Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application]
Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for investigating the number of prepared medical care bill statements, in which the number of prepared medical care bill detailed statements for each format is output.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, medical expense bill statements (generally referred to as medical fee bills) are in the form of medical expense bill statements (hereinafter referred to as billing statements) depending on the medical billing destination or the type of medical treatment such as hospitalization / outpatient treatment. Are different, generally 20-30
Different styles are used. In addition, bills billed at a rate of once per fixed period (usually once a month) amount to thousands of small clinics and tens of thousands of large clinics. Therefore, in either case, the billing statement is often prepared by computer processing.

In addition, depending on the format of the billing statement, there are a format in which the number of requests for one time is very small (for example, several cases) and a format in which the number of requests is very large (for example, 30 to 40% of the total number of cases). When creating the invoice, supply the invoice form
The paper before work was estimated based on past experience, but the paper stock could not be adjusted sufficiently because of a lot of hits.

Further, when the paper runs out during the work, the operator has to supply the paper, and when the paper is not available and the paper cannot be replenished, the billing for the medical care for the paper may be postponed until the next month.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The problem with the conventional method of investigating the number of bills for medical expenses described above is that the number of bills prepared for each form of the billing statement is prepared based on past experience, etc. In some cases, the operator must constantly monitor the computer to supply the paper, or when the paper to be used is insufficient and the operator manually bills for the cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for examining the number of bills for preparing medical care bills, which solves the above drawbacks.

[Means for solving problems]

The method for investigating the number of medical care billing statement preparations according to the present invention comprises a medical care information reading means for reading medical care information including at least the format of a medical care charge request form for a patient among the medical care information for one patient, and the medical care information reading means. Whether or not the medical fee is charged according to the read medical information, and when it is determined that the medical fee is not charged, the medical information reading means is executed again for the next patient; When it is determined by the means that there is a request for medical expenses, a paper designation means for determining the number of sheets for each format of the medical treatment bill statement according to the medical information read by the reading means, and the paper designation means Storage means for sequentially accumulating and storing the number of medical care bills for each format, and a display for displaying the quantity of each medical bill form for each format. And a step.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of hardware to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 3 is a diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. It is a flow chart which shows operation.

First, the outline of the present invention will be described.

When the medical expenses are billed and paid directly to the patient,
Medical insurance (commonly called health insurance)
There are cases where payment is received from a billing party such as a fund, but in general, the former bears part and the latter bears a large portion. Therefore, in the preparation of the bill, the insurance information content and the medical treatment content of the patient are stored in the memory such as the magnetic disk or the magnetic tape at the beginning of each medical examination.

Then, since a bill for medical treatment fee is created from these memories for each predetermined period, prior to this, each patient is inspected for the medical treatment fee during that period, and if there is a request, it is billed. Specify the type of paper and store the quantity in sequence. In this way, the quantity of billing sheets is displayed according to the type on the CRT display device of the terminal.

Necessary billing forms are prepared based on this data, and this data is used as data for inventory management of billing forms.

Next, the configuration of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, medical information reading means 1, billability determination means 2, paper designation means 3, and storage means 4 are shown.
And a display means 5. An example of hardware to which this is applied is shown in FIG.
Central processing unit 11 with 1A, terminal 12 and magnetic disk 1
3 and the printing device 14, which are connected by a data bus 100. Of these, the main memory 11A stores the program for driving the present invention in advance, temporarily stores the medical care data when the medical care data is read, and also serves as a storage location for the quantity of billing sheets by type.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG.

First, start the billing statement number survey program from the terminal 12, and the medical information stored in the magnetic disk 13 is
According to the medical care data reading means, the data is read into the main memory 11A connected to the central processing unit 11 in order of patient number or name for each patient (step).

Next, it is determined whether or not the medical information read in the main memory 11A can be charged for this term (or this month) based on the validity period of the patient's insurance. When there is no request for this term (or this month), this medical care information is deleted from the main memory 11 and the process returns to the step again. If there is a request for this term (or this month), move to the next step (step).

In the step, when there is a request for this term (or this month), the format of the billing statement in the medical information is designated to specify the designated format in the predesignated area in the main memory 11A. One item is added to the area indicating the quantity (step).

Next, whether or not the patient of the medical care information for which the processing of the step has been completed is the last patient to read the medical care information is judged from the data indicating the presence or absence of read-after data attached to the medical care information. As a result, when there is information on the subsequent patient that needs to be read, the process returns to the step. If there is no information on the subsequent patient, the step processing is performed. In any case, the medical information for which the processing of the step is completed is stored in the main memory 11A.
Deleted from (step).

Further, in the step, the number of sheets of each billing form stored in the main memory 11A is displayed on the display of the terminal 12 or is output to the printing device 14.

In the above description, the number of form-specific sheets of the billing statement is to be displayed on the terminal 12 after the investigation of the number of cases is completed. It is also possible to store the data in the memory and store it in the terminal 12 or the like and display it in sequence.

By the method as described above, the number of sheets for each format can be obtained prior to the preparation of the bill for the medical fee.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described in detail above, according to the method for investigating the number of medical bill bill preparations according to the present invention, 2
Since the quantity for each format ranging from 0 to 30 types is obtained in advance, it is possible to prepare the required number of bill statement sheets prior to the bill statement preparation, and to manage the paper sheets during the bill statement preparation. Therefore, there is no need to monitor the computer for this purpose, and it is possible to effectively manage the stock of the papers by style. Furthermore, there is an effect that the problem that the amount of paper to be used is insufficient, and the billing for the corresponding medical expenses cannot be made on time or on the deadline of the current period, is solved.
