Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic cash register capable of registering patient's medical expenses and the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there has been no electronic cash register that calculates and registers the amount to be paid by a patient by inputting medical points.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For this reason, conventionally, an electronic desktop calculator or the like was used to calculate the total medical score from the medical records written by the doctor, and then calculate the medical cost from the total and the unit price of the score. The amount to be paid by the patient must be determined from the medical expenses and the patient contribution rate, and the result must be registered in a conventional electronic cash register to receive the amount from the customer, making counter operations extremely troublesome. For this reason, the cash register may be provided with a point registration function so that the patient's burden can be automatically calculated and registered by registering the points. On the other hand, with electronic cash registers that register regular product sales data, it is necessary to notify the customer of the details of each product purchased, so the individual product sales data registered and the total data are printed on the receipt. There is. However, in the case of receipts handed to customers at medical institutions, etc., individual registered points are not necessarily required, and in many cases, it is sufficient to know the total medical points. Therefore, if the individually registered medical scores are printed on the receipt, a problem arises in that the receipt paper is wasted.

This invention was made in view of these points, and by inputting the medical score, the patient's burden can be calculated, registered, and output, which improves the processing efficiency of counter operations and allows individual receipts to be registered. To provide an electronic cash register capable of preventing wasteful consumption of receipt paper by prohibiting printing of medical scores.

Furthermore, in some cases, medical institutions and the like do not require details of individual medical scores registered not only in receipts but also in journals.

This invention has also been made in view of these points, and provides an electronic cash register that can prevent the wasteful consumption of journal paper by prohibiting the printing of individually registered medical scores on journals. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention includes a numeric key, a score registration key for registering numeric data input using the numeric key as medical score data, and a score registration key for registering numeric data input using the numeric key as medical score data. A means for adding medical point data to a customer point totalizer, an insurance key, a burden rate setting memory in which the patient burden rate is set corresponding to the insurance key, and a burden rate setting memory that can be set by operating the insurance key. An operation that reads out the patient burden rate from , reads the point unit price set in the point unit price setting memory, and calculates the patient burden amount from the total medical points added to the customer point totalizer, the patient burden rate, and the point unit price. means, a receipt printer that prints out the total medical points of the customer point totalizer and the patient burden amount calculated by the calculation means on receipt paper, the medical point data registered with the point registration key, and the total customer points. The device is equipped with a journal printer that prints out the total medical score of the device and the patient burden amount calculated by the calculation means on journal paper.

Further, the present invention allows the journal printer to print out only the total medical score of the customer score totalizer and the patient burden amount calculated by the calculation means.

[Operation] In the present invention having such a configuration, by registering the medical score, the medical score is added to the score totalizer, and the medical cost is calculated from the total score of the score totalizer and the unit price of the score,
The patient burden amount is calculated from the medical expenses and the corresponding patient burden rate.

Further, when this flag is set in the check of the open key flag F4, an error occurs if even one of the point counter key flag F5, the numeric key flag F1, and the % key flag F3 is not set. This is because when the open key 906 is operated, it is necessary to input the burden rate using the numeric key 901 and the % key 907. When the flags F5, Fl, and F3 are all set, the contents stored in the number buffer 301 are stored in the open burden rate setting area 322 as burden rate data. Then, the content of the customer point totalizer 319 is multiplied by the point unit price in the point unit price setting area 304 to calculate the total medical cost, and the result is stored in the customer medical cost memory 321. Subsequently, the patient's burden amount is calculated by multiplying the contents of the customer medical expense memory 321 by the patient burden rate set in the open burden rate setting area 322, and the result is stored in the customer burden amount memory 320.

And the number key flag Fl, the oven key flag F4,
Clear the % key flag F3 and clear the contents of the open burden rate setting area 322.

Next, it is checked whether the first visit key flag F6 is set or not, and the subsequent processing is the oven key flag F4 mentioned above.
The same processing as when is not set is performed.

FIG. 14 shows the inner non-insurance key 9g19 of the department key 902.
This shows the key processing of No. 11. If this key is manually operated, first it is checked whether or not the numeric key flag F1 is set. If this flag is not set, it is treated as an error, and if it is set, the numeric key flag F1 is set. The contents of the buffer 301 are stored as amount data in the print buffer 308, and the customer non-insurance totalizer 324 and the customer payment totalizer 32
Add each to 3. Further, the contents of the number buffer 301 at this time are accumulated in the non-insurance total amount totalizer 420 and the accounting total amount totalizer 421, respectively, and the total non-insurance customer number counter 419 is counted up. Finally, the numeric key flag F1 is cleared.

FIG. 15 shows the key processing of the input/receive key 910.
If this key power is available, first check whether the numeric key flag F1 is set or not, and if this flag is not set, it will be treated as an error, and if it is set, it will be checked.
The contents of the 111 buffer 301 are stored in the receiving memory 311 as an amount. Next, the reception in the reception memory 311 is compared with the payment total (patient burden amount + non-insurance amount) in the customer payment totalizer 323, and if the reception is large, the anterior capsule flag F7 is set, and if the payment total is large, the Set reception flag F8. Then, store the receipt in the display buffer 309,
Furthermore, it is stored in the print buffer 308. Finally, the numeric key flag F1 is cleared.

FIG. 16 shows the key processing of the position needle key 911. When this key is operated manually, it is checked whether or not the anterior capsule flag F7 is set. If this flag is set, it is determined as an error. If it is not set, then it is checked whether the receiving flag F8 is set.

If the reception flag F8 is not set, it is determined that it is normal needle tightening processing and that processing is performed, and if it is set, the contents of the reception memory 311 are transferred to the cash inventory memory 31.
6. Add each to the current totalizer 315. Furthermore, the receipt is subtracted from the payment total of the customer payment totalizer 323, and the results are stored in the display buffer 3o9 and the print buffer 308, respectively. Finally, the receiving flag F8 is cleared.

FIG. 17 shows the key processing of the deposit total key 913. When this key is operated manually, it is first checked whether or not the front bag flag F7 is set. If this flag is set, the front bag total is The refund amount is calculated by adding the receipt to 5313 and subtracting the total payment from the receipt. Subsequently, the amount to be returned is subtracted from the cash balance memory 316, and the returned amount is stored as the change amount in the display buffer 309 and print/input 308, and the pre-receipt flag F7 is cleared.

Furthermore, if the advance receipt flag F7 is not set, it is subsequently checked whether the receipt flag F8 is set, and if this flag is also not set, it is determined that it is normal cash processing and that processing is performed. . Further, if the flag F8 is set, the receiver adds the receiver to the advance receipt totalizer 313, and further subtracts the receiver from the payment total to calculate the remaining payments.

Subsequently, the contents of the customer payment totalizer 323 are changed to this remaining amount, and the amount is stored in the display buffer 309 as the insufficient amount.

Next, it is checked whether or not the number key flag F1 is set, and if this flag is not set, the contents of the customer payment totalizer 323 are added to the cash balance memory 316 and the current total totaler 315, respectively. and payment totalizer 323
The contents of are stored in the print buffer 308 and the receive flag F8 is cleared. Also, if the numeric key flag F1 is set, the contents of the customer payment totalizer 323 are sent to the print buffer 308.
Then, the contents of the customer payment totalizer 323 are subtracted from the deposited amount to calculate the change amount, and the contents of the customer payment amount tl' 5323 are stored in the cash balance memory 31.
6. Add each to the current totalizer 315. Further, the deposited amount is stored in the print buffer 308, and then the changed amount is stored in the display buffer 309 and the print buffer 308. In this case, the change amount is stored in the print buffer 308 after the deposit amount is printed.

Finally, the reception flag F8 is cleared.

Further, the CPUI performs point printing control as shown in FIG. 18 for the receipt printer 13a and the journal printer 13b. This is done based on the contents of the receipt flag LF and journal flag JF. That is,
If both the receipt flag LF and journal flag JF are set, then the receipt printer 1
3a and journal printer 13b to print individually registered medical scores. If the receipt flag LF is set and the journal flag JF is cleared, then only the receipt printer 13a prints the individually registered medical scores, and the journal printer 13b prints the individually registered medical scores. Prohibit printing of scores. Further, if the journal flag JF is set and the receipt flag LF is cleared, in this case, only the journal printer 13b is made to print the individually registered medical scores, and the receipt printer 1
In 3a, printing of individually registered medical scores is prohibited. Furthermore, if both the receipt flag LF and the journal flag JF are cleared, then the receipt printer 13a and the journal printer 13b
The printing of individually registered medical scores will be prohibited in both cases.

In addition, the CPUI is controlled by the control switch 17.
When the "inspection" mode or the "settlement" mode is set, if the deposit/total key 913 is pressed from the keyboard 9, the various totalizers 401, 404, 4 shown in FIG. 4 are activated.
05.408.409.410.413.414.41
7.418.420.421.422 and various counters 402.403.40B, 407.411.412.
The contents of 415, 416, and 419 are sequentially printed in the buffer 30.
8 and the printer 13 prints out the data.

In the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, if the patient is a patient or a person eligible for health insurance, the health insurance key 91 of the insurance type keys 914 is operated first. Next, look at the medical record written by the doctor, manually enter the medical score using the number keys 901, and press the score key 9.
03, the data is added to the customer point totalizer 319. By repeating this key operation according to various medical treatment contents, the total medical score of the patient's medical treatment on that day is totaled in the score totalizer 319. At this time, the individually input points are displayed on the display 11, but for example, if only the receipt switch 18 is turned on, the receipt flag LF is cleared, so printing by the receipt printer 13a is prohibited, and the journal The information is printed out only on journal paper by the printer 13b. For example, if both the receipt switch 18 and the journal switch 19 are turned on, both the receipt flag LF and the journal flag JF are cleared, so the receipt printer 13a and the journal printer 13b print each registered point. is prohibited. Then, by operating the score needle key 904 to complete the score input, the patient's total score is displayed on the display 11 and printed out on the printers 13a, 13b. In this case, if the patient has only one treatment target, the score can be registered by omitting the operation of the score key 903, inputting the score with the number key 901, and immediately operating the score needle key 904. Next, since this patient is covered by health insurance, the department key whose burden rate is set to "10%", that is, the 10% burden key 9b is operated. As a result, the unit price per point is read from the point unit price setting area 304, the total medical cost is calculated, and the patient burden amount is calculated from the total medical cost and the burden rate. Then, the calculated patient burden amount is displayed on the display 11 and printed out by the printer 13. For example, if the total score is 2,500 points and the cost per score is 10 yen, the total medical cost will be 25,000 yen and the patient's burden will be 2,500 yen. Then, deposit money from the patient, enter the money using the number key 901, and deposit/total key 91.
By operating 3, the change will be calculated and displayed on the display 11, facilitating smooth financial transactions with the patient.

At this time, if both the receipt switch 18 and the journal switch 19 are OFF, the 19th
As shown in Figure 20 (a), individual registered points ■, ■, total points ■, patient burden ■, etc. are printed on the journal paper, as shown in Figure 20 (a). Scores ■, ■, total points ■, patient burden ■, etc. are printed. If the receipt switch 18 is ON, the individual registered points are not printed on the receipt paper as shown in FIG. 19(b), but only the total points (■), patient burden (■), etc. are printed. Further, if the journal switch 19 is ON, the individual registered points are not printed on the journal paper as shown in FIG. 20(b), but only the total points (■), patient burden (■), etc. are printed.

In this way, by inputting the medical score from the keyboard 9 and specifying the patient's burden rate, the patient's burden amount is calculated and outputted by the display 11 or printer 13.

Therefore, it is no longer necessary to perform the troublesome work of first calculating the score and patient's burden amount using an electronic desktop calculator and then registering it in the cash register as in the past. Moreover, since individual registered points are no longer printed on the receipt paper simply by turning on the receipt switch 18, wasteful consumption of receipts can be prevented when there is no need to print individual registered points on the receipt. Further, since individual registered points are no longer printed on the journal paper simply by turning on the journal switch 19, wasteful consumption of journals can be prevented when there is no need to print individual registered points on the journal. Therefore, if there is no need to print individual registered points on either receipts or journals, it is sufficient to turn on each switch 18 and 19, which prevents wasteful consumption of both types of paper and is practical. You can improve your sexuality.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, by inputting the medical score, the patient's burden can be calculated, registered, and output, improving the processing efficiency of counter operations, and registering it individually in the receipt. It is possible to provide an electronic cash register which can prevent wasteful consumption of receipt paper by prohibiting printing of received medical scores.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can prevent the wasteful consumption of journal paper by prohibiting printing of individually registered medical scores on journals.
