The waiting time is calculated for each patient based on the scheduled medical treatment start time and the required medical treatment required time as described below. When the terminal 3 is installed in a waiting room, a patient waiting for medical treatment (hereinafter, this patient is referred to as a target patient) is used by the terminal to generate the patient information file 101.
3 to retrieve the doctor in charge of the target patient, and then retrieve the doctor information file 1012 by the responsible doctor to read the doctor's office where the doctor is located, and further retrieve the patient information file 1013 from the doctor's office. Then, all the patients for whom the scheduled medical treatment start time is set earlier than the patient are acquired from the patient information file 1013 in the doctor's office where the doctor in charge is located (hereinafter, these patients are referred to as prior medical care patients). Some of these patients include patients undergoing medical treatment. There are usually a plurality of patients waiting for medical treatment in the clinic, and thus information on the plurality of patients is obtained separately from the patient whose waiting time is to be calculated. Among the time information stored in the patient information for the preceding medical treatment patient, the scheduled medical treatment required time is accumulated for each preceding medical treatment patient, and then, based on the cumulative result, the time relating to the patient currently undergoing medical treatment among the preceding medical treatment patients. By subtracting the medical treatment elapsed time (the time obtained by subtracting the actual medical treatment start time from the current time) from the information, the medical treatment waiting time of the subject itself is calculated. The medical treatment waiting time of the target patient thus calculated is used as prediction information of the medical treatment waiting time of the target patient, together with the information of the previous medical treatment patient in the terminal information display unit 306 of the terminal 3 installed in the waiting room. indicate. FIG. 10 shows a specific example in which Taro Yamada is calculated as the target patient and the predicted medical treatment start time of the patient is calculated and displayed publicly on the terminal information display unit 306 together with the information of the previous medical treatment patient. In this figure, there are five prior medical treatment patients who are in medical treatment or waiting for medical treatment in front of the target patient, and the predicted medical treatment start time of the target patient is about one hour and thirty minutes, and this one hour You can consider using 30 minutes effectively. FIG. 9 is a flowchart in which the receptionist determines the doctor in charge of the booked patient who has visited the hospital, and a series of processes will be described according to the flow. STEP901. First, the doctor in charge of the appointment patient who visited the hospital is checked. The information processing apparatus 1 uses the name or patient code of the patient as a search key.
The reservation information file 1011 is searched to obtain the reservation information of the patient. The obtained reservation information of the patient includes
The name of the patient, the patient code, the medical appointment date and time, the doctor in charge of the medical care, the scheduled medical treatment time, and the like are stored. STE
P902. Check the work status of the doctor who will be in charge of medical treatment (abbreviated to doctor in charge) obtained above. Using the doctor in charge as a search key, a doctor information file 10

The work status is information set by each doctor in the corresponding medical office as described on the work status setting screen in FIG. 4, and includes the name of each doctor in the medical institution, the medical office in charge, The information includes a doctor's name, classification information indicating whether or not medical treatment is currently possible, and a reason when medical treatment is not possible at present. If it is determined that medical treatment is possible based on the classification information on whether or not the medical treatment is possible among the information, STEP 90
Move to 5 and if it is determined that medical treatment is not possible,
Proceed to P903. STEP903. In this step, the doctor in charge, which is set at the time of the medical appointment for the patient, cannot perform the medical treatment. Therefore, another doctor who can be in charge of the medical treatment of the patient who can be treated is searched. First, with respect to the substitute doctor obtained in STEP 902, the doctor information file 1012 is searched using the substitute doctor as a search key to acquire the work status of the doctor. If it is determined that medical treatment is possible based on the acquired information on the working status of the doctor concerned, whether or not medical treatment is possible, the alternative doctor is replaced with the doctor in charge of the patient, and the process proceeds to STEP 904. If it is determined that the doctor is possible, all the doctors who can be treated are displayed on the doctor-in-charge selection screen as described in the doctor-in-charge selection screen shown in FIG. 6, and the doctor in charge of the patient is selected. STEP904. Here, the doctor in charge of the patient today is finally determined. In STEP 903, when it is determined that the alternative doctor is currently available for medical treatment, the alternative doctor is determined as the current doctor in charge of the patient, or when it is determined that the alternative doctor is not currently available for medical treatment, The physician selected on the physician selection screen is determined as the physician in charge of the patient today. STEP904. Here, as the doctor in charge at the time of the reservation of the patient, or as the doctor in charge determined in STEP 904, he / she is notified that the patient with the medical treatment reservation has come to the terminal 3 in use in the medical office where the doctor in charge is located. Submit information. As described above, according to the flowchart of FIG. 9, in a series of processes, the work status of the doctor in charge of today's medical care for the visiting patient is immediately checked at the terminal installed at the reception. The doctor in charge can determine the doctor in charge in the doctor information file 1012 by referring to the doctors working at the medical institution, such as the doctor's office where each doctor is located, the working status, and the substitute doctor. This is realized by the technical idea of the visit management system of the present invention, in which the information is stored and updated in each medical office in real time.
