The above problem is solved by providing the medical treatment reservation device with a control means for displaying the reservation status of the day on the display means.

(e) Effect In the present invention, when the date is instructed to move forward or backward, an appropriate reservation date is automatically determined according to the reservation cycle after or before the reservation date on which the reservation status is displayed. The reservation status of the reserved date is displayed on the display means.

(F) Embodiment FIG. 5 is a professional diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, where l is a letter key, input key 9, date advance key 1a,
A keyboard as an input means equipped with a date backward key ib, 2 a processing unit for performing various processes, 3 a display as a display means, 4 a screen memory for storing display contents,
Reference numeral 5 designates a display control unit that controls display, 6 a printer that performs printing, and 7 a print control unit that controls printing.

Further, 9 is a medical treatment schedule file that stores each doctor's medical treatment schedule, 10 is a ledger file that stores the reservation status of each doctor on the scheduled medical treatment date, 11 is a ledger index file for reading out the contents of the ledger file 10, and 12 is a medical treatment table file for storing the relationship between each doctor and the ledger index file 11, and these four files are all organized by month.

Furthermore, 13 is a doctor code file that stores the doctor code, doctor name, reservation cycle, medical department code, and name of the department for each doctor, and 14 is a doctor code file that stores each patient's patient code, name, gender, and date of birth. This is a patient header file.

Here, the reservation cycle is the period of patient reservations expressed in days, or in other words, the number of days between scheduled visits by the doctor to the patient.

Below are the methods for creating various files and their contents.
explain in detail.

First, the medical treatment schedule file 9 is created on the medical treatment schedule creation screen shown in FIG. That is, specify the application year and month of the processing target, doctor code, 9-hour consultation time slot, and number of people in the frame from keyboard 1, and then enter rlJ under the date on the calendar for the specified application year and month. By doing so, a table of scheduled medical treatment dates for the designated doctor is created. In this example, scheduled medical treatment dates are every week, Wednesday, and Friday.

These designated information and the scheduled medical treatment date table are stored in the medical treatment schedule file 9 in response to pressing the input key.

To create the doctor code file 13, enter the doctor code, doctor name, department code, and reservation cycle from the keyboard 1 on the doctor code creation screen shown in FIG. This is done by reading the family name from a family code file (not shown). Note that the patient header file 14 is created when the patient visits the hospital for the first time.

Once the medical treatment schedule file 9 described above is created, the ledger file 10. Ledger index file 11. The medical treatment table file 12 is created as follows.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, the ledger file 10 and the ledger index file 11 have storage areas 101, 102, , divided for each doctor.
and 111. 112. −−−−−−−−− is taken,
Each storage area of the ledger index file 11 is composed of areas corresponding in order to calendar dates for one month and an empty area at the beginning based on the scheduled medical treatment date table. On the other hand, each storage area of the ledger file IO is composed of an area for 6 minutes of the corresponding doctor's medical treatment schedule for one month based on the scheduled treatment date table. Pointers for the 10 corresponding records are written, and no pointers are written in areas that are not scheduled medical treatment dates.

Furthermore, in the one-day area of the ledger file 10, as shown in FIG. A plurality of storage areas are secured to store the . Example 1 in FIG. 7 is based on the input shown in FIG. 8, and is an example in which six storage areas are secured every 30 minutes for the medical treatment period from 9:00 to 12:00.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the medical treatment table file 12
The head pointer of the corresponding storage area in the ledger index file 11 is stored for each doctor code.

Next, the actual reservation process will be explained with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS. 1 to 4, display examples in FIGS. 10 to 12, and print examples in FIG. 13.

Here, today's date for accepting reservations is July 1990.
This date is the 18th day of the month, and this date has already been entered from the keyboard 1 when starting up the device, and each file 9 to 13 is created based on the input data shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. shall be.

First, in order to accept a reservation, when the reservation process is selected with the keyboard 1, the initial screen shown in FIG. 10A is displayed. Therefore, as shown in Figure 10A, enter the physician code of the attending physician from keyboard 1 and press the enter key.
As shown in the flowchart in the figure, the processing unit 2 reads the reservation cycle S from the doctor code file 13 and sets the reservation date RD to be determined to today's date d + reservation cycle S. Further, the head pointer N of the processing unit is read from the medical treatment table file 12, and the pointer PT of the ledger index file 11 is set to N+RD.

Then, it is determined whether RD exceeds the last day of the processing unit.

In this determination, if the last day is exceeded, (RD - last day of processing section) is reset to RD, and the processing blade is advanced to the next month. Thereafter, as described above, the head pointer N is read, the pointer PT is reset, and the above determination is repeated.

If the last day of the processing blade is not exceeded in the determination, it is determined whether the reservation date RD is the scheduled medical treatment date of the doctor in charge. This determination is based on the ledger index file 1 indicated by the pointer PT.
This is done by determining whether or not a pointer pointing to a record in the ledger file 10 is written in area 1, and if so, it is determined that it is the scheduled medical treatment date.

Here, d=18. S=7. Since N=A, RD=2
5. Since PT=A+25 and pointer C is written in the area indicated by PT, RD, that is, July 25th, is the scheduled medical treatment date of Dr. Yamada, the attending physician. Therefore,
The ledger record for this day is read from the ledger file 10 based on the pointer C, and the read reservation status is displayed on the display 3 as shown in FIG. Write and display this date. Incidentally, FIG. 7 shows the ledger record for July 25th.

Furthermore, the doctor name and the name of the medical department in charge corresponding to the input doctor code are read out from the doctor code file 13,
It will be displayed in the entry area at the bottom of the screen.

On the other hand, if the RD is not scheduled for medical treatment, the RD and PT
Increase both by +1 and repeat the same judgment. Therefore, for example, if the reservation cycle is 10 days, initially RD=
The date is set on the 28th, but since this day is not the scheduled medical treatment date of the doctor in charge, +1 processing is performed twice and RD=30 days.

In this way, if you press the enter key immediately after entering the doctor code, the reservation date will be automatically determined, but if you press the TAB key instead of the enter key, the reservation date will be determined automatically. The cursor will move to the input box, and you can also specify the reservation date from keyboard 1. in this case,
As shown in FIG. 2, the processing unit 2 may immediately determine whether the designated appointment date is the scheduled date of treatment by the doctor in charge.

As described above, after the reservation date is determined, the processing unit 2 determines whether or not the reservation time has been specified, as shown in FIG.
In the record of 0 for the day, an empty reservation slot is searched from the earliest reservation time. If there is a vacant reservation slot, as shown in Figure 11A, mark the vacant reservation slot in reverse display, and enter the reservation time and order within the reservation time in the bottom column of the screen. Write and display on Canilia. If there is no space, the screen will indicate that the frame is full. Furthermore, if a reservation time is specified, it is determined whether there is a vacant reservation slot within the specified time and a similar display is performed.

In FIG. 11, since there is an available reservation slot at the earliest time of 9:00, the reservation time is determined to be 9:00, and the earliest slot number 3 within that time is determined as the order within the time. .

In the state shown in FIG. 11A, if you input the patient code of the patient who wants to make a reservation and then press the enter key, the processing unit 2 will create a patient header file 1 as shown in FIG.
4, the patient's name, gender, and date of birth are read out, and the read information is displayed in the input field at the bottom of the screen. When the operator confirms this display and presses the input key again,
The patient code and name are registered in the corresponding position of the ledger file 10, and then the screen memory 4 that stores display data
The information in the input canister is read out, this information is sent to the print control unit 7, and the printer 6 prints a medical appointment form.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the medical appointment form is printed with initial data such as the patient's code and name, as well as the appointment date and appointment time order within one hour, and this form is handed to the patient.

By the way, the keyboard 1 of this embodiment is specially provided with a date forward key 1a and a date backward key 1b in order to move the reserved date forward or backward.

When the date advance key 1a is pressed, as shown in FIG.
The processing unit 2 sets the date obtained by adding the reservation cycle S to the currently displayed reservation date RD as a new RD, and enters C in the flowchart of FIG. Therefore, the first
As shown in Figure 2, the ledger record for the new reservation date, August 1st in this case, is read out from the ledger file 10 and displayed, and the new reservation date and reservation are displayed in the input field at the bottom of the screen. The same order will be displayed at time 9. Of course, in this case as well, the earliest order with the earliest reservation time is automatically selected as described above, and in this example, since the 9 o'clock time slot is full, the next 3rd place of 9=30 is selected.

When the date back key 1b is pressed, the date obtained by subtracting the reservation cycle S from the currently displayed reservation date RD is set as a new RD, and it is determined whether or not this RD is smaller than 1. If it is less than 1, the processing unit returns to the previous month, determines whether this month is before the previous month, that is, before June, and displays on the screen that there are no days available for reservation if it is before. If not before, RD is (last day of processing section + RD
), and furthermore, the start pointer N of the processing section is also newly read. And if RD is 1 or more,
The processing unit determines whether it is this month, that is, July, and if it is not this month or even if it is this month, but it is a day after today's date d, it moves on to determining whether or not RD is the scheduled medical treatment date. R.D.
If the date is before today's date of this month, the screen will display that there are no days available for reservation.

In determining the scheduled medical date, if RD is the scheduled medical date, the process moves to D in the flowchart in Figure 1, and the reservation status for that day is displayed on the screen, and if it is not the scheduled medical date, R
D and PT are processed once, and the determination after RD<1 is repeated.

Therefore, in the display state shown in FIG.
When b is pressed, the screen returns to the display state shown in FIG. 11a from seven days ago.

In this way, date forward key 1a or date backward key 1
After displaying the reservation status by pressing b, if the patient code is input, registration to the ledger file 10 and issue of a medical reservation slip can be performed in the same manner as described above.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, efficient and quick reservation reception processing becomes possible, and operations can be simplified to reduce the burden on the operator.
