Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of medical information management and intelligent medical device technology, and in particular to a billing and data collection system and method for operating room consumables. Background Technology

[0002] In modern operating rooms, a large number of medical consumables are used during surgery, including implants, disposable supplies, high-value consumables, and sterile packaged products. After the surgery, nurses or other operating room staff usually need to confirm which consumables have been used and ensure that the relevant costs are correctly entered into the hospital information system, electronic medical record system, or billing system.

[0003] Currently, this process relies heavily on manual operation, which presents the following problems: it requires retaining the labels on the consumable packaging; it requires manual scanning or entry of product specification information; it requires manual verification with records in the HIS system; it is prone to missed billing, duplicate billing, or incorrect billing; it increases the workload of nurses; and it is prone to human error under high-pressure environments.

[0004] Several intelligent consumable management systems already exist in the prior art. For example, Chinese patent application CN202111122517.4 discloses a high-value consumable management system for operating rooms, which includes a consumable control terminal, a consumable requisition and return management module, a consumable inbound and outbound management module, and a consumable inventory management module. It uses RFID coding to realize the requisition, return, replenishment, and inventory management of consumables. However, this type of system is mainly based on the inbound and outbound management of consumable cabinets. Operators need to perform requisition operations at the consumable control terminal. The system records requisition and outbound information rather than actual usage and consumption information, and billing still relies on manual verification.

[0005] For operating room consumables management, the core pain point lies in the automated billing and data collection after use: consumable packaging is often irregular after use; multiple consumable packages may be placed simultaneously and mixed together; nurses are too busy to scan and register each package individually. Existing technologies cannot effectively solve the problem of automated billing and data collection after operating room consumables use.

[0006] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an operating room consumables billing and data collection system that enables fully automated, visualized, and traceable closed-loop management of the entire process of collecting, displaying, and submitting consumables billing information during surgery. This system achieves integrated, centralized, and standardized management of surgical consumables, thereby significantly improving management accuracy and operating room operational efficiency.

[0008] The technical problem of this invention is solved by the following technical solution: an operating room consumables billing and collection system, deployed in the operating room or related clinical area, and interfaced with a hospital management system. The hospital management system includes at least one of a hospital information system (HIS), an electronic medical record system (EMR), a medical consumables management system (SPD), and a billing system. The system includes at least one billing station and at least one identification container, the identification container being communicatively connected to the billing station. The identification container includes an identification module for collecting consumable information of consumables within the identification area of ​​the container and sending it to the billing station. The billing station includes a processing module, a display module, and a communication module. The processing module is used to summarize the consumable information sent by the identification container and generate unified consumable usage information. The communication module interfaces with the hospital management system and is used to send the consumable usage information to the hospital management system to generate consumable billing information. The display module includes one or two touch screens for displaying consumable usage information and consumable billing information.

[0009] Based on the above scheme, the identification container is wired to the billing station, and the identification module of the identification container is electrically connected to the processing module of the billing station.

[0010] Preferably, the wired connection between the identification container and the billing station includes any one of the following: network cable, USB, RS485, CANBus, serial communication interface, or Type-C connector.

[0011] Preferably, the identification container is integrated into the billing platform and is shaped as a groove or a platform without solid sidewalls.

[0012] Based on the above scheme, the identification container is wirelessly connected to the billing station. The identification container also includes a preprocessing module, which is used to preprocess the consumable information collected by the identification module and send it to the billing station. The consumable information is preprocessed through data cleaning, format conversion, deduplication and other methods to improve communication efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the wireless communication method between the identification container and the billing station includes any one of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LoRa, UWB, 4G, or 5G.

[0014] Based on the above scheme, the identification module includes an RFID identification module and / or an AI visual identification module. The processing module can summarize the RFID identification results and the AI ​​visual identification results and generate unified consumable usage information.

[0015] Based on the above scheme, the AI ​​visual recognition module includes at least one camera and an image processing unit for acquiring images of consumable packaging and recognizing visual features.

[0016] Preferably, the visual features include at least one of text, barcodes, QR codes, image features, and packaging shape.

[0017] Based on the above scheme, the billing station obtains consumable requisition information from the hospital management system through the communication module, and the display module is used to display consumable usage information, consumable requisition information and consumable billing information.

[0018] Based on the above scheme, the billing station also includes an identity authentication module, which is at least one of a face recognition device, a fingerprint recognition module, and a card swiping module.

[0019] Based on the above solution, the billing station also includes a voice control module and / or a contactless control module. The contactless control module is at least one of gesture recognition, foot switch, proximity sensor, motion sensor, or wearable interactive device; the voice can also be AI voice interaction.

[0020] Based on the above scheme, the bottom of the billing station is equipped with casters.

[0021] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for billing and collecting operating room consumables, which can be applied to the aforementioned operating room consumables billing and collection system.

[0022] The present invention also provides a method for billing and collecting operating room consumables, wherein the above-mentioned operating room consumables billing and collecting system includes at least one billing station and at least one identification container, and further includes the following steps: S1: The user places the consumable into the recognition area of ​​the recognition container. The recognition module of the recognition container collects the consumable information of the consumable within the recognition area of ​​the container and sends it to the billing station. The processing module of the billing station generates consumable usage information based on the consumable information and displays the consumable usage information through the display module, waiting for user confirmation. S2: After the user confirms the consumable usage information, the communication module of the billing station sends the consumable usage information to the hospital management system. The hospital management system generates consumable billing information based on the consumable usage information and sends it back to the billing station. S3: The display module of the billing station displays consumable billing information.

[0023] Based on the above scheme, in step S1: Before the surgery begins, the billing station's processing module obtains consumable requisition information from the hospital management system, or the user places all consumables into the identification area of ​​the identification container in sequence, and the billing station's processing module generates consumable requisition information. During or after surgery, when the identification module of the identification container collects consumable information, the processing module of the billing station confirms that the identified consumable is in the consumable requisition information. If a consumable that is not in the consumable requisition information is found, the display module of the billing station displays a warning message and incorrect consumable information.

[0024] Based on the above scheme, in step S1: After the surgery, the user places the unused consumables into the identification area of ​​the identification container, and the processing module of the billing station generates information on the unused consumables. The billing station's processing module compares the consumable requisition information with the unused consumable information, deducts the unused consumable information from the requisition information, and generates consumable usage information.

[0025] Based on the above scheme, it includes at least two identification containers, which are divided into a used consumable identification container and an unused consumable identification container. In step S1: During or after surgery, the user places the used consumables into the recognition area of ​​the used consumables recognition container. The recognition module of the used consumables recognition container collects the consumable information of the used consumables in the container recognition area and sends it to the billing station. The processing module of the billing station generates the used consumable information. During or after surgery, the user places unused consumables into the recognition area of ​​the unused consumables recognition container. The recognition module of the used consumables recognition container collects the consumable information of unused consumables in the container recognition area and sends it to the billing station. The processing module of the billing station generates unused consumable information. The billing station's processing module summarizes and compares the consumable requisition information, used consumable information, and unused consumable information. If the comparison is correct, consumable usage information is generated. If the comparison is incorrect, the billing station's display module displays a warning message and incorrect consumable information.

[0026] Based on the above scheme, in step S1: before the user confirms the consumable usage information, the user can confirm, delete, add or modify the consumable usage information, consumable requisition information, unused consumable information or used consumable information through the display module of the billing station.

[0027] Based on the above solution, the display module includes a first touch screen and a second touch screen. The first touch screen displays real-time updated information on consumable usage, consumable requisition, unused consumables, or used consumables. The second touch screen displays consumable billing information for users to compare and confirm.

[0028] Based on the above scheme, the recognition module includes an AI visual recognition module. When the AI ​​visual recognition module performs AI recognition on multiple consumables, it first identifies the major category to which the consumables belong, then finds candidate consumables belonging to the same major category from the consumable requisition information, and then compares the candidate consumables with the image one by one. After confirming the final recognition result, the corresponding consumable information is collected.

[0029] The advantages of this invention are as follows: The identification module automatically collects consumable information and generates consumable usage information. Nurses only need to place the used consumable packaging or torn-off labels into the identification area, and the system automatically completes consumable identification and billing information generation, significantly reducing manual operations and effectively avoiding missed, duplicate, and incorrect billing, thus improving billing accuracy. Through the collaborative work of the billing station and the identification container, the identification container can be deployed in different locations in the operating room. Nurses can place the used consumable packaging into the nearest identification container at any time, and the system automatically summarizes all identification results, eliminating the need for nurses to scan or organize each item individually, greatly reducing their workload and adapting to the needs of different surgical scales and consumable quantities. Through RFID and / or AI visual recognition, the system achieves flexible configuration and integration of multiple identification technologies. The system can select the most suitable identification method according to the hospital's actual needs and consumable types, exhibiting good scalability and adaptability. Through the dual-screen display module, nurses can simultaneously view local consumable usage information and consumable requisition and billing information in the hospital management system, enabling rapid comparison and discrepancy checks, further improving reconciliation efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an operating room consumables billing and collection system, which is deployed in the operating room or related clinical area and interfaces with the hospital management system. The hospital management system includes at least one of the following: hospital information system (HIS), electronic medical record system (EMR), medical consumables management system (SPD), and billing system. The system includes a single-screen billing station 1 and a billing station identification container 11. The bottom of the single-screen billing station 1 is equipped with casters 13.

[0033] The single-screen billing station 1 includes a processing module 14, a display module, a communication module 15, an identity authentication module, a barcode scanning module 124, and a voice control module. The processing module 14 summarizes the consumable information sent by the billing station's identification container 11 and generates unified consumable usage information. The processing module 14 can summarize RFID identification results and AI visual identification results to generate unified consumable usage information. The communication module 15 interfaces with the hospital management system, obtaining consumable requisition information from the hospital management system and sending the consumable usage information to the hospital management system to generate consumable billing information. The display module includes a single-screen touch display 12 that supports operation while wearing medical gloves. It displays consumable usage information, consumable requisition information, and consumable billing information, and receives user input. The displayed content includes product name, specifications, batch number, expiration date, quantity, unit price, amount, and implant traceability information, etc. The identity authentication module verifies the user's identity, ensuring that only authorized personnel can operate the system. It includes a face recognition device 121 for identity authentication, a fingerprint recognition module 122 for auxiliary authentication, and a card swiping module 123 supporting employee card / NFC card recognition, all mounted on the single-screen touch display 12. The barcode scanning module 124 serves as a supplementary identification method for scanning barcodes / QR codes / UDI tags. The voice control module enables voice operations such as consumable confirmation, record submission, or reconciliation requests via voice recognition, achieving contactless operation suitable for the sterile environment requirements of operating rooms.

[0034] Based on the above scheme, the single-screen billing station 1 also includes a contactless control module, which is at least one of gesture recognition, foot switch, proximity sensing, motion sensing or wearable interactive device.

[0035] The billing terminal identification container 11 is integrated into the single-screen billing terminal 1 in a recessed shape. It is used to collect consumable information of consumables within the identification area of ​​the billing terminal identification container 11 and send it to the processing module 14 of the single-screen billing terminal 1. The billing terminal identification container 11 includes a billing terminal identification module 111, which includes a billing terminal RFID identification module 1111 and a billing terminal AI visual identification module 1112. The billing terminal AI visual identification module 1112 includes two cameras and an image processing unit, used to collect images of consumable packaging and identify visual features, including text, barcodes, QR codes, image features, and packaging shape.

[0036] When a QR code cannot be decoded normally (e.g., due to excessive ink, packaging wrinkles, or glare from metal or plastic surfaces), the image preprocessing enhancement module is automatically invoked. A multi-stage image enhancement strategy, both before and after recognition, is employed to improve the contrast and clarity of the QR code area, thereby increasing the decoding success rate. When performing AI recognition on multiple consumables, the major category to which the consumables belong is first identified. Then, candidate consumables belonging to the same major category are identified from the consumable requisition information. These candidate consumables are then compared one by one with the image. After confirming the final recognition result, the corresponding consumable information is collected.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a method for billing and collecting operating room consumables, wherein the application of the above-mentioned operating room consumables billing and collection system includes the following steps: S1: The user places the consumables into the recognition area of ​​the billing station's recognition container 11. The billing station's recognition module 111 collects the consumable information of the consumables in the recognition area of ​​the container and sends it to the processing module 14. The processing module 14 generates consumable usage information based on the consumable information and displays the consumable usage information through the single-screen touch display screen 12, waiting for user confirmation. Before the user confirms the consumable usage information, they can confirm, delete, add, or modify the consumable usage information through the single-screen touch display screen 12. S2: After the user confirms the consumable usage information, the communication module 15 sends the consumable usage information to the hospital management system. The hospital management system generates consumable billing information based on the consumable usage information and sends it back to the billing station. S3: The single-screen touch display 12 displays consumable billing information.

[0038] Example 2 like Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 2 provides an operating room consumables billing and collection system, which includes a single-screen billing station 1', a billing station identification container 11', and a wired connection identification container 2'.

[0039] The processing module 14' is used to summarize the consumable information sent by the billing station identification container 11' and the wired connection identification container 22' and generate unified consumable usage information.

[0040] The wired identification container 2' is an independently set open-top container, which is communicatively connected to the processing module 14' of the single-screen billing station 1' via a communication cable 3'. It is used to collect consumable information within the identification area of ​​the wired identification container 2' and transmit it directly to the processing module 14' of the single-screen billing station 1' via the communication cable 3'. The wired identification container 2' includes a wired identification module 21', which comprises a wired RFID identification module 211' and a wired AI visual identification module 212'. The wired AI visual identification module 212' includes two cameras and an image processing unit.

[0041] The open design of the wired connection identification container 2' allows irregularly placed consumable packaging to be inserted arbitrarily. Users can directly insert used consumable packaging into the identification area of ​​the wired connection identification container 2' without tidying it up, and the information of all inserted consumables will be automatically collected.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a method for billing and collecting operating room consumables. In step S1: the user places the consumables into the recognition area of ​​the billing station identification container 11' and the wired connection identification container 2'. The billing station identification module 111' and the wired connection identification module 21' collect the consumable information of the consumables in the container recognition area and send it to the processing module 14'. The processing module 14' generates consumable usage information based on the consumable information and displays the consumable usage information through the single-screen touch display screen 12', waiting for user confirmation.

[0043] In this second embodiment, the wired connection identification container 2' does not require a separate processing module, which reduces system costs. For surgeries using only small-packaged consumables, the user can use only the billing station identification module 111' to identify the area. For surgeries using a large quantity or large consumables, the consumable packaging can be placed into the wired connection identification container 2'.

[0044] The rest of the content is the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
