Description
A life-saving information system
The invention relates to an information system, part of which is a life card containing the person's personal, and some health data needed in medical emergency.
Aim of the invention
A card justifying a person to use the health care services is well known and generally spread. It contains the personal data of the person justified to the health care and those of the health care insurance, and the code number of the person (TAJ-number). This card does not provide information about the health status of the patient, his/her health data, on constraints restricting his/her treatment, the missing of which data may be fatal in a case of first aid.
For example, if a person injured in an accident needs transfusion, his/her blood group should be known. Until his/her blood group is determined in a medical institution, the patient could bleed to death before he/she could obtain the appropriate blood. In case of an injured of a rare blood group it may occur that the institution he/she is admitted to does not have the corresponding blood, and this may cause a fatal delay in the treatment of the patient.
Background of the invention
There are some cards of medical institutions containing the main health data of the person, which justify the patient to claim its services. On the basis of the identification number of this card, the detailed data of the patient can be called down from a database. Such is, e.g. the life card of CorVel Healthcard (www.corcel-health.com> which ensures accessibility to the data only inside
the system, i.e. they are not available for a doctor or institute an accident patient.
It was decided already in 1981 by the European Union to provide a card system (see www.bc.edu/bc org/avp/law/wsch/joumals/bciclr/24 1/06 TXT.htm), with which medical services can be made available in all countries of the Union. However, due to different reasons, this system is not functioning till now, but in the meantime, its necessary content has been elaborated. The basis of the system is a life card containing besides administrative data, also health information about the patient needed by the doctor. At present, the inhabitants of the Union, if they suffer an accident in another country, can get medical care only too late, after the necessary tests have been carried out, due to the lack of blood group and other data, which, in some cases, can lead to the death of the patient. In addition to the blood group, other characteristics of the patient should also be known, e.g. to which compounds is he/she allergic, which illnesses he/she has, etc.
According to the plan, the life card is part of an information system and a data base, the essential elements of which system are: the life card of the patient containing data to be taken into account in case of a medical emergency, it contains also a series of internationally harmonized administrative data, and a medical card by means of which the detailed data of the patient obtained at earlier medical examinations can be called down from a distant, detailed data bank via a data transmitting network. Both the life card and the medical card are so-called „smart" electronic cards.
The electronic solution suitable for the preparation and treatment of the electronic medical cards is disclosed in the US 4,007,355 patent application, which is in the first line a network for direct payment by the card (electronic purse), but it is also suitable for another purposes.
In addition to the deficiencies mentioned above, it is also a p emergency, such as an accident, it is not known whether the patient has or not has a life card containing his/her data needed in the health care service. Since such cards are not yet widely spread, the doctor providing the service does not look for such a card, but treats the patient as if such data were not available.
The aim of this invention is to eliminate the above problems, to provide a life-saving system based on the life card making the finding of earlier medical data of the patient being in a state not capable of communication and his/her unambiguous identification possible .
The solution of the task according to the invention is a life-saving information system, part of which is a life card containing the personal and health data of a person useful in emergency services, which card also contains a photo of the patient, and also part of the system is/are one or more indicator(s) proving the presence of a life card on a site well seen or easily found.
This indicator is preferably a stick-on label.
The indicator is preferably a heart-shaped label with a text of S:0:S.LLFE CARD having an adhesive layer at its back or front side.
The life card preferably contains the blood group, the RH- factor, the TAJ- number, a transplantation declaration, eventual chronic illnesses and data restricting the treatability of the patient.
The life card preferably also contains free or filled in headings for other remarks.
The life card preferably also contains the data of the person to be notified in case of an accident.
The life card preferably also contains data making the findin data in a data bank possible.
Preferably, the data bank of detailed health data is also part of the information system, and a 24-hour information service suitable for making connection via telephone or other data transmitting network, and for transmitting the detailed data as a fax or in any another form.
The life card is preferably an electronically readable magnet band and/or chip card.
The headings of the life card are preferably filled in in two languages, in English and in the mother tongue of the patient.
The solution of the task according to the invention is a life information system part of which is a medical card containing the personal and medical data of a person useful in emergency which card contains the photo of the person, and another part of the system are one or more indicator(s) per card, situated at a well visible or easily found place, a data bank containing the detailed health data of the person as its part, as well as a 24 hour information system suitable for transmitting the data in the data bank via a fax or another data transmission system.
The essence of the invention is described on the basis of the drawings of the embodiment.
Short description of the drawings
Figure 1 shows the headings of the life card.
Figure 2 is the picture of the indicator.
Figure 3 is the block scheme of the life-saving information system.
Description of the invention
Figure 1 illustrates the life card used in the life-saving information system according to the invention, as an example. The card is filled in in two languages, in English and in the mother tongue of the proprietor of the card. The headings of the card are the following: photo, name, address, mother's name, birth data, sex, health care identification (TAJ-number), detailed health data (telephone-, fax-, E-mail address of the data bank containing the data of earlier examinations and treatments), declaration for allowing the calling down of detailed data, transplantation declaration, date of issuing the card, medical data, such as blood group, blood pressure, infarct risk, pacemaker, diabetes, allergy, haemophilia, porphilia, epilepsy, asthma, blood clotting, contact lens, protheses, contraceptive, medicine allergy, etc. The knowledge of medicine allergy is very important e.g. in case if an analgetic injection should be administered to the injured, because the allergene effect of some analgetics may deteriorate the state of the patient, it may even cause death. The life card preferably contains also data making the finding of the health data of the person in a data bank possible.
Based on the photo on the life card, the ambulance doctor identifies the patient or the injured, may call the data bank and ask them to send the detailed data of the injured by fax or in another way to the institution to which the patient will be admitted, in order to make the anamnesis of the patient known before he/she arrives. By knowing e.g. the blood group of the patient from the life card, it is possible to transfer the patient to an institution where this type of blood is available. Thus it may be avoided that the patient would be taken from institution to institution, and the appropriate blood can be available immediately at the arrival of the patient shortening thereby the time passing until the medical intervention.
In addition to visible and readable information, the life card i information readable from a magnet band or an electronic chip, which might also be part of the life card.
The electronically readable information is preferably identical with that written on the surface of the card, but may contain further information as well. E.g. it may contain the data of the medical insurance company needed for settling the costs, or the medical institutions belonging to the given insurance network in which the patient is entitled to medical treatment.
Moreover, the life-saving medical card may be combined with other functions, e.g. it may have the function of an electronic purse or bank card, if the issuing authorities agree on this.
The life-saving medical card is always on the person, and besides, he/she might stick a copy of the life card on his/her car, on his/her case of the identity card, or on any other place where it can be found also without his/her help. More copies can be made of the life-saving medical card, which can be placed to dangerous places or at places where the person often resides.
Search for and finding of the life-saving medical card is assisted by the indicator shown in Fig.2. The indicator is an adhesive label, preferably a heart-shaped one with a text of S.O.S. LIFE CARD on it, and having an adhesive layer on its back or front side. It can be stuck e.g. onto the windscreen of the car, thus the doctor arriving at the accident site can immediately see that it is worth looking for a life card.
The emitter of the life-saving medical card preferably informs the doctors in a circular or by advertising at the national or international level about the existence and form of such labels, so that if they saw such a label, they should look for a life card!
A preferred embodiment of the life-saving information syst© Fig. 3. The system consists of the following units:
Medical examination 1 providing the health data of the person. The detailed data of such a medical examination is stored in a central data bank 2 in form of a final hospital bulletin.
Further part of the system is an indicator 3 calling the attention of the medical person taking part in the rescue action to the presence of a life card on the person. This indicator 3 is to be seen on the windscreen or sunshade of the patient's car, or in its identity card which can be found immediately at the site of the accident.
Also part of the system is the life-saving medical card 4 to be found on the patient. It can be found on the person, and besides, he/she might stick a copy of the life card on his/her car, on his/her case of the identity card, or on any other place where it can be found without his/her help.
A further part of the system is a 24-hour information service 5, from which the detailed medical data of the patient can be called down, if they are needed. The data are passed on to the medical institution 6 where the patient will be admitted.
The life card also contains the transplantation declaration of the injured person, according to which the person allows or does not allow the transplantation of his/her organs if he/she dies. This provides a quick decision possibility about the use of the patient's organs, making thus possible to save organs that would be otherwise lost for the society.
