Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hospital management systems, and in particular to a ward rounds device and system for a hospital. Background Art

[0002] In hospitals, medical staff need to regularly conduct ward rounds and inspections of patients in beds to check whether the patients are in place. In the current ward rounds, medical staff will check the patient's condition and fill in the information of each bed. Since medical staff stay for a long time during ward rounds, they are likely to make noises and wake up the patients. Especially at night when the patients are resting, for patients with light sleep, the noises made by ward rounds are likely to wake the patients and cause them to wake up, affecting their normal sleep.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can conduct ward rounds without disturbing patients in order to improve the quality and efficiency of medical services. Summary of the invention

[0004] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a ward round system for a hospital, which can effectively reduce the disturbance to patients during the ward round.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A ward rounds system for a hospital, comprising:

[0007] Information display module, used to store the entered basic information of patients;

[0008] The data acquisition module is used to obtain the basic information of the patient from the information display module after entering the preset range, and is also used to receive the entered patient condition information;

[0009] The data processing module is used to receive the basic information and condition information of the patient sent by the data acquisition module, analyze the patient's status in place, and generate the ward rounds results;

[0010] The data visualization module is used to generate a visual display interface of the patient's status based on the ward rounds results.

[0011] The basic scheme principles and beneficial effects are as follows:

[0012] In this solution, when medical staff are making rounds, they can directly obtain basic patient information from the information display module through the data acquisition module, and then enter the patient's condition information. After sending it to the background data processing module, they can automatically get the rounds results. The time for medical staff to record is reduced. Through automated data processing, medical staff can obtain key information more quickly, reducing the workload of rounds. Medical staff can make rounds without disturbing patients. The automation and digitalization of the system means that medical staff no longer need to stay for a long time, effectively reducing the noise generated during the rounds and reducing the probability of disturbing patients.

[0013] The data visualization module can provide the medical staff at the nurse station with an intuitive and clear patient status display interface, which allows the medical staff to quickly understand the overall patient status.

[0014] Further, the data acquisition module includes a near field communication unit, an interaction unit, an infrared thermal imaging unit and a wide area wireless communication unit;

[0015] The near field communication unit is used to obtain basic patient information from the information display module after entering a preset range;

[0016] The infrared thermal imaging unit is used to collect infrared images of the hospital bed;

[0017] The interactive unit is used to display basic patient information and infrared images; it is also used to receive input patient condition information;

[0018] The wide area wireless communication unit is used to send basic patient information, infrared images, and patient condition information to the data processing module.

[0019] After entering the preset range, medical staff can instantly obtain the patient's basic information through the near-field communication unit of the data acquisition module. This effectively shortens the time of manually filling in and sorting patient information in traditional ward rounds. At the same time, by calibrating a reasonable preset range, the sign-in function is realized to ensure that medical staff have truly completed the ward rounds.

[0020] By introducing the infrared thermal imaging unit, the data acquisition module has the ability to obtain infrared images of the bed, so that medical staff can determine the patient's position without disturbing the patient.

[0021] Real-time transmission of patient information can be achieved through the wide-area wireless communication unit.

[0022] Furthermore, the data collection module is also used to record the time of receiving the patient's basic information.

[0023] Further, the information display module includes an active RFID unit and a vibration detection unit;

[0024] The vibration detection unit is used to obtain vibration data within a preset time starting from the data packet transmission between the active RFID unit and the near field communication unit;

[0025] The active RFID unit is used to obtain vibration data from the vibration detection unit and package the vibration data and basic patient information into a data packet;

[0026] The near field communication unit is used to obtain data packets from the active RFID unit after entering a preset range;

[0027] The patient condition information entered includes presence information and sleep information;

[0028] The data processing module is used to analyze the patient's sleep condition after the last ward round based on the vibration data and sleep information.

[0029] The vibration data collected by the vibration detection unit can effectively indicate whether the patient moves in bed, thereby reflecting the patient's sleeping condition.

[0030] Furthermore, the data processing module is also used to analyze the patient's sleep quality based on the patient's historical sleep conditions and mark patients with light sleep.

[0031] Furthermore, the patient basic information includes the patient's name, ward number and bed number.

[0032] Furthermore, the data processing module is also used to analyze the ward rounds path of the medical staff according to the received basic information of the patient, and estimate the next ward that the medical staff will visit; determine whether there is a marked patient with light sleep in the next ward, and if so, generate a reminder and send the reminder to the wide area wireless communication unit;

[0033] The interactive unit is also used to display reminders.

[0034] By determining whether there is a marked patient with light sleep in the next ward, the system can generate a reminder, effectively preventing medical staff from causing unnecessary interference to patients with light sleep during ward rounds.

[0035] Further, the sleep information includes whether the person has slept or not slept;

[0036] The data processing module is used to determine whether the vibration value at the start time of the vibration data of the sleeping patient within the preset time is greater than the vibration threshold. If the vibration value at the start time is greater than or equal to the vibration threshold, it is determined whether there is a vibration value at other time greater than the vibration value at the start time. If so, it is marked as the patient is awake.

[0037] If the vibration value at the start time is less than the vibration threshold, then determine whether there are other times when the vibration value is greater than the vibration threshold. If so, mark the patient as awake.

[0038] By analyzing vibration data, the patient's overall sleep condition can be accurately assessed.

[0039] A second object of the present invention is to provide a ward rounds device for a hospital using the above system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] Figure 1 The present invention is a logic block diagram of a first embodiment of a ward rounds system for a hospital. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, a ward round system for a hospital in this embodiment includes: an information display module, a data acquisition module, a data processing module, and a data visualization module.

[0044] The information display module is used to store the entered basic information of patients.

[0045] Specifically, the information display module includes an active RFID unit and a vibration detection unit;

[0046] The active RFID unit stores pre-entered basic patient information; the basic patient information includes the patient's name, ward number and bed number.

[0047] The vibration detection unit is used to obtain vibration data within a preset time starting from the data packet transmission between the active RFID unit and the near field communication unit; the preset time is 10-30 seconds, and is 30 seconds in this embodiment.

[0048] The active RFID unit is used to obtain vibration data from the vibration detection unit and package the vibration data and the basic information of the patient into a data packet.

[0049] In this embodiment, the information display module uses an information card set on the patient's bed; the active RFID unit and the vibration detection unit are built into the information card, and the information card also has a built-in battery to power the active RFID unit and the vibration detection unit. The vibration detection unit uses an omnidirectional micro vibration sensor.

[0050] The data collection module is used to obtain the patient's basic information from the information display module after entering the preset range. It is also used to receive the input patient condition information and record the time of receiving the patient's basic information.

[0051] Specifically, the data acquisition module includes a near field communication unit, an interaction unit, an infrared thermal imaging unit, and a wide area wireless communication unit;

[0052] The near field communication unit is used to obtain data packets from the active RFID unit after entering a preset range;

[0053] The infrared thermal imaging unit is used to collect infrared images of the hospital bed;

[0054] The interactive unit is used to display basic patient information and infrared images; it is also used to receive input patient condition information; the input patient condition information includes presence information and sleep information; the sleep information includes whether the patient has slept or not slept;

[0055] The wide area wireless communication unit is used to send basic patient information, infrared images, and patient condition information to the data processing module.

[0056] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module adopts a handheld mobile terminal; it integrates a near field communication unit, an infrared thermal imaging unit and a wide area wireless communication unit, and the touch screen of the mobile terminal serves as an interaction unit.

[0057] Medical staff conduct ward rounds with handheld mobile terminals. After arriving at the patient's bed, they place the mobile terminal close to the information card and read the data packet. The patient's basic information is displayed on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. The medical staff enters the patient's condition information based on what they observe, that is, whether the patient is in place or not. If the patient is in place, they enter whether the patient is asleep or not. If it is inconvenient to observe the patient directly, an infrared thermal imaging unit can be used to generate an infrared image to determine whether the patient is in place, reduce walking, and thus reduce noise.

[0058] The data processing module is used to receive the basic information and patient condition information of the patient sent by the data acquisition module, analyze the patient's presence, and generate the ward round result. In this embodiment, the ward round result is, for example: xxx patient, present, ward round time XXXX, ward round medical staff: xxxx, where the information of the ward round medical staff is pre-entered through the handheld mobile terminal.

[0059] The data processing module is also used to analyze the patient's sleep condition after the last ward round based on the vibration data and sleep information. It is also used to analyze the patient's sleep quality based on the patient's historical sleep condition and mark patients with light sleep.

[0060] Specifically, when analyzing the patient's sleep condition after the last ward round, the data processing module is used to determine whether the vibration value at the starting moment of the vibration data of the sleeping patient within the preset time is greater than the vibration threshold. If the vibration value at the starting moment is greater than or equal to the vibration threshold, or it is caused by the contact between the mobile terminal and the information card, it is determined whether there are other moments with vibration values ​​greater than the vibration value at the starting moment. If so, it indicates that there is an external effect later, and the patient is marked as awake; if the vibration value at the starting moment is less than the vibration threshold, excluding the situation where the mobile terminal is in contact with the information card, it is determined whether there are other moments with vibration values ​​greater than the vibration threshold. If so, it is marked as the patient is awake. If the rising condition is not met, it is marked as the patient is not awake. The vibration threshold can be calibrated according to the actual situation, for example, to reflect the vibration of the information card caused by the patient moving on the bed.

[0061] In this embodiment, when analyzing the patient's sleep quality, the number of sleep data items of the patient is counted to see whether it meets the requirements, for example, at least 5 data items, and then it is determined whether the proportion of the patient's wakefulness exceeds 60%. If so, the patient is marked as having light sleep.

[0062] The data processing module is also used to analyze the medical staff's ward rounds route based on the received patient basic information and estimate the next ward that the medical staff will visit; determine whether there is a marked light sleeper in the next ward, and if so, generate a reminder and send the reminder to the wide area wireless communication unit; the interactive unit is also used to display the reminder.

[0063] For example, the basic information of the patient shows that the ward number increases in sequence. The analysis shows that the medical staff conducts ward rounds in the order of ward numbers. If the current ward is ward N, and the next ward that the medical staff will visit is estimated to be ward N+1, then it is determined whether there is a marked patient with light sleep among the patients in ward N+1. If so, a reminder is generated. For example, a reminder item: the patient in bed Y in ward N+1 has light sleep.

[0064] The data visualization module is used to generate a visual display interface of the patient status according to the ward rounds results. For example, the visual display interface includes a floor plan, in which beds with patients in place are marked in green, and beds without patients in place are marked in red.

[0065] This embodiment also provides a ward round device for a hospital, using the above system.
