Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hospital information system used in medical institutions such as hospitals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics, various data of each patient are processed and managed by a computer.

In such a hospital information system, the data input process for each patient in the order of reception is performed by a display screen in which the identification number of each patient is displayed in the order of reception for each patient reception information such as department, department, doctor, consultation time. The operator himself / herself designates a desired patient identification number from among these, referring to a form, a form, etc.

However, if the operator himself performs the operation for designating the patient identification number in this way, it causes an increase in the mistake of designation and the troublesomeness of the operation itself, which is one of the factors that lead to a decrease in processing efficiency. Become.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional hospital information system, the operator is required to specify the patient identification number even when data is input in the order in which the patients are received. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a hospital information system capable of efficiently inputting data on a patient without requiring the operator to specify a patient identification number. I am trying.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the hospital information system of the present invention has a storage means for storing a patient identification number and corresponding patient reception information, and a search condition for the storage means. Search condition setting means, a search means for searching the patient identification numbers corresponding to patient reception information satisfying the search condition set by the search condition setting means from the storage means in the order of reception, and the search means sequentially Data input means for inputting data on a patient corresponding to the retrieved patient identification number.

[0008]

In the hospital information system of the present invention, the search means searches the storage means for patient identification numbers corresponding to the patient reception information satisfying the search condition set by the search condition setting means from the storage means in the order of reception, and the operator Since the data can be input for the patient by regarding it as the patient identification number designated by the operator, the operator can directly perform the data input without directly designating the patient identification number.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a hospital information system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an information processing device such as a workstation equipped with a keyboard and a display device. The information processing device 1 reads a patient identification number recorded on an examination ticket of each patient. Etc. are connected. In this embodiment, a plurality of information processing devices 1 are distributed and arranged in the hospital. Further, 3 is a computer for controlling various processing operations in each information processing apparatus 1, and this computer 3 has at least a program 4 for reception processing for visiting patients and scheduled patients and a program 5 for data input processing for each patient. keeping. Further, reference numeral 6 is a first file for storing a patient identification number and patient reception information including a department name, a department name, a doctor name in charge, a consultation time and the like corresponding thereto. Reference numeral 7 is a second file that stores various data input for each patient after reception. It should be noted that each information processing apparatus 1 has a function of setting an arbitrary department name, medical department name, medical doctor name, consultation time, etc. as search conditions for the first file 6, and outputting this to the computer 3 when searching for a file. It has as a search condition setting means.

Next, the operation of this hospital information system will be described.

First, at the time of accepting a visiting patient or a reserved patient, the acceptance processing program 4 of the computer 3 is started.
Thereby, the operator inputs the patient identification number and the reception information on this patient on the information processing apparatus 1. The patient identification information and the patient reception information thus input are stored in the first file 6 as one record in the order of reception.

During data input processing for each patient, the data input processing program 5 of the computer 3 is started. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. However, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 1 has a department name, a department name, and a doctor name in charge as search conditions.

When the data input processing program 5 is activated, the search condition is passed from the information processing apparatus 1 to the computer 3. Then, the computer 3 searches the record group in the file which satisfies the search condition (the department name, the clinical department name, the doctor name in charge match) and has not been searched yet for the earliest order of reception. (Step 21) If there is a corresponding record (Step 22), the patient identification information of that record is regarded as the patient identification information designated by the operator, and the data input process for this patient is performed (Step 23). As a result, data is input from the information processing device 1, and the data is stored in the second file 7
Stored in.

When the data input process for one patient is completed, the computer 3 checks whether there is a request from the information processing apparatus 1 for the operator to specify the patient identification number (step 24). Move to file search for patient identification number.

When the operator requests the patient identification number to be specified, or when the corresponding record does not exist in step 22, the computer 3 displays the patient identification number on the display unit of the information processing apparatus 1. The patient selection screen for prompting the designation is displayed, and the designation of the patient identification number from the operator is accepted (step 25).

Thereafter, it is checked whether or not there is a request to specify a patient identification number by file search (step 26). If this request is not made, data input processing for the patient corresponding to the specified patient identification information is performed (step 23). ).

If there is a request, the process returns to the first step 21 to start the file search process for the next patient identification number.

Therefore, according to this hospital information system, even if the operator does not directly specify the patient identification number,
The target patient identification number can be automatically designated in the order of reception, and the data input processing for this patient can be performed. Therefore, there is no risk of making a mistake in specifying the patient identification number, and the efficiency of data input processing can be achieved.

In this embodiment, one hospital information system is introduced in the hospital. However, considering further efficiency, for example, a plurality of hospital information systems are introduced in each department or department of the hospital. It goes without saying that you may do so.

[0022]

As described above, according to the hospital information system of the present invention, data input regarding a patient can be efficiently and accurately performed without requiring the operator to specify the patient identification number.
