Description

Medical service method and system using Unified Messaging System {Method and System for Medical Service Using Unified Messaging System}

The present invention relates to a medical service method and system using a Unified Messaging System (UMS), and more particularly, to a user's request for medical care, a doctor's care, a prescription, a prescription medicine according to a prescription, and medical information. It provides a method and system that provides a series of medical procedures, such as provision, through online, and provides the medical information that patients need at any time.

UMS is a system that stores and manages all types of message types such as voice, fax, and e-mail in a single logical mailbox. Messages can be accessed through various communication media such as telephones, faxes, and mobile terminals as well as PCs. .

In addition, by integrating wired / wireless communication and data communication networks, users can search, compose, and exchange different types of messages such as voicemail, fax, and e-mail in one mailbox. You only need to learn.

The background of UMS has been developed based on different technologies such as voice communication technology and data communication technology. However, voice over IP (VoIP), which is a technology that can process data digitally and be treated as text information, has emerged. This is because the distinction between voice communication and data communication has become ambiguous.

This convergence trend of voice and data has led to the emergence of solutions that enable the effective management and interactive use of numerous messages in any form. In addition, the development and rapid spread of the Internet technology is changing the communication service base to the Internet.

As the market of companies, telecommunications, etc. changes rapidly, users have a desire to integrate and process various types of information that come to them. The next-generation system that satisfies the user's needs as well as the cost is the next generation. UMS is called CTI technology.

As shown in the drawing, the conventional UMS includes a communication server 500 connected to a PSTN network 620, a data communication network 610, or an Internet network 600, and a telephone 501 or a FAX 502 connected to the communication server via a LAN. And a plurality of communication terminals, such as the Internet terminal 503.

The communication server integrates and stores a voice mail, a voice call, and a FAX signal received through the PSTN network 620, the data communication network 610, or the Internet network 600, and then converts it into a desired form and transmits it. It is connected to a separate E-mail server 504 through the Internet network 600 is configured to transmit and receive E-mail.

Therefore, when a message such as voice mail, E-mail, or FAX arrives at the communication server 500 or the E-mail server 504, the communication server 500 integrates and stores the message and at the same time receives the message. The user may be notified, and the user may receive data stored in the communication server 500 using a communication terminal desired by the user, such as voice mail or E-mail 503, FAX 502, telephone 501, or the like. . Therefore, voice mail, E-mail, FAX, telephone, etc. can all be transmitted and received using only one type of communication terminal.

On the other hand, as medical division of labor is carried out in our country, there is a need for a solution to the inconveniences in the early stage of division of medical division. Unlike the prior art, the patient may visit the hospital to receive medical treatment and receive a prescription, and then may have to visit the pharmacy again and purchase the medicine according to the doctor's prescription. As a result, elderly people who are difficult to move, or outsiders will have difficulty in locating hospitals and pharmacies.

In addition, in order to enable a thorough medical division of labor, it is necessary to accurately identify the patient's medical history or health condition, and hospitals, pharmacies, and health institutions need collective management of patients through a computer system.

The present invention was devised to solve these problems, and provides the patient with health information such as health check information, common sense of medicine, etc. from time to time through a mobile communication terminal, PDA, landline phone, fax, computer, etc. It aims to provide a way for the medical institution to provide integrated management of the patient's medical history and health condition.

In addition, the patient asks the doctor about his condition through the network, and the doctor understands the patient's condition through the image of the patient transmitted through the communication network and consults the patient with reference to the past medical history. Another object is to provide a method for performing telemedicine that is issued to patients and pharmacies.

Still another object of the present invention is to allow a pharmacist to discuss alternative medicines through video communication between a doctor and a pharmacist when there are no prescription medicines of a doctor in the pharmacy, thereby preventing the pharmacist from arbitrarily performing alternative preparations. In addition, the communication between the pharmacist and the pharmacist, the doctor and the doctor is also made through the video communication, so as to exchange the information necessary for medical treatment and dispensing to make a quick and accurate medical treatment.
