[0003]

However, in the conventional system, when the system as shown in FIG. 8 is placed in the nurse station and a message related to the patient is generated from the remote place such as the bed of the patient to the nurse station, the nurse station. It was necessary to go back to and refer to the corresponding patient information separately. Further, it has been impossible to refer to the patient information of the serving patient from a distant place and to automatically transmit the emergency patient information for the serving patient to the distant place. Furthermore, when transmitting the information of the patient in charge between the persons in charge, it was necessary to read aloud the content described in the medical record and to give a verbal supplementary explanation.

In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to firstly transmit a message from a remote place such as a patient's bed to a nurse station and smoothly obtain corresponding patient information.

Secondly, it is an object of the present invention to efficiently extract and refer to the information of the patient who is in charge of the patient from a distant place.

Thirdly, when there is urgent communication information for the patient in charge, an alarm is received from a distant place and the information can be referred to immediately.

Fourth, it is possible to input text / voice mixed information into a form such as a chart, and to easily refer to the information without paying attention to distinction between data types of text and voice. The purpose is to make smooth transmission through voice.

A fifth object is to reduce the data amount of the entire system by converting voice data having a large data amount into text data.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is firstly directed to a portable wireless communication slave unit capable of inputting patient identification information and a voice message in a patient information system, and patient information.

To obtain the identification information of the portable wireless communication cordless handset. According to the example of FIG. 2, the emergency contact is set for the patient F, and the identification information of the portable wireless communication slave device used by the nurse X who is the person in charge of the patient F is acquired. Next, an emergency contact notification alarm is transmitted to the portable wireless communication slave unit 133 having the acquired identification information, and the display of the portable wireless communication slave unit indicates that there is an emergency contact notification as shown by 501 in FIG. Is done. Furthermore, the portable wireless communication slave unit 13
By the operation of instructing "data reference" in 3,
As shown in 2, information about the patient to whom the emergency contact is set and the content of the emergency contact are displayed. Here, the emergency information management means 1
Setting of emergency contact to 03 is nursing information system server 10
It may be set at 0 or may be set at the portable wireless communication slave unit 133, and the setting method is not limited. Also, a voice message may be output at the same time as the screen of 502 is displayed, or the screen of 502 may be displayed immediately at the same time as the alarm sound without displaying the screen of 501. Further, when the emergency contact is designated for a plurality of patients, the screen may be switched by repeating the operation of instructing "reference to next data" as in the case shown in FIG.
If emergency transmission information occurs in the patient as described above, the person in charge who should transmit the information is acquired, and the portable wireless communication slave unit identification information of the person in charge is acquired, and the emergency transmission information is notified to the person in charge. An alarm to that effect can be transmitted, and patient information regarding the patient can be acquired by performing a reference instruction operation.

FIG. 6 shows an example of text / voice information that is centrally managed by the text / voice data central management means 106, and its operation will be described with reference to FIGS.
The text information input from the keyboard 121 or the mouse 122 and the voice information input from the microphone 123 are input through the patient information input control unit 110, and the text / voice data unified management means 1 of the patient information management unit 101.
The text and voice information input by 06 is centrally managed. The patient information management table 600 manages information for each patient, and basically, the patient information management table 20 of FIG.
It is the same as 0. A text / voice data unified management table 610 is provided for each patient in the patient information management table, and manages information on text / voice mixing. Reference numeral 612 denotes a flag indicating whether the content of the patient information 613 is text or voice. In the case of voice, the patient information 613 stores information indicating the location of the voice stored in the voice storage unit 620. When the centrally managed information receives a reference instruction from the patient information output control unit 111, the text information is converted into voice through the voice synthesis unit 112, and the voice information is directly voiced, and all the information including the text / voice is voiced. Is output from the speaker 126 in a unified manner. Here, the method based on the date and time of information input is used as a means for centrally managing text and voice information.
A mark for inputting voice may be added to the text, and the position information of the text and the position information of the voice mark may be centrally managed. As a result, it is possible to automatically output all the information of text and voice mixing as voice only by performing a reference instruction operation.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a process for converting voice data into text data, and its operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7. The text / voice data unified management table 610 is also managed in chronological order by the date and time 611 when the information was input by the information input date and time management means 105 of the patient information management unit 101. Here, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, the text / voice flag 612 is voice, and the information input date / time 611 is the preset time t from the current time.
If it is before the value obtained by subtracting, the voice data stored in the voice storage unit 620 is converted into text data by the voice recognition unit 107 and recorded in the patient information 614, and the text / voice flag becomes text. .

In other cases, data conversion is not performed. This process is periodically performed on all the data in the text / voice data unified management table. As a result, information can be handled as voice for a certain period of time after being input, and for those that have passed a certain period of time, the amount of data in the entire system can be reduced by converting the text to voice. You can

[0028]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the message is quickly transmitted to the nurse station from a remote place such as the bed of the patient, and
There is an effect that information of a corresponding patient can be smoothly obtained.

The second aspect of the present invention has the effect that the information of the patient in charge can be efficiently extracted and referred to from a remote place.

Thirdly, according to the third aspect of the invention, when there is urgent communication information for the patient in charge, an alarm can be received from a remote place and the information can be referred to immediately.

Fourth, according to the invention described in claim 4, it is possible to input the information of the text / speech mixture in the form such as the chart, and the information can be easily referred without considering the data type of the text and the voice. There is an effect that smooth communication by voice can be performed through a form such as a medical record.

The fifth aspect of the present invention has the effect of reducing the data amount of the entire system by converting voice data having a large data amount into text data.
