[0046] Through the above implementation steps, the RFID electronic tag 100 will become a powerful tool in the operating room management system, playing an important role in improving the working efficiency, safety and responsiveness of the operating room.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, a unique tag identification code is embedded in the RFID electronic tag 100, which ensures the global uniqueness of each tag and provides accurate authentication for each device in the operating room. The working principle of the RFID electronic tag 100 is based on the induction current triggering mechanism. When they receive the radio frequency signal emitted by the RFID reader, they can use the induction current generated by the signal to activate the integrated circuit in the tag, so that they can work normally without relying on any external power supply.

[0059] Each attachment method needs to take into account the particularities of the operating room environment, as well as the frequency of use and cleaning requirements of the equipment, to ensure that the RFID system can operate stably and reliably in the operating room.

[0060] The protection measures related to the RFID electronic tag 100 are as follows:

[0061] Tag sleeve protection: For RFID electronic tags 100 that require additional protection, a plastic or rubber sleeve can be used for protection and then attached to the device.

[0062] Anti-transfer tag: For devices that need to prevent the tag from being illegally removed, an anti-transfer RFID electronic tag 100 can be used. Once this tag is removed from the device, it will be damaged or invalid.

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the implementation steps of the Zigbee communication module 200 need to be carefully planned and strictly executed to ensure that the information transmission between the RFID electronic tag 100 and the central system in the operating room management system is both efficient and accurate. The following are the detailed steps of its implementation:

[0064] 1) Demand analysis and planning: At the beginning of the project, a detailed demand analysis is conducted to determine the specific needs of the equipment and staff in the operating room, as well as the functions and performance indicators of the central system. Based on this information, the architecture and network topology of the Zigbee communication module 200 are designed.

[0065] 2) Hardware selection and testing: Select Zigbee modules suitable for the operating room environment, considering their power consumption, transmission distance, data transmission rate, and environmental adaptability. Conduct preliminary tests on the selected hardware to ensure that its performance meets expectations under simulated operating room conditions.

[0066] 3) Software development and integration: Develop software programs compatible with the Zigbee communication module 200 to implement data encoding, encryption, transmission and decoding functions. Ensure that the software has high reliability and ease of use, and ensure that medical staff can use it without obstacles. Integrate the RFID electronic tag 100 with the Zigbee communication module 200. The tags should be installed on key equipment in the operating room and personal items of staff to ensure that each RFID electronic tag 100 can be effectively read by the Zigbee communication module 200. Connect the Zigbee communication module 200 with the central system of the operating room to achieve two-way data transmission. Perform necessary upgrades and optimizations on the central system to adapt to the new communication protocol and data format.

[0067] 4) Network design and deployment: Build a Zigbee network inside the operating room and configure network parameters such as channels, power, and transmission rate. Ensure that the network covers the entire operating room area while avoiding signal interference with other wireless devices.

[0068] 5) System debugging and optimization: Conduct comprehensive system testing in the actual operating room environment to monitor the accuracy, real-time and stability of data transmission. Based on the test results, optimize the Zigbee network and central system to improve overall performance.

[0069] 6) Personnel training and guidance: Train medical staff to familiarize them with the use and precautions of Zigbee communication module 200.

[0071] Through the above implementation steps, the Zigbee communication module 200 will provide a stable, efficient and secure information transmission platform for the operating room, greatly improving the intelligent management level of the operating room.

[0072] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the network topology design of the Zigbee communication module 200 plays a vital role in the initial demand analysis stage of the project. The careful planning at this stage not only ensures the smoothness of the subsequent implementation process, but also is the cornerstone of the stable operation of the entire system.

[0073] At this stage, we need to not only consider the connection method between modules, but also predict possible communication bottlenecks and failure points, so as to avoid potential problems at the source. Among them, the tree structure ensures that the information transmission from the central system to each sub-node has a clear path and hierarchy, which is easy to manage and control; on the basis of the tree structure, the mesh structure provides additional connection points and paths for the network, enhancing the redundancy and flexibility of data transmission. Each Zigbee communication module 200 in the network can intelligently select the optimal data transmission path, whether it is a direct path through the tree structure or an alternative path through the mesh structure. The design combining the tree and mesh structures significantly improves the fault tolerance of the network, ensuring that the network can still operate stably even if some nodes fail.

[0074] This forward-looking network design enables the Zigbee communication module 200 to operate stably in complex operating room environments, supporting efficient data transmission and reliable information exchange.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the Zigbee communication module 200 network tree topology can efficiently serve the operating room management system and ensure the real-time and accurate transmission of equipment and personnel status information. The following are the detailed steps for implementing the tree topology:

[0076] 1) In-depth demand analysis: Understand the physical layout, equipment distribution, and communication requirements of the operating room to determine the scale and complexity of the tree topology.

[0077] 2) Network architecture design: Based on the requirements analysis results, design the architecture of the Zigbee network, including the allocation of root nodes, child nodes, and leaf nodes, as well as the communication paths between nodes.

[0078] 3) Hardware selection and configuration: Select a Zigbee communication module 200 suitable for the tree topology, including a coordinator (as a root node), a router (as a child node), and a terminal device (as a leaf node). Plan the parameter settings of the Zigbee network, such as channels, PAN IDs, transmission power, etc., to ensure the coverage and communication efficiency of the network. Assign a unique address to each Zigbee node to ensure the hierarchy and logic in the tree topology.

[0079] 4) Node deployment and installation: According to the layout of the operating room, determine the physical location of the Zigbee node, ensure that the root node is placed in the center, and the child nodes and leaf nodes are reasonably distributed. Install Zigbee hardware (including coordinators, routers, and terminal devices) in the operating room to ensure that the communication link between them is stable.

[0080] 5) Software programming and configuration: Program the software of the Zigbee node to implement the communication protocol and data routing mechanism in the tree topology. Configure the Zigbee network parameters, including network formation, node joining, routing table generation, etc., to ensure that data can be transmitted smoothly in the network.

[0081] 6) Performance testing and security measures: Test the performance of the Zigbee network in a real environment, including communication distance, data transmission rate, network stability, etc. Implement network security measures, including data encryption, access control, etc., to protect data security during communication.

[0082] 7) Network monitoring and maintenance: Establish a network monitoring system to monitor the status of the Zigbee network in real time and perform maintenance and upgrades regularly.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the Zigbee communication module 200 network mesh topology structure has excellent performance in the operating room management system due to its scalability, flexibility and strong fault tolerance. The following are the detailed steps for implementing the mesh topology structure:

[0084] 1) Comprehensive demand survey: Conduct a comprehensive survey of the operating room environment and communication needs, analyze the layout of equipment, personnel mobility, and the frequency and magnitude of data exchange.

[0085] 2) Network topology planning: Based on the survey results, a flexible mesh network topology is designed to plan the placement and role allocation of the Zigbee communication module 200 to ensure comprehensive network coverage and efficient communication.

[0086] 3) Hardware selection and configuration: Select Zigbee hardware devices suitable for mesh topology, considering their communication range, power consumption, data processing capabilities and cost-effectiveness. Develop the control software of Zigbee communication module 200, and program the self-organizing characteristics of the network, including routing, data forwarding and network maintenance algorithms. Configure each Zigbee node, assign network addresses, and ensure that they can register with the network as independent units for data transmission. Physically deploy Zigbee communication module 200 and initialize the network formation process.

[0087] 4) Preliminary network testing and optimization: Conduct preliminary testing to verify the stability of network communication and the accuracy of data transmission. Define the communication protocol and data format in the network to ensure that all nodes can follow a unified standard for information exchange. Based on test feedback, optimize network performance, including adjusting node parameters, enhancing signal coverage, or reconfiguring the network structure.

[0088] 5) Implement security monitoring strategies: Implement network security measures such as data encryption, node authentication, and access control to protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks. Establish a network monitoring system to monitor the network status in real time, including node performance, data traffic, and potential failure points.

[0089] 6) System integration and testing: Integrate the Zigbee network with other systems in the operating room (such as RFID electronic tags 100, central monitoring system, etc.), and conduct comprehensive compatibility and interoperability tests.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, the Zigbee communication module 200 significantly improves the stability and reliability of the entire system through a flexible tree or mesh topology. The tree topology ensures that the information transmission is clear and easy to manage, while the mesh topology enhances the redundancy and flexibility of the network. The combination of the two enhances the fault tolerance of the system. The self-organizing network characteristics of the Zigbee communication module 200 give the system the ability to adapt to dynamic changes in the operating room. It can automatically detect changes in the network, such as adding or removing equipment, and quickly reconfigure the network to maintain the optimal communication path. This intelligent network management not only reduces the burden on management personnel, but also improves the operating room's response speed to emergencies. In addition, the low power consumption characteristics of the Zigbee module ensure the feasibility of long-term operation of the system without frequent power supply replacement, further enhancing the stability of the system. At the same time, its anti-interference ability ensures that the communication signal is still clear and accurate in a complex electromagnetic environment, ensuring the strict requirements for precise communication during surgery.

[0115] Through the integration and implementation of the above functions, the personnel information management module can effectively store, update and query detailed information of medical staff in the operating room, ensure the accuracy and timeliness of information, and improve the management efficiency of the operating room. The personnel information management module is not limited to the above basic functions, but also further expands its application in operating room management. This module allows managers to track the qualification status, shift schedule and work performance of each medical staff in real time, thereby ensuring that the human resources of the operating room are optimally configured and efficiently utilized. At the same time, through the meticulous control of personnel roles and permissions, the system ensures that different users obtain the corresponding access levels according to their positions and responsibilities, further improving the safety and standardization of operating room management.

[0116] like Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the equipment warehousing management module in the functional module of the management software 400 realizes the rapid registration, information modification, accurate tracking and maintenance record of the equipment through linkage with the RFID electronic tag 100. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0117] The quick registration function assigns a unique RFID electronic tag 100 to each new device and associates the tag with detailed information of the device (such as device name, model, supplier, purchase date, etc.). By scanning the RFID electronic tag 100 of the device with an RFID reader, the system automatically obtains and registers the device information without manual input, thereby improving registration efficiency and accuracy. The system automatically verifies the completeness and accuracy of the entered information to ensure that there are no omissions or errors.

[0118] The information modification function is to quickly locate the device whose information needs to be modified by scanning the RFID electronic tag 100 of the device through the RFID reader when the device information needs to be changed. The device information, such as device status, location change, etc., is updated on the system interface. The system saves the modified information to the database and records the modification history to ensure the traceability of the information.

[0119] The precise tracking function utilizes the wireless transmission characteristics of the RFID electronic tag 100 to track the current location of the device in real time. The system records the movement path and usage history of the device to ensure visualization of the flow process of the device in the operating room.

[0120] Real-time monitoring of equipment usage status, such as idle, under maintenance, and in use, allows managers to understand equipment status in a timely manner.

[0121] The maintenance record function is to scan the equipment tag through the RFID reader after each equipment maintenance and enter the maintenance details into the system, including the maintenance date, maintenance personnel, maintenance content, etc. The system automatically associates the maintenance record with the equipment information and saves it to the database. The management personnel can query the maintenance history of the equipment by equipment name or RFID tag through the system interface, so as to understand the use and maintenance status of the equipment.

[0122] Through the integration and implementation of the above functions, the equipment inventory management module not only improves the accuracy and traceability of operating room equipment management, but also improves the overall efficiency of operating room management. The implementation of these functions ensures that the use and performance of each piece of equipment are properly recorded and monitored, greatly improving the automation level of equipment management.

[0123] like Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the equipment borrowing and returning management module in the functional module of the management software 400 ensures the transparent and orderly borrowing and returning process of operating room equipment through refined process control, effectively prevents the loss or abuse of equipment, and ensures the reasonable allocation and efficient operation of operating room equipment resources. The functions include: borrowing registration, borrowing duration, and return registration. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0124] In the equipment borrowing registration function, medical staff submit equipment borrowing applications through the system interface, fill in the required equipment, borrowing time, expected return time and other information. The system submits the borrowing application to the corresponding management personnel for approval. After approval, the system generates a borrowing record. When borrowing equipment, the RFID electronic tag 100 of the equipment is scanned by the RFID reader to confirm the equipment information and borrower information. The system automatically records the borrowing time of the equipment, the borrower and his / her identity information, and stores the data in the database.

[0125] The device usage time function starts counting after the device is borrowed, and records the device usage time in real time. The system sends reminders to the borrower and the manager regularly based on the estimated return time in the borrowing application to ensure that the device is returned in time.

[0126] In the equipment return registration function, the borrower submits an equipment return application through the system interface and fills in information such as the return time and equipment status. When returning the equipment, the RFID electronic tag 100 of the equipment is scanned by the RFID reader to confirm the accuracy of the returned equipment. The manager checks the status of the returned equipment and records the use of the equipment and any damage. The system automatically records the return time, usage time and return status of the equipment, and updates the information to the database.

[0127] Through the integration and implementation of the above functions, the equipment borrowing and returning management module can efficiently record and manage the borrowing and returning information of equipment, ensure the transparency and traceability of equipment use, and improve the overall efficiency of equipment management.

[0128] like Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the statistical query module in the functional module of the management software 400 is the core module of the system intelligent analysis, which can provide in-depth statistical analysis and reports based on the collected data. Functions include quickly generating statistical reports of key business indicators such as surgical arrangements, equipment usage, and personnel workload, providing decision support and corresponding data support for management. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
