[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] See also Figure 1-5 , the embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0044] Embodiment 1: A comprehensive hospital queuing and dispatching system includes a hospital queuing display platform 1 composed of a data sorting module 2, a waiting display module 3 and a sign-in display module 4.

[0045] As a preferred solution, in order to realize data support for queuing time calculation, the data sorting module 2 includes an age analysis unit 201, an examination speed analysis unit 202 and a data storage unit 203. The age analysis unit 201 is used to divide the historical patients who have visited different departments into age groups, and obtain the historical consultation time data of patients in different departments under different age groups as the data to be analyzed;

[0046] The age analysis unit 201 is connected to the examination speed analysis unit 202. The examination speed analysis unit 202 is used to obtain the consultation time of patients of different age groups in different departments by averaging after removing the maximum and minimum duration values ​​in the data to be analyzed, as the reference consultation time of patients of the age group in the corresponding department;

[0047] The inspection speed analysis unit 202 is connected to the data storage unit 203, and the data storage unit 203 is used to establish and store the association relationship of department-reference consultation duration-age group.

[0048] As a preferred solution, in order to provide patients with more time-saving queuing guidance, the data sorting module 2 is connected to the sign-in display module 4, and the sign-in display module 4 is connected to the hospital information system 6 and the electronic medical record system 7 respectively, wherein the hospital information system 6 and the electronic medical record system 7 are used to provide the patient's relevant information to the sign-in display module 4, including but not limited to the patient's age and items to be examined. The sign-in display module 4 includes a patient information acquisition unit 401, a waiting time calculation unit 402 and a sign-in confirmation unit 403. The patient information acquisition unit 401 is used to obtain the patient's identity information and information on the items to be examined, and to determine the patient's age group and the department to be examined.

[0049] The patient information acquisition unit 401 is connected to the waiting time calculation unit 402. The waiting time calculation unit 402 is used to calculate the queuing time required for the current department to be examined according to the association relationship of department-reference consultation time-age group. The calculation method of the queuing time includes:

[0050] Obtain the number of patients in the queue of the current department to be examined, as well as the patient age group information, and calculate the total consultation time corresponding to the number of patients in the queue according to the correlation relationship between department - reference consultation time - age group;

[0051] Get the entry time of patients in the current department to be examined, subtract the patient entry time from the reference consultation time, and add it to the total consultation time to get the queuing time required for the current department to be examined.

[0052] As a detailed description, the length of time a patient in the examination state has been entered is determined as follows:

[0053] When the patient enters the department and refreshes the electronic consultation card on the physician's side, this is taken as the time when the patient starts the consultation. When obtaining the time to calculate the waiting time, this time minus the time when the patient starts the consultation is the patient's entry time in the examination state.

[0054] The waiting time calculation unit 402 is connected to the confirmation check-in unit 403. The confirmation check-in unit 403 is used to add the patient to the end of the queue of the corresponding department to be examined when the patient confirms to check in at a department to be examined, and automatically select the department to be examined with the shortest queue time by default.

[0055] As a preferred solution, in order to facilitate patients' understanding of the waiting time required for different departments, the check-in display module 4 is connected to the waiting display module 3. The waiting display module 3 includes a queuing information update unit 301 and a scrolling playback unit 302. The queuing information update unit 301 is used to obtain the total visiting time of different departments, and to synchronize the updates when the total visiting time changes. The queuing information update unit 301 is connected to the scrolling playback unit 302. The scrolling playback unit 302 is used to display the department name and the total visiting time on the same interface, and to scroll and play according to the pre-planned order of different departments.

[0056] In this embodiment, the patients are provided with a display of the queuing times required for different departments, so that the patients can choose a more time-saving queuing method according to their needs.

[0057] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is an improvement of the previous embodiment. It is a comprehensive hospital queuing and dispatching system, and further includes a medical consultation optimization module 5. The check-in display module 4 is connected to the medical consultation optimization module 5. The medical consultation optimization module 5 includes an interval time calculation unit 501, a regional speed measurement unit 502, a patient age intervention unit 503 and a check-in optimization unit 504. The interval time calculation unit 501 is used to obtain the queue time required for all departments to be examined when there are two or more departments to be examined for patients. After sorting the departments in order from short to long, the department to be examined with the shortest queue time is automatically confirmed as the target department, and the difference between the queue time corresponding to the target department and the queue time required for the remaining departments to be examined is obtained as a reference difference.

[0058] The interval time calculation unit 501 is connected to the regional speed measurement unit 502. The regional speed measurement unit 502 is used to obtain the time required for different age groups to move from one department to another department, and after a combined traversal of all departments, it is used as the transfer reference time of the corresponding age group;

[0059] The regional speed measurement unit 502 is connected to the patient age intervention unit 503. The patient age intervention unit 503 is used to determine the patient's transfer reference time according to the patient's age group, and after pre-setting the maximum error time, use it as the transfer error value. After subtracting the transfer reference time and the transfer error value from the reference difference value, a net reference difference value is obtained;

[0060] The patient age intervention unit 503 is connected to the sign-in optimization unit 504. The sign-in optimization unit 504 is used to select the net reference difference with the smallest positive number, obtain its corresponding department to be inspected, and use it as the secondary target department to sign in together with the target department. At this time, the target department and the secondary target department can be queuing at the same time, reducing the time required for repeated queuing.

[0061] To further illustrate, the sign-in optimization unit 504 is also used to convert the secondary target department into the target department after the patient completes the examination in the target department, and again select the secondary target department from the remaining departments to be examined.

[0062] The advantage of the second embodiment over the first embodiment is that by setting the target department and the sub-target department and queuing at the same time, the repeated queuing time of the patients is reduced, and the efficiency of the patients' medical treatment is effectively guaranteed.

[0063] The steps for using the above hospital queuing and dispatching integrated system specifically include:

[0064] S1. The age analysis unit 201 divides the historical patients who have visited different departments into age groups, obtains the historical visit duration data of patients in different departments under different age groups as the data to be analyzed, and after removing the maximum and minimum duration values ​​in the data to be analyzed, the inspection speed analysis unit 202 obtains the visit duration of patients of different age groups in different departments by taking the average value, which is used as the reference visit duration of patients of the age group in the corresponding department, and the data storage unit 203 establishes and stores the association relationship between department-reference visit duration-age group;

[0065] S2. The patient refreshes the electronic medical card at the sign-in place. The patient information acquisition unit 401 obtains the patient's identity information and the information of the items to be examined from the sign-in display module 4 and the medical consultation optimization module 5, and determines the patient's age group and the department to be examined. The waiting time calculation unit 402 calculates the queuing time required for the current department to be examined according to the association relationship between the department - reference medical consultation time - age group;

[0066] When the number of departments to be examined by the patient is one, the check-in confirmation unit 403 automatically confirms the check-in at the department to be examined and adds the patient to the end of the queue of people in the department to be examined;

[0067] When there are two or more departments to be examined by the patient, the queuing time required by all departments to be examined is obtained, and after sorting them in order from short to long, the department to be examined with the shortest queuing time is automatically confirmed as the target department, and the confirmation check-in unit 403 automatically selects the target department by default for check-in, and adds the patient to the end of the queue of the target department, and the interval time calculation unit 501 obtains the difference between the corresponding queuing time of the target department and the queuing time required by the remaining departments to be examined as a reference difference;

[0068] S3, the regional speed measurement unit 502 obtains the time required for different age groups to travel from one department to another, and after a combined traversal of all departments, uses it as the transfer reference time of the corresponding age group. The patient age intervention unit 503 determines the patient's transfer reference time according to the patient's age group, and pre-determines the maximum error time as the transfer error value. After subtracting the transfer reference time and the transfer error value from the reference difference, the net reference difference is obtained.

[0069] S4. When there is a positive net reference difference, the sign-in optimization unit 504 selects the net reference difference with the smallest positive value, obtains the corresponding department to be examined as the secondary target department, and signs in together with the target department to queue synchronously. After the patient completes the examination of the target department, the sign-in optimization unit 504 converts the secondary target department into a new target department, and repeats S3 and S4 operations until the examination of all departments to be examined is completed;

[0070] When there is no positive net reference difference, after the patient completes the examination in the target department, the department to be examined with the shortest waiting time is selected as the new target department, and operations S3 and S4 are repeated until the examinations in all departments to be examined are completed.

[0071] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0072] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
