[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a re-accepting machine with a bar code reader for automatically receiving re-examination patients by reading a bar code on a medical examination ticket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at a reception desk at a hospital, a medical examination ticket (card) is issued at the time of the first medical examination, and this medical examination card is submitted at the subsequent medical examination, and related work is performed based on the contents stored in the card. Are going. Reception work for re-examination patients includes notification of the order of reception corresponding to the contents of the reexamination request department, drug administration, examination or medical examination, etc. notified by verbal or application form, and recording and recording. For example, there is a medical record issuing process for storage.

In recent years, as the number of patients has increased, the time and labor required for reception work have significantly increased, and efficient medical examination processing has become impossible. This tendency is remarkable especially in hospitals with many reception departments such as general hospitals. Therefore, a device for automating the re-examination reception has been proposed and put into practical use. For example,
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-116070 discloses a technique of issuing a medical examination acceptance number by assigning an acceptance number for each medical examination department unit by referring to the medical examination history already stored by inputting a medical examination card. In addition, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-219064,
In addition to the above technique, a technique of displaying a reception number of a patient who calls into a medical office and notifying a waiting patient is disclosed. or,
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-257342 discloses an automatic return reception system that reads patient information from a magnetic stripe on a medical examination ticket and receives a return visit.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, in JP-A-63-219064, it is necessary for the patient to repeat the receiving operation by the number of departments to be examined, and in JP-A-60-116070, a plurality of operations are required. It is possible to select the department to be visited, but there is the inconvenience that you have to enter the department you want to receive. Furthermore, JP-A-2
-257342 is configured to read the patient information from the magnetic stripe, so the work becomes complicated due to the combination with the bar code that has been conventionally used for hospital work, or a medical examination ticket is required for system delivery. It becomes necessary to replace the manufacturing equipment, etc., and extra cost is spent. In addition, unlike a cash card or a credit card, a medical examination ticket is handled in a rough manner, and since hospitals also have devices that generate a strong magnetic field, there is a high possibility that patient information cannot be read.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, reads patient information from a bar code on a medical examination ticket while continuing conventional hospital operations (for example, a bar code system),
(EN) A return visitor with a bar code reader that can easily select a desired department to be visited from different reexamination departments for each patient. Further, the present invention allows the patient information to be read from both the barcode and the magnetic stripe on the examination ticket while continuing the conventional hospital work, and the desired consultation department can be selected from the departments that can be revisited differently for each patient. We will provide a repeat visitor with a barcode reader that can be easily selected.

[0006]

In order to solve this problem, a return visitor with a bar code reader according to the present invention has a mechanism for conveying a medical examination ticket, and a bar code on the medical examination ticket is conveyed. Bar code reading means for reading the patient information, first transmitting means for transmitting the patient information read from the bar code on the consultation ticket, and re-identification specified by the patient returned based on the patient information. Re-examination possible department notification means for receiving diagnosable department information and identifiable information, and input means for selecting and inputting the department information for which re-examination is desired from the notified re-examination department information. And secondly transmitting the family information of the re-examination request inputted from the input means.
And a reception number output means for receiving and outputting the reception number of the re-examination department that is returned based on the re-examination possible department information and the re-examination desired department information. To do.

Further, the return visitor with bar code reader according to the present invention has a mechanism for conveying a medical examination ticket, and is conveyed with a bar code reading means for reading patient information from the bar code on the conveyed medical examination ticket. Magnetic data reading means for reading patient information from the magnetic stripe on the medical examination card, and first transmitting means for transmitting the patient information selected by reading from the barcode and / or magnetic stripe on the medical examination ticket. , A re-examination possible department notifying means for receiving the re-examination possible department information specified by the patient, which is returned based on the patient information, and informing in a distinguishable manner, and the notified re-examination possible department information Input means for selecting and inputting the department information for which re-examination is desired, second transmitting means for transmitting the department information for re-examination desired inputted from the input means, and the re-examination possible department information Said again Characterized in that it comprises an acceptance number output means for receiving the reception number of return-visit family sent back to output based on the family desired information.

[0008]

[Operation] With such a configuration, the barcode on the examination ticket,
Alternatively, when the patient information is read from either the barcode or the magnetic stripe, the department that the patient can receive is notified, and when the desired department is selected from the notified departments, the reception number corresponding to the consultation department is printed. Since a reception slip will be issued, you can select the desired consultation department from the departments that you can see,
Receipt number can be assigned automatically.

First, in step S10, waiting for the insertion of the medical examination card with the bar code, and when the medical examination card is inserted, the process proceeds to step S11, in which the medical examination card is automatically conveyed, drawn into the insertion slot, and then discharged, while the bar code is inserted. Read patient information from. The registration number is sent to the revisited system controller 20 in step S12, and a reply is awaited in step S13. When there is a reply, this reply information includes information about the departments that can be examined, so in step S14, the contents of the rear operation panel 16 of the user are taken into consideration to determine the departments that can be examined, and In S15, the medical examination possible department in the key group 15a is turned on.

Next, in step S16, the patient waits for the desired department to be pressed from the above-mentioned lit medical departments that can be examined,
If the button is pressed, the consultation flag is set in step S17 and the department to be examined is stored. Next, in step S18, the user waits for key input of the medical examination contents, and if there is an input, the medical examination contents are stored in step S19. In step S20, the input of the confirmation key is waited, and if there is an input, the process proceeds to step S21 to send the department and the contents of the consultation to the system controller again.

At step S22, a reply is waited for. When there is a reply, this reply information includes the reception number for each department (or each consultation content). Therefore, at step S23, this is set in the reception number area of each department. It is stored and the acceptance slip is printed out based on this information in step S24. When the print output is normally completed, the revisit system controller 20 is notified of the completion of receipt of the acceptance slip in step S25.

FIG. 6A is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of the return system controller 20 of the first embodiment.
First, in step S30 or S33, it is checked whether or not there is a reception from the host computer 50 or the return visitor 10. If there is a reception from the host computer 50, the process proceeds to step S31 to check the ID of the return visitor included in the received information, and then step S3
In step 2, the information is transferred to the corresponding return visitor. When the return visitor is connected by LAN, the information including the ID is transferred.

On the other hand, if it is received from the re-accepting device 10, the ID of the re-accepting device is added for reply in step S34, and the information is sent to the host computer 50 in step S35.
Transfer to. Also in this case, if the return visitor creates information including the ID, the return visit system controller 20 only processes the data transfer. FIG. 6B is a flow chart showing a processing procedure relating to the present invention of the host computer 50 of the first embodiment.

First, steps S36, S39 or S
47, first visit information or return system controller 20
Alternatively, it is checked whether or not there is a reception from the monitor 40. If it is the initial examination information, the information of the initial examination person is additionally registered in the all patient information storage area in step S37, and the reception number of the corresponding examination department is transmitted to the initial examination terminal in step S38.
Increment the reception number.

If it is a reception from the revisiting system controller 20, it is determined in steps S40 and S44 whether the request is for a department that can receive a medical examination or a request for an acceptance number. The patient information is searched by using the registration number, and the department that can be examined is determined in step S42. The determination of the possible departments to be examined is based on at least (the department that once visited) * (not on leave). However, * indicates a logical product. The information of the possible medical examination departments determined in step S43 is returned to the corresponding return visitor 10.

If the reception number is requested, step S45.
In consideration of the conditions for presenting the insurance card, the reception number of the desired medical examination department is returned to the return visitor 10 and the reception number is incremented. In step S46, the accumulated information is updated corresponding to the patient. Next, if it is received from the monitor 40, the present reception information or the medical examination status is displayed on the monitor in step S48.

<Operation of Second Embodiment> FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of the re-acceptance receiver 10 of the second embodiment.
In the figure, only parts different from those in FIGS. 5A and 5B are shown. In steps S21 and S22, after the reception department and the contents are sent to the host computer 50 via the return system controller 20, when a reply is received, step S5
In step 1, it is checked whether or not the insurance card is presented. If the insurance card is not presented, the process proceeds to step S23 to store the receipt number, and then the same processing as in FIGS. 5A and 5B is performed.

If it is an instruction to present an insurance card, step S52.
Waiting for the presentation of the insurance card by the patient, the image of the insurance card is read by the insurance card reading unit 17 in step S53, and its characteristics are extracted in step S54. Here, two examples of the feature extraction method adopted in this embodiment will be given. These methods are examples of those that have the advantage of being able to clarify the difference corresponding to the image of the insurance card with a small amount of data. 1. Feature extraction based on appearance frequency Obtain the density distribution of the read image.

The threshold value is determined based on the concentration distribution, and the threshold value is stored. Binarized data is obtained according to the threshold value determined in. The frequency of pixels having a value of "1" in the binarized image is calculated and stored as a characteristic parameter. An example of the above feature extraction is shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B. 2. Feature extraction by histogram projected in a predetermined direction A binary image is obtained by the same method as (1).

Binary image data is projected vertically,
Pixels having a value of "1" are counted to obtain a histogram. Do the same for the horizontal direction. The histogram obtained for each is stored as a characteristic parameter. An example of the above feature extraction is shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B.

The feature extraction is not limited to this example. Figure 7
Then, the characteristics extracted in step S55 are transmitted to the host computer 50 via the revisited system controller 20, and in step S56, a reply to the acceptance number is waited for, and steps S23 and thereafter are executed. Note that the processing when the image verification of the insurance card is not OK is omitted because it is not important.

FIG. 8 shows the host computer 5 of the second embodiment.
It is a flow chart which shows the processing procedure 0 related to the present invention. This figure also shows only the parts different from FIG. 6B.
If it is determined in step S41 that the medical examination department and the contents have been examined by the return visitor 10, it is determined in step S61 whether or not it is necessary to present the insurance card based on the last medical examination date for each medical examination department. If even one department needs it, step S6
The process proceeds from 2 to S63, and the request for presenting the insurance card is sent to the return visitor 10.

If the contents are not the examination department and contents in step S44, it is checked in step S64 whether or not the characteristics of the image of the health insurance card are sent. If the characteristics of the image of the insurance card are stored in advance in step S65. Compare and collate with the image features. If the collation is not OK, error processing is performed, and if OK, the receipt number is transmitted and the receipt number is incremented in step S45, and the stored information is updated in step S46.

In the second embodiment as well, since the processing procedure of the revisiting system controller 20 is the same as that of the basic FIG. 6A, it is not described again. 11A to 11C are diagrams showing examples of acceptance slips issued in this embodiment. 11A in FIG.
An example in which all reception departments are filled in on one sheet of the reception form, FIG. 11B, FIG.
1C is an example in which an acceptance vote is issued for each department, especially in FIG. 11C.
The information on the co-examination is written in. As a result, it is possible to make an inquiry to another department when there is no patient even at the examination number.

In this embodiment, after the patient has selected a department to be examined, a request for presenting an insurance card is issued to show and verify the insurance card. The departments that need to be presented may be notified at the same time. For example, turning on the key group 15a (or the instruction button on the display screen)
It is conceivable that if it is green, it is possible to have a medical examination without showing a health insurance card, and if it is red, it is possible to have a medical examination with a health insurance card that is required.

Further, in the present embodiment, although the processing by the cancel key or the error processing is not shown, it is needless to say that the cancel key is almighty, and on the other hand, an error check is performed at each communication processing. . Further, the communication information between the return visitor and the return system controller is not limited to this example, and various configurations of each stored information can be considered. In addition, it is natural that data storage / correction and confidentiality management are performed.
