Embodiment Construction

[0042] The following figures and embodiments are generally explained using the example of a urologist 1 as the treating physician and a radiologist 2 as the service provider. first Figure 1 to Figure 4 Computational models that might be considered are explained. In all the examples, a medical extension device is provided for the main device, wherein the extension device is particularly important for examinations and treatments ordered by the urologist 1 as the treating doctor.

[0043] exist figure 1 In our example, the urologist 1 pays the radiologist 2 a one-time fixed amount 3 and receives a "pay per use" amount 4 from the radiologist 2 for each examination / treatment as well as for previous treatment arrangements (Zuweisung). Thus, the expansion device can belong to the urologist 1 or the radiologist 2 in the amount of a fixed amount 3 or a "pay per use" amount 4 . The urologist 1 can be motivated to pay a fixed amount 3 as follows, so that he acquires an additional rig...

Abstract

In a method to determine and invoice the use of a medical expansion apparatus provided to a user (in particular a service provider) by an owner (in particular a referring physician), the medical expansion apparatus expanding the functionality of a primary medical apparatus, the following steps can be implemented automatically by an evaluation unit. Data describing the usage of the expansion apparatus and / or measurement signals from which the usage data are derived are received from the expansion apparatus and / or the primary apparatus. The usage data are evaluated to create an invoice, in particular a cost calculation. The invoice is sent to the owner and / or the user, in particular to processing devices and / or program means associated with the user and / or the owner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining and accounting for the use of a medical extension device for extending the functionality of a medical main device, an evaluation unit and a medical extension device. Background technique [0002] In healthcare, patients are typically cared for by one, in particular a single treating physician. This is true for both outpatient and inpatient care. The treating physician is able to employ diagnostic as well as therapeutic methods in the course of the disease. Here, he does not have to carry out all the methods himself, but can also entrust other doctors or other departments of the hospital or clinic. In the latter case, the treating physician is generally referred to as the treating physician, who refers the patient to another medical location, a so-called service provider, for examination or other medical services. [0003] Although providers should recover costs for their services, a conflict of inter...
