same, a different patient code will be assigned to each department or insurance department, and the patient head office file and medical practice file will be different. They are also established separately for each medical department or insurance department.

Conventionally, patient data was entered into the patient data file using the keyboard each time a new registration was made, so if a patient was already registered in the patient data file for a certain clinical department or insurance department, If the patient received medical treatment at a different department or insurance provider, he or she had to re-register even items that remain unchanged for the individual, such as name, date of birth, and address.

(C) Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides for a patient who has already been registered in the patient header file of one of multiple medical departments or insurance administrators to register the name and year of birth in a new medical department or insurance administrator. The purpose of this is to make it possible to omit key-in for unchangeable items such as date, address, etc.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides different patient header files for each medical department or insurance department for the same patient, and uses a patient code that includes identification data for identifying the medical department or insurance department and a patient number. In a medical office computer that searches for a patient head office file, the patient number included in the patient code is set to the same number for the same patient, and the patient number in all medical departments or insurance departments is set based on the patient number. A search means is provided to search from the patient head file for a patient head file having the same patient number as the patient number of the input patient code. When the insurance administrator performs registration, the search means searches the registered patient's initial file, retrieves predetermined data such as name, date of birth, address, etc. from the patient's initial data in the file, and retrieves the data. It is configured so that it is copied to the patient's head office file of another medical department or insurance administrator for which new registration is to be made.

(E) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the head data processing method of the medical office calculator according to the present invention, where 1 is a keyboard for inputting various data, and 2 is a keyboard for displaying various data. CRT display device, 3 is a printer for printing medical fee details and tally results, 4 is a patient record file 5
and a file device such as a magnetic disk having a medical practice file 6; 7 is a processing section;

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the patient code employed in the processing method of the present invention, and is composed of identification data α indicating the medical department, identification data β indicating the insurance manager, and patient number γ. And, in the present invention,
For the same patient, the same patient number γ is set regardless of whether the department or insurance manager is different. This could be done, for example, by handing out an ID card to each patient at the hospital, or by handing out an ID card to all clinical departments or the insurance department.
The number attached to the ID card can be used as the patient number, or when the patient visits the hospital, the patient can be checked by name, etc. to find out whether the patient is already registered with another medical department or insurance administrator. If the patient number is registered, this can be achieved by using the patient number in other medical departments or insurance departments.

Next, the processing method of the present invention will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, since a new patient came to the hospital, the patient code AA00001 was assigned according to the department and insurance administrator where the patient was treated.
Assume that this patient code is entered from the keyboard 1. Then, only the patient code is displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 2 shown in FIG. Patient head record data consisting of item data Ha2,
If you enter it from the keyboard 1, the patient code AA00001 will be entered in the patient header file 5, as shown in Figure 4.
The patient's initial data Ha1 and Ha2 are stored in the area 5b. Similarly, after a new patient comes to the hospital and is given the patient code AA00002, and this patient code and its header data Hb1 and Hb2 are stored in the patient header file 5, the patient with the already registered patient number 00001 comes to the hospital again. However, it is assumed that because the patient received treatment at a new medical department B and insurance department B, a new registration in the patient head file 5 occurs in that department and insurance department.

In this case, conventionally, it was necessary to key in all the patient's initial data Ha1 and Hc2 from the keyboard 1, but in the present invention, keying in the unchanged item Ha1 is not necessary. That is, when a patient code is input from the keyboard 1, the processing section 7 first searches whether the input patient code BB00001 exists in the patient head record file 5. In this case, since this patient code does not exist, it is determined that new registration is necessary, and the patient head record file 5 is searched using only patient number 00001. As a result of the search, if there is no patient code with patient number 00001, you will have to key in all patient header data, but in this case, patient code AA00001 will be searched, so among the corresponding patient header data Ha1 and Ha2. , name, date of birth, address, etc., are read onto the RAM 7a of the processing section 7 and displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 2. The operator is
Check the displayed content to see if there are any items to be corrected, and if there are none, then enter the rest of the patient's initial data Hc2, such as the insurance number and date of visit, from the keyboard 1. If you wish to make a correction, use the keyboard 1 to make the correction. Then, when input key 1a is pressed, the patient code BB00001 and the patient's initial data Ha1 and Hc are displayed.
2, as shown in FIG.
are stored in areas 5c and 5d, respectively. In other words, for unchanging items such as name, date of birth, and address,
The data is copied from the already registered patient's initial file 5b to the patient's initial file 5d to be newly registered, and key-in for these items becomes unnecessary.

(F) Effect The patient head card data processing method of the medical office calculator according to the present invention is such that when a registered patient newly registers patient head card data at another medical department or insurance administrator, the name, name, Items such as date of birth and address are copied from the already registered file, which not only saves the effort of key-in, but also prevents incorrect data from being written due to key-in errors.
