Description

  The present invention relates to a nursing support system for a nurse or caregiver to record nursing or care at a hospital or a care facility.

  Traditionally, nurses and caregivers (hereinafter referred to as “nurses”) to improve the work efficiency of nurses who care for patients admitted to hospitals and caregivers who care for residents in welfare facilities. Nursing support systems that provide support for medical care workers are collectively known. As a nursing support system, a portable information terminal carried by a medical worker can access an electronic medical record system server, and various information such as patient information, nursing information, and medical information can be acquired by the portable information terminal. There are some which record various kinds of information and print various kinds of information described above. In addition, nurse call cordless handsets installed in the vicinity of patients and care recipients (hereinafter collectively referred to as patients) (for example, in the vicinity of a bed, etc.) and nurse call parent phones installed in a room with medical workers Nurse call systems are also used as nursing support systems that can be connected to each other by wire or wireless to enable mutual calls and calls.

  When these nursing support systems are introduced in hospitals and welfare facilities (hereinafter collectively referred to as hospitals), the sales company that sells the nursing support system uses the introduced nursing support system to By presenting the improvement in work efficiency as data, the merit of introducing the nursing support system can be clearly explained to the persons concerned in the hospital that has introduced the nursing support system. Further, the sales company can explain the merits of introducing the nursing support system by presenting the above-mentioned data to other hospitals. Therefore, sales can be promoted. Here, when presenting the improvement in work efficiency as data, it is effective to present as data that the time that the health care worker is near the patient (in other words, the time during which the patient is being cared for) has increased. is there.

  By the way, an IC (Integrated Circuit) card reader is installed in the terminal carried by the medical staff, and the terminal records the start time of the care by reading the IC card stored in the visiting care destination, and is engaged in the medical care at the end of the care. A technique is known in which a terminal records a care ending time when a person presses a care ending button on the terminal (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, a non-contact type IC card reader is installed at the entrance and exit of the patient's room, and the nursing start time and nursing end time are determined by reading the IC card when the medical worker carrying the IC card enters or leaves the hospital room. Techniques for recording are also known. Here, by calculating the difference between the nursing start time and the nursing end time using these known techniques, it is possible to record the time during which the medical staff is nursing the patient.

  However, it is possible to record the time of each nursing by using known materials including the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, but the time of nursing when a new device or a new function of the nursing support system is introduced. In order to investigate the change, the total time of nursing for a certain period before introduction must be compared with the total time of nursing for a certain period after introduction, and these totals must be counted one by one. was there.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and automatically presents a total change in nursing time when a new device or new function of a nursing support system is introduced by a simple operation. The purpose is to be able to.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, the nursing start time when the health care worker started nursing and the nursing end time when nursing was finished are recorded for each nursing, and new equipment and new functions are introduced. In the case of the installation, the operation to start the introduction is performed, and when the period for investigating the merit of the introduction ends, the operation to end the investigation is performed. Then, the total nursing time for each nursing obtained by the combination of the nursing start time and the nursing end time in the first period from the introduction start operation to the survey end operation is obtained. The total of the nursing time for each nursing obtained by the combination of the nursing time and the nursing end time in the second period that goes back to the period is acquired and presented.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, when a new device or new function of a nursing support system is introduced, the introduction start operation is performed, and when the merit investigation period of the introduction ends, the survey end operation is performed. The total amount of nursing time before and after introduction is automatically presented by simple operations. Thereby, the change of the total nursing time before and after introduction can be clarified. Therefore, if nursing time has increased after the introduction, the side selling the new equipment and new functions of the nursing support system should explain that the introduction of the new equipment and new functions provided the benefits. Can do.

It is a block diagram which shows the structural example of the nursing assistance system by this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of the 1st period and the 2nd period in the nursing assistance system of this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of presentation of the nursing time before and behind introduction in the nursing assistance system of this embodiment.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a nursing support system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the nursing support system according to the present embodiment includes an IC card C and a reading unit R (the IC card C and the reading unit R together correspond to the nursing detection unit in the claims). The control unit 1, the clock unit 2, the storage unit 3, the introduction start operation unit 4, the survey end operation unit 5, and the presentation unit 6 are configured. The control unit 1 includes a nursing recording unit 1a and a nursing time calculation unit 1b.

  The IC card C and the reading unit R can communicate with each other without contact. When the IC card C approaches the reading range of the reading unit R, the reading unit R supplies power to the IC card C. The IC card C that receives the power supply transmits the identification information stored therein to the reading unit R. The reading unit R receives the identification information transmitted from the IC card C. Here, the IC card C is carried by a medical worker. Further, the identification information stored in the IC card C is different for each IC card C, and is used for distinguishing medical workers carrying the IC card C. The reading unit R is installed in the vicinity of the entrance / exit of the hospital room where the patient is present, and can detect the entrance / exit of the medical staff carrying the IC card C into / from the hospital room.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the medical staff starts nursing when the medical staff enters the hospital room, and the medical staff finishes nursing when the medical staff leaves the hospital room. Further, in this embodiment, when the identification information of the IC card C is first read by the reading unit R, it is considered that the medical staff has entered the hospital room, and the same IC card C is read by the reading unit R. When the identification information is read for the second time, it is considered that the medical staff has left the room. When the reading unit R reads the identification information twice from the same IC card C, the number of times of reading is reset. Therefore, when the reading unit R reads the identification information of the same IC card C next, the reading unit R reads the identification information of the IC card C first.

  The control unit 1 is for controlling each component of the nursing support system as will be described later, and is configured by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like. The clock unit 2 measures the current time and outputs the measured current time as current time information. The storage unit 3 is configured by a storage device such as a memory or a hard disk drive, and stores nursing start time information, which is the time when nursing starts, and nursing end time information, which is the time when nursing ends, in association with each nursing. is doing. Here, when the reading unit R first reads the identification information from the IC card C, the nursing recording unit 1a of the control unit 1 acquires the current time information from the clock unit 2 and stores it as nursing start time information. Record in 3. Further, when the reading unit R reads the identification information for the second time from the same IC card C, the nursing recording unit 1a acquires the current time information from the clock unit 2 and stores it in the storage unit 3 as nursing end time information. Record.

  In this way, every time the reading unit R reads the IC card C carried by the medical staff, nursing start time information and nursing end time information are recorded in the storage unit 3 by the nursing recording unit 1a. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, nursing start time information and nursing end time information are stored in the storage unit 3 with a number (No.) for each nursing.

  The introduction start operation unit 4 is operated when a new device is introduced into the nursing support system or when a new function is introduced. Further, the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated not only when introducing new devices and new functions of the nursing support system, but also when introducing various devices for improving the work efficiency of nursing and nursing care. The introduction start operation unit 4 is composed of push buttons and the like, and is operated by a person in charge who investigates the merits of introducing a new device or a new function.

  The survey end operation unit 5 is operated by a person in charge or the like when the survey of the merit when a new device or a new function is introduced into the nursing support system is completed, and includes a push button or the like. In this embodiment, the introduction start operation unit 4 and the survey end operation unit 5 are provided separately, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the introduction start operation unit 4 and the survey end operation unit 5 are configured by the same push button, and when operated for the first time, the push button functions as the introduction start operation unit 4 and is operated for the second time. Alternatively, a push button may be caused to function as the survey end operation unit 5. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the introduction start operation part 4 and the survey end operation part 5 are comprised by the push button, it is not limited to this. For example, a push button displayed on a touch panel display or a display display may be used.

  The nursing time calculation unit 1b of the control unit 1 acquires current time information from the clock unit 2 when the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated. Further, the nursing time calculation unit 1b acquires the current time information from the clock unit 2 when the survey end operation unit 5 is operated. Then, the nursing time calculation unit 1b refers to the storage unit 3 with a period from when the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated to when the survey end operation unit 5 is operated as a first period, and corresponds to the first period. The nursing start time information and nursing end time information to be extracted are extracted. The nursing time calculation unit 1b calculates the nursing time in the nursing by subtracting the nursing start time information from the extracted nursing end time information. Here, the nursing time calculation unit 1b performs calculation for all the extracted nursing cares, adds the nursing time, and calculates the total nursing time in the first period.

  In addition, the nursing time calculation unit 1b refers to the storage unit 3 as a second period that is a period that is back from the time point when the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated, and starts nursing corresponding to the second period. Extract time information and nursing end time information. The nursing time calculation unit 1b calculates the nursing time in the nursing by subtracting the nursing start time information from the extracted nursing end time information. Here, the nursing time calculation unit 1b calculates all the extracted nursing cares, adds the nursing time, and calculates the total nursing time in the second period.

  For example, as shown in FIG. No. 098 after the completion of nursing. It is assumed that the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated at 7:00 on April 5, 2009 until 099 nursing is started. No. No. 220 after the completion of nursing. It is assumed that the survey end operation unit 5 is operated at 7 o'clock on April 9, 2009 until 221 nursing starts. Then, the nursing time calculation unit 1b sets four days from April 5, 2009, 7:00 to April 9, 2009, 7:00 as the first period. Then, the nursing time calculation unit 1b specifies 7:00 on April 1, 2009, which is back from the 7:00 on April 5, 2009, by the first period, and then 4 from April 5 to 7:00 on April 5, 2009. The day is the second period.

  Then, the total nursing time corresponding to the first period and the total nursing time corresponding to the second period are calculated. As a result, for example, the result that the total nursing time in the first period is 120 hours and 58 minutes is obtained, and the result that the total nursing time in the second period is 86 hours and 25 minutes is obtained. Shall be. Here, the nursing time calculation unit 1b may perform the calculation described above when the survey end operation unit 5 is operated, or may perform the calculation described above when a calculation start button (not shown) is operated. good.

  The presentation unit 6 is configured by a display or the like, and displays the result of the nursing time calculation unit 1b so that the total nursing time in the first period can be compared with the total nursing time in the second period. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of presenting nursing time before and after introduction in the nursing support system of the present embodiment. According to the figure, the control unit 1 adds a new device and a new nursing care system to the nursing support system (total time: 86 hours 25 minutes) before introducing a new device or new function. The total nursing time after the introduction of the function (120 hours 58 minutes, which is the first period) is displayed side by side on the presentation unit 6. In the same figure, the total nursing time for each day is also displayed as a bar graph. Here, the timing at which the control unit 1 presents the total nursing time before and after the introduction of a new device or new function to the nursing support system to the presentation unit 6 may be the time when the calculation result by the nursing time calculation unit 1b is obtained. It may also be a point in time when a presentation button (not shown) is operated.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the nursing start time when the health care worker started nursing and the nursing end time when the nursing was finished using the nursing detection unit (IC card C and reading unit R). Record and operate the introduction start operation unit 4 when a new device or a new function is introduced into the nursing support system, and the survey end operation unit 5 when the investigation of the merit of introducing a new device or a new function is finished. I try to operate it. Then, the nursing time calculation unit 1b acquires the current time information from the clock unit 2 when the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated and when the survey end operation unit 5 is operated, and the introduction is performed based on the acquired current time information. The period from when the start operation unit 4 is operated to when the survey end operation unit 5 is operated is determined as the first period. In addition, the nursing time calculation unit 1b refers to the storage unit 3 and extracts the nursing corresponding to the first period (a set of nursing start time and nursing end time) and calculates the total nursing time. Arithmetic. In addition, the nursing time calculation unit 1b corresponds to the second period with reference to the storage unit 3 as a second period that is a period that is back by the first period from the time when the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated. Nursing is extracted and the total nursing time is calculated. Then, the control unit 1 presents the total nursing time in the first period and the total nursing time in the second period obtained by the nursing time calculation unit 1b to the presentation unit 6.

  As a result, the introduction start operation unit 4 is operated when a new device or a new function of the nursing support system is introduced, and the survey end operation unit 5 is operated when the investigation period ends. The nursing time before and after is automatically presented. As a result, when nursing time has increased after the introduction, the side selling the new equipment and new functions of the nursing support system will explain the benefits of the introduction of new equipment and new functions. be able to. Moreover, the side which introduced the new apparatus and new function of the nursing support system can grasp that the new apparatus and the new function were effective in improving work efficiency.

  In the embodiment described above, the nursing card is realized by combining the IC card C and the reading unit R as a nursing detection unit, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the nursing start time may be acquired by pressing an entry button when a medical worker enters the room, and the nursing end time may be acquired by pressing the exit button when the medical worker leaves the room. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the IC card C is carried by the medical staff and the reading unit R is installed in the hospital room. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the reading unit R may be carried by a medical worker and the IC card C may be installed in a hospital room.

  In the above-described embodiment, the control unit 1 displays the total nursing time on the presentation unit 6 to explain the merit of introducing a new device or new function of the nursing support system. It is not limited. For example, when the total nursing time in the first period is larger than the total nursing time in the second period, it may be simply indicated that there is a merit of introduction.

  In the above-described embodiment, only the nursing start time and the nursing end time are associated and recorded in the storage unit 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, information such as patient information, nursing contents, and information on medical staff in charge may be stored in association with each other.

  In addition, the said embodiment is only what showed the example in implementation in implementing this invention, and, as a result, the technical scope of this invention should not be interpreted limitedly. In other words, the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit or main features thereof.
