It is possible to determine whether the terminal 200 enters the hospital room.

The hospital room terminal 400 may determine whether the care provider terminal 200 has entered the corresponding hospital room through communication with the care provider terminal 200 . For example, the hospital room terminal 400 recognizes the location of the payroll provider terminal 200 using a short range wireless communication method such as Bluetooth communication or UWB to determine whether the payroll provider terminal 200 has entered the corresponding hospital room. can At this time, the hospital room terminal 400 may determine a second point in time when the benefit provider terminal enters the room, and transmit information about the second point of time to the operation server 100 .

Or, alternatively, the hospital room terminal 400 may transmit a signal instructing the salary provider terminal to enter the room to the operation server 100, and the operation server 100 responds to the signal, when the signal is received. , That is, it is possible to determine a second point in time when the payroll provider terminal entered the room.

According to embodiments, the hospital room terminal 400 receives identification information on the payroll provider terminal 200 that called the payroll provision instruction signal from the operation server 100, and identifies the payroll provider terminal 200 detected in the hospital room. By comparing the information and the identification information on the payroll provider terminal 200 transmitted from the operation server, it is determined whether the payroll provider terminal 200, which is the actual call target, has entered the room, and accordingly, the entry time point may also be determined.

A salary provider who has entered a hospital room may provide a salary to a resident. After the salary provider provides salaries to residents, a salary provision completion signal instructing provision of salaries may be transmitted to the operation server 100 .

According to embodiments, a payroll provider may generate a payroll provision completion signal using the payroll provider terminal 200 of the payroll provider. At this time, the salary provision completion signal may be generated by the salary provider terminal 200 according to the input of the salary provider.

For example, the resident terminal 300 may detect the resident's body overturned, and when the resident's body is overturned a predetermined number of times, may generate a benefit provision completion signal instructing completion of provision of 'bedsore care' benefits.

According to embodiments, the resident terminal 300 calculates the distance to the salary provider terminal 200, and when the distance to the salary provider terminal 200 is within a predetermined distance, generates a salary provision completion signal to operate the server 100 can be sent to

The operating server 100 may receive the received payroll completion signal, and determine a third point in time indicating when the payroll completion signal is received, that is, when the payroll is completed and record it.

The operation server 100 may calculate a work evaluation score for the payroll provider of the payroll provider terminal that provided the payroll provision completion signal using the determined first to third time points.

For example, the operating server 100 may calculate a work evaluation score for the corresponding salary provision according to Equation 1 below and store it as internal management data. If the number of payrolls increases, the work evaluation scores calculated for each paycheck can be added together and used as the overall work evaluation score for the payroll provider.

In Equation 1, t1 is the first time point, t2 is the second time point, and avg (dt1) is the average value of the time interval between the second time point and the first time point, calculated for all benefit providers' benefits, avg(dt2) is the average value of the time interval between the 3rd and 2nd time points, calculated for all payroll providers' payrolls, and k is a constant greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5, representing the importance of the usual working attitude. The value is set closer to 0.5 as it is set higher than the promptness of the corresponding salary provision.

According to embodiments of the present invention, the total care management system 10 may use each of the terminals 100, 200, and 300 to comprehensively manage the provision of benefits to residents. In particular, the total nursing care management system 10 has an effect of determining and recording the action point of each subject related to the benefit as well as providing the benefit in a timely manner according to the resident's benefit plan.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , the operation server 100 may monitor the posture of the resident and use information related to the posture of the resident to determine whether it is necessary to provide pressure ulcer care benefits to the resident.

A bedsore is a condition in which a part of a body tissue necrosis when a person stays in the same position for a long time. Most residents of nursing homes have difficulties in physical activity, so they inevitably lie down in the same position for a long time. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , when lying down in a frontal posture for a long period of time, pressure may be applied to the compression site P for a long period of time, and thus pressure sores may occur in the corresponding area.

Therefore, the benefit provider of the health care institution should provide bedsore nursing benefits that change the posture of the resident at an appropriate interval so that the resident does not have pressure ulcers. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , when switching from a front posture to a side posture, since pressure is no longer applied to a previously compressed portion, the occurrence of pressure sores can be suppressed. However, depending on the situation, there are cases where residents change postures on their own, so it may be more efficient to provide pressure ulcer care benefits efficiently at an appropriate time rather than always providing pressure ulcer care benefits at the same cycle.

According to embodiments of the present invention, the operation server 100, for example, the salary provision management unit 122 calculates a pressure sore score associated with the possibility of occurrence of pressure sores in the resident based on posture information about the resident's posture, A benefit provision instruction signal instructing provision of pressure ulcer care benefits may be generated according to the pressure ulcer score.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the operation server 100 may receive posture information of the resident from the resident terminal 300 (S110). According to embodiments, the resident terminal 300 may be mounted on a part of the resident's body (eg, forearm) in order to monitor the resident's posture. For example, the resident terminal 300 includes a motion sensor capable of detecting motion, and determines the motion of the resident while being mounted on a part of the resident's body to generate and transmit posture information.

At this time, the posture information may include information about the direction or height of the resident's posture at each time.

The operation server 100 may determine the posture type, posture maintenance time, and posture non-maintenance time of the resident from the posture information (S120). According to embodiments, the operation server 100 may determine the posture type of the resident as one of a plurality of types based on the direction and height of the posture included in the posture information.

In addition, the operation server 100 may determine a posture maintenance time in which the posture is maintained and a posture non-maintenance time in which the posture is not maintained, based on the posture information. Here, 'maintaining' the posture means that the posture of the resident does not change for a certain period of time or the degree of change is within a predetermined range.

Posture holding time means the time while maintaining a specific posture. In addition, the posture non-holding time means a time from a point in time after the posture change to a point in time when the specific posture is assumed again when the posture is changed from a specific posture to another posture. Here, the different postures refer to a relationship between two postures in which the difference is out of a predetermined range. For example, if the resident takes the first posture for 5 minutes, takes the second posture for 4 minutes, and then assumes the first posture again for 3 minutes, the posture non-holding time of the first posture is 4 minutes. As another example, if the resident takes the first posture for 5 minutes, takes the second posture for 4 minutes, takes the third posture for 3 minutes, and takes the first posture again for 3 minutes, the posture non-holding time of the first posture is 4 minutes + 3 minutes, that is, 7 minutes.

The operation server 100 may calculate a pressure sore score based on the posture type, the posture maintenance time, and the posture non-hold time (S130). According to embodiments, the operation server 100 may calculate partial bedsore scores for each part of the resident's body in each posture type of the resident. Here, the partial pressure ulcer score is a score associated with the possibility of pressure ulcer occurrence in each part of the body, and it can be understood that the higher the score, the higher the possibility of pressure ulcer occurrence.

The operation server 100 may calculate a partial pressure sore score based on a posture maintenance time in each posture type for a previously designated pressure part of the resident. Furthermore, the operation server 100 may calculate a partial pressure sore score based on the posture maintenance time and posture non-maintenance time in each posture type. A more accurate partial decubitus score can be calculated if the non-postural holding time is considered.

According to embodiments, the operation server 100 may calculate a partial pressure sore score according to Equation 2 below.

Here, SBSC _i is a partial pressure ulcer score for the compression part P _i of the resident's body (i is a natural number from 1 to M, M is the total number of compression parts and is a pre-specified number), and N is the total number of posture types .

w _ij is a posture type weight for compression part P _i in posture type PS _j (where j is a natural number between 1 and N), and is a value related to the pressure that compression part P _i receives in posture type PS _j . For example, as the pressure portion P _i is subjected to high pressure in the posture type PS _j , the value of the weight w _ij may increase.

k ¹ _ij is a retention coefficient of 0 or more as a retention coefficient for the compression portion _Pi in the posture type PS _j , and T ¹ _ij is a posture retention time for the compression portion _Pi in the posture type PS _j .

Also, according to embodiments, the operation server 100 may calculate a partial pressure sore score by further considering the non-posture holding time according to Equation 3 below.

Here, k ² _ij is a constant larger than k _ij ¹ as a non-holding constant for the compression part _Pi in the posture type PS _j , T ² _ij is the posture holding time for the compression part _Pi in the posture type PS _j, , max{a,b} is a function that returns a value that is not the smaller of a and b.

The operation server 100 may output a pressure ulcer care benefit providing signal based on the pressure ulcer score (S140). According to embodiments, the operation server 100 may, based on the partial bedsore scores for each pressure part of the resident's body, instruct to provide pressure ulcer care benefits for pressure parts in which the partial pressure ulcer scores exceed the reference score. A provision signal can be generated and output.

At this time, according to embodiments, a recommended posture type in which pressure on a compression site having a partial pressure ulcer score exceeds a reference score can be relieved is determined, and information on the determined recommended posture type is output along with a pressure ulcer care benefit provision signal. can do.
