Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce each working value of an operator by storing the result of a transfer process carried out through a prescribed account of the banking organ of each patient into an external memory and producing the uncollected amount data to update the monthly files. CONSTITUTION:The proper data on patients are inputted through a keyboard 1 and a file of each patient is produced at a patient data processing part 3. Then the charged amount of each patient is calculated at a patient charged amount calculation part 4 and stored in a magnetic disk 6. The monthly data on each patient charged amount is read out of the disk 6 at the end of each month and recorded on a floppy disk 7. The disk 7 reproduces the data and produces the uncollected amount data after the transfer process carried out through the account of the bank of each patient. Then the monthly files are updated. In such a way, the due jobs can be carried out en block when the month changes. Then each working value of an operator is reduced.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a medical computer, and in particular, it records medical practice data for each patient's date of treatment, such as patient location data, i.e., name, date of birth, and insurance card number. This method relates to a blade replacement processing method in which the medical treatment amount is calculated from each data of the beginning and previous month of each month using the same calculator stored in the storage means, and the financial institution performs the processing of the monthly number at the same time as the transfer processing is completed. .

(B) Conventional technology In general, a specific patient who comes to a designated hospital for treatment, in addition to specific data such as name, date of birth, insurance card number, etc., at the counter of the hospital, for example, As shown in the figure, a hospital-specific medical record number is assigned to each file, which is a convenient method for organizing files.

However, regarding monthly file storage, due to the current medical point system, at least the data of the previous month must be retained, and currently medical medical calculators called receipt computers are used to store files within hospitals as shown in Figure 6. The blade replacement process requires data reproduction (reading data from a storage medium such as a floppy disk or magnetic disk), updating (including changes) of management settings, updating (including changes) of data files, and aggregation of accounts receivable. Running accordingly.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In the conventional system, each task exists as a separate task, and the operator executes the individual tasks in order as necessary at the turn of the month or at the time of various changes. This required a large amount of work for the operator each time, and furthermore, it was impossible to completely prevent operator errors from occurring.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a new blade changing processing method for medical computers that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

(2) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention stores patient-specific data and medical treatment data in a storage means on a daily or weekly basis in a medical computer, and then stores unaccounted medical fee data on a monthly basis. The configuration is designed to update management settings and data files in accordance with the operator's operating style for monthly counting processing for aggregation.

(E) Function The blade change processing method in the medical computer of the present invention has the advantage of reducing the workload of the operator in totaling the unpaid bills from patients at the beginning of each month and preventing operational errors.

(f) Example To explain the blade changing processing method in a medical computer of the present invention according to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a flowchart of the main part of the method of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows the overall flow for explaining the method. FIG. 3 is a file structure diagram of the same method, FIG. 4 is a block diagram for explaining the same method, and FIG. 5 is a file structure diagram of each month used in the same method.

In Figure 4, (1) is a keyboard as an input means, (2) is an input data processing section, (3) is a patient data processing section, (4) is a patient copayment calculation section, and (5) is The internal memory operates as a buffer memory, (6) and (7) are respectively a magnetic disk and a floppy disk as external storage media, (8) is an output data processing unit, (9) is a CRT display, and (1o) is a printing paper. A printer using (11) is shown.

Next, to explain the operation of the method of the present invention, after a medical computer is introduced into a hospital, daily medical treatment data of patients who come to the hospital, such as daily processing or weekly, are recorded on a keyboard (1) along with unique data for each patient. ) to key in.

As a result, the patient data processing unit (3) creates a file for each individual patient via the input data processing unit (2), and the patient copayment calculation unit (4) calculates the patient copayment for each treatment item. calculate. The results are stored in an internal memory (5), a magnetic disk (6) connected to the computer main body, and a floppy disk (7) as external memory.

At this time, once the medical computer has been installed in the hospital, various management settings for operation are performed as shown in FIG. 2, and daily operations are performed as described above. Data is collected on a daily basis, and at the time of monthly closing processing, a predetermined month's worth of data is recorded on a floppy disk (7).

In addition, for the daily operations mentioned above, the patient data processing unit (3
) outputs predetermined data via the output data processing section (8), displays it on the screen display section, that is, the CRT display (9), and outputs and prints it on printing paper (11) by the printer (1o) as necessary. .

Data for a predetermined one month after the aforementioned monthly closing is read from a magnetic disk (6) serving as an internal memory, and the data for the one month is recorded on a floppy disk (7) serving as an external memory. The floppy disk (7) reproduces data from the floppy disk (7) after a transfer process is made from the account at each bank of the patient of the hospital to create receivables data.

"Data playback" in FIG. 2 is as shown in FIG. 5 (
(b) shows an example of performing the work shown in (b) and retaining two months as a data file.

The data structure is as shown in FIG. 3, and the contents of the management file are set as follows.

A: Number of months of data retention (2 months in the example in Figure 5) B: Size of data C: Necessity of creating account receivable data when reproducing data D = Collection method (e-conversion or addition) E: Current month transfer date F: Aggregation period for the current month To explain the flow in Figure 1, for example, if the number of months of data retention is 2 months (A = 2) and the size of the data file is 10° 0 items (B-100), the 5th Files (1) and (2) in the figure can each store up to 100 items, and in the above example, if the current month is March, the 4th file in the next column of the previous month
The month is (2) and the current month is (1), and in the next month's processing, April is changed to file (1) and May is changed to (2).

To process the month number, first check whether there is any unpaid amount based on the patient-specific data that each patient has. C = "YES"
? ), then select whether the aggregation method is cash or automatic transfer in a bank account, extract only the automatic transfer patients, record it on a floppy disk (7), and then bring it to the designated financial institution or send it by mail to the hospital's contract. Transfer processing is performed from the patient's account to a predetermined account at a financial institution. As a result, data on unaccounted for items that could not be transferred from the patient's account, such as insufficient funds in the account or account cancellation, is created and added to the data up to the previous month. At this time, D in the file contains the contents. This will either be replaced with new content or the previous month's content will be added.

Next, after the processing is completed, the transfer date of file E and the current month's aggregation period of file F are corrected.

As described above, each content in the file is formed so that it can be applied to processing for a predetermined month, and therefore, monthly processing can be performed at once after each monthly salary.

(g) Effects of the invention According to the month number processing method in the medical computer of the present invention,
In contrast to the conventional month number processing where each process was done one by one, it is now possible to do the work all at once when the month changes.
It is possible to reduce the workload of the operator each time, and also to prevent operational errors.If the present invention is applied to a medical computer, the effect will be extremely large.
