JP7315197B2 - Call system that can be linked with nursing care software - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to data linkage between a calling system and nursing software used in nursing facilities for the elderly.

Nursing facilities for the elderly often use a call system so as to respond to calls from care recipients (residents). The call system allows the care recipient to contact the caregiver by operating a calling device installed in the care recipient's room and by the operation of various sensors, and the caregiver who receives the call goes to the care recipient and performs the necessary work.

Such a call system is equipped with a PC for management, and may have a function of storing a history of the care recipient's name, room number, call date and time, the name of the corresponding caregiver, and the work performed.

In addition to the call system described above, some nursing homes for the elderly have introduced tallying software (hereafter referred to as nursing care software) to streamline management tasks such as creating nursing care diaries, nursing care plans, and billing. Similar to the history saving function of the call system, the nursing care software also saves the name and room number of the resident, as well as the health condition and care work record, etc., and automatically creates a diary, care plan, bill, etc. by summarizing this information.

In nursing care software, records of nursing care work performed by caregivers are important information, and in many cases, such information is manually input, which is a heavy burden for facility managers. In view of this situation, nursing care software has been devised in recent years that automatically reads and aggregates the history stored by the calling system.

For example, in the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-333361, which is described below as a prior art document, files are transferred between an ordering system (equivalent to nursing care software) and a nurse call master device (equivalent to a call system) via a network, so that information stored by both can be used.

The information shared between the nursing care software and the calling system includes, for example, the name of the care receiver who called, the room number, the date and time of the call, the name of the caregiver who responded, the details of the work performed, and the date and time when the response was completed.

The calling system automatically stores the number of the calling device operated by the care receiver, the date and time of operation, the name of the care receiver and the room number associated with the calling device number, etc. in a history file. Furthermore, in a system equipped with an information terminal device carried by a caregiver, this call is called, and when the caregiver responds to this call with the information terminal device, the information of the corresponding caregiver and the date and time of the response are automatically saved as a history file.

In the call system, various methods have been devised for inputting the corresponding work content, but one example is to display multiple work content on the screen of the information terminal device held by the caregiver and tap the corresponding work content to select it. Since the selection of the work content can be narrowed down from the hierarchically displayed items, the desired work content can be selected from a large number of work content candidates with a simple operation.

When the care software reads out the history of the calling system in which work contents are input from the information terminal device carried by the caregiver as described above and uses it for totalization, it is desirable that the options displayed on the selection screen of the information terminal device match the items used by the care software for totalization. If the same provider provides a call system and care software that have a linking function, it is easy to match the above options with the tabulation items.

JP-A-2005-333361

However, users of call systems and care software install call systems and care software that match the scale and purpose of use of each facility, so in many cases the companies that provide call systems and care software are different. Moreover, it is disadvantageous for the user that the range of options for introducing the system is limited by having the cooperation function.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and aims to provide a calling system that facilitates cooperation with various nursing care software by reflecting the total items required by the nursing care software in the display and selection items at the time of work content input operation on the information terminal device of the calling system.

As a means for solving the above problems, the present inventionA first data processing device for storing the care work record in a history file when receiving a call signal transmitted from a call device placed in the living room of the care recipient, transmitting the device number of the call device to an information terminal device used by the caregiver, and storing the care work record in a history file when receiving the care work record transmitted from the information terminal device; The first data processing device acquires the care work list output from the second data processing device, and causes the information terminal device to display an input screen using the care work items listed in the acquired care work list as selection items. A care work record is transmitted to the second data processing device, and the second data processing device uses the care work record transmitted from the first data processing device for the aggregation.characterized byRushistemprovidedo.

In the system of the present invention, the first data processing device may cause the information terminal device to display the input screen using the care work items expressed in a hierarchical structure as selection items .

Further, in the system of the present invention , the first data processing device may cause the information terminal device to display the input screen including items for inputting arbitrary character information.

The present invention can provide a call system capable of inputting contents required for tallying by nursing care software by a simple operation of an information terminal device and transferring the history of nursing care work to nursing care software without restricting nursing care software that can be linked.

Example of cooperation between call system and care software according to the present invention Flow of cooperation information according to the present invention Display example of information terminal device Description example of care work list

The cooperative operation of the call system and care software according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the invention. Call system 1 and care software 2 are in a state of being able to communicate with each other via local area network 3 .

The management PC 1-3 of the call system 1 reads the care work list 2-2 in addition to the resident list 2-3 and staff list 2-4 held by the care software PC 2-1 of the care software 2. FIG. The information terminal device 1-6 receives this information from the management PC 1-3 and reflects it in display items and selection items when inputting nursing care work.

In the care work list 2-2, care work items that the care software 2 needs to aggregate are described. In the list of residents 2-3, names, room numbers, etc. of care recipients are described. The staff list 2-4 includes the names of caregivers and facility staff.

By reading these by the information terminal device 1-6, in addition to the name and room number of the resident displayed when inputting the care work record on the information terminal device 1-6, and the name of the corresponding caregiver, it is possible to match the care work items that can be selected with the notation used in the care software 2, and further save the care work record in the history file 1-4 of the management PC 1-3 with that notation.

Care work records input by the information terminal device 1-6 are stored in the history file 1-4 of the management PC 1-3, and are also periodically transferred to the care software PC 2-1. Since the information stored in the history file 1-4 matches the items required for tabulation by the nursing care software 2, the nursing software 2 can tabulate the information to create diaries, nursing care plans, bills, and the like.

Next, a method for reflecting the information of the care work list 2-2 in the care work record items of the information terminal device 1-8 will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of a screen for inputting care work records on the information terminal device 1-8. Although the input operation is not limited to the hierarchical structure, the hierarchical structure is taken as an example here for easy understanding.

In the input operation, the desired item can be input by selecting the items displayed on the screen in the order of category, major item, minor item 1, and minor item 2. For example, when physical care→meal→meal amount is selected, a list showing meal amounts such as complete meal, 9/10, 8/10, . . . 1/10 is displayed.

The care work record input screen of the information terminal device 1-8 as shown in FIG. 3 is determined by the description of the care work list 2-2. FIG. 4 is a description example of the care work list 2-2 for creating the input screen of FIG. In this description example, one record item is described in the order of category, major item, minor item 1, and minor item 2 in one line. Although up to 2 sub-items are described in this description example, the number of items is arbitrary.

Since the item names described here are used as they are for display on the information terminal device 1-8 and for recording in the history file 1-4, the care software 2 describes the items necessary for tallying in accordance with this description method, and if a care work list 2-2 is created, cooperation with the call system 1 of the present invention becomes possible.

As shown in FIG. 4, control characters such as &P, &S and &M can be used in the description of the care work list 2-2. This allows you to set up a graphical user interface suitable for each input item. In this example, a picker (&P) is used to enter the body temperature, and a spinner (&S) is used to enter the meal amount. Manual (&M) in the consultation input displays an input frame in which arbitrary characters can be input. Also, the description method of the care work list 2-2 may include icons in addition to characters.

Next, the operation of the calling system 1 will be described in detail. A plurality of calling devices 1-1 operated by a cared person are in a state of being able to communicate wirelessly with a wireless master device 1-2, and the wireless master device 1-2 is in a state of being able to communicate with a management PC 1-3, which is an information management device, via a local area network 3.

Furthermore, the management PC 1-3 is in a state of being able to communicate with information terminal devices 1-6 owned by a plurality of caregivers who are wirelessly connected to the local area network 3. FIG. Examples of the information terminal device 1-6 include smart phones, tablets, and notebook computers. In this embodiment, the wireless connection method is via the WiFi access point 1-5, but it is not limited to this method.

When the cared person operates the calling device 1-1, a calling signal is transmitted to the management PC 1-3 via the wireless master device 1-2. The management PC 1-3 transmits the device number of the operated calling device 1-1 to the information terminal device 1-6. The caregiver performs a corresponding operation on the information terminal device 1-6 that received the call, goes to the cared person who called, performs the necessary care work, and inputs the content of the work using the information terminal device 1-6. Finally, submit a recovery to finish the response.

A series of records of the operation of the information terminal device 1-6 from the call to the end of the response is stored in the history file 1-4 by the management PC 1-3. Furthermore, it is periodically transferred to the care software PC 2-1.

The work content input from the information terminal device 1-6 not only corresponds to the calling operation of the calling device 1-1, but may also be performed without the calling device 1-1 being operated, such as work input during round care.

To enable the information terminal device 1-6, the user must log in to the call system 1. FIG. A caregiver using the information terminal device 1-6 logs in using a predetermined password. When the login is completed, the information terminal device 1-6 receives information on the care work list 2-2 in addition to the resident list 2-3 and staff list 2-4 from the management PC 1-3.

Next, a method of transferring the care work list 2-2, the resident list 2-3 and the staff list 2-4 between the call system 1 and the care software 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, the CSV export file 2-5 is for passing information from the care software 2 to the calling system 1, and is a file in which the care work list 2-2, the resident list 2-3 and the staff list 2-4 are saved in CSV format. Conversely, the CSV reading file 2-6 is for passing information from the calling system 1 to the care software 2, and is a file that is periodically saved in CSV format by the management PC 1-3 based on the history file 1-4.

As described above, the calling system 1 of the present invention enables cooperation with various nursing care software by preparing the CSV writing file 2-5 and the CSV reading file 2-6 corresponding to the nursing care software 2 to be linked.

In this embodiment, as an example, a CSV format write file and a read file are used, but the file format is not limited to the CSV format, and a markup language such as XML or a file such as JSON is also possible.

The exchange of information between the management PC 1-3 and the care software PC 2-1 is not limited to the file sharing method shown in this embodiment, but may be direct communication between the PCs.

In the explanation so far, the calling device 1-1 is operated by the care recipient, but the calling device 1-1 is not limited to this form, and may adopt, for example, a mat sensor or a human sensor, or a device that detects a characteristic state from a still image or moving image of a camera. In this case, it is also possible to save the type of sensor, still image data, and moving image data in the history file 1-4.

In this embodiment, the calling device 1-1 wirelessly communicates with the management PC 1-3 via the wireless master device 1-2, but this may be a wired connection.

In this embodiment, the history file 1-4 is stored in the management PC 1-3 of the calling system 1, and the CSV write file 2-5 and CSV read file 2-6 are stored in the care software PC 2-1.

However, these files are not limited to the above storage locations as long as they can be accessed from the management PC 1-3, nursing care software PC 2-1, and information terminal device 1-6.

Furthermore, by storing the history file 1-4, the CSV export file 2-5, and the CSV read file 2-6 on the cloud server, it is possible to use the call system 1 and the care software 2 in different regions.
