According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hospital management server for receiving a telephone number of a patient and generating a patient ID corresponding to the telephone number; And a terminal server in which the patient terminal ID and the patient terminal location corresponding to the patient terminal installed at each bed are stored, wherein the terminal server receives the patient ID and the telephone number from the hospital management server and receives a confirmation number corresponding to the telephone number And transmits the received patient number to the telephone number. The system also receives a confirmation number from the patient terminal, identifies the patient terminal to which the confirmation number is transmitted, and correlates the patient ID with the identified patient terminal position.

The hospital management server may store information on the position of the patient terminal, and if there is a telephone number input from the hospital terminal, the hospital management server receives the position of the patient terminal corresponding to the telephone number from the terminal server and displays the position on the hospital terminal .

Wherein the terminal server transmits the tracked position of the patient terminal to the hospital management server, and the hospital management server includes a menu module in which the menu information corresponding to the patient ID is stored, Information is transmitted to the patient terminal corresponding to the patient ID and displayed.

The hospital management server has a medical examination DB in which patient's medical care and examination schedule are stored, and the diary module detects the patient's medical examination DB and stores the corresponding menu information with reference to the corresponding diary table.

Preferably, the hospital management server stores the patient ID and the discharge date corresponding to the patient ID, and, when there is a request from the patient terminal, displays the discharge date corresponding to the patient ID for each bed.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily identify an inpatient bed in a patient easily without burdening a medical staff such as a nurse, thereby providing individual services specialized for the patient.

In addition, there is no need for additional equipment such as RFID, NFC reader, etc. in order to identify the patient's bed position, which is advantageous in that the cost is reduced and there is no fear of leakage of personal information.

If the patient ID and the telephone number are stored in the terminal server at least, the position of the patient's bed position is automatically checked, and there is no fear of personal information leakage.

The configuration and operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system for locating a patient's bed position according to the present invention includes a hospital management server 100, a terminal server 200, a patient terminal 300, and a hospital terminal 400.

The hospital management server 100 is a computer system related to the general business of a hospital and includes an order communication system (OCS), an electronic medical record (EMR), a medical image storage server (PACS) archiving communication system.

In addition, the hospital management server stores a map of the inside of the hospital including the positions of the hospital room and the patient terminal, and provides a map module for visually displaying necessary positions for customers such as a protector and a visitor, Module.

2, the patient terminal 300 according to the present embodiment includes a patient terminal 300 in a form capable of touch input for each bed in each hospitalized room. The plurality of patient terminals 300 are connected to the terminal server 200 to transmit and receive necessary data.

The terminal server 200 is provided with a TV module and can watch a TV through a patient terminal. The terminal server 200 receives various medical information provided by the hospital such as a nurse call and a hospital management server, .

In addition, the location of each patient terminal is stored in the terminal server. That is, each patient terminal has a unique patient terminal ID, and the patient's terminal ID is stored in the terminal server together with the ID of the patient's terminal, such as No. 702 No. 3, so that the bed position of the patient terminal can be confirmed.

In the patient bed position determination system according to the present embodiment, the hospital management server includes a patient information module, and upon receiving the information such as the name, age, sex, address, and telephone number of the patient, Create an ID. Such a patient ID can be used as unique identification information for recognizing a patient in a hospital. In the hospital management server, the patient ID and the patient terminal ID matching therewith may be stored.

An agent module for the terminal server is provided in the database of the hospital management server. The agent module detects whether a new patient ID is generated in the hospital management server, and when a new patient ID is generated, And transmits the corresponding telephone number to the terminal server.

Then, the terminal server generates an identification number corresponding to the telephone number. The confirmation number may be generated as any four-digit number, and may include other numbers and symbols.

On the other hand, the patient terminal located on the bed without the patient displays a message for pressing the confirmation number and an input window for pressing the confirmation number as shown in FIG. In addition, the user can input the telephone number and press the "Ask for confirmation number" button when he or she does not receive the confirmation number.

When the "request for confirmation number" button is pressed, the confirmation number request signal and the inputted telephone number are transmitted to the terminal server. In the terminal server, the patient ID corresponding to the telephone number and the patient ID If there is no patient terminal ID matching the patient ID, the terminal ID is determined as a new patient. If there is a patient terminal ID matching the patient ID, the existing patient is determined to have moved.

When the terminal server determines that there is a patient ID corresponding to the telephone number as a result of the request to the hospital management server, it generates an identification number and transmits it to the telephone number. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no patient ID corresponding to the telephone number, the confirmation number is not generated.

Meanwhile, the patient confirms the confirmation number transmitted from the terminal server through the telephone, and inputs the confirmation number to the patient terminal. Then, the patient terminal transmits the confirmation number input together with the patient terminal ID to the terminal server.

The terminal server compares the generated confirmation number with the received confirmation number and transmits the corresponding patient terminal ID and telephone number to the hospital management server when they match.

Through this process, the hospital management server stores the patient ID and the matched patient terminal ID, so that it is possible to automatically identify the patient in which hospital the patient is located.

In the patient bed position determination system according to the present embodiment, a hospital terminal is installed in various places of a hospital, and the hospital terminal is provided in a manner capable of touch input. That is, referring to FIG. 4, a visitor, a guardian, or the like displays a screen for entering a telephone number of a patient to be found and a visitor name by pressing a patient search button on a hospital terminal. When the telephone number of the patient and the name of the visitor are inputted, the hospital terminal transmits the telephone number of the patient and the visitor name to the hospital management server. In the hospital management server, the patient name and the sick bed And the position is visually displayed through the map module as shown in FIG.

At the same time, the hospital management server sends the relevant message to the patient's telephone or patient terminal. For example, the message " Last visited by Choi " may be sent. In this way, the patient can know in advance that the visitor has arrived at the hospital, and suddenly, the visitor can be prevented from embarrassing without knowing it.

On the other hand, in case the patient is reluctant to automatically notify himself or herself, the hospital management server provides a mode such as name notification, phone number notification, password notification, and not notifying.

The name notification is a method of informing the location of the patient when the patient's name is input. The phone number notification is a method of indicating the location by inputting the patient's telephone number as described above. The password notification is a method in which the patient registers his password in the hospital management server and notifies the patient of the patient's position only to the person who entered the correct password in the hospital terminal. If you choose not to notify, the hospital management server will not tell you where the patient is.

In the meantime, the hospital management server is provided with a dietary module in which dietary information corresponding to the patient ID is stored for each patient. The dietary information is classified into morning, lunch, and evening. Generally, the dietary information is provided in a common diet, but a separate diet is provided for a patient who is in the process of being examined or a patient who has undergone a specific procedure or treatment. In the case of a patient having a separate diet, the doctor or nurse can directly input the contents stored in the OCS server or receive it from the food module. The separate diet also includes fasting.

The dietary module transmits the dietary information to the patient terminal corresponding to each patient ID at a predetermined time. In this way, the patient or caregiver can check the provided menu information in advance and take precautions if the menu is wrong.

In addition, the hospital management server is provided with a medical examination DB storing the medical care and examination schedule of each patient as shown in FIG. 6, and the corresponding meal table as shown in FIG. 7 is provided in the food module.

For example, if the patient ID XJ7Q is scheduled for myocardial perfusion test at 10:00 on December 8, 2016, the patient ID, date, and examination contents will be stored in the medical examination DB. Then, in the food module, the medical examination DB is used to read the examination scheduled on a specific date, and a corresponding meal corresponding to the examination is detected in the corresponding meal table and stored in the meal information. At this time, the meal module compares the date of the test and the corresponding diet, and calculates the 24-hour time stored in the corresponding diet from 10:00 on December 8, 2016, from 10:00 on December 7, 2016 to 10:00 on December 8, 2016 Save fasting information in your diet. Such information of the diet is transmitted to the patient terminal at a predetermined time, and the patient or the caregiver can confirm that they should fast.

In another embodiment, the hospital management server stores a discharge date corresponding to each patient ID. However, in the case of a patient whose discharge date has not been determined, the discharge date may not be stored.

The patient terminal or the hospital terminal is provided with a bedside state button. When the bedside state button is pressed, the hospital management server displays the date of discharge of each bedside of the sickbed using the map module. At this time, if there are empty bottles, you can mark them together. At this time, the patient or the guardian can apply for bed shift by pressing the desired bed. Then, the patient management server stores the patient ID, the current bed position, and the application bed position, and automatically reserves the patient, so that the patient can move to the desired bed with ease and the work load of the hospital worker is reduced.
