Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a dental treatment facility, and more specifically, in order to make maximum use of diagnostic information for treatment, a new diagnostic area separate from the treatment area, which was not equipped with this area in the past, has been established, and a reception desk is provided. The diagnosis area and the treatment area, including the area, are equipped with information input/output devices and respective display devices, and these devices are connected in series.

The aim is to immediately and freely input and output information in each area and exchange information between areas, and in particular, to quickly and easily display and confirm diagnostic information in treatment areas, thereby establishing an appropriate treatment system. This paper concerns a new dental treatment system. In a preferred embodiment, it is impossible to have a glimpse of the diagnostic information in the medical record during treatment, especially after using the unique mechanical equipment that should be provided in the diagnostic and treatment areas. When highly accurate diagnostic data is needed immediately, such as during treatment, it is virtually impossible to look at medical records while undergoing treatment. In addition, it goes without saying that when it is necessary to immediately refer to information on areas other than the treatment area that is not included in the medical record or is insufficient even if it is present, the conventional medical record system cannot meet that request.

In order to improve the above, the present invention provides a diagnostic mechanism characterized as described above. The contents of the preferred embodiment will be described in detail below; Fig. 1 is a flowchart showing an outline of the entire mechanism of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a detailed 7' flowchart taking the diagnostic area as an example. Show the diagram.

As is clear from the figure, the medical treatment system of the present invention includes a reception area 1, a diagnosis area 2. Includes treatment area 3.

Of these, in the reception area 1, information about the patient's visit, such as name, age, gender, address, past illnesses, etc., is stored for administrative purposes, and in the diagnosis area 2, various diagnostic instruments 23...
In the treatment area 3, various treatment equipment 3
In particular, in the diagnosis area 2, diagnostic measurements over a wide range of areas as possible can be carried out independently of the treatment. In order to enable input/output and display of each of the above information in each area and to enable immediate information exchange between areas, each area 1+2*3 is equipped with an input/output device 11621゜3 as shown in Figure 1.
A keyboard is provided as 1, a display device 12, a CRT and/or a printer as 32, and these are provided as 1.
They are connected in series by an information transmission cable 4.

In the reception area 1, the information in each area 1,293 is preferably stored automatically in the main memory 13 via the input/output device 21.31 and the display device 22.32. Appropriate electronic devices (not shown) are interposed between the instruments 23, 33, . Although this is desired to reduce the information writing effort of the diagnostic or treatment operator, it is not required. The specific input/output 1 display and storage of information in the diagnosis area 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2, and this will be done in the treatment area 3 in exactly the same manner. First, to start diagnosis, the system p-) SW is pressed to pull out the diagnostic instrument 231 from the holder (not shown), and the 1 selection SWa is activated to operate the diagnostic circuit (not shown) unique to the diagnostic instrument 23a. While continuing necessary diagnostic measurements while operating the diagnostic instrument 23a, the measurement information obtained by operating the 2) SW is input into the auxiliary memory 24 moment by moment. Stodab S
When the measurement is ended by pressing W, the information in the auxiliary memory 24 is automatically transferred to the main memory 13. The auxiliary memory 24 loses stored information due to power down, but the main memory 13 is a storage medium such as a floppy disk, so the information is stored. The operating state when using the diagnostic instrument 23b is also the same as above. In this way, within the diagnosis area 2, measurement information is stored in the main memory 13 every time various diagnoses are completed. Therefore, by tapping the output device 21 in the diagnostic area 2, measurement information is displayed on the display device 22. This measurement information is displayed in the same way by operating the output device 31 of the treatment area 3. The input and storage of information using the various treatment devices 33 in the treatment area 3 is also the same as described above.

It is the same as above for reception area 1, but this
In this case, information is input manually (by the receptionist).

In this way, according to the present invention mechanism, three areas 1,
Information obtained in other areas can be freely exchanged and checked from anywhere in 213.

Of course, the information on areas 2 and 3 may be input manually. Furthermore, the relationship between the holder and the selection switch as an information automatic input system in the diagnostic area 2 is only one example, and there are many alternatives, additions,
It goes without saying that changes are possible.As mentioned above, in the treatment area 3, essential diagnostic information must be read on the display device 32 located close to the operator prior to treatment. Doing the work is much more efficient and immediate than the medical chart method.

Also regarding information other than the minimum necessary for the treatment (intermittent information).

As long as you memorize the measurements in advance, you can improve the accuracy of treatment,
Of course, it is useful for increasing its effectiveness. In conventional treatments, it was customary to provide only the minimum essential diagnostic information in the treatment area prior to treatment.
Although the treatment area was equipped with many diagnostic instruments and the necessary beds and related equipment, it was based on a medical chart system, and there was a tendency to give independence to treatment and subordinate diagnosis, so diagnostic measurement was difficult. The information was not necessarily sufficient, and there was a lack of references to related information.

According to the mechanism of the present invention, due to the above-described function, a large amount of diagnostic information that has already been measured can be immediately referred to as an image during treatment, making it possible to perform appropriate treatment with high treatment accuracy. Similarly, treatment information can be immediately referenced in the diagnosis area and reception area.

Comprehensive diagnostic decisions will be possible, which will be of great benefit to both doctors and patients.

In addition, in the description, if such equipment is desirable and necessary, several diagnostic devices may be provided within the treatment area to perform diagnosis prior to treatment.

Furthermore, since information is stored in the main memory, it is also possible to completely eliminate medical records.
