Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical material such as a syringe, a catheter, or a medicine, and more particularly to a medical material with a label which is effective for both inventory control and insurance claim omission, and a method for managing the same. .

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The cost of disposable medical materials, such as medicines and syringes, is charged individually to the patients who use them. In most cases, the patient has been billed and paid for their respective medical insurance. In hospitals, it is also an important task to manage stocks of medicines and disposable medical materials so that stocks do not run out.

[0003] As a method of managing medical materials for such a purpose, a bar code label has conventionally been used. In other words, a bar code label is attached to the medical material, and when using the medical material, the bar code label is peeled off and collected. Automatic management such as. A collection box is used to collect the labels. The labels in the collection box are collected every day, and all of them are read by a barcode reader and input to a computer.

[0004] In addition, regarding a patient's medical record, a nurse writes by hand the medical materials such as used medicines and syringes,
This caused a claim to the patient.

[0005] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional method, inventory management can be performed accurately by collecting barcode labels. However, since billing to a patient is handwritten on a medical chart, there is a possibility that omission of description may occur. there were. In fact, in ordinary hospitals, it is actually the case that a few percent of bills are missed. The hospital can understand that there is a missing request, but it is cumbersome and difficult to individually check which patient has forgotten what to claim. In addition, since it is a handwritten entry, there is a possibility that a mistake may be made.

The present invention has been conceived in order to improve such a situation. There is no omission in medical records or erroneous writing, and it is possible to prevent omission of billing for medical treatment and to provide a medical material that can be managed efficiently. , And its management methods.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of releasable data labels on which information is written are attached to a medical material or a package thereof. In this case, the separable shape 2
It is desirable to use a single-spelled data label sheet.

According to the management method of the present invention, a plurality of releasable data labels on which information is written are attached to a medical material or a package thereof, and one of the data labels is collected at a medical site for inventory management, and the other is collected. It is characterized in that one sheet is attached to the patient's chart using the medical material and used for insurance claim management for each patient.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a medical material.
Here, the medical material includes various disposable medical devices such as syringes and catheters, and materials including pharmaceuticals such as injection solutions, drops, and tablets. These medical materials 1 include 2
The data labels 2 and 3 are attached. In this example,
Although two-spelled barcode labels are used as the data labels 2 and 3, any form of data label may be used as long as necessary data can be described.

Further, the data labels 2 and 3 used in this embodiment are those having an adhesive applied to the back surface so that they can be freely peeled off and re-attached to another paper or the like. . The individual labels may be attached to each other in a state where they are separated from each other, but are separated into two sheets with perforations 4 so that they can be separated in the middle of one sheet of label paper. When the label is used, it is easy to attach it, and since two data labels can always be attached, it is convenient because mistakes or forgetting to attach can be prevented.

Although it is desirable that the data labels 2 and 3 are directly applied to the medical material 1 itself, the data labels 2 and 3 may be applied to a package such as a box or a bag containing the medical material 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the medical material 1 according to the present invention is used for a patient, the first data label 2 is peeled off and collected in a collection box 5 as in the prior art. . And the data label 2 in the collection box 5 is 1 day a day.
Each data label is collected and read by a reader (not shown) such as a bar code reader, and the inventory is managed by a computer. The computer performs an automatic subtraction of the used number from the pre-entered inventory, and when a predetermined inventory level is reached, the computer is pre-programmed to order from the merchant and displayed on the display.

The second data label 3 is peeled off from the medical material 1 and affixed to the patient's chart 6 as shown in FIG. At the end of the consultation, the bar code is read by the reader and input to the computer. Thereby, the medical materials used for each patient are input and stored in the computer, and can be output as a list as needed. The hospital makes an insurance claim based on the list.

The information described in the data labels 2 and 3 is basically different information, but may be the same information. Any label with specific information is placed in a collection box and the other is usually affixed to the patient's chart. Some medical materials cannot be claimed for insurance, but the data labels 2 and 3 can also contain that information, so there is no need for the nurse to judge whether or not there is a health claim each time. Processing can be eliminated.

Further, from the medical material 1 after use, all data labels 2 and 3 must be removed. If it does, you can immediately notice the mistake at first glance and easily correct it,
Leakage of expensive medical materials such as catheters can be reliably avoided. Further, three or more data labels can be attached, and each can be used for another management purpose.

[0016] Even when the same medical material is used for surgery or treatment, the number of health claims may differ between the case where it is used for an examination and the case where it is used for an examination. In this case, it is possible to adopt a method in which each item of surgery, treatment, and examination is separately described in a data label as needed, and a mark is appropriately made for each use used. In addition, it is also possible to request a medical material manufacturer in advance and attach a data label before delivery.
It is also possible to prepare a data label (barcode) for each hospital and set its own price or score.

[0017]

According to the present invention as described above,
Since multiple data labels are attached to medical materials, one for each management item such as inventory management and insurance claims
Data labels can be used for each sheet, and management defects such as omission of billing can be prevented. In addition, there is no need to perform the complicated work of rewriting, and at the same time, the work is simply performed by peeling off and pasting, so that it is possible to save trouble and reduce errors.

If the data label is composed of two spelled sheets and is used for inventory control and insurance claim, the management work becomes easy, and in addition to the effect of preventing omission of health claims, it is also effective in preventing medical claims. This has the effect of preventing erroneous calculation of the number of health claims due to mistakes or mistakes in items of medical equipment and medical instruments, and makes errors less likely to occur.
