DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the overall construction of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the electrical construction of a bar code reader, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical construction of a data processing section. 4 and 5 are configuration diagrams of an embodiment of the medical form.

In FIG. 1, C is a medical data processing apparatus, which mainly includes a bar code plate 1, a bar code reader 2, a communication circuit 3, a data processing section 4, a keyboard 5 and a CR.
It is composed of a T display 6 and a printer. Then, the barcode reader 2 and the data processing unit (data processing means) 4 are connected via a separate communication circuit 3, and the medical care data in the barcode reader 2 is taken into the data processing unit 4 to form a form. It is possible to display the form of a predetermined format on the CRT display 6 by executing the creation process and the calculation of the insurance points, or to print it by the printer 7.

The bar code reader 2 is a pencil type data input device, and mainly comprises a key switch 21, a bar code detector section (so-called pen section) 22, an input data and input command confirmation LED section 23, an input data and an input command. It has a confirmation LCD section 24 and an output terminal (connector) 25. The bar code reader 2 is used as a pair with the medical data bar code plate 1. The bar code reader 2 and the medical care data bar code plate 1 constitute the "portable data input means" of the present invention.

Nursing data / procedure data (vital signs (body temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, etc.), various symptoms, room movement, treatment, meals, medications, non-insurance self-payability, etc. are displayed on the medical care data bar code plate 1. ) Is a bar code 11 and the required number is displayed. After the nurse or the like diagnoses these items of the inpatient, the bar code reader 2 reads the corresponding measurement items and numerical values on the bar code plate 1 to store them as medical data in the bar code reader 2.
The patient identification is stored by reading the patient identification barcode attached to the bed, and the identification of the nurse in charge is stored by reading the nurse identification barcode displayed on the lab coat.

The bar code reader 2 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the operation of the key 21 causes the central control unit 26 to input power (wake up from the sleep state) via the key input unit 211. Then, the input data and input command confirmation LCD section 24 is displayed via the LCD display control section 241. In this state, the medical care data is supplied to the central control unit 26 via the bar code input unit 221 by the bar code detector unit (so-called pen unit) 22. At this time, LE
The input data and input command confirmation LED section 23 is displayed via the D display control section 231 and the input data and input command confirmation buzzer 27 is operated for a predetermined time via the buzzer control section 271.

The central control unit 26 is composed of a calculation unit, a temporary storage unit, a comparison / judgment unit, and a time management unit (year / month / day / hour / minute). After appropriately processing the supplied medical care data, it is stored in the data storage unit 28. Let The medical care data stored in the data storage unit 28 is transferred to the data processing unit 4 via the separate communication circuit 3 by the operation of the data output control unit 29.

Next, the data processing unit 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the patient data (name, date of birth, room number, etc.), staff, etc. (such as doctor in charge, nurse, helper, etc.) are stored in the central control unit 42 via the input unit 41 by operating the keyboard 5 or the like. Enter the (name) data. This data is stored in the data storage unit 45 described later.

On the other hand, the bar code reader 2 is electrically connected to the bar code reader connection section 43, and the medical care data is input to the central control section 42 via the input section 44.

The medical care data supplied to the central control unit 42 is
It is processed together with the stored form frame data and the already stored data, and the CRT is controlled via the CRT control unit 46.
A modem 481 is displayed on the display 6 or printed via the printer controller 47, or when the communication controller 48 operates.
Or to the host computer. In addition,
The medical care data appropriately processed by the central control unit 42 is newly stored and stored in the data storage unit 45. As a result, data (staff, doctor, nurse, helper) data, patient data, and accumulated medical record data (nursing records, treatment records) are recorded in the data storage unit 45.

The form frame data stored in the central control unit 42 includes a temperature plate display column, a nursing record display column, a meal list display column, a prescription list display column, a non-insurance self-payment list display column, and a temperature. Graphic display column on the board, character display column for symptoms of each crunch, display function display column (graphic display column on temperature plate, urine / stool / meal frequency display column, special item display column), treatment / medicine for each crunch Time series display column,
It is a time-series display column for in-insurance copayment of each crunke, a time-series display column for out-of-insurance copayment of each crunke, an insurance score file display column, and the like. An example thereof is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

Next, a method of using this device will be described.

First, the nurse or the like reads the patient identification barcode attached to the bed or the like of the patient in charge by the barcode reader 2 and also reads the nurse identification barcode displayed on his or her own robe. Data is stored in the barcode reader 2.

Next, the nurse or the like takes care of the inpatient at the bedside or the like of the inpatient, and then the bar code board 1
The bar code corresponding to the nursing / procedure data in 1 is read by the bar code reader 2 and stored in the bar code reader 2 as medical care data.

After that, the bar code reader 2 is connected to the data processing section 4 through a separate communication circuit 3, and its input section is connected.
The medical care data is supplied to the central control unit 42 of the data processing unit 4 via 44.

When an operator such as a nurse inputs a display command or a print command from the keyboard 5,
The central processing unit 42 processes the medical care data together with the stored form frame data and the already stored data, and CR
It is displayed on the CTR via the T control unit 46, is printed via the printer control unit 47, and is transmitted to the host computer via the modem 481 by the operation of the communication control unit 48. The data input to the host computer can be used for reasons in the medical department of the hospital.

[0024]

According to the medical data processing apparatus of the present invention,
The portable data input means and the data processing means are provided, the medical care data regarding the patient is input and held by the portable data input means, and the medical care data input and held by the portable data input means is taken into the data processing means. In the medical data processing device for processing in a predetermined format and outputting by appropriate means, the portable data input means comprises a medical care data bar code and a bar code reader, and the medical data bar code is read by this bar code reader. Since it is possible to input data by reading,

The portable data input means becomes extremely compact.

Therefore, if this medical data processing apparatus is used, it is easy for a nurse or the like to carry the portable data input means, so that the medical data processing work by the computer can be spread.
