Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hospital reservation method and a hospital reservation method,

In the present invention, when a user makes a medical appointment reservation at a nearby hospital in a month pad installed in a home, a departure notification and confirmation function for outputting an alarm and requesting a visit confirmation at a starting point in a month pad, To a hospital-based hospital reservation method.

Generally, in order to receive medical care, patients visiting a medical facility such as a hospital generally need to directly receive the information at the reception counter. However, if the number of patients is large, the visiting patient should wait for a long time to receive medical care. As such, the complaints about the quality of medical services of patients are increasing due to the short time taken to receive a medical examination or examination compared to a short time of medical examination or inspection.

Of course, you may make a reservation by phone or internet before you visit. In addition, techniques for providing a list of hospitals or clinic specialists through a network, a reservation status, a medical timetable, and performing a medical appointment have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

However, if the patient visits the hospital in advance according to the reservation time after reserving the medical care through the telephone or the Internet in advance, the patient should wait for some time until the receipt of his / her own is received at the medical institution.

Therefore, techniques for reducing waiting time in a hospital have been proposed [Patent Literatures 3 and 4]. That is, the above-described prior art grasps the waiting staff information for each space in the hospital, guides the staff according to the situation of the waiting staff, and minimizes waiting time by arranging the patient in the examination room or the examination room at the right time. In addition, waiting time is reduced in consideration of complicated medical care circulation in hospital.

However, most of the above-mentioned prior art techniques for reducing standby time can be applied to large hospitals such as tertiary hospitals, and it is difficult to apply them to small-sized medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics that are operated by local communities such as primary hospitals.

In addition, although the above-described reservation reception technology may be convenient for a patient, there are cases in which a patient who has been reserved is not displayed even after the waiting time is over, so that a patient often suffers from a difficulty in a medical institution.

Therefore, it can be applied in the local community, but it is necessary to have a technique to reduce the number of cases in which reservations are canceled without reservations after making reservations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the description of the present invention, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

First, a configuration of an overall system for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

1, the overall system for implementing the present invention includes a month pad 10 installed in a user's home, a reservation client 30 installed in a month pad 10 to provide a hospital reservation service, A hospital terminal 40 to be installed, and a reservation server 50 for providing a hospital reservation service. The moon pad 10, the hospital terminal 40, and the reservation server 50 are connected through a network 80 such as the Internet to perform data communication.

First, the moon pad 10 is a terminal installed in a home where a user lives, and is a terminal for controlling home IoT devices in each household in a home network system.

The home network system can control lighting, heating, household appliances, etc. through a single network through the wall pad 10, or can provide a communication service within the management room such as video call, visitor image confirmation or call, Fire, and gas leakage, and provides emergency call service when necessary. In addition, a public facility such as a CCTV, an elevator, a parking control unit, an unmanned courier, etc. installed in the complex can be monitored to provide a common service for checking and controlling at any time through the monthly pad 10.

Next, the reservation client 30 is a program system that provides a reservation service for hospital care near the home, and is a program system that is built in some functions or installed in the month pad 10 in the month pad 10. In particular, the reservation client 30 provides a hospital reservation service in cooperation with the reservation server 50. [

The reservation client 30 guides the list of the hospitals around the home, guides the available time for the selected hospital, receives the reservation time of the hospital selected by the user, and guides the reservation result.

The reservation client 30 estimates the travel time from the home to the hospital, estimates the serviceable time after the reservation time, predicts the departure time at which the serviceable time can be arrived, and notifies the predicted departure time with an alarm . And I will confirm the hospital appointment.

On the other hand, the reservation client 30 receives the hospital list, the information about the hospital, the reservation information of the hospital, the reservation result or the like through the reservation server 50, or transmits the reservation request data, (50).

Next, the hospital terminal 40 is a computer terminal installed in the hospital, and handles the reception of the examination and the examination reservation.

That is, the hospital terminal 40 receives the medical care acceptance information and the medical care reservation information, and records the medical care acceptance data and the reservation data for each medical care provider. And transmits the data when there is a request for medical treatment or reservation data. At this time, data corresponding to the personal information such as the patient's name is limited and transmitted.

In addition, the hospital terminal 40 estimates the treatment time (or possible treatment time) for each patient from the treatment reservation or reception data. At this time, the available time is estimated for all patients who are scheduled or received. In other words, the average time required for medical treatment and the like can be accumulated to estimate the treatment time of each patient. That is, it is possible to accumulate the time required for each treatment of the patients who need to be treated ahead of the patient, and add the accumulated time accumulated at the current time, thereby estimating the treatment time (or the serviceable time) of the patient.

In this case, when estimating the time required for each patient's treatment, and when the contents of a specific medical treatment such as a medical examination are known, the average time taken for the medical treatment can be estimated as the time required for the medical treatment of the patient.

Each presumed clinically available time is updated each time the patient's care is completed. That is, the actual treatment time of a patient whose treatment is currently completed may be different from the previously estimated treatment time. Therefore, when the patient's treatment is completed, the patient's available time is renewed each time. In addition, when the appointment or acceptance is canceled, the allowable time for the patient (the subordinate patient of the patient) to be treated after the patient is renewed.

In addition, the hospital terminal 40 can transmit the data of the available time of the patient in response to the request.

In addition, the hospital terminal 40 can output or transmit the appointment availability time upon request. Preferably, the time after the last reception or reservation available time of the reservation patient is set as the reservationable time.

Next, the reservation server 50 is a server that provides a reservation service for the hospital. Preferably, the reservation server 50 may be implemented in a home network server or as an independent server.

In particular, the reservation server 50 provides a reservation service for a medical institution such as a hospital in a local community near the home. For this purpose, the hospital terminals 40 in the local community are networked and registered in advance with the hospital terminals 40. And performs data communication with the hospital terminal 40.

In addition, the reservation server 50 receives from the hospital terminal 40 the time for which the treatment can be reserved or the time when the patient can be treated. Preferably, when the reservation server 50 requests the allowable time of the specific patient, the hospital terminal 40 transmits the consultable time of the patient. Alternatively, when the reservation server 50 transmits the list of patients at the available time, the hospital terminal 40 transmits the serviceable time for the patients in the list, and can transmit the updated data each time it is updated .

In addition, the reservation server 50 transmits the reservable time of hospitals to the reservation client 30 and receives the hospital reservation request (data) of the user (or patient). Then, the received hospital reservation request may be transmitted to the hospital terminal 40 to close the medical reservation of the user. In other words, when the reservation acceptance is confirmed from the hospital terminal 40, the contents of the reservation acceptance are transmitted to the reservation client 30.

In addition, the reservation server 50 sets the travel time from the home where the reservation client 30 is installed to the hospital in advance. At this time, the reservation server 50 can estimate the movement time. That is, the reservation server 50 may accumulate past movement time data and estimate the movement time using a movement time (estimated or set movement time) of a user of a neighboring home.

For example, in the case of a neighboring home directly in a building such as an apartment building, the travel time will be almost the same. Also, in the case of the groove located on the 10th floor and the groove located on the 1st floor in the same building, the difference in the moving time may be the time when the elevator moves the 10th floor. In this way, if the paths from the two grooves to the respective hospitals are overlapped, the difference in the travel time between the two grooves may be the difference in travel time from the two grooves to the hospital. Therefore, the travel time of the groove can be estimated by using the travel time of another groove where paths traveling to the hospital overlap.

In addition, the reservation server 50 may estimate the departure time (or departure time) of the user in consideration of the estimated travel time, and may transmit the estimate to the reservation client 30.

In addition, the reservation server 50 receives the reservation confirmation information confirmed at the starting point of the user and transmits the reservation confirmation information to the hospital terminal 40. Or if the reservation confirmation is not made, the reservation unconfirmed information is transmitted to the hospital terminal 40.

Although the functions of the reservation client 30 and the reservation server 50 have been described above, they may be implemented according to a method of configuring a normal client and a server. That is, the functions of the entire system can be shared according to the performance of the client, the server and the traffic volume. For example, in one embodiment, the reservation client 30 estimates the travel distance, estimates the departure time, informs the user of the departure time, performs all the tasks for receiving the reservation confirmation, It is only necessary to record such data and relay the data such as reservation confirmation to the hospital terminal 40. Alternatively, the reservation server 50 estimates the travel distance, estimates the departure time, informs the user of the departure time, performs all the operations for receiving the reservation confirmation, and the reservation client 30 sends only the information And only through the pad 10 and receiving data from the user. As another embodiment, the reservation server 50 and the reservation client 30 can share the above-mentioned tasks. Hereinafter, the reservation system will be described, but it can be implemented in various forms according to the configuration method of the server-client.

Next, a monthly pad-based hospital reservation method having a departure notification and confirmation function according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The hospital reservation method based on the monthly pad is a method performed by the hospital reservation system. The hospital reservation system is a client-server system of the reservation client 30 and the reservation server 50 described above. The function of each component to be described below may be configured by the client or the server in accordance with the concrete implementation technique of the client-server.

2, the method of the present invention includes the steps of (a) guiding hospital reservation information (S10), (b) accepting a hospital reservation (S20), (c) A step S30 of estimating a travel time up to a start time of the user, (d) estimating a serviceable time of the user at step S40, (e) determining whether a departure time arrives, (f50) (Step S60) of informing the departure of the arrival of an alarm and confirming the reservation.

First, the hospital information and the hospital reservation information are collected, and the information is outputted through the screen of the month pad 10 and displayed (S10).

That is, the hospital reservation system guides the list of hospitals around the home and guides the available time for the selected hospital. To do this, the hospital terminal 40 of the hospital in the local community is registered, and the hospital information (for example, the name of the hospital, the medical examination course, medical staff information, location, etc.) is collected from the hospital terminal 40.

Further, the hospital terminal 40 receives and guides the treatment reservation available time of each medical staff (or physician) at each hospital or each hospital. Preferably, the time after the last reception or the available time of the reserved patient can be set as the reservationable time.

Next, the hospital reservation is accepted through the month pad 10 (S20).

That is, the hospital reservation system receives the hospital reservation through the month pad 10, and transmits the reception contents to the hospital terminal 40 of the hospital to request confirmation of the reservation reception. When the reservation acceptance confirmation is received from the hospital terminal 40, the acceptance confirmation result is output to the screen through the month pad 10.

Preferably, the hospital reservation system registers the personal information of the user of the home in advance and sends the personal information of the user or identification information (name and date of birth) of the user to the hospital terminal 40 together with the reservation acceptance request do. As another embodiment, the identification information of the user can be directly input and transmitted without recording it in advance.

Next, the travel time from the home to the hospital is estimated (S30).

That is, the reservation system sets the travel time from the user's home to the hospital in advance. At this time, the movement time can be estimated.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, (a1) it is judged whether or not the user's past visit record exists (S31), (b) if there is a past travel time, (S32). (C) If it does not exist, the moving time of the user is estimated from the moving time of the groove closest to the user's home (S33).

The user confirms the reservation through the month pad 10 at the departure time (referring to the departure time, hereinafter referred to as the time when the home departure for hospital treatment) or the departure time. When the user arrives at the hospital, he / Therefore, the moving time can be calculated from the difference between the departure time at home and the reception time after arrival at the hospital. The time of requesting the reception of the medical care is received from the hospital terminal 40.

If there is a history that the user has visited the same hospital in the past, the travel time record of the hospital can be extracted from the history. By applying the statistical method to these past travel times, the travel time of the user can be estimated. For example, when the number of past visits is one or more, a moving time from the user's home to the hospital can be estimated by calculating statistical values such as an average value of a plurality of visits.

Further, when the movement time can not be estimated from the past user data, the movement time of the user can be estimated from the movement distance in the neighboring groove of the user.

Preferably, the movement time of the user is estimated from the movement time of the groove closest to the user's groove (hereinafter called the nearest groove) among the grooves capable of estimating the movement time. At this time, the moving time of the user is estimated by reflecting the ratio of the distance between the nearest home and the home of the user to the hospital to the moving time of the nearest home.

That is, the movement time t of the user is estimated by the following equation.

[Equation 1]

Where t _N is the travel time of the nearest groove, d is the distance from the user home to the hospital, and d _N is the distance from the nearest home to the hospital.

At this time, preferably, the travel distance from the groove to the hospital can be calculated by considering the height of the floor in the building such as the elevator or the stairs.

Next, the user's serviceable time is estimated (S40).

As shown in FIG. 4, the serviceable time of the user is estimated (S41), and it is determined whether the serviceable time is earlier than the service reservation time (S42), and the serviceable time is set as the service reservation time as soon as possible (S43).

That is, the reservation system requests the clinic terminal 40 for the clinic-possible time of the user, and receives the clinic-possible time of the user. The available time refers to the time (or time) for the scheduled user to be consulted at the hospital for a certain period of time due to the reservation.

Even if the user is reserved at a certain time, if the number of patients waiting in the hospital or the delayed time of the visit is low, the user may actually be delayed in the actual expected time. The estimated time taken to reflect this situation will be referred to as the user's serviceable time.

Preferably, as described above, the hospital terminal 40 estimates the treatment time (or the serviceable time) for each patient from the treatment reservation or reception data. At this time, the available time is estimated for all patients who are scheduled or received. In other words, the average time required for medical treatment and the like can be accumulated to estimate the treatment time of each patient. That is, it is possible to accumulate the time required for each treatment of the patients who need to be treated ahead of the patient, and add the accumulated time accumulated at the current time, thereby estimating the treatment time (or the serviceable time) of the patient.

Preferably, when estimating the time required for the treatment of each patient, when the contents of a specific medical treatment such as a medical diagnosis are grasped, the average time required for the treatment can be estimated as the time required for the treatment of the patient.

On the other hand, when estimating the serviceable time of each patient, the hospital terminal 40 regards that the reservation is canceled for the patient who is received as an unconfirmed reservation, and excludes it. An unconfirmed appointment refers to a state in which the patient does not confirm departure even though the home is at the departure time. Whether or not the departure time is confirmed is confirmed in step S60 through the monthly pad.

Each presumed clinically available time is updated each time the patient's care is completed. That is, the actual treatment time of a patient whose treatment is currently completed may be different from the previously estimated treatment time. Therefore, when the patient's treatment is completed, the patient's available time is renewed each time. In addition, when the appointment or acceptance is canceled, the allowable time for the patient (the subordinate patient of the patient) to be treated after the patient is renewed.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the estimated serviceable time is shorter than the scheduled time, the serviceable time is set as the scheduled time.

Next, in order to arrive at the hospital immediately before the clinicable time, it is determined whether the departure time for departing from the home has arrived (S50).

That is, the reservation system calculates the departure time (or departure time) of the user who departs from the home using the travel time in the estimated home and the available time of the user, and determines whether the departure time has arrived. If the current time is the departure time or after the departure time, it is determined that the departure time has arrived.

The departure time is obtained by subtracting the travel time from the user ' s serviceable time. Preferably, the error time is additionally subtracted to obtain the final departure time.

That is, the final start time T is calculated by the following equation.

&Quot; (2) "

Here, T _e represents the user's serviceable time, t represents the estimated travel time, and α represents the error time.

For example, if the serviceable time is 5 o'clock, the movement time is 10 minutes, and the error is set to 5 minutes, the departure time is 4:45 at 5 o'clock and the travel time and error are added or subtracted.

5:00 - (10 minutes + 5 minutes) = 4:45

Next, the user is informed of the departure via the month pad 10 and receives a reservation confirmation confirming the visit to the hospital (S60).

That is, the reservation system notifies the departure time through the month pad 10 when the departure time arrives. At this time, it can be informed in the form of an alarm or can be guided through a message such as voice.

Then, the reservation system informs that the screen or voice of the month pad 10 should start now to visit the hospital by reservation.

At this time, the reservation system transmits the reservation confirmation contents to the hospital terminal 40.

If the departure time does not come, the process is repeated from the step S40 of estimating the serviceable time again.

In addition, if the reservation confirmation is not received or the cancellation is inputted, the reservation system transmits to the hospital terminal 40 that the reservation has not been confirmed.

On the other hand, when estimating the serviceable time of each patient, the hospital terminal 40 regards that the reservation is canceled for the patient who is received as an unconfirmed reservation, and excludes it.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
